"Is this a habit you have? It's cool if it is, as long as you're being safe" Izzie said as soon as I opened the door, I rolled my eyes and threw my bag on the ground.

"Iz, I'm not in danger" I walked to my closet and began attempting to find something to throw on.

"Cristina went to get coffee, I asked her to get us some but...you know Cristina" I nodded slowly, half paying attention.

"Well get dressed and we can head to chem. Don't forget that we have that rush thing tonight at 5" she instructed, I wasn't really interested in it...it seemed like a distraction but Izzie really wanted me to do it.

"Iz….that's not really my scene" I splashed water onto my face attempting to wake myself up...9am class, followed by 11am then a 2pm…...it was gonna be a long day.

"What is your scene?" She questioned, crossing her arms.

"I don't know look...I just" I sighed, I didn't really have a great answer. "I'll go"

"Really? Thank you! You're the best" she exclaimed as Cristina walked in.

"Hey, you're back. Look meredith I get that you're getting yours but you gotta stop leaving me with Chatty Cathy over here" she set down three cups of coffee on the table and threw down her keys.

"Rude" Izzie mouthed towards me and I laughed softly.

"Haha, where's your shirt?" Cristina asked, taking a sip of one of the coffee she brought in, i turned around and gave her the look that said to stop talking.

"Oh my god! Where is your shirt?" Izzie boomed at me as I threw the shirt into the laundry and grabbed a plain white t shirt.

"Class of….this person is already graduated" Izzie blurted automatically as she read the shirt.

"You must have some seriously dark daddy issues" Cristina cackled as I grabbed a pair of plain jeans.

"I um….it's derek, I don't have issues and I'm not in danger. Can we please drop this?" I begged and Izzie sighed sitting on my bed.

"I'm sorry Meredith, hey George is apparently the only one who isn't in chemistry with us so he is seriously upset about it." Izzie said, thinking she was saying the most important thing in the world.

"Bambi is always upset" Cristina said standing up and grabbing her bag again.

"You got us coffee! Thanks Cristina" Izzie said grabbing the cups and handing one over to me and I grabbed it greedily.

"Yeah don't get all used to it" She grumbled as we headed across the hall. Cristina slammed her fist on the door several times.

"Evil spawn, we're leaving!" She called heading over to where Maggie's room was and repeating the act. Maggie popped out immediately.

"God yang, why do you do that?" Alex grumbled, his appearance messy.

"We're already running behind, let's get outta here. Bye George!" Izzie called as she saw him appear in the doorway.

"Yeah.." he mumbled before closing the door shut.

"Hah, this is why he's Bambi" Alex laughed walking ahead.

School was grueling, we were busy all the time and with ecology of health and science just starting, things were picking up. I was gathering things together to leave, I saw Mark leaving the room across the hallway so I moved quicker to catch up to him.

"Hey" a voice said perkily I turned to see they were talking directly to me. It was a girl with that pretty browny-blonde hair that Meredith has, full makeup over her bright blue eyes, decorated outfit with a small leather backpack. She tossed her dyed waves over her shoulder as she approached.

"Hi um...summer right?" I asked confused why she needed to talk to me.

"Yeah!" She nodded her smile widening. "So I've been having a little bit of trouble with these chapters…." she said stepping closer to me and i took a simple step backwards

"Yeah, I think there's a study group that meets at 7:30…" she giggled as she flashed her perfectly white teeth.

"I um...if you're free, I could really use some help" my mind clicked with what was happening and I noticed Mark giving me an exuberant nod.

"Yeah, I'm um...I'm probably not the best tutor. I wouldn't be able to um….I just am probably not the best" I stammered as she wrinkled her arched eyebrow.

"Well we could do something else" she smiled and I grabbed by stuff together and started to back away.

"Look, summer you seem nice and you're very pretty I'm um….I'm seeing someone, I think so…." I said and she nodded softly.

"That's too bad, let me know if that changes" she turned around and left the room and Mark ran up to me.

"What the hell? I'm not sure what you did but she walked up to you with a smile and left like you killed her puppy" I rolled my eyes as I began to leave the room.

"I didn't do anything, I told her I wasn't interested. That was it" we neared the exit and Mark smacked the side of my head.

"Do you have brain damage? Why aren't you interested? She was hot." I sped up the pace in attempt to lose him.

"I feel like I'm Being bullied into screwing everything that walks" He was really beginning to get on my nerves, I know he is just being Mark but…..

