Hi! So I want to try out this story that's been brewing in the back of my mind for a while. This story is completely AU so please take that into consideration before reading. I hope you all enjoy this first chapter and please tell me what you think!
The halls of Quantico High School were packed out with students ready seize the day. Or at the very least it was filled with students just trying to hold out till last bell. This high school was your typical high school complete with jocks, nerds, bullies, queen bees, and outcasts. Not to sound cliché but everyone seemed to fit into a certain niche of the school. Of course these rules weren't enforced, heavens no, they were just silently mandated by the student body. An unspoken understood rule if you will. However despite all of that there was much to be seen at this quaint little high school even if the students didn't know it yet. Of course I had no knowledge of any big school gossip as I was one of the "other" ones. You know those kids in the class that are so quiet they disappear. Or the kid you sit next to every year and can't think of their name. Yeah that was me. My name's Spence by the way, Spencer Reid. However, I'd soon become part of some of juiciest high school drama our school has ever seen. Part of that was voluntary and the other part involuntary. Despite all that, however, it changed my life for the better. But before we break into all that let's go back to right at the start of the year, or rather about two months in.
I roamed the halls of Quantico high like I normally do in the morning. I get here pretty early since I live on the other side of town. Okay maybe I'm exaggerating a little bit. I do stay on the other side of town and I have to take two trains and a bus to get to school and I end up getting here an hour early before most of the students. The only people I really see are the lunch ladies who're getting breakfast ready and the janitors enjoying the peace. There were a few teachers here and there and also a few students. They either hang out in the cafeteria or the library which is where I was about to venture to. I was looking for Tara who I knew I'd find tucked in the back corner with a good book. Tara is my best friend and we actually met freshman year right here in the library. After about five or six times of the two of us just awkwardly sitting in the library together she decided to ask me what I was reading one day.
" The Color Purple by Alice Walker. It's one of my favorites."
"Mine too."
And from that point we were thick as thieves. We helped each other a lot throughout those first two years. And now I can say she's my best friend in the whole world, almost like a sister.
I try to pounce up behind her for a surprise, because why not?
"Don't even try it." Tara joked as I stood dumbfounded behind her.
"How do you always manage to do that? Like seriously all the time?"
"I told you Spence I have eyes in the back of my head. One of these day you'll believe me."
"I think today actually might be that day T, because your ability to do that is just freaky."
"Thank you I'll take that as a complement."
"No problem. Anyways have you heard from David? He text me this morning saying to make sure I was with you because he had some big surprise for us."
"No I haven't heard from him this morning. I wonder what the surprise is?"
"Knowing David I'm expecting anything from a new bottle of cologne to some pasta dish he made the other day."
"He does tend to have a flair for the dramatic but that's what makes him David."
"Agreed."
As if he felt us conversing about him I got a text from David telling us to meet him in the student parking lot. After showing the text to Tara we made our way to the backside of the school where the designated student parking was located. As if the location of our destination wasn't clue enough David honking the horn of the car he was sitting in sure was.
"So? Tell me what you think. Ain't she a beaut?" David beamed from the drivers seat.
"Yeah she's pretty sweet," Tara replied, "where did you get her?"
"My uncle had me do some odd jobs around his house for the summer and in exchange I got Martina." He replied lovingly.
"Martina?" Tara and I both questioned.
"Hey hey don't judge. I got very close with her Over the summer and these last few months getting her ready. Well are you two up for a drive?"
"It's 7:15 on a Monday morning David." I tried to explain.
"Exactly. Which means we have exactly one hour before classes start. I was thinking we could head up to that little café everyone goes to for breakfast. I bet it beats what they're serving up in the cafeteria." David finished that last sentence in a sing-song like voice.
"I'm in." Tara said instantly and hopped into the passengers seat.
"Well?" David looked at me wiggling his thick yet perfectly arched eyebrows.
"Ugh fine. But only because I'm not trying to stay alone." I say before hopping in the back seat behind Tara.
"All right lets get this adventure on the road!" David yells before pulling out of the parking lot.
I roll my eyes and lean back into the seat. Oh what an adventure there was waiting in store for us.
A/N: Well that was the first chapter. Just to let it be known now the "gang" will be kind of grouped off in the earlier parts of the story. The others will be introduced in chapter two. Please let me know what you think. Kisses.
