Del wakes up with a start, sweat dripping of her forehead.
A sadistic smile spreads across his face, stroking my cheek in a loving manner, lust clouds his eyes, making his intense gaze unbearable.
"Your mom won't be back for hours." He is only wearing his night pants, whilst I am wearing an over sized shirt, only wearing my underwear. A whimper escapes from my mouth, and his smile turns into a smirk, but fades away.
"Undress, now." I bite my lip, but comply.
He licks his lips, and stares openly, gazing at my unformed body.
He soon, too, undresses.
That's we're it stops.
Del checks the clock. 5:30am.
Spencer will wake up soon.
Del decides to get up, figuring she'll have no luck sleeping.
She goes into the bathroom, and showers.
When she is done, she dresses in a over sized t-shirt, with 'Iron Man' on the front of it. She puts on her skinny jeans, and her khaki combat boots. She then brushes her teeth and hair, leaving her hair down.
She grabs her messenger bag, and checks the clock; 6:15.
She heads into the living room, and the sweet aroma of coffee fills the room.
She looks over to the kitchen, and see Spencer, already dressed, making pancakes. He looks up, and smiles.
"Good morning, Del. I left your school schedule on the dining room table." Del nodded, and walked over to the dining room table, and picked up the piece of paper.
Spencer set down the pancakes on the table, and scrutinized Del for a moment. Spencer sighed, and put a pancake on his plate.
"I heard you last night." Del was surprised to hear that, and whipped her head to face him. Spencer continued, "I know you don't want to talk about it, but I would like you to consider going to see a councilor. It would help you to unravel."
Del shook her head, "No, I don't need to have some therapist tell me something is wrong with me, especially someone I do not know." Spencer nodded, understanding somewhat.
Breakfast was a small affair, sometimes they exchanged glances, rarely making eye contact. When finished, Spencer moved to clean up.
"Del, since you're already ready, we can go now. Just let me get my things."
Spencer left for a minute, and then came back.
"Morgan's driving us." Del followed Spencer down the stairs, and then to Morgan's car, sitting where they did yesterday.
Morgan smiled, and said, "Hey, Del! You ready for the big life as a high school-er?" Del shrugged.
"I guess." Morgan just laughed. "I guarantee everyone will like you... Wait, don't you have all AP classes?" Del nodded.
Morgan's smile broadened, and patted Spencer's shoulder, "Wow, man, she'll be in there with seniors."
The rest of the ride was silent, until they pulled up to the school. Spencer turned around, and said, "You should probably go to the office first, and get all of your papers, and textbooks. It's," Spencer checks the clock, "only 8:00 right now, so you'll have enough time. Good luck, and call me if you need anything." Del nodded, and mumbled a quick, "Thanks."
Del grabbed onto her bag, and exited the car.
Welcome to High School, Del.

"Do you think she'll be okay?" Spencer asked as he and Morgan walked into the Bureau. Morgan just laughed.
"Look who's becoming the brotherly-type!" Morgan pat Spencer's shoulder and walked into the office room, where the rest of the team was waiting.
Hotch was standing in the front, with JJ giving the over-view.
"We have tried contacting the victim's parents, but they have seemed to have disappeared off of the face of the earth."
They nodded, and were dismissed after the briefing. Garcia grinned wildly, and walked up to Spencer.
"Spencer! Was Del excited to go to High School?" Spencer turned, facing Garcia.
"She seemed okay, if that is what you are asking." Garcia nodded, still grinning. "Well, big brother genius, I hope you're ready for all of this teenage drama."
Spencer nodded,"I don't think Del will be involved in the High School feudalism. Del seems a little restrained from the idea of High School." Garcia nodded, not believing it for a second.

No One's POV
Del walked into the office, at 8:05, going up to the office, to see a small plump brunette woman shifting through files.
"H-Hi, my name is Del Reid... I'm a new student." The woman smiled.
"Why, hello, Del! You are absolutely going to love Middleton High!" the woman shifted through a drawer, and pulled out a folder, "This folder contains all information about extracurricular activities, clubs, sports, and senior buddies." Del raised her brow.