"Maybe you should be, is this about the freshman?" He asked and I craned my head over to him before looking away. "Oh my god, seriously dude? You aren't even really seeing each other"

"Who cares? I'm Not like you, I like her and I'm not interested in sleeping around, that's your thing." I shrugged as we walked through campus. I saw her friend sitting by the fountain, the one I saw at the party and I stopped in my tracks.

"What-what's your problem?" Mark asked as he saw me walk up to the girl.

"Oh my god" i heard the girl whisper to the blonde next to her.

"What?" She whispered back.

"Hey" I smiled as I approached them, the dark haired girl shut her book and looked up at me, waiting for me to continue.

"I'm um...derek...I saw you at the move in party" I don't know why this 18 year old was so intimidating but I kept going. "I um….I has uh-has Meredith mentioned me?" I didn't know if I was even important enough to be mentioned...maybe she does this a lot.

"Meredith's derek?" The blonde whispered just loud enough for me to be able to hear, i grinned at hearing this. her eyes got a little wider as she stuck out her hand "hi! I'm Izzie, I'm Meredith's friend and one of her roommates"

"Hi, and you're Cristina right?" I asked hoping she would stop staring at me like I had three heads.

"Yeah…" she mumbled quietly. I sighed and looked back to Izzie.

"Has she mentioned me before then, right? I-I just mean…" I stuttered

"Hi, Mark Sloan, nice to meet you" Mark smirked coming up from behind me.

"Izzie, we met at the party" the blonde blushed slightly but without looking away.

"Right, hi" he chuckled awkwardly, I groaned internally at his ability to make my life worse.

"As I was saying…I just mean, I um I really had a good time and want to see her again but if she's not interested" I stammered.

"Oh um...Cristina?" Izzie started looking at her friend for help.

"She's mentioned you" she said flatly keeping her eyes glued to mine with an icy look. I cleared my throat breaking the incredibly scary contact.

"Good things then?" I asked hopefully,

"Um...Meredith is pretty private, ya know? She won't even talk to us about the sister she didn't know she had she's just…" Cristina kicked Izzie in the leg with force "ow!" She screamed

"Look, we have to get to writing, our friends saved us seats so…" Cristina said grabbed her bag and standing up.

"Right" I nodded and Mark laughed behind me.

"Bye derek! It was nice to finally meet you" she waved and I smiled at her phrasing, she had definitely heard of me.

"That was pathetic" Mark laughed "you're really desperate to see this girl naked again aren't you?" I stopped and looked at him.

"I like her, I do...I really do. This isn't some kind of hit em and quit em game, I want to know her so please just…." I lectured as we continued walking back to our apartment.

"Fine, look if you really like her...I support you in your desire for monogamy" he said smacking me on the back. I wondered about the sister thing Izzie had mentioned...i wanted to know her...everything.

The day had gone on pretty well, we went to chemistry, Spanish and lastly we went to writing. We were all beginning to trudge back to the dorms, our bags heavier with stacks of papers. I heard my phone ring inside my jeans, I grabbed it and didn't recognize the number.

"Hello?" I said, half expecting an automated message.

"Meredith" I blinked a couple times, shocked she had actually called me.

"...hi" I managed to get out.

"I um...i..how were your classes?" He asked, it was strange...I had never had a guy ask me such trivial questions.

"Good" I nodded as Izzie ran up to where I was holding my phone to my ear.

"It's derek" Izzie whispered to Cristina who rolled her eyes, sitting at her desk.

"Good, that's good. I saw your friends today. Izzie and Cristina" he smiled and my eyes widened at them and izzie face crinkled in confusion.

"Oh…" was all I could manage at the moment.

"Look, are you free sometime this week? I know classes just started and I have to study but...maybe Friday or um Saturday?" I could hear the hopefulness behind his voice and I sighed.

"Um...I'm supposed to go pick stuff up from my house on Friday and I'll probably just stay over there…" I mumbled.

"I can help, if you need any help...carrying things." He said excitedly.

"You're offering to help me move crap all day?" I was shocked, he was excited about that? Really?

"Yeah! I mean...how far away do you live?" He asked.

"Um...15 minutes...not too far" I whispered, knowing my roommates were listening, even if they pretended they weren't.

"Okay, sounds good...can I pick you up?" He asked me as I heard rumbling on the other end.

