Chapter Fifteen

   "Oh my sugarcanes! What happened to your beautiful face?" Garcia was the first to greet you at the elevator.
"I'm fine," You laugh, not wanting any attention at the moment.
"No, you're not. If I would have known about the second guy, I would have helped you somehow," Garcia said as she came up and put her arm around you.
"We don't have a case at the moment, so every should go home and get some sleep. I'll keep you all posted. YN has graduation later today so she won't be available," Aaron told the team as everyone nodded.
"Let's go and try to cover that eye up the best we can ok?" Penelope started to drag you to (what she called) her lair.
"My roommate already has-"
"Is it really that bad?" You turned to your right and were surprised to see Gracie standing with a bag full of makeup.
"What are you doing here, Gracie?" You saw that she was wearing a visitor badge at six thirty in the morning.
"I couldn't sleep anyways. Come, Penelope will help us," Gracie sounded more chirpier than ever.
"Ok, ok," you caved in.
"You can come with us, JJ," Penelope offered.
"I should probably get some sleep. I'll catch up later," JJ gave a brief nod as she started making her way out. The rest of the team had scattered already besides Reid who was still at his desk.
"I didn't realize how big this place is, like wow," Gracie started talking her head off and Penelope was loving every moment of it. Girl on girl time.
"I want to know how you and Gracie became roommates. The full story, no skipping around," Penelope said as she sat you down in a chair and started doing her magic with the makeup brush.

2:53pm
"I need caffeine. I haven't slept for almost a day and half," you say looking at your watch, waiting in the graduation line.
"You can sleep after we celebrate," Gracie said from a couple of peoples behind you.
"Of course, of course," you say, covering your eye up with your hair the best you could. You had to admit, Garcia did work some magic with that makeup. The eye was still noticeable, but not as bad as before.
The line of your fellow classmates was finally making progress as you were able to sit down. You impatiently watched as the last of the class sat down as well. You distracting yourself by playing with the tassel that was on your honor cord during the whole class speech to keep yourself from crying. You were definitely going to miss college. College had created some great memories for you. Some that you would cherish forever. As your name was called on the stage, you were surprised and slightly embarrassed when you heard the team cheering you on from the audience even though there was announcement made at the beginning saying to keep the cheering to the end.
The ceremony lasted until five and you finally caught up with Gracie through the crowd.
"All done with education!" Gracie said excitedly as she hugged you.
"Thank God, no more waking up and going to classes," you say as you saw the team make their way to you and Gracie.
"It looks like your colleagues made it," Gracie said.
"Is this the famous BAU team I keep hearing about?" You turn around to see your mother.
"Mom?" You were surprised to see her. The two of you didn't get along the greatest.
"Oh, don't sound so surprised to see me, dear," your mother smiled ever so sweetly at you.
