I just love her. Period. I basically just introduced the "DOOMED" pairing in this chapter haha. happy reading! and please review! commentslove.

Chapter 04: Fitting In

"Alright. Revelations. Great. Can I take my seat now?" the Asian girl said, pushing Addison out of the way. Meredith snapped from her shocked trance as the girl walked up to her.

"You're Meredith Grey." she said. Meredith just nodded weakly. Callie walked up next to her.

"As in the West Coast's MVP Athlete of the Year, right?" Meredith looked up to see that the two girls has taken Addison and Derek's place. The two Seniors moved to the corner of the room and was arguing softly.

"As in the Greyslam? I read that in the Sports Weekly. How do you do that?" Meredith gaped at one of the boys who was staring at her earlier. He was really… cute.

"Uh… it's just a kick," she responded. The small crowd laughed.

"Just a kick? That kick won you the Soccer International in Italy last year! And you're my year!" the tall blonde chirped.

"You heard that from me." the Asian girl argued, then turned back to Meredith.

"I'm the co-captain of our school's soccer team. Are you planning to try out?"

"As the other co-captain, I strongly urge you to join," Callie added. They both stared at her.

"Uh…" Meredith looked back and forth at the two girls.

"What is this? Terrorizing the new girl already, gang?" Meredith turned to see and older African American man enter the classroom, briefcase and coffee in each hand. He was smirking at the crowd around Meredith.

"Dr. Webber, we have a Soccer star in our classroom!" George exclaimed. Dr. Webber walked up to the teacher's desk in the front of the room.

"Who, Yang and Torres? We've known that for a while, and Yang never lets us forget that," he joked, making the Asian girl smile. Addison and Derek were still in the corner, arguing. Derek was now doing angry hand motions.

"Shepherd, Montgomery, you better take your seats. All of you. We have an important announcement." Dr. Webber told the class of 9. It was one of the smallest Homeroom classes, which was the only class that was handpicked by the Headmaster. Derek made his way back to Meredith, but stopped when Cristina pulled up the seat next to her. Cristina and Derek stared each other down. Defeated, Derek took the seat in front of her. Meredith refused to make any eye contact. I can't believe I flirted with my fake sister's boyfriend,she thought, putting her head down.

"First of all, I'd like to formally introduce a new student, Meredith Grey. Meredith, introduce yourself?" Dr. Webber asked. Meredith sighed and stood up. Dr. Webber motioned her to move to the front of the room. What is this, Freshman year? Meredith slowly walked up to the front of the room. She noticed George and smiled weakly at him. He gave her a reassuring smile.

"Georgie's got a new girlfriend," Alex snickered, making Izzie glare at him and Mark laugh. George crumpled up a piece of paper and threw it at Alex.

"Hey guys… I'm Meredith Grey. I moved her from Seattle to live with my mother, Ellis Grey---"

"As in Ellis Grey, 'The Grey Method'!" the Asian girl said.

"Yang." Dr. Webber scolded. Meredith giggled.

"Uh… yeah, that. She's getting married in December to um… William Montgomery---" she sneaked a look at Addison, who smiled softly at her.

"I'm a Junior. And um…. I play soccer. Hopefully I get to try out this year. And… that's it… hey." Meredith finished.

"Any questions for Ms. Grey?" Dr. Webber asked. Meredith looked at him, horrified. A couple of hands shot up.

"Uh. You." Meredith said, pointing at the Asian girl.

"Its Cristina. Is it true that you made that Italian girl from last year's Soccer International cry?" she asked. The students laughed.

"Actually, yes. She's a sore loser," Meredith answered. She looked at Derek, whose hand was raised.

"Derek." he looked at her, surprised that she picked him.

"Do you like New York?" he asked. Meredith searched his face. He looked pained, and… sad.

"Um.. I did. I met a couple of cool people, I'm still adjusting though. I'm just hoping to get through today." she turned to Dr. Webber.

"Just one more." Meredith picked the handsome boy from earlier.

"You're hot. Do you have a boyfriend?" he asked. Meredith blushed as the class roared with laughter.

