Chapter Two
Monday Lexie, Molly and Susan would fly in, Meredith was excited to see everyone. They wouldn't all be in the same room again until Thanksgiving. She went to the airport before Christina could wake up to get them, she was so happy to see her sister. It had only been a few days but they had gotten into the habit of waking up in the same room again. She pulled into a spot near their terminal and slowly walked inside knowing that she was already thirty minutes early. But she wanted to be there when they got in to surprise them. While Meredith was going through security she looked on the flight list and saw that the flight from Seattle was early, she ran to the gate just in time as they had just landed. Meredith waited patiently for the passengers to get off the plane when she saw a familiar petite brunette with green eyes. "Mer!" The young girl yelled as she ran into Meredith's arms and embraced her. "I missed you Lex" she held her younger sister tightly and only let go when she saw her step mom and other sister come out of the gate. The slightly younger looking blonde ran over to join the group."Meredith!" Susan said as she walked over to the girls. She then pulled Meredith in for a hug. They all grabbed the bags and the few boxes Lexie had brought and loaded them into Meredith's SUV. "How is the campus?" Susan inquired as they drove to the hotel Susan and Molly were staying at. "It's nice, there's a lot to do, and it's in a big city so you aren't limited to a small area" when they got to the hotel the girls rented a movie and got some breakfast from room service since no one had eaten due to the early flight. Everyone except Meredith took a shower in the nice hotel bathroom while the others ate their breakfast. After that Meredith went by her mothers house to pick up the boxes Lexie had shipped to her while she was there. After that they drove to the freshman dorms while singing songs on the radio all the way. Moving into Lexie's room was easier with the help of four. She was in a room with three other girls, Izzie, April and Reed. They seemed like older versions of Molly. Susan started tearing up just as she had when Meredith went to Dartmouth last year, they all said their goodbyes and Susan and Molly left. Meredith stayed another moment to reassure Lexie that she would be fine. She told her to come by the next mornings and they would have a girls day, they used to have them when Meredith first came to live with Thatcher. They would go for a run, get coffee, go get manicures and pedicures, shop then go to the movies and to dinner. It was a birthday or bad day tradition in the Grey household.
The next morning Meredith put on a pair of shorts and a tank top, Christina had gone to get coffee and wouldn't be back until late. Meredith grabbed her drawstring bag and walked out of her room, while she was locking the door she heard a voice behind her "damn" she whirled around to see a hot guy staring at her ass. "Are you checking out my ass?" She said smirking at him. "Maybe I was, maybe I wasn't" he replied smirking back. "Well me and my hot ass are going out running" she walked away smiling at the interaction with the hot guy across the hall. When Meredith got to Lexie's building she was waiting outside on a bench with her matching drawstring from volleyball in high school. She replayed the scene in the hallway earlier as the two girls jogged around the campus. When they got to the coffee house they took a table near the entrance, "what's on your mind?" Lexie asked after taking a sip of her cappuccino. "Huh, oh nothing" Meredith said in response not wanting her sister to know about her neighbor. "Just spill" there was no way around this Meredith thought to herself. She told Lexie about the guy and how she was flirting with him. The sisters talked until they had finished their coffee, then they ran back to the dorms and went to the salon. Lexie got a lavender French manicure while Meredith got a navy on four fingers and silver on the thumb. After that they drove to the campus story and got some books and stuff to go in the dorms. Then they drove into one of the malls in the city and got some new jeans and shirts. Meredith had gotten this navy turtle neck sweater with a white vest and a pair of grey pants from J. Crew. Lexie got a navy polka dot dress and a grey cardigan. The girls left the story happy with their purchases. They went to Meredith's room since it was closer to pick what movie they wanted to see. They both agreed on "Why Him?" Lexie didn't want to change out of her long jeans and pink and black striped shirt but Meredith put on a white lace tank top with a jean jacket at black jeans. The movie was starting in a half hour so the girls walked out of the room again giggling when she saw the guy coming up the stairs on the other side of the building. She rushed Lexie into the stairwell and they peeked out the door, Meredith decided to play it cool and pretend she forgot her phone. She walked out of the stairs and over to her door the same time the guy got to his door. "You're ass looks better in this that you're shorts" he said swiftly before he entered his room leaving her speechless. She went into her room for a minute then exited and meet Lexie in the stairwell. "How did it go?" She asked as they walked down the stairs a huge grin on Meredith's face. "Good, he said my ass looks better in this than my shorts" she continued smiling as they got out of the car at the theater. They ordered a medium popcorn, a large soda to split and a pack of twizzlers. Meredith dropped Lexie off after the movie and waved goodbye as she drove off to her dorm. Christina was watching a horror movie so she stayed up and the two talked about how stupid people in horror movies are, then they laughed about it when the people died. Meredith slept easily that night thinking about how her day had gone and what a great life she had.
