I do not own criminal minds. I hope you guys like the story. Well there is more to come. I still have my writers block so this chapter might suck. This takes place during September and this chapter also shows how much Scarlett has grown from last time when she dated Reid. Now she's just kinda like him.


Chapter 3

"Why'd you start dating him anyway." asked Melody coming out of her room dressed in her clothes.

"We accidentally kissed and decided to keep it a secret."

After they came out of the room and walked inside the car.

"Well, maybe you'll meet that dude you were dating when you were helping the police find Ryan."

"I told you, I wasn't dating anyone"

"Whatev's"

Then the two of them got out of the car and Melody ran inside class.

" Melody..." said Jacob with an excited look on his face

"Man-Whore" said Melody

"Well you should be happy for us...I will treat Scarlett just right."

Then Scarlett came inside the class and sat down, then started taking her stuff out.

"Good Morning, "

"Good Morning Scarlett"

"Wait how do you know my name?" Then I looked up and saw Gideon there.

"Yeah I was able to get this day off to give you your homework" said Gideon "I will also be here for 5 months then I will have to go again"

"Cool"

"Okay, Jimmy pass these out"

Then, Gideon gave Jimmy a stack of fake case files and each had one name on it.

"Okay class, what Jimmy is passing out is a project I want you guys to work on for the next 3 months" said Gideon as Jimmy was calling out names "So, Jimmy is going to give you 4 fake case files and I want you to solve them. You can have a group of 6 but each of you will have 4 files, so there will be 24 files in total. You need to give me a profile and the result, or criminal and keep a journal that marks the steps or says how you guys solved the case. The best team will come with me to the BAU and try to solve a real case with the team and me."

"Whoa!" said Jimmy, as he called out the next name "MANDY!"

"Okay, so it would be like may 7th- Today we went to the persons house and talked to the family. In the end the team that wins again wil try to solve a case with the real BAU team, which i'm in, but I will be checking each file. So you may get into your groups, or find a group and be sure to separate yourselves into computer analyst, profilers, and communications liason."

Then the whole class started moving and there was talking everywhere.

"Hey, Scarlett. Wanna be partners" asked Melody

"Yeah, ok. Hey Jacob wanna be in our group?" I asked

"Sure!"

"Okay, all we need now is 3 more people. Call Matt, Sara, and Mina. See if they wanna be in the group too!"

"KK!" yelled Melody as she went jogging up the aisle.

A minute later I see her coming down with a girl that has short blonde hair(sara), a girl with long solid black hair (mina), and a boy with freckles and short brown hair (matt)

"Okay, who wants to be computer analyst?" I asked as everyone was settleing in.

"I will" said Mina "I'm awesome with computers"

"I call communications liason!" said Sara, raising her hand

"Okay, so the rest of us are profilers" I said

Then we all decided to get luch together and talk about our project.

"Okay we can do Mina's files first" said Sara

"Yeah okay!" said Mina, looking really excited.

"We can start tomorrow and guys please bring your notebooks." I said

"Okay" replied everyone

"Great, we are soooooo winning this" said Melody

"Having a problem there Scarlett?" asked Matt

"I can't use stupid chopsticks" I retorted, struggling with my chopsticks.

Then we drove back home, Melody slumped on the couch and watched some spongebob while I got a book that I was reading and started again.

"You read pretty fast!" said Melody turning her head. (Pssst, Patrick you know whats funnier than 24...no what?...25)

"Really, I can only read like 18,000 words per minute."

"Isn't there something else that you have though, that makes you get 100 on all the tests Gideon gives us though, like something with your memory"

"You mean photographic memory then yeah, I've gotten that somehow"

"And you've learned tons of crap"

"It's not crap, its information"

"Well anyway, what are you reading now?"

"I'm reading a book called Satanic Serial Killers by David Rossi, supposedly he was a member of the BAU then retired."

"Oh cool"

The next day I came inside and saw my group there waiting for me with notebooks waiting for me.

"Ready to start" I said, then we started writing

May 5- "Okay, now Julie Brooks was found dead in an alleyway when she was walking home from school. She was stabbed 37 times," said Sara, our communications liason."Nobody has reported anything, and the weapon was left at the scene."

"Look at the hesitation marks" I said "It could show remorse"

"And the way he crossed her hands on her chest" said Melody
