----- Hooray to me! I posted the first chapter of my Criminal Minds fanfic. It is called BFFLs, please give it a try! (Well, if you watch Criminal Minds, that is) And I have to tell you, Kennedy is going to become a whole lot bitchier before she gets any nicer. Sorry! But don't worry, Niomi has Jayden…and Max! ;-) -------

"Niomiiii!" My Mother's shrill call from downstairs reaches me in my room, "Phone's for you!"

I rush down the stairs. Is it Kennedy? Is it Kennedy? Is it Kennedy? Is it Kennedy? Is it Kennedy? "Hey?" I grab the phone from my Mom and talk into it, waiting for Kennedy's voice to reply. 'I'm sorry I was so catty,' she'd say, 'What was I thinking, ditching you for Melissa? Can we be best-friends again?'

But it's not Kennedy.

It's Max.

"Hi. Our project is due in three days." He states. "Shit!" I exclaim. "Exactly. So, do you want to come over?"

I look at the clock. It's six and it's Tuesday. "Um, I can't. It's a bit late - don't you think?"

"Right sorry. Vampires don't…uh…" "Sleep. I knew that." "The book?" "I thought you read it!" "Well you might have done research on your own." "Who do you take me for, Bella Swan? Why would I do research when you can answer any question I have on vampires." I answer reasonably.

"Keep it down!" he hisses, "Sorry." I laugh, looking around the kitchen - but my Mom isn't paying attention, anyway, and Kendra's in the basement.

"Anyway, tomorrow after school, then?" Max invites. "Sure. Well…" "Well what?" "As long as you don't suck my blood." This catches my Mom's ear and she looks back at me questioningly. I just wave my hand to say, It's not important.

"You're hilarious, Niomi. I'll see you tomorrow." Max hangs up. "What was that about?" Mom questions. "I'm going to Max's house after school. We have a project to work on - Czech Republic." I reply.

"So you found a boy who's read Twilight?" Mom teases. I blush, "We're just friends!" I exclaim.

"Alright, well. Dinner is ready."

---- Sooo short I know - but like Niomi, I have a major science test! -----
