[Barry]

It was Saturday, and everyone was calming down from their midterms.

Barry and Caitlin studied, as they had agreed to do. She also studied with Ronnie also, but mostly studied with Barry.

Iris had tried to wedge herself into the study group, which consisted of Felicity, Cisco, Patty, Barry and Caitlin. Felicity wanted to invite Oliver, the cute guy living across from her, but she didn't have enough courage to do so.

So, that Saturday morning, Barry headed over to the track to meet up the rest of team members who were about to practice. Coach Duncan saw him first, and smiled when he did.

"There he is. Everyone, this is Barry, your new teammate. Barry, meet the team."

There were 19 people on the team, 9 guys and 10 girls. With Barry, that made 20 people.

"He's going to watch the practice for today and then he'll be out there practicing with you guys. I hope you treat him with respect and embrace him with open arms. Now, let's get out there."

Coach Duncan blew the whistle and they all went out to the track and began to stretch. Barry could recognize Lola in the crowd as she stretched on the ground.

They divided into groups of 5 with the exception of the last group which consisted of only 4 of them. They all ran around the track and Coach Duncan would give them pointers about how to breath better while running, their stamina and their posture.

Barry took mental notes on everything, because Coach Duncan was giving Barry and opportunity to run on the track. Barry got into position and when Coach blew the whistle, Barry took off. Coach had to admit, Barry was actually pretty good at running. When he finished running around the track 4 times, Coach Duncan called him over as he dismissed the team to the locker rooms.

"You have some skill, Allen. You could be a good asset to this team. Lets go to my office and we'll talk about how to work track into your schedule."

Barry headed with Coach Duncan to his office and the two discussed Barry's schedule. Barry left after they were done and went back to the dorm to take a shower. When opened the door, he immediately took off his shirt and didn't realize there was someone else in the dorm.

Barry was startled by the girl on his bed who was staring at his abdomen

"Who are you?"

And as the girl opened her mouth to speak, Caitlin walked in.

[Caitlin]

"Natalie?"

Natalie stood up and went to hug Caitlin. "Caitlin!"

Caitlin hugged her back and sat her back down. She glanced at Barry, who she noticed was shirtless, and couldn't help but stare.

"Who's this, your boyfriend? He's hot."

Caitlin's eyes met Barry's, and she could tell he was confused.

"Barry, this is my sister Natalie Martin. Natalie, this is Barry."

Natalie went over to Barry and smiled at him. "Hi."

"Hi. I'm going to take a shower."

Barry got his clothes and headed to the bathroom, leaving Caitlin with Natalie.

"Natalie, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see my sister? Is that wrong?"

"Does mom know you're here?"

Natalie shook her head, which made Caitlin sigh.

"Natalie, you can't just come here without saying anything to anyone."

"Oh, but you can just go to college without so much as a goodbye? You can just not talk to mom after your dad left?"

"This isn't about me, Natalie. This is about you not thinking about how your actions have consequences."

"Then you should look into a mirror then because you have done the exact same thing. I don't even know what your problem even is. I'm not even fully your sister. I'm your half sister."

"Which means I can still partly tell that what you did is wrong."

"Are you mom now? For someone that hasn't spoken to their mom in a while you sure can act like her."

"I'm just trying to look out for you."

"Well, Caitlin, I don't need you to do that for me. I don't give a fuck about what you do. I've stopped caring a long time ago."

Barry came out of the bathroom fully clothed and glanced at the two, sensing that something had happened.

"Uh, do you guys need a minute alone? I can leave if you need me to."

"No. I already told Caitlin everything I had to say. Even though she doesn't want to accept it."

"Natalie-"

"I'm done with this conversation, okay?"

Barry went over and protectively stood next to Caitlin. "Hey, look, I don't know what's going on here, but I think you two should relax and maybe cool down a little?"

"And of course, everyone loves taking Caitlin's side."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"You know what, your dad should've just taken you when he left your mom."

Caitlin gasped and her heart shattered and Barry felt it. Natalie stormed out of the dorm as Barry pulled Caitlin closer to him.

"Cait."

"She's right. Why didn't he just take me with him?"

"Because it wasn't meant to be."

Caitlin turned to look at him as he continued.

"If you left with him, you could've had a different life. You would've never come here. You wouldn't have met Cisco, Felicity, Simone, Finn, Ronnie. You would've never met me."

Barry gazed into Caitlin's eyes as she intently gazed back at him, her hand grabbing his to hold.

"And I'm really glad I met you, Cait."