"Uh….yeah I guess I mean...if you want to" I looked at Izzie who was giggling and Cristina's eyes were wide in shock.

"Okay um...which dorm hall do you live in? I um, I went there so I know the area pretty well" I smiled softly before watching my roommates not even pretend not to be listening anymore.

"Um I live in Harvey" I nodded picking at my jeans.

"Alright I lived in Sage so not that far" he chuckled "well I'll see you on Friday then? At 5?" He asked.

"Sounds good and um...you can cancel anytime….if you want" I nodded.

"Your lack of faith in me is starting to feel like rejection" he laughed I sighed.

"I'm sorry, I...I'll see you Friday" I nodded pushing my hair behind my ear.

"Goodbye Meredith" he whispered.

"Bye" I whispered back before ending the call and wa immediately met with izzies questions.

"You're taking him to your moms house? That such a big step." She smiled.

"Hah, my mother won't be home...and he offered, if he wants to move stuff for me I um...I won't say no" I tried to hide how I was feeling but Cristina dropped her pen before spinning around.

"Shut up, it's bad enough you're all husky about this guy, don't pretend you aren't...it's pathetic" she said before turning back around.

"I am not all gushy over him" I shook my head.

"Shut up" she said again, I sighed and pulled out my notes from my classes.

I pulled up outside the building I was given and hopped out of the car, she said she would meet me outside. I saw her hop down the stairs, he loose waves hopping with her.

"Hi.." she smiled shyly at me, messing with the keys on her lanyard.

"Hey, So should we head out? Are you hungry first?" I asked

"No um….we can just head over to mine" she nodded. "Sorry I didn't dress up or anything" she blushed. She was in light grey sweatpants, a black zip up jacket with her hair down.

"You're beautiful, lets go" i said leading her around the side.

"Class giving you any trouble?" I asked her as we clicked our seatbelts together.

"Nothing too hard, maybe chem" she shrugged as a smiled and watched her.

"You um….might wanna watch the road" she murmured.

"Right" i nodded "i um...can you put the address in?"

"I can do that" she nodded leaning over the middle to enter the information, she bit her lip before running her toingue over it to sooth it, she looked up at me watching her.

"Eyes on the road" She pointed forward before looking back down and I blushed a little and chuckled.

"This is a nice car" she nodded softly while looking at the interior.

"Yeah...it cost a fortune so I hope so, I spent 5 summers paying for it through high school and college" i smiled as her eyes widened.

"So...why are you so interested in taking me out? Are you secretly married? Recently divorced? Actually from the future and know what an amazing doctor I'll become and want to say you screwed the best surgeon back in the day?" She questioned and I struggled to maintain my composure.

"I um...no wife, never been married. I've been in 2 relationships. One in high school,Brenna Nicholson, band geek and one in college, and Kristy Cresswell, very girly and sweet but not my type...a little high maintenance. You?" I asked, she didn't seem like she had much experience in relationships.

"Hah the last person who I called my boyfriend was Aamir Delaney in first grade, he was the first person I let sign my cast after falling off the top of the monkey bars" she said keeping her eyes on the window.

"Cute, but my mom said "im paying for it, I get to be the first one to sign" he smiled softly before remembering that her mom wasn't her favorite topic.

"So we uh...we turn up here right?" I asked, I knew where to go but she looked lost.

"Yeah" she nodded, we pulled up to her house I think few minutes.

"This is a nice house" I looked up at the two story house with at least 4 bedrooms.

"Yeah…" she said sliding her key in. "Look you have no obligation to help, I already appreciate the free ride" she said throwing her stuff down and unzipping her jacket revealing a tight light grey tank top.

"Stop that….I have to pack!" She stammered as I watched her.

"Sorry…" I mutter as I run my hand through my hair. "So what are we packing here?"

"Well I have more room in my closet than expected so I'm grabbing more clothes, I need to get my desk lamp, my textbooks are here, and I'm….some other stuff" she trailed.

"Sounds good, so clothes first?" I asked pointing to the stairs.

"Sure sounds good" she smiled heading upstairs.

"What about this?" I asked holding up long sleeved teal dress. Somewhere along the way, this process turned into me pulling stuff out and asking her before placing it into boxes.

"Um….sure" she shrugged as I threw it in.

"What about this?" I asked pulling out a long black dress with a slit up the side.

"My prom dress? I think I'll manage, I never even went to prom" she laughed.

"You missed your prom? That's sad."

