Meredith's Pov
It was the first day of school. My mom literally could not care less. This morning, I woke up extra early so I had time to take a longer-than-usual shower. When I finished, I fixed myself some cereal and I sat in the living room while eating it. I picked out a black hoodie and a plain pair of jeans to wear. By the time the bus came, I was completely ready to go. As I walked on the bus, I got some glares. I find a boy with black hair nose-deep in his backpack. I ask to sit by him and he says yes. He moves his backpack and I sit down.
"Hi." I say.
"Hey." He says, continuing to rummage through his backpack.
"What are you looking for?"
"A very important piece of paper."
"What makes it so important?"
"It has my girlfriends phone number on it." He says, stopping to look at me. "Woah."
"What?" I ask, confused why he said woah.
"Sorry, you're just really pretty."
"Oh.... thanks." Nobody has ever called me pretty before. As soon as mystery-boy was about to start another conversation, the bus stopped in front of the school.
"Hey, I never got your name." I say.
"Derek, yours?"
"Meredith."
"Pretty name for a pretty girl." He winks at me and walks off of the bus.

I'm walking down the hallway. I don't see anyone that looks like they would want to be my friend. Maybe I'll just tell them Ellis Grey is my mother, then they'll talk to me. At my old school, people really only got close to me for my mother. But as I'm walking, I see a boy. He looks like he's nice, so I walk up to him.
"Hi, I'm Meredith."
"George. I feel like I've seen you before."
"Well I definitely haven't seen you."
Since it's my first day at this new school, I don't know where to go. So I pull out my schedule from my pocket and look at it.
1st Period- World History
2nd Period- ;Ap Biology
3rd Period- Language Arts
4th Period- Study hall
5th Period- Lunch
6th Period- Ap Psychology
7th Period- Foreign Language
8th Period- Ap Calculus
"Hey, George do you know where World History is? It's my first period."
"Oh! That's my first period, too. I'll walk you there."

As we walk in, I see Derek. He's talking to a red-headed girl, I assume that's the girlfriend he was talking about on the bus. I'm trying to get to a seat in the middle row when I accidentally bumped into her. She gives me a mean look but doesn't say anything. I find a seat next to a tall blonde girl and a girl with black hair. The blonde looks over to me.
"Hi!" She seems like she has a lot of energy.
"Hey, there. I'm Meredith, how are you?"
"Good. I'm Isobel, and my friends call me Izzie and that's Cristina." She points to the black-haired girl. Cristina waves and turns back to the board.

Mr. Bennet, the world history teacher, came into the room. As he called attendance, I learned the red-headed girls name. Addison. I have a bad feeling about her. I don't know what it is, maybe it's the fact she's so tall, pretty, and intimidating.

The first half of the day went by fast, and the second went by even faster. I was walking down the hall, on the way to the bathroom when I saw Derek writing something on a piece of paper. He's using a wall for stability. I walk up to him.
"Hi, Derek, right?" I said that like I didn't know his name but I did. I was also astonished on how attractive he was.
"Hey, Meredith. What's up?"
"Nothing, what are you writing?"
"Signing up for football. Beginning of the year tryouts."
"Oh, that seems fun. Are all clubs doing beginning of the year tryouts?"
"Yeah. Art club, tennis, basketball, soccer, swim team."
"Oh, cool. See you later." I give him a slight smile before walking into the bathroom. When I came out, I saw Addison washing her hands. As I'm washing my hands, she turns to me.
"I'm Addison."
"Oh, I'm Meredith. Nice to meet you."
"Right back at ya."
She dries her hands and walks out of the bathroom. She seems nice.

Derek's Pov
I met this really cute girl today. But I can't be attracted to her because I have a girlfriend. Even though she cheated, I was willing to stay with her and try to work things out. The cute girl I met, seemed nice. Her name is Meredith. She seems nice and smart. I like that in a girl. She came up to me after school asking about the school clubs. She also seems like the type Mark would date. Mark is my best friend, or was, before he slept with Addison. We are still friends, just not as close as we used to be.

Izzie's Pov
This first school morning went by unusually fast. I met a girl who reminded me a lot of Cristina. She had the same dark and twisty vibe. Her name is Meredith. After class, I helped her get to her second period, considering my class was right across from it.

Meredith's Pov
As I got on the bus, I saw Derek and Addison sitting next to each other. Addison was talking to Derek but he didn't seem interested. I found George and decided to sit my him.
"Hey, George." I say.
"Oh! Hi Meredith. How are you?"
"Good. You?"
"Great."
I find him observing my face. I'm curious as to what he is doing.
"Why are looking at me like that?"
He blushes and turns away. "Sorry, I just think you're really pretty. Are you sure we haven't met before?"
"Positive. If I met you, I would've remembered."
He chuckles. "So, Meredith, what's your story? How'd you get here, in Seattle?"
"Well, my mom is a surgeon, so she wanted to move somewhere with a strong medical program, that's how she got interested in Seattle Grace. She wanted someplace close to home, but far enough so I wasn't in her way. And I'm originally from Boston."
"Oh. Nice."
The bus screeched to a halt. A couple of people got off, and I realized that it was my stop.
"Bye, George. See you tomorrow."
"Goodbye, Meredith."

I got off of the bus and steadily walked up to my house. When I walked in, it was quieter than usual. My mom was at work, like usual. Just gives her another reason to stay away from me. I don't really mind being alone. I've gotten used to it, actually. At my middle school, I got bullied a lot for my weight. They called me "the pencil" and said I was too skinny to be pretty. I ignored them and acted like I was fine, but it hurt. I didn't want to be known as the "black sheep" of the school. I was about to get in the shower when the doorbell rang. When I opened it, no one was there. People around the neighborhood heard that Ellis grey was my mother, so sometimes they would send things like scrubs or scalpels to my front door. On Halloween, people would egg my house. Then people ask why I'm so closed off and sad.

I eventually settled down upstairs and took a shower and studied.