"What is a senior buddy?" The woman nodded. "A senior buddy is a senior that shows you around the school, and helps you get settled in. The school started to defuse the tension between freshmen and seniors. Although, I believe, since you are new, and we have had a massive load of freshmen this year, I think we are out of seniors... Ah, yes! I remember, your senior buddy is Jared Robinson. He is not a senior, but is an extra pair of hands that helps around the school, and substitutes. He a college student, but since he had attended here for High School, he came back, and this is his side job." The woman gave Del all of her books.
Del nodded, and remembered her schedule. She pulled it out, and asked, "Where is the AP History room?" The woman smiled, and stood, "Follow me."
Del complied, and passed by a large mass of lockers. Stopping by the door on the right, the secretary opened it, and smiled at the students in their desks.
"Hello, Mr. White, you have a new student," the man in glasses, and motioned Del to step forward, "Introduce yourself, please."
Del looked around nervously, "I-I'm Del." Mr. White nodded, and the secretary left.
"It's nice to have you here, Del. Please take a seat next to Alex," motioning to a seat next to a ginger-haired, freckle faced boy, "and then you can either take or not take the pop quiz. I understand you have skipped a few grades, and I completely understand if you do not want to." A few of the obvious popular girls scoffed, and whispered to one another.
"I-I-I think I'll try it." The teacher nodded, and Del moved to sit down.
"Okay, class, pop quiz! Everyone get a pen out and have their desk cleared!" Everyone groaned, but slowly complied.
Mr. White handed out the quizzes, while Del searched her surroundings. Alex was on her left, and a girl with blond, long hair, wearing a mini skirt and a tank top sat there, chewing on gum.
When Mr. White handed out the quiz, Del was amazed at how easy it was. When she was done, she turned it in, and sat back down.
Mr. White stood, and announced, "We will have a competition today. I am going to pair you up in a group of two. Since there is only fourteen of you in my class, there is going to be seven groups. Understood?" Everyone groaned, but stopped after the glare from Mr. White.
"Okay... I want Josh with Avery," Two jock-looking guys walked up to the front of the class, "Maggie with Nina, Anne with Siri, Caroline with Michael, Caleb with Ana, Alex with Del, and Cole with Riley." The pairs stalked up to the front of the class room. The teacher proceeded to the back of the room.
"Which ever pair raises their hand, and has the correct answer will get a point, if not then a point will be deducted, even if you have zero. I must stress the point that everyone participates." Everyone begrudgingly nodded.
"Okay, first question. What civilization is considered the 'Mother of Civilization'?" Del shook with fear, but she did know the answer. She raised her hand slowly. The teacher nodded at her.
"The Olmec are considered the 'Mother of Civilization,' although, the Mesoamerican people are still considered the 'Mother of Civilization,' and the Olmec were the first to settle." The teacher nodded, approvingly.
"A point to Del and Alex's group."
The game continued, with only a few other groups answering the questions.
The class ended, and Del went to her next class, careful not to bump into anyone.
She entered the ELA classroom, meeting her teacher, Mrs. Wesley.
After ELA, she went to math.
When she entered, she met Mr. Harris.
"Hello, please introduce yourself to the class." Del, still shaking, introduced herself.
"M-my name i-is Del." The class snickered.
Mr. Harris gestured her to sit down.
The teacher said, "Please, someone, come up and write on the chalkboard, the equation for photosynthesis."
A jock yelled out, "Let's let new girl do it. She's only like thirteen years old. She must be some sort of child prodigy."
The teacher said, "Nathaniel Brown!" the teacher reprimanded, but turned his gaze to Del, "You can if you want to." Del nodded, and stood up shakily. She made her way to the board, and wrote the equation in her neat handwriting.
She wrote, and said aloud, "6CO2 + 12H2O + light → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O" The teacher smiled.
"Excellent, Ms. Reid, fantastic!" Del nodded, still shaking.
The next of the class was basically making sure they remembered all formulas.
