A/N: Hey everyone! It's me again! I'm back with another fanfic to my "Criminal Minds" school series. I hope you're ready to read about our favorite B.A.U. team while they're in second grade! Here is the first chapter!

Disclaimer: I only own Alana Santos. All other characters are the property of CBS/Criminal Minds. I'm just borrowing them.

Summer vacation had ended and it was now time for everyone to return to school. Some were thrilled about it and others… well, not too much.

"Why do we have to come back to school so early," JJ whined. "Summer isn't even over, yet," she kicked her feet up and laid them on Spencer's desk.

Spencer lightly pushed JJ's feet off of his desk. "Well it'll be over in a couple of weeks," he said. "and I don't mind starting the school year, early. It just means I get to learn so much more," he smiled proudly.

"Calm yourself, Einstein Van Gogh," Emily scoffed. "What else do you got to learn? You probably know more than anyone in this whole school."

"Einstein Van Gogh wasn't a real person," Maeve began. "I think you mean Albert Ein…"

Emily held up her hand in front of Maeve's face. "Let me stop you right there," she said. "I don't care."

"Actually there's always something new for me to learn," said Spencer. "In fact, we can all probably learn something new. So if you think about it, we never…" suddenly he stopped when he saw four unfamiliar students he hadn't seen before. "Hey, who are they," he asked, pointing at the students.

The four unfamiliar students were sitting together at a group of desks when they heard David yelling at them. "Hey what are your names," he asked. They introduced themselves as Tara Lewis, Stephen Walker, Luke Alvez and Kate Quinsberg.

"Did you move here, this summer," asked Alex.

Emily slapped Alex on the back of the head. "Ouch," hissed Alex as she grabbed the back of her head. "What was that for?!"
"I can't believe you asked them that," Emily was trying her best not to smile. "Of course they didn't move here this summer. They were in our first grade class. Don't you remember?"

"I don't remember them being in our first grade class," said Alex. "Were you in our first grade class," she asked the four new students.

"No," the four students said in unison.

Alex glared at Emily. "Why do I always believe what you tell me," she asked.

Emily just shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know. Maybe it's because you don't want to hurt my feelings," she suggested.

"So what are your names," asked Stephen.

The rest of the children introduced themselves to the four new students.

"Now as I was saying earlier, before I interrupted myself," Spencer decided to finish what he was saying, just moments ago. "If you think about it, we never…"

"Good morning children," an unfamiliar voice interrupted Spencer.

The class turned to the front of the room and saw a small, petite Hispanic woman with dark eyes and dark hair pulled back into two French braids. She was wearing a below the knee yellow flower print dress and a pair of white flat shoes. And although small and petite, she was sporting a baby bump. Her hand rested on her stomach as she smiled at the children.

"Are you our teacher," asked Aaron.

"Yes I am," said the woman. "My name is Alana Santos, but you must call me Mrs. Santos."

JJ rolled her eyes. "Here we go again with not getting to call the teacher by their first name," she said.

"I'm sorry, sweetheart," said Alana. "but that's just how the rules are."

"Well if I'm going to call you what you want to be called, it's only fair that you call me what I want to be called," said JJ. "And that's JJ."

"Seems fair enough to me," Alana agreed. "Now how about we all introduce ourselves to each other?"

"Too late, we already did that, about five minutes before you walked in," said Emily.

"But I don't know any of you," said Alana. "And I'd really like to know who each of you are."

"Well, it's not our fault that you ate three spicy burritos for breakfast this morning and spent two and a half hours in the bathroom when you got to school," said Emily.

Alana's face turned a shade of red. "I can't believe she just embarrassed me like that," she thought to herself. A small laugh escaped from her mouth. "Well since you all already know each other, I'm just gonna do roll call and then tell you all a little bit about myself. Okay," she asked.

"Yep," the class said in unison.

After Alana did the roll call, she began telling the class about herself. "My name is Alana Santos. I was born in Mexico, but I moved to America when I was three years old, with my parents, along with my two older brothers and two older sisters. My hobbies include, camping, arts and crafts, reading and baking. My husband and I have been married for five years now and we are expecting our first child together" she smiled as she placed her hand on her stomach. "Do any of you have any questions you'd like to ask me?"

Spencer raised his hand. "I have a question," he said. "Did you always want to be a teacher when you grew up?"

Alana thought about the question for a moment. "Actually no," she admitted. "I remember when I was about four years old, I wanted to be a ballerina when I grew up. It wasn't until I got into high school when I realized I really wanted to be a teacher instead."

Elle then raised her hand. "Can I ask a question, please," she asked.

"Of course, sweetheart," said Alana.

"Do you like being a teacher," asked Elle.

Alana smiled. "I love it," she said. "I just love being able to work with children and teaching them new things. It's very fun. Are there any more questions," she asked.

"Yep, I have a question," Emily announced. "Conoces alguna palabra en espanol," she asked while speaking Spanish.

"Si, conozco muchas palabras en espanol," Alana proudly said.

Kate was quietly listening to Emily and Alana speak to each other in a foreign language, when she felt a tap on her shoulder. "AHHHH," she screamed as she nearly jumped out of her chair. All eyes were now on her and the person who scared her.

"Jeeze, I only wanted to ask you a question," said JJ. "No need to freak out about it."

"JJ, you need to get back to you desk," Alana kindly said. "Whatever you need to ask, you can ask me."

JJ scowled at Alana. "No offense, but I just met you and I don't feel comfortable saying anything to you," she said. "You need to prove that I can trust you."

"But you also met me today too," said Kate. "And you're already talking to me."

JJ rolled her eyes in annoyance. "Yeah, I met you like five minutes ago," she said. "which was like a long time ago. So you and I are like N.B.F.W.L.M.F.M.A."

Kate along with everyone else in that room, gave JJ a questionable look. "What does N.B.F.W…." Kate began to ask. "That last thing you said, with all the letters, what does that mean?"

"You mean N.B.F.W.L.M.F.M.A.," asked JJ. "It means we're new best friends who like met five minutes ago. I can't believe you didn't know that," she looked at Kate in amazement.

"Actually no one knew that," Elle rudely said. "I'm pretty sure you just made that up."

JJ glared at Elle. "And I'm pretty sure you're not a part of this conversation," she said.

"That's enough," Alana intervened. "JJ, you may ask Kate a question."

JJ leaned closer to Kate. Their faces were just mere inches from each other. "Do you know what Emily and Mrs. Santos were saying to each other," she whispered.

"No," Kate whispered back.

JJ backed away from Kate. She appeared to be thinking for moment. Suddenly she sighed and looked at Alana. "What were you and Emily saying to each other," she asked.

Alana smiled. "Emily asked me if I knew any Spanish words," she explained. "and I told her that I knew many."

"Oh, okay. That's what I thought," said JJ. She skipped back to her desk and sat down.

Later that day, during recess, Kate had been sitting alone on the swings, when she saw JJ, Emily, Will and Aaron walk by. She stood and cautiously approached the group. "Excuse me," she politely asked as her four classmates turned to her. "do you really think of me as your friend," she asked JJ.

"Mmhm," JJ answered. "You wanna play tag with us?"

Kate smiled. "Sure," she said.

End of chapter one. Seeing how we never knew what Kate's last name was before she got married, I decided to just make one up. Anyway, I'd really like to know what you thought of this chapter. So please leave me some reviews. I'd really appreciate it! Chapter two will be posted as soon as possible.
