Emily's POV
11:38 am

Finally Saturday. JJ is at practice right now and I'm trying to be anywhere but in my room because it's all of course reminding me of JJ and the somewhat crush that I may have on her.

I create a group chat: Derek, Hotch, Reid, Pen, JJ and Elle

And I text:
Hey guys... so random I know but would you guys want to go out for lunch? Maybe do something fun afterward

They all text back saying that they were down and they asked who the random number was. I tell them that it's my new friend Spencer who happens to be a genius.

Around 1:00 I start to get ready to go out to lunch, throwing on jeans and a red top. I sit down at my desk to start my make up and JJ comes in the room.

"Hey Em." She says, smelling like she just worked out. It's kinda hot.

"Hey! Did I ever tell you that you're the only person who calls me Em." I say as I apply brush. "Would you like me to stop?" JJ laughs. "No, I like it." I sat and immediately regret my words. Fuck.

"That's what I thought," she says sarcastically. "Now should I wear shorts or jeans to this." She says. "Uh... shorts, it's kinda hot out." "You're wearing jeans." She says. "I'm emily." "Right." She laughs as she goes behind the curtain to change into her robe.

"I'll be back I'm going to shower." She says. "Hurry up we're leaving soon." I say as she walks out the door.

Minutes later she returns and quickly gets dressed. "Is this cute?" She asks wearing Jean shorts with a navy blue tank top. "Yeah. That color looks really good on you." I say. "Thanks." She smiles. I think she may have blushed a little but I don't know if that's the delusional in me or if that actually happened. No it's the delusional in me.

I need to stop whatever this is. I don't actually like her I just let Derek get into my head.

We eventually both grab our keys and head out the door. Hotch was picking us up with the rest of the crew.

"What happened to me calling shot gun!" I complain as I climb into the back of the car. "Too bad. I wanted it." Derek says. "Derek Morgan you're my biggest enemy."

We drive to Spencer's dorm and he hops in. "Guys this is Spencer. The child prodigy." I say. "Hi guys." He smiles. "What are you? 12?" Derek says. "Derek be nice." JJ says. See she's so caring. Stop it Emily.

"No im 17. I was 12 when I started highschool." "Oh so we've got our selves a smarty pants." He laughs. "I have a lot more personality too. If you bring me a chess board I can check mate you in 5 moves. Works at a great party trick." He smiles. "Yeah? What party's you've been to?" Elle says as she gets into the car. "None... yet." "We will change that!" I say.

"There's no room back here!" Elle complains. "Someone lap up." Hotch says. "JJ you're the smallest, sit on emily's lap." "What- Reid is the smallest!!" I argue. "Reid is a kid." Derek says. "Only for 4 more months!" Spencer says.

"Come on JJ you stripped emily and redressed her the other night don't be weird." Elle says. "Okay!" JJ says and sits down on my thighs, being more towards my knees then my body.

"Okay Prentiss!! W rizz." Derek says and I chuck my wallet at his forehead. "Must you always be so annoying." I groan. "What is he talking about?" JJ asks me. "He's just being derek don't listen to him." I say

JJ's POV

I look out the window during the most uncomfortable car ride of my life. I start to daydream and it brings me back to the dream I had last night. I had a dream that Emily and I were on a picnic together and we were so cuddly and touchy.... And at the end of it I kissed her. I searched it up and apparently it just means that I want to grow closer with her.

But I'm not going to deny the disappointment I felt when I read that, some part of me wanted it to say that it's some sort of foreshadowing. I'm not opposed to liking girls... in fact I've thought about it quite frequently for a while, but I never thought I would consider my roommate an interest. I don't even think I like her i just think my dream messed with my brain.

Earlier today she said blue looked good on me and I started blushing which she definitely noticed... it's all just so embarrassing and derek saying W rizz ? I know what that means but why would he say that.

"Aaron where are we going?" Elle says. "Bowling." "Gosh I suck at bowling." I complain. "How are you bad at bowling it's so easy?" Emily says. "I play soccer for a reason." I joke. "You won the national champs last year and you can't roll a ball?" "Do you want to fight Prentiss cause it's sounding like you do." I joke.

"No it's okay I'd rather enjoy your struggle to roll a 5 pound ball."  She giggles.  "Actually if you research on the bowling ball website bowling balls vary in a weight range beginning at 6 lbs for the kids up to 16 lbs as the maximum allowed weight." Spencer says. "Yeah dumbass, what Spence said." I smack emily lightly.

"Thanks for having my back Spencer." Emily fake rolls her eyes. Which I enjoyed a little too much.

I noticed derek eying emily through the mirror and he started laughing at something she mouthed towards him. Were they talking about me?

We pull up to the bowling alley and we meet Penelope who got her own ride there. "Pen!!" I say and give her a hug. "Hello my beautiful people!!! Let's get this bowl onnn." She says and we all laugh at her.

Emily and derek start walking in together and Derek was teasing her about something. "Pen." I walk next her. "What's up my Goldilocks?" She says. "I had a dream about emily last night and i don't know what jay means because now I'm looking at her a different way and it's almost like I'm attracted to her." I say.

"So maybe you're attracted to her?" She says in an obvious manner. "Bitch. Yes thank you Penelope. But the problem is like I'm not I feel like I'm just confused because of a dream and I'm doing the thing when I'm imagining being with a made up version of a person in my head and that person Isn't actually real." I ramble on.

"JJ calm down. If you like her that's fine. If you don't and it was just a dream, that's fine. No need to stress it okay?" She says. "You're right. Yeah you're right." I let out a deep breath