"Sloane!" Dr. Webber glared at the boy, who just shrugged.

"Uh… no. I don't. But, thanks for asking," she said. He winked at her.

"Like that ever stopped you," Alex commented. Meredith nodded at Dr. Webber, then sat back down.

"Lunch?" Cristina asked as Meredith sat back down on her seat. She locked eyes with Derek.

"Yeah." Meredith answered as her iPhone vibrated. It was a message from Addison.

ADDIE: hey. dnt wry im not mad. well tlk l8er.

Addison turned around and smiled at her. Then, Addison looked at Derek, who was still looking at Meredith. Addison turned back and sighed. Dr. Webber stood up and cleared his throat.

"The Educational Board has decided to try something new with the Homerooms this year. It's a new system. And you guys are not gonna be happy with it. But… deal with it, because… the Board feels that there is a separation between the Upperclassmen. And as the Headmaster, I believe that there should not be any division between you all. You guys are the leaders of this campus. And you are also the role models. I do not want any division on my role models. And as I have a group of Juniors and Seniors, it is my responsibility to start this new… program." Dr. Webber explained. He sighed as all the students in the room looked at him, confused.

"It's… The Buddy System." The class roared with laughter once more. Dr. Webber's face did not change.

"God, you're serious." Derek said after a moment. Dr. Webber took out a piece of paper.

"Now, stand up and when I call out your names, you will partner up, and you will be assigned to your new seats for the year." he said.

"We haven't been on seating arrangements since Freshman year!" Mark complained as he stood up next to Alex and George.

"Suck it up, Sloane. You know you wanna get into one of those Juniors' pants," Callie stated. Mark locked his gaze on Meredith, who was now shaking hands with Izzie.

"That one in particular." he said. Callie rolled her eyes.

"I thought she's Shepherd's target." she said, as she glanced at Addison staring at Derek, who was leaning against the wall, staring at Meredith.

"Wouldn't be the first time you guys targeted the same girl," Alex snickered.

"Alright. Lemme see here…. Burke… who is still at Red Cross Camp, but will be joining us in a few short days, will be with Yang." Alex whistled and Cristina gave him the death glare.

"Montgomery and O'Malley." Izzie poked George continuously and Meredith giggled at George's expression. He was in between the look of fear and dread.

"Shepherd and Stevens." Izzie smiled brightly and Cristina grimaced. Addison sighed in relief. Derek locked eyes with Meredith.

"Stop having eyesex. His girlfriend is around, who happens to be your stepsister." Cristina whispered to Meredith. Meredith looked down.

"Sloane and Grey." Izzie gasped and gaped at Meredith. Alex and Callie laughed, while Derek shot daggers at Mark. Mark just smirked at Derek.

"And Torres and Karev." Dr. Webber said before folding the paper back up and putting it in his drawer. Callie and Alex looked at each other and shrugged.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"Hey, George."

"Hi, Addison." All the new partners' first assignment was to get to know each other and write a report about each other's family history.

"So… how are your brothers?"

"They're okay. Jerry's at Mechanic school and Ronnie's at a car convention." George answered. George glanced at Izzie, who gave him a thumbs up sign.

"God, I haven't seen Ronnie since we hooked up at Spring Break my Freshman year…" Addison giggled. George's eyes widened.

"Weren't you dating Derek?" he asked. Addison scowled.

"We weren't exclusive." George stared at Addison.

"Okay."

"Derek and I love each other. We just… hit a snag in our relationship." Addison said confidently.

"He seems to really like Meredith. Can't you just… let him go?" George questioned her. Addison glanced at Derek, who was clearly ignoring Izzie and staring at Meredith, who was giggling at something Mark was saying.

"It's none of your business." Addison muttered.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"So Derek. Your sisters, Kathleen---Dr. Shepherd, Katherine, Nancy and Sarah, how are they doing?" Izzie asked, writing some stuff down in her agenda. Derek took his gaze away from Meredith and Mark.

"Does he like her? He's been making her laugh for the past 15 minutes." Derek said, not even looking at Izzie. Izzie scoffed.