"Hah I disagree, Cristina got barfed on" she giggled. Next thing I pulled out was a tight black tank top dress

"This is nice" I nodded turning it towards her.

"I love that dress" she nodded as I threw it in the box. She wanted a blue and black flannel, some long sleeve shirts, a red and white stripe shirt, teal tank top, and a black polo.

"This is…" I cleared my throat pulling out something from a bag in the corner of the closet. Her face turned red and she grabbed the red and black lacy garment from my hands.

"My friend Sadie got it for me in high school, it was stupid" she shook her head

"Nice, you should bring it" I nodded, trying to picture what it'd look like on her curves.

"Why's that?" She asked flashing her eyes at me.

"I'm just saying, it's nice" I smiled before grabbing a pair of black sweatpants but I saw her throw the lacy red and black into the box before looking back at me.

The time had flown by really quickly, derek had helped me pack up so much stuff I didn't know where I was going to put most of it.

"Hey, So I'm getting hungry. Should we order a pizza or something" I asked sitting down on the couch as he followed behind me.

"Pizza? Do you have anything here to eat?" He questioned and I laughed harder than I expected.

"No, I was raised on pizza and TV dinners" I smiled as he walked towards the kitchen.

"Where are you going?" I asked tagging behind him.

"To find some food." He opened the fridge to find some soda, milk, old cheese, wrinkled grapes, and orange juice. He closed it before opening up the freezer to find about 4 frozen dinners.

"See?" I laughed. "You thought I was kidding" I slid into one of the bar stools as he head towards the pantry. He looked around and pulled out some noodles and pasta sauce.

"I told you I could find something." He smiled as he began opening drawers to find a pot.

"No you technically didn't and I didn't even know we had that. I can't cook anyway" I shrugged.

"It's just boiling noodles" he turned to me after he found the pot, placing the uncooked ingredients in.

"About 30 minutes" he smiled sitting next to me.

"Mkay" I nodded facing him, I placed my head on my fist "thank you for helping me, you made it fun"

"Thank you for having me, it was fun. More fun thanostnof my dates" he smiled, his eyes crinkling in the corners.

"Yeah…" I closed my eyes softly as I leaned into him a little to see if he'd react and he did because in seconds our mouths were battling in a frenzy. I laced my arms around his neck as he lifted me delicately off the seat and began walking to the living room with my legs wrapped around him and his hands on the back of my upper thighs. He lowered me into the couch and slowly lifted the material of my tank top over my head

We laid there for a few minutes before she hopped up, heading back to the kitchen and I followed after her.

"Where are you going?" I asked her.

"I'm hungry, it should be done soon, right?" She asked and rightvas we entered the alarm began to blare.

"I'd say so" I nodded heading to turn off the stove and begin mixing the sauce with the noodles.

"I can do that" she said grabbing the spoon and she began mixing. "You go out something on, anything" she said taking in my uncovered body as I did the same to her.

"Fine" I mouthed. "Is this the first time you've been home?" I called as I slid in my boxers. "Meredith?" I called as she didn't reply, a few minutes later she bolted in grabbed the clothes off the floor before grabbing my hand and leading me up the stairs.

"Meredith What's wrong?" I asked nervously. Her mannerisms were completely different than I had seen only moments before.

"My Mother is here" she hissed as we reached her bedroom, she slammed the door and began dressing quickly.

"Get dressed!" She exclaimed.

"Meredith, this is a little…" she was acting erratic.

"No! You don't know, she's crazy...just please?" She begged.

The garage door closed as we both dressed and she threw the lamp in my arms and grabbed a few pairs of jeans off the table.

"Just act casual and maybe she won't freak out" I sighed and stepped towards her.

"You're freaking out" i ran my hand along her face.

"Derek I wasn't the golden child, I tried it's just not worth it..the point is, I'm used to her berating me but you! You are fresh meat, babe. She'll tear you apart. I'm protecting you here...let's go " I smiled at her as we headed down the stairs.

"Hi Mom, uh I'm grabbing some more stuff for my dorm" she mumbled as we made it down the stairs.

"Did you cook?" She asked, completely ignoring her comment.

"No...uh, Derek did. We've been packing for awhile and we uh got hungry" her mom just stared at the pot and sat at the table, Meredith bit her lip.

"Did you eat or not?" Her eyes finally came into view, they were so similar to meredith yet so different, Meredith's eyes make you feel like you're filled with carbonation and your whole body is fizzy and this woman….she makes it feel like you were transported to Antarctica.

