Hey guys. So I'm new to this whole writing thing and hope you'll bare with me. I have no idea where I'm going with this story and it isn't being beta'd so let me know if I'm doing something wrong or if you want something to change. Also the updates might be a bit erratic for the next 3 weeks since I'm writing exams. Anyway I hope you enjoy the story.

And thanks to everybody who commented on or alerted my story, it was really awesome!

Since it was the first night back for everybody in the dorms and nobody had classes yet the school organised for everybody to get together in the rec room of one of the boys' dorms since it was the biggest, friends who had not seen each other over the holidays stood in groups describing the things they had done, and the things they wanted to do during the year, a group of boys threw a football across the room, while a group of freshman set up a monopoly board in the corner of the room.

Emily walked in following Garcia and Derek, and as soon as they walked through the door a football came sailing towards them while the group of boys all shouted "MORGAN!" however since he was distracted by the constant flirting with Garcia the ball flew past his head and straight at Emily who managed to catch it. "Nice catch girl," Derek said as Emily threw the ball to one of the boys standing nearby.

Emily grinned,"who's Morgan," she asked puzzled since nobody else had walked in with them.

"That's me, Derek Morgan, most people just call me Morgan though."

"Oh ok," Emily shrugged and as Derek began to greet his friends Emily snuck around to grab a drink off the table when someone came up behind her, "those are some reflexes you've got there Emily."

The smell of strawberries once again took over her senses making it hard to speak, "Thanks," she managed to get out after clearing her throat. "But you have me at a disadvantage."

"How so?" The blonde girl smirked.

"I don't know your name." Emily said, looking straight into the blondes eyes.

"This is true," she replied before wandering back into the crowd without ever looking back.

Growing more and more intrigued with the girl she had just watched walk away from her and even out of the door, away from the party, Emily wondered what it was that caused the girl to walk up to her in the first place and then disappear again. She picked up a bottle of water and hesitated before walking back towards Derek and Penelope who were now standing with a group of people, until Garcia turned and waved her over.

Emily spent the next few hours meeting a lot of people, most of whom played sport with Derek who she had now begun to call Morgan, some who were already on the swim team and curious about whether she would be trying out for their team. She spent a long time talking to a young boy named Spencer Reid whom she learned, despite his age, was in also senior year, they discussed many random topics which most people knew nothing about and even played a game of chess which Emily lost rather dismally.

So after saying goodnight to the people remaining in the rec centre Emily walked with Garcia back to their dorm, hoping to get enough sleep to be able to function for her first day tomorrow.

"So tell me something." Garcia said after they had been walking in silence for a while.

"I thought you already knew everything..." Emily said teasingly.

Garcia laughed, "No not everything, I just got the basics. Picture, name, DOB, family none of the really interesting things about people."

"Uh that's a lot actually, some of it I'd rather not talk about, but if you asked a question I'd probably answer unless I thought it was too private." Emily became slightly more guarded as her family was mentioned and hoped Garcia would ask about something else.

"Ok then, how about if we took turns. Like where do you live when you don't live here?"

"A lot of places actually, but at the moment my parents live in Italy. Do you have any siblings?"

"That's cool, and no I'm an only child just like you. Why didn't you go to Italy?"

Emily tensed at the question trying to think of an answer that was true but not the real truth, "It just made more sense since it's my senior year to stay in the States, you know since I want to go to college her next year." She glanced at Garcia, but noticed her looking forward shaking her head. When Emily turned her head, she noticed the same blonde from earlier was jogging around the school and probably had been for some time.

"Who is she?" Emily asked as she noticed Garcia seemed upset and had stopped walking, while the blonde, who had seen them walking, had changed direction.

Garcia swiped a hand across her face, "Her name is JJ, the rest you'll have to find out from her, but don't get your hopes up."

"Um...ok," Emily replied unsure if Garcia was angry or upset she kept quiet and continued walking towards their room.

Senior year is the last year of high school right? It's not called that where I'm from so please let me know if I got it wrong.