"Meredith's just being nice. Ask me something."

"She is nice. She's great. She's smart. She's… I've never met a girl like her." Derek gushed without noticing. Izzie smirked.

"You love her." Derek finally looked at his "buddy".

"What? Are you crazy?!" he exclaimed.

"No. Just observing." she smiled. Then, she cleared her throat.

"If you're interested in someone else, you gotta tell Addison. You gotta figure out what you want Shepherd. There's nothing worse for a girl than thinking you have a chance when you really don't." Izzie explained. Derek nodded.

"I gotta tell Addie." Derek said.

"You gotta tell Addie." Derek glanced at Meredith and Mark.

"…before someone else comes along." Izzie and Derek said simultaneously.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"So did you do him yet?" Callie's eyes widened at Alex Karev's first question.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Callie demanded, her face flushed.

"O'Malley. You're dating him right? Baby boy needs to get laid. After what Olivia did to him Sophomore year, he needs to get laid." Alex said, laughing at the memory of George's old girlfriend, Olivia, who gave him syphilis in the Sophomore year. Of course, no one knew about it because it was just between George, Alex, Izzie and Cristina. Despite what Gossip Girl says, the friends, who met in the local park sandbox when they were 2 are extremely close.

"Olivia? The red head? What did she do to him?" Callie asked, now curious.

"Nothing. So, answer my question."

"No, I did not 'do' him. He's just a friend." Callie said, glancing at George, who still looked very uncomfortable as he answered Addison's question.

"Whatever, Torres. I'm just saying, O'Malley needs to get laid. And you better hurry up…" Alex smirked and pointed to Meredith and Mark.

"That hot Seattle girl is the new Addison."

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"Stop." Meredith said, giggling.

"No, really. What's your sign?" Mark asked. He has been pestering Meredith in the last 15 minutes about questions that didn't have anything to do with her family history.

"Ask about my dad. My step mom. My half sisters. Not what my favorite flower or my sign is!" Meredith said.

"Fine. One more." Mark said, sitting up.

"What?"

"What are you doing Saturday night?" Meredith's smile faded.

"Uh…" Mark frowned and looked at Derek.

"Derek's a good guy. I should know. I've been his best friend since Pre-School." Meredith looked at Mark, surprised.

"Really? It doesn't seem like it." Mark took a deep breath.

"Last year, at Spring Break, he went to Harvard for a meeting with some college recruiters… and Addison and I went to Yale to check out the campus… Addison and I slept together there. I had to tell him. Derek didn't talk to us for the rest of the year. He's still not talking to me, but he took Addison back. I don't know what she told him. But, he still hates me." Mark told her. Meredith was shocked.

"Wow. Uh… Mark, I'm sorry." Meredith said. There was a slight pause as Meredith searched for the right words after the revelation and a moment for Mark to think about what he just said to the new girl.

"Why'd you do it?" It was Mark's turn to be surprised.

"Well, I…."

"He was under the influence of pot," Cristina answered for him, pulling up a seat next to Meredith. Mark rolled his eyes.

"Ah. My stalker ex-girlfriend." Cristina snorted.

"Whatever, Pothead. Mark's been smoking up since forever. He used to be really nice and cool. That's why we dated Freshman year. And then Karev gave him some pot, and now he's boring." Cristina explained. Meredith bit back a laugh at Cristina's own revelation and Mark's reaction.

"So… are you gonna go out with him or not?" Cristina asked.

"You guys are a little too forward." Meredith muttered. Mark grinned at her.

"It's all part of our charm."

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"Meredith…" Derek started to say as the class started to depart the classroom. Meredith looked at Addison, then at Derek.

"I've gotta look for my French class, Derek." Meredith said, turning away and running after Izzie, who was going the same way. Addison walked up to Derek.

"We gotta talk." she said. Derek sighed, then nodded. They found an empty hallway at the end of the building.

"Addison." Derek said, sitting on the floor. Addison remained standing.

"Do you like her? Meredith?" she asked. Derek just stared straight ahead.

