𝗜𝗡 𝗪𝗛𝗜𝗖𝗛 ──── azaela   reid can't  help   falling   for   the   bad guys   despite   the   amount   of times   she's 
been   told   that   it isn't   good   for   her.

❛𝗢𝗣𝗣𝗢𝗦𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗦 𝗔𝗧𝗧𝗥𝗔𝗖𝗧❜ — a phrase that was used to describe two people that were very different from each other but ironically went well together. Words that were often used to describe 𝘼𝙯𝙖𝙚𝙡𝙖 𝙍𝙚𝙞𝙙 and 𝘼𝙡𝙚𝙭𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝙂𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙖𝙜𝙝𝙚𝙧.

     𝗔𝗭𝗔𝗘𝗟𝗔 𝗥𝗘𝗜𝗗 was the popular girl in school, loved by the faculty, staff and student of Quantico High school. She wasn't a popular cheerleader by any means, but she was popular because of her beautiful voice in music class that played the piano beautifully.

     𝗔𝗭𝗔𝗘𝗟𝗔 𝗪𝗔𝗦 known for getting good grades, never skipping class, always on time for school, and she was the daughter of FBI Agent, Dr. Spencer Reid.

𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫𝗔𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗚𝗔𝗟𝗟𝗔𝗚𝗛𝗘𝗥 was the complete opposite. He didn't get good grades, he was always skipping class, was never on time for school, and he didn't have a talented bone in his body — except for lying his way out of just about everything.

𝗔𝗟𝗘𝗫 𝗪𝗔𝗦 the popular boy in school, always seen with a blank look on his face and the attitude to match it all.

     𝗪𝗛𝗘𝗡 𝗧𝗛𝗘 two of them meet, it's purely on accident. After that, it seems that "fate" always has a way of getting the two of them together in some type of way.

     𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗥𝗬𝗢𝗡𝗘 𝗖𝗟𝗢𝗦𝗘 to her, especially the women on her dad's team, can tell that she's a lot happier than she normally is, and they begin to question why, until Alex ends up in an interrogation room after an elderly woman living in his neighborhood ends up murdered.
