AU: Ashley Seaver is 15 when the FBI catches her father, and at 16 her mom sends her to a boarding school named Quantico Academy where she meets a boy who makes her heart race, and his group of friends. Possibly OOC characters.

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

Ashley let her eyes roam from where she stood near the drop off area. Teenagers were laughing and hugging each other, telling stories of their summer with big smiles on their faces. Her heart dropped. Not even the Freshman looked as lost as she felt. Why did her mom have to make her come here for her Sophomore year? At least at a regular high school she could escape at the end of the school day.

Picking up her bags, she struggled to keep her large panda stuffed animal under her arm. Her mom had tried to make her keep it home, but no way was she leaving Dobby at home. If the girls she shared her dorm with made fun of her for it, they weren't worth trying to be friends with.

She was halfway to Brandell Hall where her dorm was when Dobby somehow escaped from her arms and dropped on the ground, her arms too full to pick him up.

"Crap." She mumbled.

As she bit her lip and tried to decide what to do, a hand shot out and grabbed the panda. Ashley opened her mouth to say something when she caught sight of who had picked him up...since when were boys that handsome and beautiful yet perfectly innocent looking?

"Need some help?" He chuckled, a small smile on his lips. Oh god his lips.

"Y-yes...um.."

"I can take a bag or two if you want." He offered, Ashley let out a sigh of relief and handed him two of the bags she had. She couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at how easily he was handling them even when he looked to be weak.

"Brandell Hall, right?"

"Yeah! If it's no trouble…"

He chuckled again. She was starting to enjoy that sound. "I did offer, didn't I?"

Ashley felt herself blush, and started walking beside him. Ashley glanced at him from the corner of her eye, a smile forming when she watched him carry the large panda bear not even caring about any stares he might get for it.

"I'm Ashley." She blurted out, biting her lip after the words left her mouth.

"Spencer. So are you a Freshman?"

"Oh uh no, Sophomore. My mom decided I could use a change." ...or more like a place where no one would know whose daughter she was.

"We should share some classes then." Ashley smiled. That means she would hopefully see more of him. "I could take you to meet my friends after you get settled in your dorm, if you want. That way you know some people."

"Thanks Spencer!"

Once they finally did reach her dorm, Ashley took notice of their being two beds pushed on opposite sides of the room that was painted a pink color. She wasn't a big fan of pink, but it would do. Ashley put her bags down on the empty bed, her roommates things already settled on the other bed.

"Oh! You're roommates with my friend Penelope." Spencer told her, placing Dobby on her bed. Ashley looked at what was Penelope's side of the room.

Her roommates bed almost hurt to look at with all the bright colors, but Ashley couldn't help smiling when she noticed it covered in different stuffed animals. Pictures covered the wall ranging from what she guessed was family and friends to cute animals. A gummybear lamp sat on the bedside table along with a cup filled with crazy looking pens. She could already tell she would love her roommate.

"Ready to go? I was technically supposed to meet my friends in the common area five minutes ago…" Ashley jumped at Spencer's voice.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Spencer waved away her apology and gestured toward the door in a 'ladies first' motion that made her blush slightly.

They kept up conversation on their way towards the common area where Spencer explained was one of the hangout places especially when students wanted movie nights, except for his group of friends who always had their movie nights in his friends Dave and Aaron's dorm since they apparently had a bigger tv than the one in the common area, with a great sound system. Ashley couldn't wait for one of those movie nights after Spencer said she was invited when they did have one.

Ashley also learned something about Spencer. Sheepishly, he told her how he was labeled as the 'smartest' student on campus but considered failing on purpose a couple of times since that title made people always ask him for help or use him. It was obvious to her that he didn't like the attention.