"Maybe we shouldn't… continue this. Maybe… maybe I need Meredith. She's… change, I need a change, and Meredith's different." Derek said. Addison's eyes started to well up with tears.

"She's my sister. I've never had one. And… if you like her, she can't be my sister anymore." Derek glared at her.

"So you're saying I can't go out with her?!"

"No. You can't go out with her, because I'm still your girlfriend!"

"You slept with Mark." Addison let the tears fall.

"I'm sorry. You don't know how sorry I am, Derek! I'm trying to change. Derek…" Addison took his hand in hers.

"We've been together since kindergarten. That's a long time. We can't just throw all those years away because you're starting to feel something for another girl."

"There's a reason for me to throw all that history away, Addie. Mark was my brother. I have four sisters and a dead father. Mark was my brother. And… you did that. I can't… I can't even look at you and see you guys together." Derek started to leave.

"But… We're Addison and Derek. We can get through this." Addison pleaded. Derek looked at her tear stained face and shook his head.

"We're not Addison and Derek anymore." Derek replied.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"Hey." Meredith said, clutching her yogurt and turkey sandwich in one hand and her iPhone on the other.

"Hey, Mer!" Izzie exclaimed, moving over so Meredith could sit down. Meredith, Cristina and Izzie were sitting along the steps of the Met, eating lunch.

"Is this where you guys go for lunch all the time?" Meredith asked, taking a bite of her sandwich.

"Yup. Ever since we started Freshman year. It's a much cooler hang out than the Dining Hall." Izzie said, handing Meredith a chocolate chip muffin.

"Oh, you mean, the Harry Potter looking dining hall? Yeah, this is much better… this is really good muffin!" Meredith said, making Izzie laugh and Cristina roll her eyes.

"Izzie's a master baker. She can't cook for shit, but she can bake like no one's business." Cristina said, skimming through the newest issue of Sports Weekly. Izzie glared at her.

"I can cook!" Izzie argued.
"So Grey. Are you gonna try out or what? I really want to beat out Boston Prep this year. They always keep us from New England Champs." Cristina conversed. Meredith gulped.

"I don't know, I wanna try something new. I have Drama this year, so maybe I can do a play or something, instead of soccer." Meredith lied. What was she saying? Soccer was her life.

"Whatever. You're trying out. If you don't, Izzie and I won't talk to you again, ever." Izzie started to say something, but stopped when Cristina gave her a death glare.

"Fine. I'll try out." Meredith gave in. Izzie and Cristina smiled in triumph.

"Hey guys." George said, sitting next to Meredith. Meredith handed him a muffin, and he started to gobble instantly.

"George, Mer's trying out for the soccer team!" Izzie said excitedly.

"That's great!" George said, spitting out some muffin pieces from his mouth. Meredith giggled as Izzie's face contorted in anger.

"George! These are my new Jimmy Choos!" Izzie whined, grabbing some napkins and hastily wiping her shoes. George gulped.

"Sorry, Iz. So. I hear Montgomery and Shepherd broke up during 1st period." George gossiped. Meredith snapped her head to look at him.

"What?" she and Izzie said at the same time.
"Yup. I was in the classroom next to where they were talking. It's good that you sit in the back sometimes." George said, making Izzie and Cristina laugh.

"Are you serious?" Meredith asked. There goes her new sister.

"That's good right, Mer? You and Derek can start dating, and then you'll get married and have this awesome wedding and we'll be your bridesmaids…." Izzie babbled.

"Whoa there, Iz. I can't go out with Derek. He's… Addison's ex. Sisters don't do that, right?" Meredith said. Izzie shrugged, George continued to eat and Cristina rolled her eyes.

"Just do it. Addison's not even your real sister."

"Thanks for that."

"Hello children." Alex said, walking up to them and hitting George on the head.

"What the hell?!" George exclaimed spitting some food at Alex.

"Dude. There's chocolate all over your face, man." Alex said as Izzie handed him some napkins. He grinned at Meredith.

"Hi. I'm Alex." he said. Meredith smiled at him.

"Izzie's doing him." Cristina said, making Meredith giggle. Alex glared at Cristina.

