October 9th 1999, at Cal Tech in Spencer Reid's Pov-

You would think on a Friday night a normal eighteen year old boy would love to go out partying on their birthday. But let me tell you, I am not like most eighteen year old boys. I'm not very confortable in situations like these since I don't really do things that are outside of academics. Yeah you guessed it. I'm a nerd. I have a IQ of 187, an eidetic memory, and can read up to 20,000 words per minute. You can say I'm a genious but I don't brag about it. I'm also a doctor. Not a medical doctor. I have PhDs in Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering also BAs in Phychology and Sociology. I'm currently working on one in Philosophy. But enough about me. As you may have noticed its my birthday today. My friend and roomate Ethan dragged me out our room after about two hours after we came back from class.

Me: Ethan where are we going?

Ethan: You are going to have on your birthday like it or not.

Me: I have fun by reading.

Ethan: There's more to life than just books Spence. Besides you only turn eighteen once. So you and I are going to go have fun.

Me: Where?

Ethan: Just shut up and go in.

We stopped at a large dome-like building. It looked like an observatory I was about to smile when I quickly realized that it wasn't his style. So we went in. It was full of people and loud. Loud pop music was being played. I looked to the ground and saw everyone on rollarskates.

Me: No way.

Ethan: Happy Birthday G-man!

Me: Ethan you know I can't skate well. I'll fall down and embarass myself in front of everyone here.

Ethan: Dude. It won't matter here. Everyone falls here. So you would be blending in with the crowd.

Me: I don't know.

Ethan: Please man? You are always alone in your books and experiments. Can you at least try to have fun? Just for tonight?

I thought about it and sighed. I just knew I was going to regreat this. I nodded and he grinned. we went to rent our skates and put them on. I went in small glides while Ethan went to show off.

We went to a party room and found the birthday party we were 'supposely' invited to. There were some jocks and cheerleaders from campus while the rest I didn't know.

Ethan: So where is the birthday girl?

A guy said On the dance floor. Glad you could make it Ethan.

Ethan: Thanks for inviting us. Gave me a good place to take this guy on his birthday.

A girl said Its your birthday too?

I turned red and said Yeah but I'm not much of a party person.

Ethan: Come on man. Have some fun. I promise I won't-

Then he stopped because two hot blonde twins walked passed us and he grinned.

Ethan: Later dude. Hey ladies!

Then he left me all alone with everyone else. It got ackword so I left. I was about to leave when suddenly I bumped into someone and fell. It took me a moment to realize I fell on that someone and went to get up when I stopped. I saw I was on top on a beautiful girl my age that had dark chocolate brown eyes that had a flick of gold in them. A mixture of golden brown and medium brown hair. Had a face like a porcilen doll could be get a run for her money. Her skin was a palish brown that was warm to the touch sincev when I fell I brushed on her skin lightly. She was staring into my eyes like she didnt want to move. I could have been imagining things. So I snapped out of it and got up and helped her up too. I noticed she wore a red tube top with a white sweater and a black ruffled skirt. She was very pretty.

Me: I am so sorry.

Girl: Its alright. I should have been paying attention to where I was going. I'm Daphine, by the way.

Me: Spencer. Its really my fault. How can I make it up to you?

Then a new song played. I wasn't familar with the artist and it isn't my kind of music but I liked it.

Daphine:Since you really want to make it up to me how about a dance.

Me:I am horrible at dancing. Especialy on skates.

Daphine:You will be fine.

She took my hand and lead me to the dance floor. It was crazy that the fact you can dance on rollerskates. So when we got there and found a spot she just began to dance by herself like she was teasing me. All of a sudden this instint of mine push me to her side and wrap my arms around her so we could dance together.

Me:What's this song called?

Daphine: "You Are" by Charile Wilson. Its my favorite.

Me:I never heard this type of music before. Its not my type but I like it.

Daphine:Good. Cause today is my birthday and I need at least one good moment from it.

Me:Wait, its your birthday? So is mine.

Daphine:Really? Its a small world.

Me:Actually its a very big world depending on how you look at it since the diameter of the planet is over 6 milion kilometers and- sorry I ramble.

Daphine: Its ok. It was cute.

My thoughts:Did she just say my rambling is cute?

She giggled and asked So did you come alone?

Me:Yeah. My roomate practically dragged me from my dorm to come here for my birthday. Turns out we were going to someone else's birthday party.

Daphine: Wait. Its your birthday and you went to someone else's birthday party? That is just weird.

Me: I know. They rented the party room for it.

Daphine looked at me like she was surprised.

Daphine: That's my party. I told them I didn't want a party. Just an outing with a few friends.

Me: Oh. If you don't-

Daphine: No, stay. You just made things more interesting this entire night.

I smiled and she smiled back at me and we danced the night away through Charlie Wilson songs. In some songs to other people it looked like we were dancing like little kids playing in the playground. We talked and laughed and she didn't mind that I rambled on a subject or just speak 'geek'. She just listened carefully and asked questions. Daphine just made me feel normal. We just stared into each other's eyes not minding everyone else. That is until Ethan called me which snapped me out of the trance.

Ethan: Hey Spencer! Its 11:30 we have to go. Hey birthday girl we were looking for you the whole night. Your brother waiting for you to get outside asap.

Daphine: Sorry, Spence I have to go.

Me: Wait. Will I see you again?

Daphine: Maybe someday. Just never forget about Charlie Wilison and we will be closer than you think.

She then did something I did not expect. She kissed me goodbye. It was sweet and loving. Matter a fact this is my first. I kissed back and after a moment she broke it and skated away. I was stunned and Ethan just laughed.

Ethan: Wow man you just got your first kiss. With my best friend's sister. Come on lets go. So then we left.

Next Morning in a Dormatory in Spencer's Pov-

I woke up to sunlight hitting my eyes. I opened my eyes and reached for my glasses and I felt something with them so I put them on and got two pieces of paper and one was a picture. It was a picture of me and Daphine dancing last night. We were laughing and she was in my arms, so close to me in the photo. I smiled and flipped it over and saw some writing.

It said: Spencer R. & Daphine G. On October 9th, 1999.
Happy Birthday to you both.

I then looked at the second piece of paper and saw it was a note. It said:

Spencer,
I thought I would give you something to remember your eighteenth birthday and your first kiss. Hope you enjoyed it.

From,
Ethan

I smiled and I silently sweared to myself I would never forget her.