He also told her about his friends. There was Aaron the sort of leader of the group that they usually went to for advice or help, he was also dating one of the girls in the group and a Junior. Dave was the rich one who had no problem spending his money on his friends but only the ones he trusted, he had plenty of girlfriends during his time at Quantico but only one serious girlfriend named Carolyn who transferred last year, Dave was also a Junior. Emily was the one dating Aaron since his breakup with a girl named Haley near the end of her Freshman year last year, she was right behind Spencer when it came to 'smartest' student on campus and she was loyal to her friends, gladly messing with anyone who hurt them. Jennifer or JJ as she liked to be called was the captain of the girls soccer team and the girl practically every guy on campus wanted to be with, but she was in a committed relationship with her boyfriend Will since they met the summer before they started at Quantico. Penelope her roommate was a computer genius and very eccentric, she was a happy person and loved giving nicknames to people and according to Spencer she called him things like 'boy genius' 'sweetums' and 'baby doll'. Then there was Spencer's roommate Derek who was the football captain and quarterback, they were complete opposites but were best friends.

Ashley was excited but nervous about meeting them all and she could feel her heart racing in her chest when they finally reached the common area.

"Hey Pretty Boy! Nice of you to join us!"

Ashley blinked at the dark skinned muscled teenager who sat with a group of others and was obviously directing it at Spencer whose cheeks were pink, she suspected it was from the nickname.

"Derek it's a brand new year, must you still call me that?" Did he just snap that at who was obviously Derek? And glare?

Derek only laughed. "Come on, you love it."

"No. No I don't. Anyways-" Spencer let out a huff, "This is Ashley, she's your new roommate Penelope!"

Ashley smiled nervously and waved a little as their eyes landed on her. She could see both Derek and one of the other males looking her over that only made her cheeks turn color.

"Oh you are very pretty!" Squealed the girl she guessed to be Penelope if the bright colors she was wearing was anything to go by. "Honey, we are going to get along fabulously!"

Spencer smiled, seeming happy that Penelope approved. "That's obviously Penelope, then of course Derek."

Spencer proceeded to introduce the others and Ashley gave them all a smile. Aaron looked as if he barely smiled but she noticed the twitch of his lips, he had his arm wrapped around the waist of Emily who had dark hair and was gorgeous. JJ had beautiful long blonde hair and Ashley could easily see how guys were attracted to her but her smile was friendly. Dave was the other guy looking her over but he smiled politely at her.

"So what brings you to Quantico?" Dave asked.

"We don't get many students who haven't started Freshman year." Aaron continued.

"My mom thought I could use a change, and her job has started keeping her busy so she felt better if I wasn't always by myself in the house."

Once again, it wasn't a lie. Her mom wanted her away from people who knew about her dad and her new job was keeping her busy. But it was more her drowning herself in work so she didn't have to think about her husband that had been a monster all these years. Ashley couldn't blame her for it even if it meant getting pushed aside. Ashley would have drowned herself in schoolwork if she hadn't been sent to therapy and learned how to deal with her father turning out to be a killer.

"That sucks, but you at least got to meet the most awesome group of people ever." Emily grinned, winking at her.

She let out a laugh. "I guess I could stick around and see if that's true…"

"I bet Pretty Boy would love that!" Derek leaned closer and pretended to whisper, "Spencer here has a thing for blondes."

"Derek Morgan!"

Ashley felt her cheeks heat up.

"Oh my god, both of them are blushing!" Teased JJ, a big grin on her face that soon formed on the others.

Spencer groaned. "Why am I friends with all of you."

"'Cause you love us of course." Penelope poked his cheek that was still red.

"Sadly."

"I think you mean gladly!" JJ giggled, nudging both Emily and Penelope as all three of them glanced between Ashley and Spencer with smirks.

Glancing over at Spencer, Ashley noticed he was staring at her.

"I'm glad you picked up Dobby." She whispered to him once she was sure the others were finally distracted with another conversation.

"Dobby?"

Oh man...now he was going to think of her as lame for naming her stuffed animal especially after a Harry Potter character.

"As in..Dobby the house elf from Harry Potter?"

Her mouth fell open. "Y-Yes.."

Spencer only grinned at her. "I think the name fits him."

Yup, Spencer Reid was going to be her boyfriend in the future one way or another.

A/N: Did you enjoy it? Please review and tell me what you thought? :(

I was also thinking of continuing this with different drabbles/one-shots (all in this AU verse of course) with Ashley's time at Quantico Academy (not in any order)...Maybe some in Spencer's POV? Review and tell me if I should do it or not pleeeeease?

Thanks for reading! :)
