A/N: This is the morning of the first day of school at the Jareau-Reid household. It leads into the first day, which will be next chapter. I can't wait to dive further into each character in every chapter and I hope you guys will join this journey with me. I hope you enjoy.
Penelope, the happy blonde who loves everyone was all twisted up in the covers with one of her hands hanging off her bed, and her hair all kinds of messed up. She was snoring like a freight train until she felt her arm being moved just ever so slightly, "What?" she angrily responded. She may be happy when awake, but don't mess with this woman in the morning. She heard a voice but was so tired she couldn't quite connect it to a person.
"Are you awake?" she opened her eyes and saw her other blonde sister, "JJ, why are you here its," she looked at her clock, "its five thirty in the morning, go to sleep." She closed her eyes but knew that JJ didn't leave so she scooted over towards her wall so JJ could lay next to her. Once they were both laying down on their backs JJ spoke, "I couldn't sleep."
The tired blonde turned to face her sister, "Buttercup, what's wrong?"
JJ took a deep sigh as she was staring at the ceiling, "There's just a lot."
The tech savvy blonde was awake enough to be out of her morning state. She grabbed her sisters hand and put it on her heart and looked her in her eyes, "Well when you're ready to talk, just know I'm always here."
JJ sat up and hugged her, "Thanks Pen. I love you."
"I love you too, now let's get ready for this first day." JJ got out of bed and the other blonde followed. As they were walking they realized they both needed the bathroom so they started running to get there before the other. Penelope got there first and basically ran her head into the door because it was locked. JJ started busting up laughing but suddenly stopped once she saw her sisters face, "Okay, but you have to admit it, that was hilarious."
"No it wasn't, who do you thinks in there?" Penelope looked at JJ and then it dawned on the both of them, "Matt." JJ pounded on the door, "Matt! The rest of us need to get ready too. There's four of us, not just you."
They could hear his little, and slightly evil laugh on the other side, "Hey, first impressions are important."
Penelope pounded this time, "So are your siblings."
JJ thought of something, "Hey Matt, you do know that if we all look bad then that automatically ruins your idea of the 'perfect impression' so if we all look good, then you look good."
They heard a loud grunt before he walked out with a towel still drying his hair, "Sometimes JJ, you're too smart for your own good."
JJ smiled, "I wouldn't call it smart, I'd call it knowing how to get my way."
Matt turned around after he passed them, "I don't understand how people think you're so sweet, they should really get to know you. I still love you though."
Penelope walked in and JJ followed as she responded to her brother, "You have to love me, and I am sweet…I am sharing bathroom time with my sister right." She gave a huge smile before closing the bathroom door.
"Spencer is lucky, all he has to do is brush his hair and put on his clothes which always seem to look ugly on others but somehow it comes together looking amazing on him." Penelope said before she started brushing her teeth.
"I know; I don't know how he does it." She started adding waves to her hair with her wand going with each strand of hair. By time she was done, her sister had finished her make up and chosen her glasses for the day which so happened to be pink.
"I love how you choose your glasses and base your outfit on that." JJ added as she got out her make up bag from under the sink.
Pen smiled a bit as she got out her curling iron, "I find it an art and a challenge. Anyways, do you know what you're wearing?"
The other blonde put on her primer and foundation, "Yup, I couldn't sleep so I picked an outfit out instead."
She picked up a strand of her own hair and wrapped it around the curling iron, "You aren't going to tell me what it is are you?"
"Nope." JJ playfully responded as she put on her mascara. They both laughed and were in there for a few more minutes before dispersing back into their own rooms. Garcia went back and picked out an off white dress with small pink roses all over it, and accompanied it with an olive green jacket that matched the rose stems, and some platform tan boots. She grabbed some random rings and slipped one on almost all her fingers. Once she finished, she grabbed her light pink backpack and headed downstairs.
"Spencer you look so good!" she engulfed the smaller boy who looked so sharp in his sweater vest and button up in a hug once she saw him talking to one of their moms. Squeezing so hard, she finally stopped once the younger boy muffled something and was trying to get out. Once she let go she apologized, "Sorry, I just love you so much and it's your first day and I just thought you deserved some extra loving."
