Alright finally got around to being able to get this thing posted. Sorry it's been awhile guys, been super busy with school and stuff. This is basically my imagination of if they were all in high school. Not finally the storyline obviously as it's not even in the same time frame.

It was a beautiful sunny day with the perfect temperature and all Spencer Reid could think about how much this day was going to suck. He was a 14 year old starting his senior year of high school and if his first 3 years taught him anything, it was that high school absolutely sucked. He finished packing up his notebooks into his backpack and set up breakfast for his mom. She never came out of her room and when she did it was to get high, but he still did it anyway. Hoping one day that she would snap out of it and finally get her life together. He walked through the labyrinth that was the mess of his house, bounded down the stairs, out the door, and waited for Derek Morgan, his best friend, to come pick him. It wasn't like he couldn't drive, but the law wouldn't allow him to. He sighed as he looked at his watch. "Come on Derek, hurry up." While they had met and been best friends since junior high, Reid never did learn Morgan's terrible timing until last year. Just as Reid stood up to walk he saw Derek's car pulling up to his apartment complex.
"Move it ladies boy. We're going to be late."
"Yeah. I wonder why. And I told you to not call me that!" Spencer groaned as he remembered when he got that nickname. It had been freshman year of high school and instantly 3 girls had began to try to get him to ask them out. He remembered each and every one of them, like he could forget with his eidetic memory. Lila, a peppy blonde who had been interested in acting and Austin, a party girl who had a listening ear. He had become friends with both, but had not taken it any further. Then there was Ashley Seaver. A blonde who had quickly stolen his heart and had become his first ever girlfriend. They had dated for 3 1/2 years before she had broken up with him over the summer. Reid didn't know why Derek still called him that.
"Yeah. But it's fun." As if almost reading my face. "Come on Reid. Seaver wasn't even that great of a girl. You'll find a better one."
"Where's Penelope?" Reid asked trying to change the subject. Talking about Ashley wasn't easy for Reid.
"She's getting a ride from Hotch and Haley." Morgan replied before he started for school. When they finally arrived at school Reid saw his friends: Aaron Hotchner, Penelope Garcia, and Haley in a circle.
"Hey guys!" Reid called out as He and Derek reached them.
"Hey Reid." The group almost said simultaneously. "Oh, here's your schedules by the way." Hotch said as he handed them their schedules.
"Any classes together?" Morgan asked.
"We all have lunch together and we all share AP Lit and AP Psychology. Except Reid. Since you know Reid took all of those classes over his last 3 years." Reid blushed as they all teased him about being so smart. In reality, he didn't really mind getting to contribute something to the group.
"Well I guess I'll see you guys at lunch." Reid said as he walked off. He didn't like that he wouldn't have any classes with his friends but he had to suck it up. He walked into AP Calculus BC and immediately saw Ashley Seaver sitting in the front right hand corner where he would normally be sitting. He sighed and was about to take a seat in the back when she called out his name.
"Spencer!" She said gleefully and she jumped out of the chair and started to drag him towards the front. "I missed you over the summer honey. I'm so glad I get to see you again." Okay. Spencer Reid was officially lost. And that was extremely uncommon.
"Wha.. What? I thought we were over." It came out more as a question that a statement but she laughed it off nonetheless.
"I was just going through a hard time. I didn't know how to respond. I'm sorry." She looked at him with her eyes wide open the way she used to when she begged for something. Reid felt his stomach turned to knots and his heart flutter, but he knew he had to remain strong. She had, after all, broken his heart.
"I understand you were going through aboard time, but you broke my heart and after you never apologized. I don't think I can get back together with you, but I say we could still be friends." Even when he said it he knew he was timid and there was no force behind it. Before Ashley could respond another voice called out.
"Spencer Reid? Is that you?" Reid knew that voice anywhere. He quickly spun around.
"Emily... Oh my god! Emily Prentiss! I knew that voice sounded familiar!" Reid cried out as he ran over and gave her a big hug. He felt her tense before returning the hug and letting out a laugh.
"Oh please. You identified my voice the moment I spoke. You and your eidetic memory."
"It's been so long! Wait? Why are you back? I mean not to say I didn't miss you or anything, but you moved so long ago."
"You really haven't changed have you? Always rambling." Emily joked as Reid blushed. "Well I did move, but my mom had business so attend to back here and so here I am." Emily said to her former-still-hoping-current best friend. Reid looked up at her with wide eyes.
"I can't believe it! My best friend is back!" Emily's heart soared. Even after moving away 6 years ago he still considered her his best friend. Ever since she had learned that she would be moving back into this small town she wondered if her former best friend Spencer Reid would still be there. He had been her only friend and she was his only friend. They had quickly formed a bond and Reid would end up coming to her house everyday since his mom didn't really care for him. Then she had to move and she had worried how he would be. He was always so shy and timid and she only felt worse when they talked about how hard school was for him without her there. Then school took over along with life and they slowly stopped talking until it just stopped all together. She felt herself come back to reality and Reid was finishing talking, "...and it just got really tough and I missed you. I can't wait to introduce you to all my friends!"
"Hmm friends?" After all this time, Emily had not once considered Reid having a group of friends and she instantly felt terrible. Of course he would have friends. Was she expecting him to go through high school without any?
"Yeah? What lunch do you have? I really hope we have the same lunch."
"I think I have second lunch." Reid almost looked like he was about to launch to the moon.
"Yes! I'll be able to introduce you to them at lunch. It'll be super great!"
"Um Spence?"
"Hmmm?"
"Wanna tell me what happened between you two." Emily asked as she pointed to an angry Ashley Seaver.
"Oh." Spencer replied surprised. "It's a long story. I'll tell you another time. But for now let's worry about the important stuff." As of right on cue the bell rang and the teacher began to teach his lesson. However, Spencer Reid, for once, wasn't paying attention to the lesson or the fact that Ashley was sending death glares Emily's way. He was looking at his best friend and thought maybe senior year won't be so bad after all.
Thanks for reading guys. If you could just write a review that would be great. More updates to come.