"Thanks Yang. So what're you guys whining about now?" he asked, pushing Meredith away so he could sit by Izzie.

"Meredith wants to do Derek Shepherd, but she's scared her fake sister might murder her in her sleep." Cristina answered. Alex scoffed.

"Meredith, as your friend, I don't think you should date him. Addison is a fixture in this town, dude. If you piss her off, she won't let you live it down." he said.

"Thanks, guys. For all your help." Meredith said, frowning.

"No problem. We're your friends." Cristina said, giving her a genuine smile.

"It's nice to have friends," Meredith said. Alex put his arms around Meredith and Izzie.

"Let's do something tonight. Just us. And Baby Boy, I guess." George glared at him.

"Dinner and a movie?" Izzie asked.

"Nah. How about we all go to my suite at the Plaza and have sex?" Alex said. Meredith shook out of Alex's arm at his suggestion.

"How about we all play a nice game at Central Park, then go out to dinner. Then we'll hang out at someone's place." George said.

"Not yours. Remember the last time? We had to witness Ronnie and Jerry's fart contest. God, I wanted to kill myself." Izzie complained.

"Someone's place besides mine." George added.

"Oh yeah. Let me just tell some people." Alex replied, pulling out his Sprint PPC-6700.

"Who are you texting?" Meredith asked him, gathering her stuff as the next class was about to start.

"Uh, Sloane, Torres and Shepherd. They're the other big athletes. They'd love to kick some Grey ass." he joked.

"Don't tell Derek!" Meredith said, trying to take his phone away. Too fast. Alex chuckled and put his phone back in his school bag.

"Too late, soccer star. You're gonna have to roll around the grass with Shepherd today." Meredith groaned. This is gonna be a long day.

"Hello, Ms. Meredith." the Montgomery Mansion maid, Elena said as Meredith entered the kitchen.

"Good afternoon, Elena. Is my mom home?" she asked, opening the refrigerator.

"She's in the study, Ms. Meredith. Did you need something?" Elena questioned her as Meredith searched through the huge ice box.

"Um… do we have any orange juice?" Meredith bit her lip. There were tons of expensive meats, alcohol and desserts, but no orange juice.

"We make the juice, here, Ms. Meredith. Would you like a smoothie instead? I just dropped off a glass of strawberry banana smoothie in Ms. Addison's bedroom 5 minutes ago. There's some more left, if you want some." Meredith closed the door.

"Addie's here?" Elena nodded.

"Um.. Just drop it off in my room too Elena… I'm just gonna say hi to my Mom." Elena nodded again. Meredith smiled and ran up to the study.

"Hey, Mommy." Meredith said, entering the huge study in the Mansion's East Wing. Ellis didn't look up from her medical journal. Ellis was still wearing her lab coat, obviously just arriving from the hospital.

"Hello, sweetheart." Ellis said. Meredith sat on the seat across from her.

"I had a good first day. Addie was great about showing me around and stuff." Meredith lied. After the mishap in Homeroom, they never saw each other, as Meredith was being shown around by Cristina and Izzie and Addison was crying in the restroom. Ellis still kept writing in her medical journal. Meredith bit her lip. Why did she move here again?

"Mom. If you want me to stay here, things have to change, with us." Meredith said sternly. Ellis finally looked up. She sighed.

"Not now, Meredith. This surgery's really important." Meredith's eyebrows furrowed in anger. She stood up from her seat and started to walk away. Then, she turned around.

"Every surgery's important!" Ellis scowled.

"Not now. Go up to your room."

"Whatever. I'm going to Central Park with some friends. Don't wait up." she said. She slammed the door as hard as she could. She was planning to go straight to her room and get ready for soccer, but stopped when she passed by Addison's room. She knocked on the cream colored wooden door.

"Come in," she heard Addison say.

"Hi." Meredith greeted cautiously, entering the room. Addison nodded in acknowledgment. She was too busy going through bags that littered her queen-sized bed.

"Wow. That's a bunch of stuff." Meredith said.

"Bergdorf's. I shop when I'm upset." Addison replied. She took out a black Gucci minidress and threw it on the side. Meredith took the seat by her dresser.

