Chapter 4: Welcome To The Game.

"Each of you has arrived here today hopeful, nervous, excited and eager. A month ago you were all in public schools, wondering what life is like behind the marble gates. Wanting in on the fabulous lifestyles you heard about. But from today on, you are living that life. The next years you spend here as a student will be the best and worst of your life, you will be pushed to the breaking point. Mentally, physically and academically. Look around you. Say hello to your competition." The now nervous teenagers did look around them. They were standing in the middle of the school grounds. A circle of cobbled stone rested beneath their feet. Paths lead out from the circle flanked on either side by perfectly manicured lawns. Three buildings surrounded them, each was tall and broad pained white and reflected the sun making the whole place seem brighter. Each of their eyes settled on the three students walking towards their direction. Webber continued his speech as they drew closer.

"This is you starting line at life. Real life. This is your arena, how well you play, that's up to you." He finished as the three older students arrived beside them. Eight sets of eyes clashed. To look into them there were many emotions to see. Nervousness, hope, lust, longing, fear, happiness, amusement, eagerness. It was time to see which would come out strongest.

The five new teenagers looked the three standing before them up and down. They oozed confidence, and beauty. They were each tall and intimidating. The principal broke the spell of silence they all seemed to be trapped under.

"I would like to introduce each of you to three of our senior class students." He spoke with a sense of pride in his voice.

He gestured towards the dark haired boy with the ever so slightly crooked nose that just added to his dreaminess, and his thick wavy hair that looked a little like Russell Crowe only so much hotter . His smile made the three girls go weak at the knees.

"This is Derek Sheppard. I'm sure you might have heard of him if you had any interest in football these days. " said Richard, it seemed he had a soft spot for these three.

Derek held out a hand and said a hello to each of them flashing the girls his dreamiest of smiles.

"McDreamy then," Meredith thought to herself. Little did she know Izzie, and Christina were thinking the exact same thing. Alex and George saw him as competition. Good luck beating that guy boys.

"We've crossed paths already I believe," said Derek turning on the charm. Addison and Mark tried and failed miserably to suppress their laughter. Derek shot them a look but then smiled to himself at the memory.

"This is Mark Sloan, also one of our football protégés here at Seattle Grace. Once he stops smirking." Richard said shooting each of them a look that said 'mess up my big intimidating speech and be sorry'.

They each immediately stopped and Mark shook each of there hands also. Giving Meredith's an extra little squeeze and flashing her and her only his warmest of smiles. Lucky her.

"Nice to meet all of you," he said, If Derek had chance at charming he wasn't going to miss out on his chance either. Unfortunately before he could get truly dreamy the tall red head stopped him. She stepped in front of Mark and Derek slightly, placing her hands on her hips. She winked at the two and they both grinned back like fools.

"Don't worry about Webber here, he tries the whole intimidating 'this is where you begin real life thing' on everyone." she smiled and held out a hand. "I'm Addison Montgomery by the way." she shook hands with them each.

George and Alex just stared. She gorgeous, but she was also incredibly intimidating. She looked she could smoother you in a hug one minute or slap you face off the next. They both prayed not to have to face the latter side of that any time soon.

Mark and Derek smirked slightly, seeing the effect Addie had on new people was always amusing to them. Now anyway.

Webber cleared his throat suddenly, eager to get the focus back on his on personal tour.

"Yes well, as you can all tell I am a very busy man so to give you all a hand settling in I figured who better to show you the ropes than these three. They've never let me down before. I'm hoping they won't start now." he said looking at the three warningly. He had to admit to himself he did indeed have a soft spot for those three. They showed great potential. He just hoped they could move past the whole teenager part soon and figure out what the hell they were going to use all that potential for.

" I have a meeting to get to, but if there's any trouble or questions this lot can't help you with be sure to make a appointment with me." he smiled reassuringly at the five new students before heading off towards one of the large white buildings nodding a greeting to a few passers by.

The three seniors were now left alone with the five new students who looked like poor dears caught in head lights.

"Welcome to the game." Mark, Addie and Derek said in unison. They each shared a look. It was time to show them how things worked around here. It was their territory and they knew best here.

"Don't worry we're not complete pompous assholes you know," said Derek when he saw Alex's apprehensive look.

"Well, Mark only is when he's hammered enough to forget it," he added, earning him a slap upside the head from Mark.

Addie shook her head at the two. She looked the new kids up and down. She had to say it was starting to look like fun. At first the idea of being followed by five stuck up snobby brats all day had sounded like the worst idea possible. But now she had met them she could tell they were different. Fun even, the anti of everything that existed inside the walls of the school.

Thank god for that. She thought to herself.

"So how about we start with a little tour then?" Mark proposed. Glancing around, his focus mainly staying on Meredith. She locked eyes with him and flashed him an irresistible smile of her own. Two can play the steamy game then.

"Anything to keep me out of double history will do fine" Derek said running a hand through his hair. Really anything to keep him out of any class and with Addie and Mark would suit him down to the ground, but he had to keep his parents happy, if that meant showing up to a couple of classes he would at least try. Granted, not very hard, but try none the less.

With that said Mark, Addison and Derek lead the five fresh faced students towards the middle of the three white buildings. A few of the people around them stared at them as they walked.

"Who are they?"

"How come they get to hang around with them?"

"I wish I was that lucky. Derek Sheppard is so dreamy."

Izzie noticed the stares and whispers around the group as they followed obediently.

"What's with all the stares? She hissed at George. He simply shrugged his shoulders and tried not to fall flat on his face in front of all those people. He had never been the most co coordinated of boys.

Mark turned around at hearing this. He grinned at Izzie.

"Get used to it," he said with a smile.

"Your new." Derek said as if that explained everything. His statement was met with five doubtful and curious looks.

"This place, is a living rumour mill. The walls have eyes. And ears too. So be careful." Addison elaborated. Her face softened upon seeing the anxious faces of the five.

"Stick with us, we'll keep you safe. No promises though." Mark finished, he shot Meredith a smile and took her hand. Leading her towards the building.

Addison and Derek shared a look. Every year he picked his girl. And every year that girl went through more crap than anyone else. They just hoped Meredith would make it through.

They made no promises about that. It was up to them. There was only so much they could teach this five. Everything else, was up to them. It was a game. You just had to keep up.

hmmmm, yes, that's all. I know way to short but I do plan on making up for it. And! I've finally decided on the 'ships, but I'm not gonna tell you. I like suprises! I hope you do to.

One suprise though, that made me almost fall off my chair and brake my neck was that spin of news!! HOLY MOTHER OF...spin off??!! What about addie?? what the hell!? I might actually die if she leaves. Although Kate Walsh should deffinetly have her own show, I'm not so sure it could be GA spin off...Joey anyone?? oh dear...sighs and pull warm blanket over head I need another spork to get through this if she leaves.
