Author's note:

Hello :)
So this is my first fic and just before you read it I'd like to say don't judge it immediately from the first chapter. I had an idea which Im trying to work into all the fics I will post so hopefully things go well.
Any comments about my writing, suggestions for improvement, constructive critique etc is always welcome and I look forward to recieving them. Especially since Im just beginning to write.
Enjoy :D

Prologue:

I uncurled from the couch and stretched lazily.

Boy being a college student was tough. At least term exams were over and done with. The upcoming summer break was something to look forward to though. Sun, surf, beaches, road trips… oh but not to forget I needed to bag a job for the summer and hopefully with luck, an internship to go with it.

Just to keep things interesting of course, things tended to get a little monotonous if I didn't have something to keep me occupied…er academically.

Sigh

So yeah okay I was a bit of a geek. Whoever said you couldn't enjoy what you studied just as much as the other stuff of university life anyway?

I grinned at the thought, navigating around a fair few piles of textbooks to amble out of my room towards the kitchen to whip up a mug of coffee. A variety of books and papers were strewn around the floor from that time I couldn't stand to study at my desk due to total mess it had become with the sheer number of papers scattered all over. So I'd opted to sit on the carpeted floor instead.

Once again, I exhaled, relieved that they were done and dusted. Not that I really had to worry too much. I'd usually complete my units well. Except for the occasionaly toughie of course.

'Gah, I'm sucha nerrrrd' I thought, snorting out a laugh.

Once I had a mug of coffee in hand – milky and strong. With sugar. A lot of sugar, I made my way back to my room to start on another episode of my latest guilty pleasure.

Criminal Minds.

Well, to be honest, it wasn't the crime scene investigating, psychoanalyzing or the general badassery that really had me hooked. Not to say those aspects didn't have their own draw of course. But the REAL sucker was in fact one of the characters in the team. Curse my tendency to fall for characters on TV dramas.

Did I mention I was a bit of a geek?

Oh good, that makes the identity of the person I was currently obsessing over all the more obvious. Yep, the tall, awkward and yet absolutely adorable genius of the show.

Dr. Spencer Reid.

Swooning a bit as he appeared on screen, I couldn't help wishing I could be a part of that world. I was aiming for a career in forensic science after all. Losing myself in thought for a bit while the opening credits played on my laptop, I imagined being a part of the team, being a part of the discussions, the chases, the adrenaline rushes.

'I'd train to be an awesome markswoman and probably carry my gun strapped to my thigh or something really cool like that' I grinned to myself as I hunkered down to watch the episode. Knowing me, I'd probably make my way through the entire season before I was done.

It was a quarter to midnight when I'd finished. I could feel my eyelids begging for sleep as I made my way to the bathroom to brush my teeth before bed. Finishing quickly, I barely made it back to my room before I dived into the bed, curling up comfortably among the pillows.

In my hazy sleepy state, I found myself thinking back to when I wished I could be in the Criminal Minds universe.

'I really wish I could' I sighed before passing out completely.