"So, listen…" Meredith started to say, but was interrupted when Addison turned around. Her usual bright face was now sad looking and depressed.

"I'm okay with it. You and Derek. I mean, I'm not. Yet. But I will be. He didn't cheat on me. We were broken up anyway.. Sort of. I mean, he really wasn't as into this be kind, rewind theory that I had. He really likes you, so… go ahead. I just need some time." Addison smiled weakly and stared at Meredith, waiting for a reply. Meredith cleared her throat.

"I lied." Addison looked confused at her answer, not expecting that at all.

"I really don't like my sister, Lexie." Addison sat on the bed.

"Why?"

"Umm… I told you that Finn and I broke up because he had to go to school…. But we broke up even before he left." Meredith tried to hide the fresh tears coming out from the corner of her eyes.

"Why did you guys break up?" Addison asked, picking up her smoothie glass and drinking it.

"My… 14th birthday dinner. Finn was there, so was my dad, step mom, some friends, Molly and Lexie. I… caught Finn making out with Lexie in the bathroom." Meredith said softly. Addison gaped at her.

"She's a year younger, but it's still bad, she was still in the 8th grade. It turns out Finn and Lexie was having a thing for 4 months before I found out. I was disgusted, angry and betrayed. That's why Lexie and I were never right after. I just couldn't trust her anymore. I don't think I ever will." Addison stood up and gave Meredith a hug. They embraced as Meredith cried.

"I'm sorry, Addie. I didn't know." Meredith whispered. Addison grabbed a Kleenex from her top left drawer.

"I know you didn't know. It's not your fault. He doesn't love me anymore. He likes you." she said. Meredith shook her head.

"I can't go out with him. I won't. I can't bear to think that I'll do the same thing that Lexie did to me, and I'll hate myself forever." Meredith said.

"You seem to really like him, Mer." Addison told her. Meredith looked at her step sister. Although Addison looked very sad, she really seemed sure.

"Yeah. Well, my guilt overrides my feelings in this situation." Meredith said, getting up.

"What are you doing tonight? Cristina Yang and a bunch of us are gonna go to Central Park to play some soccer. Wanna… watch?" Meredith asked. Addison giggled.

"No, that's okay. Savvy and I are gonna go have drinks at the Plaza to celebrate my new single status." she said. Meredith smiled sadly.

"You're a very desirable girl. Any guy would be lucky to have you." Meredith assured her. Addison smiled. A very Addison smile.

"Thanks, Mer." Meredith opened the door and started to walk out, but Addison stopped her.

"Mer. Think about it. Perhaps that guilt will dissolve when you find real love. Derek's the kind of guy any girl would find real love with. He's…" Addison thought of a word to describe her ex-boyfriend.

"McDreamy." Meredith finished for her. They both laughed out loud at Meredith's answer.

"Think about it, sis." Addison said. Meredith nodded, then closed the door. She leaned against it for a moment. Could Addison be right? Can she fall in love with someone like Derek?

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

"Hey, Grey, over here!" Meredith ran up to Alex and George, who was doing a warm-up before the game in the middle of Central Park. Cristina, Izzie and Callie were on the other side of the field, probably strategizing.

"Hey guys." Meredith said, catching the ball that Alex threw her using her head and hands.

"Nice." Mark Sloan said, walking up to Alex. He was clutching something in his leather jacket pocket.

"Later?" Alex asked him.

"You bet." Mark answered, winking at Meredith. She looked at him, confused.

"Grey, are you coming here to help strategize or what?!" Callie shouted. Giggling, Meredith waved goodbye to the boys and ran to her new friends. As soon as Meredith caught up to them, they did a small huddle.

"Okay. We are almost-state-champions. We can beat the crap out of 4 Lacrosse boys…"

Callie said.

"4 Lacrosse National Champs boys… for 3 straight years!" Izzie exclaimed. Cristina hit her upside the head.

