High School Never Ends

The Appointment

Meredith hardly paid any attention in school. She was called about it in class only twice. None of her friends noticed she and Derek were quiet the entire lunch. Meredith and Cristina went to the bathroom, because Cristina wanted to talk with her without Izzie suspecting. Meredith lied and said the test was negative to Cristina. Even if she was her best friend she really only could trust Derek with this information. It was the end of the day in gym class and everyone was in this class. They were starting a new unit on volleyball. While listening to Mr. Write go over instructions they sat on the ground near the back and held hands.

Meredith and Derek were both to lost in thought to focus on the volleyball game. Which didn't go unnoticed by their teacher who wasn't to happy and had a talk with them. He pulled them aside and everyone noticed.

"Is there a reason neither of you are paying attention?" He gave them a stern look. Even though he was known for being the nice teacher he could get mad.

"We just have something to after school Mr. Write." Derek told the teacher without looking him in the eye. He seemed ashamed to have to admit he may have knocked his girlfriend up.

"Is that true Meredith? You two have somewhere to go." He asked getting curious they usually told him where they were going. They just both had notes to leave thirty minutes early. Derek had called the day before saying he couldn't make football practice and he found out today Meredith had done the same with cheerleading practice.

"Yes it is really important." She also looked scared, guilty, ashamed, and embarrassed. He guessed from her looking at her face.

"So where are you going."

"Just an appoint at the dentist. I promised her mom I would take her. She is going to have to be put to sleep. Her tooth in the back is getting pulled." Derek's lie was not a good one, but it kept Mr. Write from asking anymore questions.

They made it out of school in record time. The drive to the doctor's office was quiet except for the Clash playing softly on the radio.

"Great lie by the way I am having a tooth pulled and we were both not concentrated because of it." She is scared and is taking it out on Derek. He doesn't care he just wants to be supportive.

"Well what should I have told him."

"That I have a doctor's appointment."

"He is smarter than you think. He might put two and two together. Both of us looking guilty and scared. Not paying attention. He is a health teacher kids probably come to him with this all the time. My lie saved us from the truth for awhile even if the truth is you're not pregnant."

"I hope. I guess it was good you lied then. But I don't like liars though."

They arrived at the doctor's office five minutes early. There was no traffic so now they had to wait again.

Meredith went to check in. "Hi I am here for my appointment."

"Name please" the receptionist asked.

"Meredith Grey." She said quietly so no one else could here who might be there from school.

"Thank you. The doctor will see you in about five minutes."

Meredith went over and sat next to Derek, who was pretending to read Automotive Weekly but had Pregnancy hidden underneath it. She smiled at how concerned he was.

"Do you want me to come in with you?" He asked and she smiled.

"Yeah if you want. They might make you leave for some parts but I want you there." Derek took hold of her hand and squeezed it.