They were let out, and Del figured she better spend this time completing homework, and getting to know where locker is.
She wandered the halls, looking for her locker.
When she found it, she made sure to remember the combination.
When she was done, she wandered around for the library. Someone tapped her on the shoulder, making her whip around.
She saw a man about 6'4, Spencer's height, stand in front of her. He had a button up, dark navy blue shirt on, with dark blue jeans. He had chestnut eyes, with brown hair.
"Hey, you must be Delaney. I'm Jared. I'm your buddy for the school year." Del nodded, shaking.
"Call me Del." Jared nodded.
"If you're looking for the cafeteria, it's the other way." Del shook her head.
"No, I actually-." Jared cut her off.
"C'mon. I'll introduce you to some of my friends." Del reluctantly nodded. She followed Jared,and entered a big room, with six table; jocks and cheerleaders, geeks, nerds, computer geniuses, goths, and college students.
Two guys came up to Del.
"Hey, I'm Nate, and this is Derek." A blond man pointed to a dirty blond.
"Del."
A girl walked up to Jared, pulling him into a deep kiss. She had blond hair and crystal blue eyes. She had a too-short black skirt, a pink almost see through shirt, and black heels.
"Who's the girl?" She broke the kiss, and put her arm on Jared's shoulder protectively.
"I'm her 'senior buddy.' Her name's Del." Del kept her eyes locked on the floor, but managed to wave slightly.
"Whatever. C'mon, babe, sit with me." She pulled him towards her table, leaving Del standing awkwardly in the middle of the cafeteria.
Del started to leave, but was stopped by a girl that looked she was a sophomore.
"Hey, where you going? Wanna sit with me?" Del nodded, and sat down at the table the girl specified.
"What's your name? I'm Kassie with a K." Del responded, "Del."
Nobody was at the table Del was sitting. A few awkward minutes later, Kassie broke the silence.
"You're new. What's your next class?" Del took her schedule out, handing it to Kassie.
"I go to AP Science." With that response, Kassie smiled. "Me too! You can sit by me!"
Once lunch was over, they made their way to Science. When they arrived a petite woman was in the middle of a lesson.
"Ah, Ms. Kassie, I see that you have already managed to make a new student late for class." The teacher turned to Del.
"What's your name, dear?" Del shook. "I-I'm D-Del."
The same jock that called out in math, Nathaniel Brown, spoke out, "What are you? A Chihuahua?" The entire class except Kassie and the teacher laughed.
"Students! You are being very disrespectful. Nathaniel Brown, detention after school!" Nathaniel grimaced.
"I thought I told you to call me Nate, not Nathaniel!" The teacher was furious.
"Nathaniel, you have a week of detention," she then directed her attention on Del and Kassie, "Go sit down; the both of you."
Del and Kassie were quick to sit down.
"Today, we are going to go over the different types of vertebrates and invertebrates. Do we have any volunteer?" Nobody raised their hand. "Del? Would you be kind enough to answer?" Del nodded, grimly. She was already a freak, but she knew she had to give this teacher the correct answer.
"There are five vertebrates; Mammals, fish, reptiles, amphibians, and birds. As for invertebrates; Segmented worms, echinoderms, sponges, arthropods, and mollusks." The teacher smiled.
The rest of class was uneventful. Kassie and Del made their way to Latin. When they got there, the teacher has a translating assignment on the board.
"Translate this by the end of the day, or it becomes homework, along with the two other translating assignments you have to do for homework. If you finish early, you may start your homework. And if you finish everything, which is highly unlikely, hand them in, and then you may go to the library for the remainder of the day. Is that clear?"
Everyone nodded, and started their work. Del began to translate, finding it incredibly easy. She finished all three assignments, with ten minutes to spare. She decided to turn them in, even if she would be even more of a freak. When she turned them in, the teacher eyed her cautiously.
"Are you done?" Del nodded.
Del decided to go to where Spencer and Morgan had dropped her off, and wait for Spencer to pick her up. Fifteen minutes later, Spencer pulled up, in his own car. Del got in the passenger seat, and eyed Spencer cautiously when they drove off.
