A/N: Can I just say a huge thank you to everyone who has reviewed!! You seriously made my day!! Thank you so much!!
The bell rang and they all headed of to their next class which was geography. Kelly, Megan and Samantha were all in her class. JJ was also surprised to see that she was not much taller then any of them.
"So Kate," Megan began "where are you from?"
JJ was about to answer when she remembered her cover story. She mentally slapped herself. "I'm from Philadelphia. My dad got a transfer here."
"Oh wow... I've always wanted to go there. What's it like?'
The four of them began to chat as they headed to the classroom.
"How come you weren't at Tatiana's party of Friday night?" Samantha asked Kelly.
In truth, Kelly was getting briefed by Hotch, but she wasn't allowed to say that. She said the first thing that came into her mind.
"I was at the hospital," she said and then mentally groaned.
"Oh God, are you ok? What was wrong?" Samantha pressed.
"Nothing, it was my Mom, she had a really bad asthma attack."
"Is she ok now?: Megan asked, sounding concerned
Megan's Mom had walked out of the family about 5 years ago, leaving just Megan and her dad. Kelly's Mom Lucy had always been there for her, and thought of Megan as a daughter. Megan thought of Lucy as her Mom.
"Yeah she is fine now," Kelly replied as they reached the classroom and walked in. They took four desks in the back. JJ next to Kelly, and Megan next to Samantha.
"That's a shame about your Mom, but you missed one hell of a party. Sophie and Chris hooked up."
"Are you serious?" Kelly gasped. "Sophie and Chris?: Samantha nodded and the two began to talk about someone named Sophie and some guy named Chris.
Just then, the teacher walked in. She was an older woman with fluffy blonde hair and huge glasses. Someone started going "Baa. Baa."
Everyone laughed, and the teacher acted like she couldn't hear.
"She's deaf and blind. And the Baa noise…well, everyone thinks she looks like a sheep" Megan leaned in to whisper to JJ. JJ had to admit that calling her a sheep was pretty accurate.
The teacher opened up the textbook and began to write notes on the board. Nobody paid any attention to her. They began to chat about the football game on the weekend, or what movies they saw recently.
"What a waste of class" Reid muttered in JJ's ear. "You could be learning a lot."
"I always learn more from you then any book, teacher or class," she whispered. Megan looked at her curiously.
"Did you say something?" JJ shook her head and Kelly leaned in to whisper in her ear.
"Everyone hears everything, especially in this class, so either you don't reply to whoever is talking to you, or you need to be more quiet when your reply. And I hope it is Reid teaching you, because you never learn anything from this class."
JJ copied down all the notes from the board and noticed only three other people copying down the notes. Samantha leaned in to her.
"You're a nerd if you do the work."
'Then how do you pass exams?" JJ asked. She shrugged. "I either copy the exam from someone or get a copy of the exam beforehand and memorise it." JJ was shocked. Not only because she cheated in her exams, but because no one had caught her, and, she openly talked about it.
She still continued to write down the notes form the board. Samantha grabbed her pen and stopped her from writing. Kelly pushed her away.
"Leave her alone." Samantha shrugged and pulled out her phone texting someone.
"She is one of those obsessive cheerleaders. She was just trying to put you down."
JJ shrugged. "I guess I am a bit of a nerd."
"Not as much as Reid." Kelly whispered so that no one would hear them. The two of them giggled.
"Hey!" Reid replied.
"Sorry, my little genius boy." They laughed again.
"You two alright?" Megan asked.
"Yeah." Kelly replied. "I just told her my joke. You know the –"
"Farmer one?" Megan groaned. "That one is so lame."
Kelly rolled her eyes at that comment. Suddenly Morgan's voice came over the line.
"So how's my little cheerleader doing?" JJ rolled her eyes.
The bell rang and everyone went to pack up but the teacher screamed that no one was to leave the room. She pulled out the roll. JJ looked a surprised. She hadn't thought such aloud voice could have come out of the woman at the front of the room.
"Megan?"
"Here miss." Megan replied.
She read out the names from the roll, pronouncing half of them wrong, and JJ had to agree that she was blind, and deaf as Jason answered when his name was called out, and then she called it out three more times and it wasn't until he screamed yes, jumped up and down and waved, causing the class to go into hysterics, that she finally noticed.
Once the roll was over the teacher stormed out of the room. Everyone packed up and left, hurrying to there next class. For Kelly and JJ that was math, but, once they got to the classroom there was no one there. They read a sign on the door.
Go to Assembly Hall. Career Advice Assembly.
Kelly groaned. "Now we get stuck for an hour or so listening to people go on and on about careers. Choose this one, choose that one. Hopefully it is not one where they get someone from a certain career to come and talk. Come pick this career. You get paid good money and don't need to do anything" she imitated.
JJ heard Morgan laughing in her ear. She suddenly felt home sick. She missed his laugh, she missed him. Heck, she even missed Gideon. She longed to be home, but knew that for now though, she had to be here.
They arrived down at the assembly hall and saw that everyone in their grade was there. They were all waiting outside talking in groups, or just standing quietly. She saw the teachers talking to some official looking people and she thought she recognised them, but that was crazy. How could she?
"Oh look" Kelly pointed out. She pointed out her group and the two of them went over to join them.
"You guys won't believe it," Tom said. "There are rumors going around that they are FBI."
JJ was shocked and turned around to look at the official people. It was Hotch and Emily.
"Surprise." Emily mouthed catching JJ's eye, before turning back to the teacher she was talking to.
Suddenly, JJ didn't feel that lonely.
"So you want to be an FBI agent?" JJ asked him. He nodded.
"You get a gun; you can shoot people and get away with it." JJ and Kelly rolled their eyes. He obviously had no idea what it took to be an FBI agent.
Emily winked at JJ as she walked past, and, as everyone in their group was talking they didn't notice.
"You know that not all FBI agents carry guns," JJ said while mentally adding 'and some carry two'
'What are you talking about? All FBI agents carry guns."
"Only in the movies you've seen" Kelly said. They then began to have a huge discussion about FBI agents and it made JJ really home sick so she stormed off.
"I forgot we had planned a career day so that we could profile the kids," she muttered.
"Home sick?" Morgan asked.
"You have no idea," she replied. "I miss you guys so much. Everyone hates me already, and we haven't even been here half a day."
"Don't worry. I'm sure that once everyone gets to know you, they'll like you. And JJ, you'll do great."
"How do you know that?"
"I don't. But I believe in you…ok, an idea. Tell me who hates you, and I'll storm the school and shoot them."
"That's an abuse of power" she said laughing.
:So? You're my baby sister, and I always look out for family."
"And you're just like my big brother."
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm worried about her' Megan said and chased of after her. She reached JJ just as she said "Thank you." JJ turned around and was shocked to see Megan.
'You ok?" Megan asked.
"I'm just a bit home sick."
"I can understand that." Megan said.
"Originally I was from Australia. We moved here 5 years ago when my Mom walked out on the family. I was home sick for about a month or so until I started to settle in. I'm sorry that most people treat you like crap," she explained.
"Believe me," JJ said "I've been treated worse."' They laughed and then saw that everyone was heading inside.
They joined the line and slowly went inside, taking a seat in the back row with the rest of their group, whom Kelly introduced her to. Most looked her up and down and went back to their conversations although one or two said hello.
"Welcome. I am Miss Smith, and these are agents Hotchner, and Prentiss from the FBI. They are here to talk to you today so listen closely to what they have to say."
"Thank you," Hotch replied standing up.
