AN: Thank you for the kind reviews! So this chapter is a bit longer, hope you enjoy it :)


"I'm Izzie Stevens, I just moved here from Washington state. And you are?" Izzie asked. She stretched her arm for him to shake her hand but Alex didn't take it.

She dropped her hand and looked at the ground. Well wasn't this going well. Making friends already, great job Izzie.

"I'm Alex Karev, follow me, biology is this way" Alex said without making further eye contact with Izzie. He made big steps and Izzie took a little sprint to keep up with him.

When they finally reached the right classroom Alex stepped aside so she could reach the door. Izzie turned to him. "Thank you Alex, very kind of you to show me the way." she said. She smiled at him but he didn't return it. "Whatever, no problem, later Blondie." And with that being said he turned around and walked away.

Izzie looked at the door again. She nervously knocked on the blue wood. Her hand was shaking. She slowly opened the door and shuffled inside.

24 pairs of eyes were focused on her. Izzie blushed. "Hi, I'm Izzie Stevens. I'm new, I just moved here from Washington state" she stuttered. She handed a paper to the tall man standing infront of the blackboard. "So you're the new girl. Isobel Stevens" he read. Izzie nodded. "My name is Mr Webber. Go grab a seat at the back so we can continue our lesson."

Izzie still felt uncomfortable. She felt that people were looking at her, she didn't like that feeling. Placing her books on the table she looked around the classroom. Mr Webber had continued his lesson and people weren't playing attention to her anymore. She sighed with relief.

Mr Webber explained the functions of all veins and arteries in the heart. Izzie was fascinated. She wrote everything Mr Webber was saying down. Biology was her favorite subject, and she was very good at it too. She wondered if there was an advanced Biology class, her grades had always been good. She noticed no one else was taking notes, except the boy sitting at the table next to her. "Hey" Izzie whispered. She leaned closer towards his table. The boy looked up, unsure if she was talking to him. "Yes I ment you. Do you know if there is an advanced biology class here?" The boy nodded. "Yes there is, it's after school at 4PM" he whispered back. "Great, Thank you. I am Izzie by the way" she said realizing he probably already knew that. The boy smirked "I'm George."

Alex was slouching through the hallways, only a few feet away from the English class room. He had a bad feeling about this. He carefully opened the door. "Alex Karev! Don't we knock anymore these days? And where have you been it's 08.25 AM for goodness sake!" Mrs Bailey put down her chalk and crossed her arms. The look on her face was everything but friendly and Alex knew he was in trouble. "With all due respect ma'am, I was on time, but I ran into this new girl and she needed me to show her the way to biology" Alex said with a calm tone in his voice. "New girl? And that took you 10 minutes? Is that the only thing you did with the new girl Karev? Seems to me you and the new girl had a little fun before she went to biology class." The class chuckled. Alex was shocked. "No no no, it wasn't anything like that I just brought her to her lesson." "This reaction tells me differently Karev" Mrs Bailey said. The class started lauging. "SHUT UP!" Alex snapped. "Mrs Bailey I didn't do anything I swear, please don't send me to detention, I'll miss advanced biology again" Alex begged. "ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MIND? How dare you raise your tone like that, I am the teacher and YOU are the student! Detention! For the whole week." "No Mrs Bailey please, I'm sorry, I didn't mean you I men-" "Shut you mouth and sit down before I make it for a whole month" Mrs Bailey pointed at a seat at the back.

Alex sighed. His whole body was filled with anger. He didn't deserve this. He could've only been a few minutes late if it was for that girl he helped. "Hey Alex, did ya girl taste good?" Charles Percy asked making kissing noises. "Shut you face Charles, the only lips you'll ever taste, are your mom's." Alex shot back. "Oooh oooh" Jackson Avery yelped.

Mrs Bailey turned around from the blackboard. "Mr Avery, you have something you'd like to share with the rest of the class?" "No no ma'am, please continue." "Hm" she said while raising her eyebrows and she continued writing. The girls at the front started giggling. Alex rolled his eyes. Every girl in school had a crush on Jackson, Captain of the school football team and Vice President of the Student Counsel.

Alex didn't like him at all, but then again he really didn't like anyone at school. He didn't have any friends and none of the girls found him attractive. Except for this one girl, Lucy Fields. She had had a crush on Alex for months. Sent him letters, stuck notes on his locker and even sent him a bouquet of roses for Valentinesday. When Alex had made it very clear that he didn't want anything to do with her she left him alone and he hadn't heard from her ever since.


When all the morning lessons had finished it was finally lunch break. Well done Izzie you survived the first half of your first school day. Her stomach growled, time for lunch. Izzie grabbed a tray of the pile. She decided to take a ham and cheese sandwich a diet coke and an apple.

She realized she'd have to spend her first lunch break alone. Izzie looked around the cafeteria to find a place to sit. She didn't see a free spot. Maybe outside, she thought. She picked up her bag and made her way outside.

Damn it, all the tables outside are taken too. The grass? I could sit on my jacket. Walking over to the grass she spotted the boy that had helped her this morning sitting at a table, Alex. He was all alone. She wondered if he was waiting for his friends or if he spend all his lunch breaks alone. He didn't look like he wanted company though. Still unsure of what she should do she walked over to him.

"Hey Al-" but before Izzie could finish she got interrupted. "Izzie! Hey I thought I'd join you for lunch so you wouldn't have to sit all alone." Izzie looked to her left, it was George. He carried a tray with a large plate of spaghetti, a can of Fanta and a chocolate pudding. He had the biggest smile on his face.

"Oh, hi Alex. Ar- are you guys friends?" George asked with a small voice, he sounded a little nervous. "Well-" Izzie began. "No we're not" Alex said, and he popped a grape in his mouth.

Izzie looked down at her tray, she felt embarrassed. "And what do you want O'Malley?" Alex asked while popping another grape in his mouth. "Finally got a girl to talk to you?" "No, I just wanted to be nice, because I know what it's like to feel left out." George said, with a louder voice this time. He still didn't make eye contact with Alex. Alex grinned. "Well, she's all yours man, enjoy." he picked up his fork and continued eating his lasagna.

Izzie felt uncomfortable and embarrassed at the same time. Maybe Alex was more of an alone person. Or maybe he just really didn't like her.

Izzie followed George to a table at the end of the court. "Sorry about that. I don't know why he responded like that." she said. "It's okay, I'm used to it. Alex Karev, he's a nice guy but, he has had problems" said George. "What kind of problems?" Izzie asked curiously. "I'm not sure. He's a great mystery to everyone. He did wrestling, was really good, won medals for the school and stuff. But they had to kick him off the team, due to bad behavior. He kept coming late for class and got sent to the principals office every now and then. I think it was because he got in fights quite often, he has a temper. You should watch out for this guy, he knows how to punch" George finished. And he took a big bite of his spaghetti.

Izzie was some how amazed by this story. She looked at Alex. He was reading a book while taking a sip of his soda. She wondered what book. George was right, there was something mysterious about Alex Karev. And Izzie was determined to find out what.


AN: It may seem like Alex is harsh but you'll just have to trust me. Just like on the show he can be an ass but we still love him, right? Also I'll be bringing in more Greys characters and we'll see more of Alex and Izzie's home situations. So let me know what you think, feedback is always welcome :)