"How was school?" Del mumbled, "Fine."
Spencer sighed. "We're going to the Bureau for a while. I assume you have homework?" Del shook her head. "I already finished it." Spencer nodded.
"So, I was thinking you and I could go to the bookstore later. I have noticed that you liked to read." Del nodded.
"I-Is, um, there any news w-with the case you're working on?" Spencer nodded.
"Yes, but I don't think it's such a good idea to share that information with you." Del nodded, a little mad at Spencer.
When they arrived at the Bureau, Garcia, Emily, and JJ rushed over to Del.
"So!? How was High School?" Garcia asked. Del smiled slightly. "It was fine." Garcia frowned.
"C'mon cupcake, tell us everything! Were there any cute boys? Oh, what about cute teachers?" Spencer's head snapped up at that comment.
"What? Cute teachers?" Del shook her head. "No, I only have two male teachers. One is bald, and looks about fifty, and the other is roughly in his forties."
Spencer softened slightly.
Hotch entered, and focused his attention on Del.
"mandokarla? ganar a jate tuur at bajur?" Del smiled. "naas." Hotch nodded, and turned to his team.
"Let's meet in the conference room. We have a new case. Del, you are welcome to come as well, that is, if Reid- I mean Spencer let's you. You have a high intelligence for your age." Del turned her head to Spencer.
Spencer nodded, but knew that he should talk to Hotch about Del, and what she is limited to.
When everyone entered, JJ began the over-view. "A male, roughly around thirty, has been suspected of sexually abusing young girls around the age of thirteen to sixteen. His name is Noah, and we have a sketch of what the unsub might look like." A picture of a man with dark brown, almost black hair and dark brown eyes appeared.
"The unsub is about 6'5, and was last spotted at Honeycombs Cafe, about two miles from the Bureau." JJ handed out the the rest of the information to everyone, including Del.
A few hours later, Spencer and Del left.
"We're going to the book store." Del nodded.
When they arrived, Del instantly made her way over to the forensic area. She had remembered everything on the new case. She looked through the different books that could help the case. Finally, she found a book that was similar to the case.
Someone behind her said, "Excuse me." She leaned down to get the same book she did. She turned to look at the stranger, only to see the same man that she saw in the picture. Before she could say anything, he turned and left.
Del was too shocked to say anything. She began to shake, but froze once she heard Spencer calling her name.
"Del? Are you ready to go?" Del nodded, and made her way up to the register. Once Spencer payed, they made their way over to Spencer's car, not knowing that they had a pair of eyes on them.
When they got back to the apartment, Del went to her room, and drew. She drew a picture of the same man she saw at the book store; the accused pedophile.
She started to read the forensic book she got at the book store.
"Del? Dinner is ready." Del made her way to the dining room, and sat down at the table.
"I-I'm not really hungry." Spencer frowned. "Did you eat lunch at school today?" Del nodded.
"Alright. You're excused tonight, but please try to get used to our meal times... I know it's different."
After a few minutes, Del mustered up enough courage to ask, "When did you leave?" Spencer was taken aback, but answered.
"I left when I was eighteen." Del was silent for the rest of the night.
She left to her room, and went to sleep.
"Come here!" She entered the living room.
She was roughly taken by her father to his bedroom.
"Please, please, please, don't do this." A smirk appeared on his features.
He started to undress her and-
That's when she woke up screaming. Spencer came rushing in the room, and held onto his sister tightly.
"Shh, It's fine, It's okay." Del sobbed into Spencer's shirt. "It'll never be okay."
A/N: I'm sorry I haven't updated in quite a while. I was finishing school, but it's summer now! I can't guarantee I'll update 24/7, but the next update won't take as long since I know what I'm going to do with everything. But, I am open to any suggestions! Anyway... I hope you guys see that Del is opening up to Spencer a tad.
Mando'a Conversation Between Hotch and Del:
Hotch: How are you? Did you have a good day at school?
Del: Fine.