He sat up on a stool at the island, "I know, but at least warn me next time. I only allow an amount of 12 hugs a day because 8 are needed to maintain one's body while 12 are needed to sustain growth in a person emotionally and physically."
She ruffled his hair as she sat next to him. Her mothers were both awake and had hot tea at the ready for her, "Thank you guys, I have such amazing parents." Diana smiled and walked over to give her a hug, "We have such amazing children."
Spencer and her just smiled and shortly after, Matt came down. Everyone was speechless as he was wearing a button up and kakis, accompanied by his best brown dress shoes. JJ came down after him into the weird silence of awe, "He looks good," she nudged his arm, "But you're trying too hard and it's weird." She sat next to Spencer and ate a piece of toast off of a plate. She herself was wearing black jeans, black boots, and a black shirt, accompanied by her favorite blue jean jacket and a ring.
Matt just rolled his eyes and finished putting the other strap of his green backpack on. Sandy walked over to Diana and gave her a kiss while the others were occupied, "I can't believe they're all in high school now. We need to get a picture." Diana nodded, "I agree. Kids, we need you all to get together for a picture."
They all got together and took the normal all smiling photo the first time, but the second time Matt was putting bunny ears behind Penelope's head, Spencer just opened a book and started reading it, while JJ was giving the gangster pose, and Penelope was just pointing and looking up at the ceiling. Once both photos were done, JJ and Matt made themselves coffee to-go, and then they were all off, after of course giving their moms hugs goodbye.
They got to the bus stop and saw the others. They basically ran to them and conversations ensued. Spencer ran to Emily and Luke first, "Emily, are you still going to watch that French movie with me tomorrow?" Emily smiled, "There is nothing else I'd rather do." He then turned to Luke, "Since I'm coming over tomorrow, can I also take Roxy on a walk with you?" Luke put his hand on his shoulder, "Even better, we can take her on a walk at the dog park. Sound like a plan?" The tiny genius lit up, "Yes."
Next to them, Tara and Penelope were talking. "So," Tara said, "The first Harry Potter Club meeting is today, are you going?" the blonde screeched with excitement, "Of course I'm going. I wouldn't miss it. I've had so much time to read fan fiction this summer that I want to share with everyone, and I just love the feeling of being in there with others who love this fandom." Tara was secretly scared that Pen wouldn't want to be in there this year, but it made her feel better knowing that she was.
In another group was JJ, Aaron, and Matt. "So Matt and I were going to go to hanging lake on our first school break if you wanted to come." Aaron kept a straight face, "I'd love to go, thank you for letting me know."
JJ smiled, "Yeah of course!"
The bus rolled up and everyone got on. Aaron sat next to Luke, Tara to Pen, Reid next to Matt, and JJ next to Emily. There were others on the bus, and it was quiet because everyone was trying to go through their day as much as they could in their brains. JJ was deep in thought until she heard Emily's voice, "You look nice." A smile appeared across the blondes face, "Thanks Em, you do too." The brunette had on blue jeans with black boots, a red plaid shirt, and a black shirt tucked in to where you could see her black belt with a round silver buckle. She smiled in return and then both of their minds went back to the day.
The bus pulled up to the school and everyone got off. The two families huddled into a circle with Aaron speaking first. "Since we all got our schedules early and know who has what with whom. I think that since JJ and Emily have college algebra with Spencer they should show him there first since it's his first year."
JJ and Emily looked at each other and then back at him, "Don't worry A, we got him."
"Awesome, now after that since JJ and Luke meet between where Spencer's next class is, Luke how about you meet Spencer at algebra and take him to U.S. history on your way to English and after that we'll all meet for lunch. If you guys still want to do that."
Luke nodded, "Good on both." Everyone else nodded in agreement and Penelope spoke, "I don't know about you guys, but to me, eating lunch together on the first day is kind of a tradition."
They all agreed once again and then the bell rang. They all dispersed into groups once again and headed for class. Spencer was pretty nervous, but it helped him knowing that everyone was watching out for him. His family wasn't normal to society, but it was normal to him and that's all that mattered. He was excited to learn more and finally be at the same school as the rest of them.
