Hey guys (crouches behind couch) long time no see… I'm so sorry! I lost insperation, and then I lost my laptop (you have no idea how hard it is to type on an iPod touch. My kind friend let me borrow her laptop so I could write a chapter for A Fresh New Start. Read the bottom not… it has to do with the next chapter

Mark's POV

I have a plan and it will have to work! I'm going to go to the office and tell them that I need Grey's… little Grey's number for a project we're doing. They won't be able to say no to the charming Mark.

When I walk into the office no one was there so I rung the bell.

"Hi there sorry you had to wait for awhile." He is not Mrs. Rell. Mrs. Rell is not a man!

"I'm Sean; I'm Mrs. Rell's replacement while she has hip surgery. Is there something I can help you with?" Is that a little sweetness I hear in his voice? Am I willing to act a litlle 'warm' to get this girl's number? Yes I am.

"Hi Sean; I'm Mark. I was wondering if you could give me a number for a girl named Lexie Grey." I give him a smile.

"I can't give out student information, sorry." He gives me a sheepish smile.

"Oh, that's okay. She was going to give me this guys number but…" He was harder to crack then I thought.

"Well since I can't give you that number here's mine." Oh shit, I reluctantly let him take my hand a write his number on my hand, in freakin Sharpie!

And it would just be my luck for Little Grey to walk in through the door. When she saw me her eyes grew big and it looked like she wanted to go back to the Hallway.

Sean looked up, "Is there something I can do for you?"

"I'm just in here to buy a drink while my parents have a meeting with my teachers about my future." Lexie say as she walks to the machine.

"Alright," Sean faces me again, "You can call me anytime." With that he went back to his office.

I leave the room and wait for Lexie to come outside. She probally thought I was gay, that's a reason why not to date a guy.

"Hi Mark," Her voice breaks my concertration.

"Hey, I'm not gay!" Well, that wasn't the brightest thing to say.

"It's okay if you are, I have no problem if you are." She says hastily.

"I was trying to get your number from the office but apperntly the old secetary is having surgery. My charming got a little out of hand I know, but I didn't know that he would actually give me his number." This was not looking so good for me.

"Why'd you want my number?" Why wouldn't I want her number? She was pretty; a she was smart, that's like the total package.

"Some of my friends are having a little party and I thought you might like to come." The way she looked at me kind of made think that she wasn't invited to parties so much.

"Oh that's really nice of you-"

"Lexie who are you talking to?" A woman was walking down the hallway with a man by her side.

"Mom, this is Mark he's in some of my classes. He just invited me to a party with some of hid friends." Shit, the parents didn't look so thrilled.

I stuck out my hand and tried to act like a scholar, "Hello my name is Marcus Sloan, and it is nice to meet you Mrs. and Mr. Grey."

The parents looked a little taken back.

"My friends and I are having a little get together at Joe's Coffee Club. We invited some new students to join us, we're just going to talk about classes and what we have plan for this year." I say, that was partly true.

"That sounds lovely Thatcher, doesn't it? As long as she's back by 11:30 it's fine." Wow, her mom talked real fast.

"It starts around nine; I can pick you up if you need to." I say to Lexie, I'm not so sure if she has a license.

"No it's okay I can drive. See you later Mark" She gives me a small smile and begins to walk away with her parents.

Victory! How awesome am I. Now the only problem is that I need to talk to Addison. I hadn't really thought about that yet though.

I was going to have to talk to her the party started though, or was that stupid? Is it really worth throwing away a long term relationship for a girl I had just met? Well our relationship was becoming more a friendship thing. I mean, we were acting just like we did when we were best friends. We didn't even make out anymore! That was definite problem.

I loved Addison, I really did. But I think I love her more as a sister that I did as a girlfriend. I hope she will understand. It doesn't do either of us any good to be in a relationship that doesn't have any prospects. Does it?

Maybe this will be best for both of us.

I've decided to chapters for each main character in the story. I think I'm going to do Teddy's chapter next I'm like in love with her character. Reviews are nice NO FLAMES! See you soon (promise) ~ Caitlyn
