"Dad, I don't feel like going to school today, I'm not feeling well."

"Zola, honey I'm a doctor and I think I can see if I you're not feeling well."

"Please Dad, I really don't want to go." Zola begged to her father as he put her backpack on the kitchen table.

"Yeesh, Zola you're a straight A student at the top of your class, you know what, I don't have time for this I'm already late for work. Take this up with your mother. Okay? Bailey! Are you ready? I'm driving you to school today."

"Yah dad I'm coming!" said 10 year-old Bailey as he ran down the stairs.

"Derek where are my keys?" said a very panicky Meredith. "Ah she looks so beautiful when she's in a hurry." Derek thought. "They're on the counter love. Now come give me a kiss we've got to go."

"We never get any alone time together anymore" sighed Mer as she kissed Derek on the lips.

"Hey talk to Zola okay she seems to be having some problems with school okay?" said Derek as he started to scoot Bailey out the door.

"Ah probably just teenager problems. She's the smartest in her class she probably doesn't have many friends, maybe just Sofia. I'll talk to her though. I'll see you at Grey Sloan at about 9 Honey," said Meredith.

And with that her lovely husband and son were gone in Derek's Lexus heading to Bailey's school, then most likely a Starbucks, then straight to Grey Sloan for a complicated surgery.

"Alright Zozo let's go"

"Mom I told you to stop calling me that." Said a very frustrated Zola eating a bagel.

"Well just be happy I'm not calling you that at school in front of everybody. Come on or were going to be late."

"That's what I want to happen" said Zola as she walked out the door heading towards the family's Ford Escape.

As Meredith locked the door she thought to herself, "what happened to my little Zozo?"

"Sofia hurry up or you will have to skip breakfast you can't be late again, your mother keeps getting mad at me." Callie said as she sipped from her morning cup of coffee.

"Coming mom! Can you pour me a bowl of cereal?"

"What kind?"

"Lucky Charms duh Mom!"

"Okay okay Lucky Charms" Callie snorted back sarcastically as she took out a bowl. " So your going to get a ride from Meredith and Zola and they will drop you off at piano okay Sofia?"

"Okay, and you know my violin teacher Tianna? She said I'm progressing really well and I could maybe move up a level. She wants to discuss it with you and Mom if you have the time."

"Of course we have the time Sofia why would you think that?"

"Oh nothing it's just you guys are really busy so I don't want you to have to waste your time on my violin teacher, like I could just talk to her myself." Sofia said with a bit of edge in her voice.

"No, no Arizona and I will talk to your violin teacher and your piano teacher and ALL of your teachers. What else do you do? Sofia we love you so much and we always have time for you okay? Now put a sweater on cause there is absolutely no way you are going out in public dressed like that."

"Thanks mom I love you guys too" said Sofia as she went to her mother for a hug.

"Now come on my musical maestro because seriously we cannot be late for school" said Callie as she gave Sofia a sweater. It was from the dirty laundry pile but she didn't tell her daughter that.

"I want to hear everything about your lessons okay? I pay for them anyways." As Callie started the car she saw Sofia applying even more makeup than usual. "Miha you are beautiful stop covering up yourself" she told her in the most sincere way."

"I know mom it's just I don't really know, it's nothing really" mumbled Sofia as she looked down at her purple Converse sneakers.

"Okay honey, you know you can tell me anything right? We're here for you." Callie had a look on her face like she knew her daughter was hiding something from her.

"Yes Mom, are you going to be late today? Who is going to pick me up from piano?"

"Arizona dear, she has a surgery today but she will be done by the time you are."

"Okay Mom thanks I'll see you later." Sofia said as she jumped out of the car.

As Sofia entered Barington High School she saw Zola at her locker talking with Owen and Cristina's daughter, Taylor who was a year younger than Zola And Sofia and in the eighth grade.

"Hey Sofia look its your crush Christian Zanders. Why don't you go talk to him" Taylor teased.

"Shut up Taylor go to class" said Sofia but Sofia knew exactly what she was going to do. "I'm going to impress Christian Zanders" Sofia said to herself as she applied probably the fourth layer of lip gloss this morning, as Zola shot her a disappointing look.

"What he's cute okay?" Sofia smiled as she opened her locker.
