Ellis and Caroline looked up to see Mark and Dere moving across the cafeteria towards them. Caroline had just bitten into her chicken wrap as they reached them. Before they even had a chance to speak Ellis got in first. "Are one of you the reason Meredith was late?" she asked.

Derek shook his head while Mark looked down guiltily.

"She tripped through the door." Mark told her.

Ellis shook her head not knowing what to say or think.

"Mom" Mark said as he looked at her. "Do you know all the interns?" he asked.

Ellis shook her head. "Some but no, not all." she replied.

"So you dont know the guy that just took Merediths seat." he asked.

Ellis looked over and then shook her head. "Looks familiar, but no." she replied.

Mark groaned, he had truly hoped that she did.

ls.............ls...........ls............ls...........

Merediths phone beeped as she looked over Katie Bryces chart. The young girl was still nattering on about the beauty pageant he wa missing. Truth was, this kid was completely driving her bonkers.

Meredith fought the urge to pull out ehr phone, which was a lucky thing because as she closed up the chart the girl parents came running in.

"We're Katies parents, are you her doctor?" they asked.

Both parents stopped there and took in the sight of the young Doctor.

Meredith was frozen, doing the same.

Meredith was the first to snap out of it. "I'm a doctor, but im not her doctor." Meredith murmured as she put her chart down.

The couple remained quiet for a moment before opening their mouths again. "Can you please go get them then?" the mother asked curtly.

Meredith nodded, glad that they hadnt made a scene. She left the room in search of Bailey and on her way, she opens her phone to see the text message was from Grace.

HOPE YOU DAY IS GOING WELL
HOPE'S WORST ENEMY IS NO LONGER IN BEAUTY COMP
LMAO, LOVE KARMA, LOVE YOU

Meredith shakes her head as she makes her way up the stairs, putting her phone back in her pocket. Things had definitely gotten clearer about the person who was her first patient.
