Author's note: Originally, I had written this story and had just about given up. Today, I was bored in class and decided that it needed another shot. I own nothing about Criminal Minds or any of the characters involved. I just own the people that I created. I hope you enjoy the story now that I will actually try to finish it. Oh, and leave feedback!

It was Tuesday morning. I hated Tuesdays. It was the only day that had no purpose. You were no closer to the weekend and it felt exactly like a Monday. This Tuesday was also particularly bright. If you know me at all, you know I much prefer the dark. I don't tan well. Actually, I don't tan at all. More to the point, my classes started too early for me on Tuesdays. I had been late in signing up for classes, therefore, my Tuesday started at 7 am. My roommate, Tiffany, Tiff for short, woke me up with a nerf dart to the face.

"For fuck's sake," I yelled in shock "Why are you even up this early?"

"I don't feel good so I couldn't sleep," she answered and shot another dart.

"Oh super. Are you ever healthy?" I laughed and grabbed my things to go shower.

"You love me!" She called after me and I rolled my eyes.

Delightful, there was no hot water in the bathroom. Damn Tuesdays. I took the quickest shower possible and walked back to my room where Tiff was checking her blog and laughing to herself.

"Anything good?" I asked

"There's a pole dancing bunny." She giggled and reblogged the gif.

"Nice, I'll check it out after class" I said.

I got ready for class, said goodbye to Tiff, and walked out of my dorm building. On my way past the library my phone started to vibrate. I checked the caller ID and saw that it was my favorite tech goddess, Penelope.

"Ello love" I answered in a British accent.

"I have some good news and some bad news" she said

"Well good morning" I said "What's so important sunshine?"

"Your brother is coming to the city…"

"Oh God no! He's such a stick in the mud. He comes in and he thinks he's my father."

"He's bringing the rest of the team" she finished

"Derek's coming?" I yelled excitedly "Wait, are you coming?'

"No" she said sadly "You know I stay here"

"Aw no fair! I never get to see you."

"I know honey. Come to Virginia once in a while."

"After finals Garcia! I'm swamped right now."

"Yeah yeah" she said "Just be prepared for this week okay? Don't fight with your brother and take care of Derek for me will you? And will you make a move on our resident genius already?"

I gasped dramatically "Penelope! You know Spencer and I are just friends!"

"Oh I'm sure. He comes to me and is always asking about you."

"Probably because Aaron told him to keep tabs on me."

"Maybe" she said "Or maybe it's because he's completely in love with you!"

"You are crazy. Why would he like me? I go to a school that is nothing like the one he went to, I'm on 19, and we live in different states."

"So what? That isn't what matters!" she said

"Whatever you say Penelope. I gotta go, my class is starting soon."

"Okay. Love you." She said and hung up.

I walked into class in a grim mood. My brother was always on my case about school, what I was supposed to be doing, and that I wasn't doing enough to keep my grades up. I hated that he thought he could come in and just take over. This isn't to say that I hated him, just what he did.

At least Derek was coming too. I really missed him. He was one of the only people that didn't treat me like I was 10 years old instead of almost 20. It was like having Penelope here in male form. Class was of course, boring as usual. I took to spacing out and texting my best friend Liza who lived at home. We were busy making plans for our spring break. I had just gotten a car so we were planning on driving anywhere we could. Now that Aaron was coming I'm sure he'd try to limit my use of the car. I walked back to my dorm and saw that Tiff had felt well enough to go to class. I left her a note that I was leaving and dragged my bag down to my car. I was glad to be heading home for the week. I actually really missed my sister and my dog. I packed my bag into the car and was on my way.

After two hours, I was finally home. The second I opened the door there was an 80 pound dog greeting me.

"Relax Dexter! I missed you too buddy." I laughed as Dexter jumped around excitedly and my sister walked out into the living room.

"'Sup midget?" she asked

I hated to admit it but I was shorter than my 13 year old sister.

"Hey there fart face." I said and hugged her.

"Mom should be home soon. She went to go get pizza because she knows the place by you is shit."

"Awesome. I'm gonna go put my stuff downstairs."

"Oh and Aaron said he would be here at like 10."

""Wonderful."

"I know, Emily. We'll just ignore him all week."

"You bet we will."

"You gonna go get Liza?" Lilly asked

"Duh!" I said and put my things in my room "I'll be back" I called out and took my car keys off the counter.

The drive to Liza's house was extremely familiar. I'd driven them a thousand times before. In 15 minutes I was honking the horn for her to come downstairs.

"You're home!" she said happily as she got in the car

"I am so excited for this week!" I said

"Me too. Lilly told me Aaron's coming in with Derek and Spencer."

"Not sure why they're all coming. I guess Derek is gonna go visit family here. Not sure about Spencer though."

"Who cares? We have a car! We get to go places. Let's live it up." Liza said

I pulled away to take us to take us back to my house where we would sit until we found something to do.
