"How was school?" Derek pulled out to the main road after Meredith had sat down in the passenger seat.

"It was… school," She shrugged. "People suck, basically."

"Only a year and a half left," He laughed.

"Small talk," Meredith coughed and Derek shook his head. "Just pointing out the obvious."

"Uh-huh," Derek smiled. "So, about this weekend. I really like you Meredith. Like, a lot. And that's what was going through my mind."

"I… I like you too, Derek. I'm just scared."

"Hey, I'm scared too. We can be scared together," He pushed the hair out of her face. "I just want us to have a fair chance."

Meredith looked at him. He was genuine about this; she could just tell. She wanted to give this a chance, but what if it doesn't work out then she looses her best friend. What ifs were bad. Very bad. "I… What if…"

"You can't live your life on what if's," He smiled.

"Yeah," She slowly nodded. "I…I guess… we could-"

"Meredith?" He laughed as she looked up at him. "Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Y-Yeah," She smiled and looked up at him. Derek pulled into her driveway, then pulled her in for a kiss. For Meredith, it meant everything to her. She could feel that this was the right decision. This was just… right.

"I'll call you later tonight?" He leaned his forehead against hers.

"Yeah," She smiled, gave him a peck, then was headed towards her house. She closed the door behind herself and was genuinely happy.

"Was that Derek? I thought I told you to come home right after school," Thatcher walked into the foyer.

So much for happiness. "He offered to drive me home, so yeah, that was Derek. And it's 2:10; I'm home after school."

"Did you talk to your sister yet?"

"No," She laughed ironically. "How come it's always me who gets blamed for everything. She brought that upon herself."

"I have to go to the office. Talk to her, Meredith." Thatcher grabbed his briefcase and headed out the door.

Meredith just walked into the kitchen and dialed Izzie's number. "Oh my god! Izzie!" She almost yelled into the phone.

"What happened?"

"So, Derek picked me up from school so we could talk, because me and him uh… had a fight at Chatsworth," She lied, "But yeah, we talked and now… I have a boyfriend."

"Seriously? Seriously!" She laughed. "I knew it was going to happen!"

"Yeah," Meredith smiled. "It's good," She said.

"I'm so happy for you. I have to text Derek; He's not an idiot anymore," She laughed.

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"He finally said something to you after the two-ish years you've been friends. He's learning."

"Oh," She smiled. "I have a question, though. Do I tell my Dad, or not?"

"Well, you're Dad's being an ass again, so why bother. You know he's just going to give you shit about it."

"True… Very true." Meredith laughed as her two sisters walked through the front door. "I have to go Iz, but i'll talk to you later okay?"

"Yup. Bye," Izzie hung up the phone as Meredith smiled to herself. Life Is Good.
