A/N this is my first fanfic so please be nice . Any ideas would be amazing. Hope you enjoy my version of the wonderful Dr Spencer Reid.

Chapter One.

Spencer Reid was a nerd. There was no way to deny it. He knew he was a nerd, his friends knew he was a nerd and unfortunately the girls also knew he was a nerd he thought as he watched another pretty girl completely blank him in the line at the coffee shop. Admittedly all he did was smile at her, but he thought that it came out as more of a grimace than an actual smile. On occasions he didn't mind being a nerd, like when he was working a case when his vast knowledge could help crack even the toughest of cases. The rest of the time though he wished he wasn't and that he would at least get some attention from the girls. He didn't want a different girl every time the team went out like Morgan did, but it would be nice to be able to bring a date to some of the FBI functions and a date every now and again would be good. He wished he had someone to go home to on a night, or after a case. He wished, well he wished a lot of things. Lost in his train of thought it took him a second to realise that his phone was ringing. He took it out of his pocket and took one look at the screen. JJ. That could only mean one thing –the team had a new case. Sighing, he turned around and walked towards the door of the coffee shop, abandoning his place in line. He put his phone back in his pocket, not looking in front of him and walked straight in to the prettiest girl he had ever seen. She was quite tall, coming to about his shoulder, long dark brown hair that fell in curls to her waist, a sweet smile and the deepest brown eyes he had ever seen. He tried to apologise but was lost for words as he stared into her deep brown eyes. "S-s-sorry. I should have looked where I was going" he stuttered.

"No, it was my fault, I shouldn't read and walk at the same time" she replied. Even her voice was mesmerising he thought. So soft and sweet and had a faint Texan twang subtly hidden in her words. She wore dark blue skinny jeans, a long sleeve purple checked top unbuttoned over a white vest top and black sneakers. He scuffed his shoe on the floor, looking down and realised that when he had bumped into her, she had dropped her book. He bent down and quickly retrieved her book for her, look at the cover as he stood up. TheOdysseyit read, he was familiar with the book. He handed her the book and noticed the slight blush in her cheeks as she took it from his hand. She brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, her eyes locking with his. A phone rang and startled them both, looking down Spencer pulled his phone back out of his pocket and saw Morganon the screen, sighing he ran his fingers through his hair, looked back at the girl and said "I have to go"

Disappointment flickered across her face before she removed it and said "I understand, see you around sometime" and with that she was gone into the coffee shop and Spencer was left by the door, almost breathless as his phone rang again, Morganagain and he hurried to work resigning himself to the coffee at the BAU office.

He came into the office, walking fast, almost jogging – much to the amusement of Morgan "Slow down, pretty boy" he chuckled a smile on his face. "Now what's got you in such a hurry, you're never late"

"Nothing" he mumbled in reply.

"What happened – you meet a girl?" Morgan laughed again, this time catching JJ's attention as she walked across the bullpen."Spence met a girl?" she asked.

Spencer blushed and said nothing in reply to either question and collected the consultation files, ready to start on his paper work for the day. JJ walked away as the phone in her office began to ring. Morgan chuckled slightly and took Spencer's blush as a yes.

"Well, what's her name?"

"I don't know."

"You don't know, well what do you know?"

"She comes to my shoulder; she's tanned and has long curly brown hair to her waist, brown eyes a sweet smile and a slight Texan accent that suggests that she spent some time in Texas probably as a prepubescent. She was reading a copy of the Odyssey and was heading into the star bucks about 5 minutes away." Spencer replied blushing an even deeper red than before. Morgan just chuckled in response to his blush and said "you don't know her name but you spoke to her for just 5 minutes and you know where she grew up?" he shook his head in disbelief. Spencer opened his mouth to say something in response but never got the chance as JJ walked up to them and said "Sorry guys, but we've got a case." And she turned and walked to the bull pen. Spencer and Morgan headed to the bull pen and watched as JJ showed them the latest images from a crime scene in Florida.

Across town the girl from the coffee shop, named Zoe Montez, couldn't get him out of her mind. She was putting her books and folders for the day into her locker at university. She was in her first year and was studying Classical Civilisations. She grabbed a hair tie from her locker and pulled her long curly brown hair into a pony tail to keep it from falling into her brown eyes. She was in a world of her own when her locker slammed shut in front of her. She jumped and looked up to see that it was Darren, one of her room mates who was studying to become a teacher. He laughed at the fright that he had just given her and waited for her to leave for the university library so that they could study for their Christmas exams. The walk to the library was a silent but comfortable one; there was never a need to fill the silence when she was with Darren. She had known him since she was little and he had stopped a bully from shoving sand up her nose when they were in kindergarten. They had been best friends ever since. Once in the library she went to the classical civilisations section and tried to reach the book that contained practice essays and their mark scheme but she found that she was unable to reach the top shelf. It was not because she was small – quite the opposite she was about 5'9" and was considered to be quite tall for a girl. Apparently not tall enough though she thought bitterly. She pouted slightly as she Darren reach past her and grab the book she needed off the top shelf as he chuckled quietly at the pout on her face. "C'mon short-stack, you aren't that small. Maybe just grow another inch or too what do you think Zoe?" he chuckled again at the grumble Zoe gave him in response. She sat at the table with the textbook and a notebook and was ready to start studying but couldn't get the man from the coffee shop and his brown eyes out of her head. He was tall, a few inches taller than she was, with light brown hair and brown eyes. He was quite slim, on the border of being skinny and had an awkward air about him, like there was more of him than he knew what to do with. He had grey slacks, white shirt, a brown cardigan and a brown-red tie, what made her smile though was the fact that he was wearing black converse. She couldn't help but wonder when she was going to meet him again. She shook her head to clear her thoughts of the man from the coffee shop and started to plan her essay on the themes of the Oddyssey. As hard as she tried however she could not get the man out of her head.

A private plane was heading down a runway with 6 of the greatest agents in the FBI heading to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. On that plain as Dr Spencer Reid and he looked as though he was reading a case file when he was actually thinking about the young Texan girl that he had ran into in the coffee shop on his way to work in the morning. He was enthralled by how plain she seemed but at the same time he thought that she was the most beautiful girl that he had ever seen. He looked down, finally paying attention to the horrific photographs from the team's case and saw that the girl bore a striking resemblance to one of the victims. This was going to be a tough case.
