Sixteen year old Lexie Grey smiled as her and her family pulled up the drive to there new home away from home. Lexie, along with her older sister Meredith and there parents, Susan and Thatcher Grey were going to be spending the next month in Seattle Washington. Thatcher was the owner of a mechanics shop and he was opening up a new one in Seattle. Because the girls were both on summer vacation they decided to make it a family vacation and go along with Thatcher for the next month.
Lexie was very excited to come to Seattle. Every since she was ten and decided that she wanted to become a surgeon, she new that she wanted to work at Seattle Grace Hospital. It was one of the number one teaching hospitals in the country and it had extraordinary programs. She hoped that this summer would help her one step forward into getting a job there once she graduated medical school.
"The house is huge." Meredith said to know one in particular as they climbed out of the back seat of the family SUV. Meredith was going to be attending Harvard's Medical School in the fall, as she too wanted to become a surgeon.
Both Lexie and Meredith were complete opposites. The two were both smart, achieving greatly academically, however Lexie was slightly smarter, she some how gained a photographic memory and skipped the third grade, at the age of 16 she was already going to become a senior. Meredith was the type of girl who loved to party and have fun, she didn't have many friends in school but the ones that she did have were very close with her. Christina Yang was her best friend and she too was attending Harvard. Lexie was more quiet she was fairly popular. She had many friends and she top of her class. Her best friend was Izzy Stevens.
"Both you girls will have to share the upstairs." Susan Grey said with a smile as her and Thatcher began to unload the car.
The house was a fairly large log cabin. It had a wrap around porch and when they walked inside it was completely furnished, it looked just like a hunters dream. The ceilings were vaulted and when you walked inside you were already standing in the dining room, the kitchen was to your left and directly in front of you was the living room along with a loft overlooking the downstairs.
"This is big." Thatcher said as he came up behind the girls with there suitcases. "Me and your moms room is down that hall." He told them as he pointed to the only hall in the house.
"It looks very homey." Susan said as she stepped in the house. "Why don't you girls go check out the upstairs?"
Both girls looked at each other before they began running up the stairs. "I call the bed by the wall!" Meredith yelled as she tried to shove past Lexie.
"There might not even be one by the wall!" Lexie yelled back as she made it up there first.
Once they made it up there both girls stopped dead in there tracks. "Woah." Meredith said with her mouth open wide.
"This room is huge." Lexie replied.
The room was very spacious with two full sized beds made out of logs each placed directly in front of very large windows. There was a trunk at the feet of each beds and then there were two large closets on the left wall. On the right wall was two dressers and then instead of a fourth wall there was railing that looked over the lower half of the house and along that railing was a desk. Two the right of one of the dressers was a door that the girls assumed was the bathroom.
"Lets check out the bathroom." Meredith said as she walked over to the door and opened it up. "Holy shit."
"What is it?" Lexie asked as she came up behind her sister.
"This bathroom is huge." Meredith said as the two walked inside. There was a Jacuzzi tub along with a shower and double sink.
"I call first dibs at a bath!" Lexie said with a smile. This house was way better then there house in Boston.
"Girls how do you like the house?" Susan yelled from down stairs.
"Can we move here please?" Meredith said with a laugh as the girls made there way down stairs.
"In two months you will be living in a dorm at Harvard. You don't want to have to move your stuff twice." Thatcher said with a laugh as they all sat down on the couch.
"If it means living in this house then who cares!"
Both parents shook there heads with a laugh. "Come on lets unpack the car and then go get grocery's I feel the need to cook a very large breakfast coming up!" Susan said clapping her hands and walking out to the car.
Lexie couldn't help but smile and think of what a wonderful summer this was going to be.
