Penelope and Derek walked down the hallway of the empty school it was early Monday morning and Penelope needed to visit the computer lab before anyone else arrived. "Baby girl did you really need to drag me here?" Derek yawned as they walked into the lab.

"I need to stop that file from going through Derek!" The colourful blonde groaned.

"What files mama?"

"Spencer's transfer papers to Caltech!" Garcia yelled login onto a computer. Those were definitely not the words Derek was ready to hear.

"Spencer's what?"

"He got early admission into Caltech for January and we can't let him go! He needs to graduate with all of us, even if he and goldilocks are no longer talking they will both be devastated if he leaves."

"How do you know all this?" Derek asked astonished.

Penelope smirked up at her friend. "I snoop through your emails."

Derek just shook his head and looked back at the computer screen. "There is the file, open it." The computer genius opened the file and began to read it over.

"I'm sorry, but I am unable to except your offer for early admissions I hope this does not deny me the chance to one day attend your amazing school but now is not the best time for me to make my way to California." Pen read out loud.
"He's not leaving us?" She questioned out loud.

Derek couldn't help but smile. "He wants to spend a bit more time with us."

Penelope huffed logging out of the computer. "I wanted to be a super hero." She pouted.

"You are my superhero, got that?" Derek asked before leaning down to kiss her gently on the lips.

"And you are my sidekick, I can't wait to see you in spandex tights." She laughed before kissing him again.

JJ and Spencer stumbled into English class that morning trying their best to avoid each other. Spencer took a new spot in the back of the class while JJ took her usual seat up front. As the bell rang Dr. Blake entered her first period English class. "Good morning everyone I hope you had a good weekend because today we are continuing Romeo and Juliet before your in class essay tomorrow." She walked up to the front placing her coffee and purse on the desk then taking a pile of Shakespeare books off the shelf and handing them out. "Okay, Jennifer you will read for Juliet. And...." Her eyes searched the room looking for a student to read the part of Romeo, she couldn't help but notice Spencer Reid sliding down in the seat avoiding eyes contact. "Spencer you can read Romeo."

He let out a loud sigh before opening the book to the last page the class had read.
"He jests at scars that never felt a wound
But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid since she is envious.
Her vestal livery is but sick and green,
And none but fools do wear it. Cast it off!
It is my lady. Oh, it is my love.
Oh, that she knew she were!
She speaks, yet she says nothing. What of that?
Her eye discourses. I will answer it.-
I am too bold. 'Tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven,
Having some business, do entreat her eyes
To twinkle in their spheres till they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head?
The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars
As daylight doth a lamp. Her eye in heaven
Would through the airy region stream so bright
That birds would sing and think it were not night.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand.
Oh, that I were a glove upon that hand
That I might touch that cheek!"

"Ay me." JJ read.

"She speaks.
O, speak again, bright angel! For thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head,
As is a wingèd messenger of heaven
Unto the white, upturnèd, wondering eyes
Of mortals that fall back to gaze on him
When he bestrides the lazy-puffing clouds
And sails upon the bosom of the air." Spencer read back.

"O Romeo, Romeo! Wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name.
Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I'll no longer be a Capulet."

The class ended and everyone stood to leave but Dr. Blake stopped JJ and Spencer before they could run out. "That was great today guys, I can't wait to see what you two come up with for your project." JJ and Spencer both froze... They had forgotten about their midterm assignment... Which they agreed to work together on.

Hi! So this is sorta a filler until more drama adds up and you guessed it the project will definitely start some drama! I'm glad you guys are enjoying it and I hope to update more this weekend. And on another note I know most grade twelve English classes read Hamlet and you read Romeo and Juliet in grade ten but I need this Shakespeare classic as well as I've practically memorized this book and I know it way better than Hamlet so yeah!