"Whatever. Still. Soccer isn't their sport, and we've got Grey here, so we're ready. Just kick ass, alright?" Callie asked her team. The girls cheered before running out onto the field to meet up with the boys. Derek joined them, who was busy texting on his Nokia N95 cell phone. He looked very frustrated.

"Shepherd. You look like you're gonna murder your phone." Cristina told him. Derek shut his phone closed and threw it on his pants pocket, which was lying on the grass away from their playing field. All the players were wearing their team uniforms. The boys in their light blue Lacrosse uniforms and the girls in their white and blue soccer uniforms. With the exception of Meredith, who was wearing her light blue cotton American Eagle tank top and matching boy shorts, and her favorite soccer shoes.

"My sister, Nancy. She's been annoying me. Some breaking news about me on Gossip Girl." Derek said, looking pained. He clearly doesn't like the Gossip Girl phenomenon.

"You look hot." Mark said as Meredith stopped in front of him. She threw the ball at him, which hit his forehead. Derek gazed at Meredith, who tried to ignore him.

"Okay. So here's the rules. No kicking lower than the waist for the girls…." George explained as the girls giggled.

"….And no grabbing above the waist for the boys." Callie finished. The boys groaned.

"What if the ball was gonna go that way, and we can't help but… try to grab it?" Alex asked. Meredith bit back a laugh.

"Just play!" Cristina shouted. And the game begins.

GAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGAGA

It was a tie. The 8 athletes have been playing for a straight 3 hours, and it was finally time for the tie breaker. Derek and Cristina have been running after each other like crazy in the last 15 minutes. The boys seem to have the right idea and kept Callie and Meredith as far away from Cirstina as possible. Izzie's face was so red with anger at their strategy all the way in her goalie post. Suddenly, Meredith had an idea. She ran to the left, where George followed, then did a very professional backflip to move away from him, one of her usual moves at every soccer game.

"Cris!" Meredith shouted as George looked shocked and Alex started to run to block her. Callie ran after him. As if on cue, Cristina lifted the ball with her foot and used her head to throw the ball to Meredith, who expertly caught it by jumping up in the air and softly hitting it with her head, before running with it to Mark, the other team's goalie.

"Come on, Grey!" Callie shouted.

"Hey." Derek said, running along with her, trying to catch the ball, which she continued to dodge away with her foot. She continued to ignore him.

"You're really good." he continued to pester her. Every move he made, it seemed like she knew because she kept keeping him away from the ball by just a second.

"I'm not going out with you," Meredith muttered. Derek grinned.

"I didn't ask you to go out with me." he tried to kick the ball to the left, but Meredith spun around, and then back, running far away from him.

"Do you want to go out with me?" he asked, running up to her. His chest hit her back. She groaned.

"No touching." she growled.

"You felt that? The electricity?" he teased her. Then, she had the idea. She smiled at him. The Meredith, flirty smile she used in special occasions.

"Maybe. What're you gonna do about it?" She asked huskily. Derek stopped in shock.

"What are you DOING, Shepherd?!" Alex exclaimed. Then, Meredith did it. The Greyslam. She softly kicked the ball up in the air with her left foot, then, jumped up in the air herself, pulled back and kicked the airborne ball with her right foot with as much force as she could handle. It zoomed past Mark's ear before he could even blink.

"Whoa." Cristina, Izzie and Callie said at the same time, in 3 different places.

Alex, George and Mark stared in shock. Derek continued to stare at Meredith. His stare was a different kind of shock. Meredith smiled in triumph.

"So. Dinner? It's on the boys, right?" she asked casually, smiling at Derek.

A/N: Hoped you guys liked! Sorry to Addek fans who are reading... No Addek. Never planned it, never will be an Addek. Maybe and Addek friendship in the future chapters, but i hated Addek, so, sorry!

But MerDer is the most likely pairing as of now... but don't worry McSteamy fans... he's gonna have a much bigger plotline with family and what girl helps him with his "problems"... and Alex will have something too... so sit tight! Up Next: Gossip Girl checks in, Addie plans Manhattan's first and hottest party of the fall, the 3rd Senior hottie returns to SGP and Meredith does something unexpected... or not. Review, Review, Review!!!!!
