Bella
I've always hated mornings. Ever since I was a little girl. But this one? This one made me want to call in sick. It's been a week and we're still on the same case. We've had no progress and nothing seems to be in our favor. My bed feels extra comfy right now, but that's probably because I fell asleep at 4am. Despite the dozens of excuses that run through my head, I throw my sheets off and sit up while rubbing my eyes.

Man, I'll need at least three cups of coffee to get through this damn day.

I quickly throw on a white blouse and some cargo jeans with black leather boots. Not real leather though, my head can't stand the thought of any animal that was once alive, now dead just because it's "fashion". I quickly drag a comb through my hair, but I can't be bothered to put on make up.

This'll just have to do.

Downstairs, I put on some coffee. If I just drink one cup here, and then drink one at the office, I'll get through this without anyone asking stupid questions. Anyone being the arrogant, but genius Spencer Reid... Mostly arrogant.

As I walk inside, I can't help but notice the bags under my eyes in the glass window in front of me. Shit. That'll probably raise some questions. Maybe I should've set my alarm for earlier.

It's your own damn fault, Bella.

"Good morning sunshine!" Is the first thing I hear when I sit at my desk. I don't even need to look up to know who said it. There's only one person who is this exhilarated every morning.
"Morning, Penelope", I answer, while giving her my biggest, brightest smile. She studies me, and I try to look occupied with the case file I found on my desk, but to no avail. "You look like you haven't slept in years Bells, what's going on?" I look up from the case file: "it's probably just because I didn't have time to put on makeup this morning, Garcia. Really, I'm totally fine, see?" I pull some funny faces in the hope that she'll drop this conversation, and she bursts out into laughter. "You're so weird, but I'm here for it!" With that she walks away to her office, or what she calls it: her "cave".

I pick up the case file again and start walking to the kitchen, in serious need of some caffeine, not looking up while reading through it for the third time today. Reid isn't the only one who can read 20.000 words per minute. As that thought roams through my head, I suddenly feel myself bump into something- no, someone...

"Don't you have eyes, Bella?"

That damn voice. I hate that voice. I look up at him with a challenging glare.
"I'm sorry, unlike you I actually came into work at the agreed time and read through the case file twice already. I was busy reading it the third time when your ignorant ass ran into me, Reid."

I wanna smack that smugness off his face. God, I'm so not in the fucking mood to deal with him today. The things I would do if it meant I didn't have to see- "it's ass, not ass, Bella. You'd think living in America for a decade would get rid of that astonishing British accent of yours." His face immediately shows how proud he is to come up with such a brilliant insult. My voice is abnormally low when I throw back the words roaming through my head.
"I'll get rid of your astonishing ball-"

Before I can finish my sentence, JJ walks by, telling us to gather in the conference room. "My astonishing what now?" I've never seen him smirk so proudly.

Asshole

I roll my eyes while walking away, his chuckle echoing through the hallway as he follows me. As I sit down, I realize that in all the chaos, I forgot to grab coffee.

Fucking Spencer Reid ruins my day once again.
