A Day Without Rain

Long Hard Look

Meredith got there quickly because there was no traffic at all at this time of the day so she parked her car and got in the elevator and went straight to the Principal's office.

His name was Richard Webber, but for her, he was more than just a boss. Her mother, Ellis Grey, who was also a teacher, used to date that man when she was younger and her father left them. They hadn't seen each other since Richard left her mother when she was 5, so it'd be quite a reunion.

She was nervous, but also very excited about the whole thing, so without concern she knocked on the door of his office.

"Richard Webber? Hi, I'm Meredith Grey, the Literature teacher. We spoke on the phone and you asked me to stop by."

"Hello Meredith. Come on in and take a sit." He said looking deeply into her eyes, remembering about when she was little.
She sat in a chair in front of his desk, heard all he had to say about her routine and he gave her the keys to her locker.

Meredith got them, opened it to left the material she wouldn't need and had a little fight it the keys trying to lock the locker.

Richard saw that she was having problems and decided to give her a hand but then saw that the other new teacher had just arrived so he had to greet him.

Webber's secretary pointed to Derek where he was supposed to go but his eyes instantly met Meredith's. There was an intense, a long hard look between them. He was about to ask her if she needed help but the principal called for him so he walked into his office.

There were still 15 more minutes until the classes start so she decided to sit and check her phone.
She saw some messages from Cristina, her ex-co worker and best friend and some from Phillip but decided to ignore them because she didn't want to get upset and stressed.

While she was texting Cristina, who was worried about her and the very first day in a different school, a man, who was apparently lost approached her. She didn't look at him at first because she was still texting but when she did she saw him again, it was the man from the locker and she admitted that he was quite attractive but continued ignoring it and got up trying to catch the elevator to go downstairs because classes were about to start.

She didn't know but that man was the new Mathematics teacher and was actually very lost.

As she ran to catch the elevator, the doors were already closing so she would have to wait.
Derek looked at that scene and gave a laugh because she was pretty cute and seemed lost too.

She was furious because she didn't get into the elevator so looked back trying to see what she could do. When she did that Derek was still looking at her so their eyes met again.

The doors opened and she pretended that none of that had just happened and went straight to her classroom.