"Um no...uh we wanted to finish packing first, we did finish" she nodded nervously.

"Then sit" she said, me and Meredith made eye contact as she went over to grab the pot and some plates. I took a seat awkwardly.

"So, are you a student at school with Meredith?" She asked Meredith's head shot up nervously, I gave her a reassuring look.

"Yeah, something like that" I nodded sticking out my hand. "Derek Shepherd, nice to meet you miss Grey, I've been studying you a lot. It's great to meet you in person" I gave her my best charming smile and I saw Meredith roll her eyes at me before bringing the plates over.

"Good, So you're interested in medicine?" She claimed and I gave her a simple nod

"Yes, ma'am. I'm thinking maybe neurosurgery" i smiled until I saw Meredith's face and frowned at her tense demeanor.

"That's a rock solid choice" she nodded as she began to eat, the table fell silent.

"It was nice to meet you derek, thank you for dinner. I'm leaving. I was planning to try and stay here for the night but it looks like that won't be happening so I'll see you another time." She said as she grabbed her keys and left.

"Are you okay?" I asked softly as the door shut. She didn't even say goodbye to her, or let alone hello.

"Der, I've lived with my mother my whole life" she smiled as she lead meup the stairs. "I'm tired" she murmured, she kissed me softly and slowly….slower than ever. She pulled away and softly pulled me upstairs towards her room, once there she kissed me again gently. I ran my hand through her hair as the smell of lavender overtook me.

—-

We laid in my bed, our faces towards each other as he ran his hand up and down my back.

"Do you have a sister?" He asked and my eyes shot open.

"Um….I don't really know" I sighed, keeping the contact our eyes had intact.

"What do you mean?" I asked as I pulled the blanket over her bare shoulders that were prickling with goosebumps.

"My father, I um...he left when I was 5 and we moved here right after. I sorta blocked it out...the whole thing but memories are coming back. This girl, she's about 14...she goes to my school, she's some super genius but...she says she is my sister and...she showed me all this proof, I can't tell my mother because…..how would I? How would I even begin to?" I rambled out.

"Is she nice? Your sorta sister?" He asked me softly.

"Yeah, she's sweet enough...she's kinda a dork" I laughed softly and Derek's eyes sparkled as I did.

"Dorky is nice, I was a dork at 14" he shrugged.

"You're a dork now" I laughed shooting closer to him, laying my head on his chest.

"Maybe, maybe.,, you had a terrible childhood" he murmured into my hair.

"Yeah…" I sighed against him.

"im sorry...if it's any consolation, I promise not to hurt you like they did" he whispered and I looked up at him.

"I want to believe you which doesn't sound like much but...it is, I promise"

"So your mom...she's-"

"Cold? Shrill? An ice queen?" She questioned. "I warned you, she wasn't the best mother but she is a great doctor."

"Is that why you want to go to med school?" He asked

"I don't know...maybe partly, I never want to be that famous surgeon lady like her, I just love medicine"

"I get that, my older sister is a psych resident, another is a ob/gyn resident, another is in her last year old med school and you met my little sister, she's pre med." He beamed.

"Wow...that's a lot of sisters" I said...I never had a family like that, it scared me. He just nodded.

"I know...I miss them" he said truthfully.

"That's Nice" I smiled slightly at him, I had never missed living with my mother, I was always miserable here.

"I'm tired…" I sighed as he wrapped his other arm around me.

"Okay" He said as I began to dose off to sleep

—-

My eyes blasted open as I attempted to find the location of the sound that woke me, only to find that it was coming from a sleeping meredith as she laid on my chest, I chuckled as I trailed kisses on her shoulder and she eventually woke up.

"Hi, you're up" She rasped, her voice laced with sleep.

"I am. So are you, now" I murmured, she rolled over on top of me.

"I really like you" i sighed as I watched her, her blue-green eyes were squinting from the brightness of the sun pouring in.

"Hm…" she listened, but remained silent.

"What?" I asked with a soft chuckle.

"I don't know...I grew up with people who basically payed zero attention to me...but you, you pour out all this attention" she stares up up at me.

"I can't help if they didn't see what I do,..I'm sure they would if they gave the time, you aren't exactly easy to get to know" I smiled and brushed her messy hair back.

"I know, but who do you think do all this to me?" She laughed but I felt my heart ache at her deprecating remark.

