Okay so this is the first time I've written anything like this, so I'm sorry if it ain't good :p
Anyway School here in Belgium is different than in America so I based it entirely on what I've seen in TV-shows.
‘Here goes nothing.’ She thought while entering the school and quickly walking down the corridor. She was wearing a pair of jeans, a dark red woolen sweater and her hair was pulled back into a ponytail. She felt like everyone was staring at her. “Sweetie!” Temperance heard her best friend squeal. She found herself wondering how the girl always seemed to look stunning in everything she put on. Right now she was wearing tight jeans, leather boots with heels and a blue shirt with ‘Angel’ written on it. Within moments Angela was hugging her fiercely. She smiled, “Uh, Ange, I need oxygen.” Angela grinned and let go.
Sixteen year old Temperance Brennan was new in town, she had moved in with her new foster family about two months ago. It had been summer break back then and now the new school year had begun. She was scared actually, a new school, new teachers; she had no idea what it would be like. But she had Angela to help her through. Angela Montenegro lived in the same neighborhood as her and had come to the house of her foster parents to give her a warm welcome. At first she hadn’t liked her. Frankly the happy, overactive, squealing girl at her doorstep had frightened her. But the girl had wormed her way into her life in less then a week. They began hanging out and before she knew it they were inseparable. Now, she couldn’t imagine life without her.
“Nervous?” she heard Angela ask while they walk to their lockers, that were -conveniently- next to each other.
“A little,” she said opening her locker and putting one of her books in it. “I know no one here, what about you?”
“Noooo, most certainly not!” Angela grinned. “I know almost everyone in this school.” She turned and pointed towards a girl at the other side of the hallway. “That’s is Lilly Gray, she’s one of the skanky cheerleaders.” She chuckled. “I believe she has made out with three thirds of the male population at Central High.” Temperance couldn't’t help but smile at that, the girl certainly looked like that kind of person, with her tight, short, white skirt, pink top, blond hair and blue eyes “The guy, Lilly is flirting with, is Jake Reiden,” Angela continued. “He’s a senior and a jock. One of the most popular guys in school, though he’s kind of a jerk. But honestly, doesn’t he have the body of a god?” Angela said the last thing so loud, a girl that passed by gave her a strange look.
“Shhh…” Tempe said, “Keep your voice down.” Her friend just looked at her amused. “What? It’s the truth.” Both girls started laughing, at that moment a guy with curly brown hair walked towards them.
“Hey baby,” he said and he kissed Angela on the lips. Temperance cleared her throat and they pulled apart.
Angela blushed. “Uh, right, sorry.” She smiled and introduced them. “Sweetie, this is my boyfriend, Jack Hodgins. Jack, this is my new best friend, Temperance Brennan.”
“Nice to meet you.” Tempe said.
“The same here.” He answered, adding a smile.
“Okay…” Angela said. But Temperance didn’t hear the rest cause at that moment someone walked down the hallway. Wearing dark jeans, combat boots, a white shirt and a leather jacket, a very good-looking guy caught her attention. He had chocolate brown eyes and his dark hair was messy. Still she couldn’t keep her eyes of him. Angela’s voice broke her concentration. “So, sweetie,” her best friend said. “See anything you like?” She started to nod, then suddenly looked at Angela, cheeks red from embarrassment. “I… uh, you know, he’s…who is he actually?” Angela grinned. “That, my friend, is Seeley Booth. Unlike most of the hot and popular guys here, he’s a nice guy.” The bell rang. “I gotta go, sweetie, art class. Don’t want to be late.” She smiled and left. Suddenly, Brennan realized she didn’t know where to go. She opened her mouth to ask Jack but he had already walked away. Panicking she looked around. Everywhere were people moving and walking toward there classes, and she had no idea where hers was. She walked around the corner and she collided with another body.
“I…I uh.” The guy started. “So… uhm sorry, didn’t see you. Uh sorry.”
She smiled slightly. “It’s okay, all my fault. Do you know where the Dutch class is? I’m new here and I have no idea.”
“Yes,” he said. “I’m going there now; you could just, uh… follow me.” She nodded and they started walking. When they reached the classroom, he extended his hand. “I’m Zach, by the way.”
She smiled and shook his hand. “Temperance.” They entered and quickly searched for a place to sit. She found a free spot by the window and sat down; Zach chose the seat behind her. When she looked around she saw the guy at the table next to her and for some reason she felt glad for taking this class. Seeley noticed her looking at him and gave her a smile. Oh god, she thought, he’s so cute.
When every student had taken there seats a man wearing a brown suit started talking. “My name is Mr. Scott and I’ll be your Dutch teacher for this year. I expect everybody to be in time for my classes, there assignments made. When I talk, you listen and I will not tolerate inappropriate behavior.” He rubbed his hand together. “Now let’s start the lesson. What do you know about Dutch?” A few people raised there hands. “You there,” Mr. Scott said. “What’s your name?”
“Zach, sir.”
“Okay Zack, answer my question.”
“Uhm, Dutch is the national language in both The Netherlands and Belgium. Two countries located in Europe, it’s…”
“Yes, that’s what I needed to hear, Zack.” The teacher interrupted. “Now can anybody say anything in Dutch?”
Exactly...does anybody know a Dutch word? I know plenty :p duh... but I'd like to know if some of you know any.
