At last! Here it is! Welcome to the story, Finn Dandridge. Muahahaha! Thanks so much to mcdreamydreamsofme, for this one!!!
D POV
When I told her to walk away, I hadn't exactly been expecting her to...I thought she'd get what I was trying to say and apologize or something. Well, I guess it just goes to show, never expecting anything when it comes to the Grey family.
I lay outside, on a ledge, determined to skip the rest of the day. Meredith, being her normal overachieving, high grades holding self had several classes with juniors, two of which she shared with me. I didn't think I'd be able to stand being in a classroom with her, not after what had just gone down.
I groaned as my thoughts drifted to her once again, and then to Addison. I didn't know why I had agreed to go out with her, but Addison...she had a way of getting things she wanted. I looked to the watch on my wrist to discover that fourth period was over. Fourth period just so happened to be the other class I shared with Meredith, and since it was over, I figured it was safe to go back inside. So much for skipping.
I walked inside and froze. Meredith was currently talking to Finn Dandridge, a fellow junior whose locker was right next to mine. I clenched my jaw in pure anger and walked over to my locker. Meredith finally noticed me and turned her back to me, facing Finn. This caused Finn to look up and meet my eyes.
"Shep." he said, nodding.
"Dandridge." I muttered back.
As I rifled through my locker, I eavesdropped on the conversation going on next to me. I heard Finn complaining about the test I should have taken during fourth period and Meredith reassuring him he did fine. How the hell did they know each other, anyways? I looked over at them when I heard Finn bring up his activities for the weekend, saying that maybe she could join him. Oh hell.
"...So Friday?" I heard her giggle.
- Hide quoted text -
"Friday." he confirmed, smiling.
I was beyond angry; she was doing this just to piss me off. I was sure of it. Well, two could play at that game.
"Watch out for this one, Finn. She bites." I couldn't help but smirk as I made the comment, the totally out-of-line comment. But it was true, she did bite. I couldn't help but smile again as I brushed my fingertips over the small bruise on my neck that Mer had given me. As I looked to Mer, she looked hurt and embarrassed. And pissed, she looked pretty pissed too. I walked away, headed to my fifth period class, thinking to myself. Yep, two could certainly play at this game.

"He's such a loser," I shouted, for Finn's benefit. He definitely couldn't know about Derek and I.
"You two...?" He asked, thoroughly confused.
I laughed, loud. "Oh no! Never. He's my older brother's weird-ass friend. He thinks he's doing Mark a favor by trying to keep guys away from me."
"Oh! Okay." he smiled, satisfied that I had had nothing to do with Derek. "Well I'd better get back to class, you know. Friday, see you Friday Meredith." he backed away, smiling, before turning around and jogging to his last class of the day.
I felt bad, for using Finn like this. But I wasn't really using him...I actually kind of liked him. But he was no Derek, that's for sure. Keep up your game, Derek, I thought to myself, it takes two to play.
D POV
I really wish I would start thinking before I say things. Not just the thing with Mer and Finn…but the thing afterwards with Finn. He was just being nice, and I was…well I'm not quite sure what I was…
"Shep! Hey, Shep!" he called as he jogged after me.
"Yeah?" I turned around to face him.
"The test you…missed. It was killer, so I thought you'd want some notes. I was hoping at least one person would pass," he finished with a laugh.
"Yeah sure, but I'm late now. So I'll pick them up this weekend at your house?" I questioned.
"Fine with me, see you later, man!"
After figuring out all the things I had to do over the weekend, I decided that Saturday morning would be the only time I had free. I then realized that Saturday was after Friday and that Friday was Finn's date with Meredith. Finn was a bragger. He liked to brag about his dates, and I wasn't quite sure I could handle being the first person he got to tell.
I needed those notes, though. Maybe I could just tell him I had to be somewhere and get in and out in less than thirty seconds. Maybe it could work.
I was still trying to convince myself of that when I was sitting in Finn's driveway on Saturday. I held the bridge of my nose between my fingers and prayed for my pounding headache to go away. My date with Addison…hadn't gone well, but we had agreed to try again.
"Thank you." Addison said, after our date, if you could call it a date.
"You're thanking me for the worst date ever?" I laughed as I said it.
I heard my car door squeak open and before I knew it, I was knocking on Finn Dandridge's front door.
He looked surprised to see me, which was my first clue to get the hell. Out. Of. There.
"Problem, Dandridge?" I joked.
"Uh...No…No not at all…it's just I'm kind of in the middle of some-"
I heard her before I saw her. She called out Finn's name, and then I heard her light footsteps as she came down the stairs behind Finn. Meredith came down the stairs in a pair of white short shorts and a purple halter-top. I decided at that point that I loved halter-tops, and that I hated Finn Dandridge.
I stood, staring at her, for a minute or two before I finally composed myself enough to walk out of the house and back to my car.
"A vet!" I shouted as I dropped my head to my steering wheel. "He wants to be a fucking VET!"
Grumbling, I started my car and sped away. Then I began thinking, McDreamy. I'm McDreamy. How does he think he can compete with that? Heh. McVet. I couldn't help but let out a chuckle.
I picked up my phone and called Addison.
"Addie, hey. Listen; do you want to go out tonight? I need to…well never mind. So out? Tonight? Great."
Sorry about the delay on this one guys! I asked someone to be a beta for me and I had some problems getting it to her, curse my computer. Ok, well I hope you guys liked this one! Things should be picking up a little more soon. R&R!