"We should head back to campus" she sighed as she sat up.

"Hm...if you want" I nodded as I propped myself up on my elbows.

"Yeah, I have that stupid sorority thing...I dropped but I promised Izzie I would go for her thing tonight."

"That's nice, maybe I should come" I smiled kissing her head as I stood up. "I would love to see you all dressed up".

"I bet, you might be the only guy there, you'd probably be very popular" she nodded. I couldn't tell if she was serious or not, I couldn't read her. I wanted her to be joking but at the same time I wanted her to be jealous...just a little...she's very hard to read.

"Hey, I just spent the night with you at your ice queen of a mother's house, I think my attention is pretty solely devoted" I noted and her head sprang up.

"You said she wasn't that bad" her eyes were scattered and worried.

"She wasn't, Meredith. I'm teasing. I-You're worth it...to me, you're worth it...okay?" I grew up in New York, I had met thousands upon thousands of people but...never anyone quite like her.

"Okay...thank you" She whispered, she hopped into a pair of black leggings. I grabbed her hands and pulled her back into the bed and held her securely. "Der...what are you doing?" I held my arms around her before she twisted her head around.

"I just….i had a good time and I...please don't run away. Is it the age thing? Because I'm only 22 which isn't that bad and I was in college last year so… I hope it's not the age thing. I just...i don't want you to be gone before I have even really got to know you" I smiled as. I brushed her face and she blinked at me before hopping out of the bed again.

"I have to get going…" she sighed as she stood up.

"Meredith…" I sighed, her head flipped around and sighed.

"Look I'll-you call me and….I'm not gonna run" She sighed I kept observing as she threw a t shirt on.

"Okay, I will" I hopped out of bed and began to get dressed with her.

—-

We had arrived back at my dorm, and walked up towards the entrance. I sighed before looking up into his eyes that I knew were awaiting for mine.

"So I can call you?" He asked, hope in his voice, we made it into the building, We were both carrying the items we gathered yesterday.

"You can. I'd like that." I set down my stuff and tucked a piece of hair behind my ear as he put his hand under my chin and softly kissed me. I didn't pull away...I'm not even really sure why, I hate finally pulled away and I smiled, I started to gather all my stuff as we walked in quickly and set down all the boxes, Izzie and Cristina were both pretending they weren't paying attention.

"Call me, then?".i asked quickly knowing my roommates would tease me later.

"Definitely. Bye meredith" he smiled before heading out. I shut the door and looked at them and waited for a response.

"Go ahead or whatever" .i groaned.

"No nothing, I just feel like you have more sleepovers with him than you do us...and we're your roommates"'Izzie shrugged with a smile.

"I went home to pick up stuff from my house" i rolled my eyes and began unpacking.

"Did he sleepover?" Izzie questioned an I ignored her.

"Oh my god! He met your mom? How was that? That must've been weird" Izzie giggled and Cristina rolled her eyes and looked at me.

"This is torture, are you gonna be screwing him on a regular basis or are you just having fun?" Cristina rolled her eyes,tired of the girl talk already.

"I don't know...it's fun right now. He's nice….like serial killer nice, he went to my mother's house to help me pack, that was what he called a date" I said still shocked.

"He must rreeeally like you" Izzie offered and I sigh, giving up on the boxes and kicking them under my bed.

"Hah maybe" I laid back and ran my hands through my hair.

"Oh, mer. For bid day what should I wear?" I sighed in relief as the conversation strayed away from me.

"Um I don't know iz" I keep forgetting I still have to survive this event….

"You are going aren't you?" Her eyes were pleading as she set the dresses down and came to sit next to me.

"Yeah...I'll come, I will. I just need a nap first" it was a Saturday and I had a lot of work to do that I didn't want to do.

"You should wear this" she shoved a dress into my arms before I could register.

"Quit pestering her, she said she'd go" Cristina said as she walked out of the dor.

"Hey, Addie is doing a study session this after noon if you wanna come? It might help make sense of this chapter" Izzie called as she pulled out more dresses.

"I already understand" Cristina said confidently.

"Yeah you're too busy with the chem TA" Izzie giggles and Cristina sent a glare over to her.

"Chem TA?" Meredith knit her brows together.

"You'd know if you loved here, Cristina is sleeping with her chem TA" Izzie laughed as a pillow flew towards her head.

It was true, Meredith was a little distracted with the whole sister thing and the whole derek thing but...was she really that out of it.
