The next morning after arriving to Seattle, Addison sat down to speak to someone who was sent to be her assistant. Addison was an organized young lady. Never showed anyone her true purpose and always kept a poised face. She was to marry Derek after he took over his fathers company but he had something else in mind. Although he has been cut off from his fathers wealth, his mother still speaks to him when she can and still believes he can change his mind - that's where Addison comes in. Addison loves Derek. She loves the way his brown eyes shimmer when she wears her red dress. She loves the way his smile radiates her skin. She loves the way he pays for absolutely everything. She loves how the color green can compliment her anymore than any other color. Addison had a special eye for finding someone who was about to drive straight into incredible wealth. Though Addison did love Derek, she didn't know anything about the real Derek and she was the only one who was going to know that. She couldn't let anyone know because she wanted the wealth and the fame that came along with Derek Sheppard. She wanted to be his misses. To her, that was her reason to work extra hard for him. She wouldn't let him go. In her mind, she couldn't.

"What information do you have for me" She spoke to the girl coldly before she had the chance to sit down. The girl froze because she was expecting more of a greeting more than anything else. She has been working for Addison for almost a year. She finally put a face to the voice. "Well," Addison said impatiently, "Are you mute?"

The girl cleared her throat, "No, Ms. Montgomery. Well... He's been going to Seattle University for a year. He's started his second year last month. He works at a coffee shop, and lives with three men."

Addison scoffed as her eyes traveled somewhere else. "Mark & Owen. Nothing ever changes. What else?"

The girl stood quiet. Addison leaned in and spoke in a tone that began to snap. "What. Else."

The girl took a deep breath and parted her lips softly. "Well... I was with him a couple of days ago-"

"You were with him," she said cutting her off.

"Yes," she responded with a slight stutter, "I date one of his friends."

"What's his name?"

"Her name is Calliope."

"Oh, okay. So continue." Addison felt stupid, but she didn't let it show.

"So as we were talking, some young asian girl comes up to him yelling saying that some other girl was falling for him and that he should feel the ashamed. When he told the girl who I was, some other young girl runs out of the coffee shop."

Addison sat back in her chair puzzled on what to do next. "This might be a little harder than I thought now that a girls involved. If you say she's young she might be easy to manipulate but if she has a headstrong best friend it might be a little difficult... What did you say your name was?"

"Arizona Robbins, Ms. Montgomery."

"Well Arizona, I hope you're ready for a little game."

Lexie walked down the stoop to an unfamiliar apartment, buttoning her velvet blue vest. She catches a side glimpse of her hair and begins to pat it down frantically. As she walks toward the curb to catch a taxi, she see someone familiar to her and the closer they get the more her heart races because of how distinct they seem.

For what began to seem like brown hair, turned into dark red hair. And the round eyes she saw began to turn into an almond shape. Before she knew it she realized it was April, giving full eye contact to her. She tries to look around and find a way to avoid April but she realizes she cant.. If she turned back around, April would know something is happening. The more April walked closer, the more Lexie panicked. How was she supposed to tell one of her friends that she was sleeping with an older man? Then she realized that it was best just not to say it and act normal.

"Hey Lexie," April said through a smile.

"Hey Kepner," replied reluctantly as her vocal chords shook.

"I haven't seen you in school, what's been going on?" "Oh," she said slowly trying to come up with something fast in her mind, "I decided to do the Co-op Job."

"Really," April replied Naively, "What are you doing?"

"Volunteering… with old people," she said as her voice trembled.

"Oh, that's cool." April looked around trying to come up with small talk. She snapped her fingers "Dude you need to visit at lunch because if Avery tells me one more story about Cristina I'm gonna fl-"

"Yeah I'll visit," she said interrupting Aprils conversation and almost tripping over her own words, "But hey I gotta go and check in… with the check in.. people."

"Okay," April said meekly and took one step passed her, "Call me later tonight or whatever."

Lexie nods and takes two steps toward the curb before April speaks again. "Aye, Lexie? What are you doing on this side of town, by the way? I've never seen you here before."

She swallows hard and points to the building she came out of, "You know, volunteering." She begins to move her hands around her face in a wild manner., "Y'know. Busy, Busy Busy."

April makes an O shape with her mouth and continues to walk away. Lexie sighs as she closes her eyes tightly. And walks toward the curb. She looks around for a cab and waves down a cab. As the cab pulls up she murmurs to herself, "I have to get out of this town."

On the other side of town, Meredith gets called to Calliope's office, five minutes before school ends.

"Sit here and don't move," Calliope says to her as she walk out of the room.

Quietly, hearing the clock ticks, Meredith taps her foot to the rhythm. She plays with her fingers and looks out the window trying to figure out what did she do. She tried to figure out if it's her grades. If they were slipping because her report card wasn't available to her for another week or two. Then she thought of Derek. What if her mother was coming in? What if they knew? What If he was arrested?

Suddenly the door stormed open.

"Okay this is the deal," Calliope said, "You messed up sophomore year."

"What does that have to do with this year," Meredith said defensively.

"You burned a school gym down, Meredith Grey."

She made an O shape with her mouth and laid back in her chair.

"Look, you burned a gym down, that goes on your record. With something like that on your record, it can affect what a college says about you. So the school board decided that since you're a smart girl and for this city they want to recommend you to the best doctor school here, you have to clean that off your record. The only way is to volunteer for someone. Unfortunately you can't choose. The school board sent out notices talking about you and what you did. And even more unfortunate all the places thought you were crazy so they declined. Except one lady. So you're her assistant for six weeks."

"That's easy. Who is she?"

She opens the door and a woman dressed in a black Chanel dress, Black sunhat , and black sunglasses comes in.

"Meredith," Calliope said, "Meet Addison Montgomery."
