A/N: Thanks for the reviews, I really, really appreciate all of them! Sorry I'm still on like the first day of school with this, lol. We should be out of it, at most, during the next two chapters. I think.

Chapter Three: Lunch Time

Meredith's eyes searched the crowded halls after the bell for lunch rang. She searched for the other Grey girl who took off and never came back. What was her deal, Meredith wondered. There was no sign of her anywhere, but she did find Derek, "Hey," she said, approaching him and they entered the cafeteria together, "You haven't seen that Alexandra girl anywhere have you?"

Derek puckered his lips, trying to recall if he seen her since the last time or not, "Nope," he said as he shook his head, "Why?"

"It was the weirdest thing," she started as they made their way to one of the lunch lines, "So we're in Spanish class, right? And Mr. Morales calls our names, and she turns to me and asks me if my last name is Grey. For some reason, for looks like she's gonna be sick or something. So she leaves."

"She leaves?"

"She leaves! And she doesn't ever come back to class," Meredith paused, shaking her head in confusion, "And I can't imagine why she just freaked out."

"Maybe she's just sick or something. Maybe she went home," Derek suggested.

"I don't know. There's something off about that girl."

George sat down at an empty table with his tray of food. They had the same stuff as last year… you get two choices; burger or pizza. He sighed, about to take his first bite when Izzie took a seat on the other side of the table in front of him. She looked upset. "You okay?" He asked her.

All she did was nod her head, "I'm fine, I'm just ready for this frikkin' day to be over," a groan escaped her lips and she laid her head down over her folded arms on the table.

"Are you not eating?"

"Hmnn," she made a noise, shaking her head.

"I've never known you to miss a meal," George's brows furrowed, concerned for his best friend.

"I-- I just don't feel like eating."

George looked as though he knew there was something more going on with Izzie. He figured it had something to do with Alex, but he knew if she wanted to talk about it, she wouldn't hesitate.

Izzie spotted Addison across the cafeteria waiting in line to get a tray of food, "I'll be right back," she said, lifting herself from the table.

Callie, Arizona, and Mark sat down at a table, and his eyes scanned the cafeteria. "Aren't we missing somebody?"

"Yeah, where's Addison?" Callie asked, adjusting herself on her seat and tying her long, brunette locks back with a rubber band.

Mark continued to look around, but there was no sign of her. So he shrugged his shoulders, "Oh well," he said, eyeing Arizona across the table as a smirk played at his lips, "This beautiful young lady right here can take Red's place… how are you doing today? Are you new?"

Callie cocked an eyebrow and a half smile appeared on her face at Mark's attempt to flirt with Arizona.

"Yes, I am. Calliope here has been a joy, she's helping me find my way around this maze of a school building," Arizona smile in Callie's direction.

"Calliope?" Mark frowned, "How come you never let me call you Calliope?"

"Oh," Arizona started before Callie got to answer that question, not that she was even going to answer that question, "That reminds me. Sorry about fifth hour. I didn't know that girl would torment you all hour because of you name."

"That's just Cristina," Callie shrugged, "I don't take it personally coming from her," she assured the blonde with a smile.

"She really was rude though wasn't she? And competitive. Did you see how she drew that circle exercise thing today and how she made sure she was quicker and faster than everyone else? I don't think I've met a girl as competitive as her-- actually, I have. My ex girlfriend was really competitive, and cold, like your friend… Cristina?"

"Yeah-- Whoa," Callie paused, "Back up. Your ex girlfriend?"

Arizona nodded her head, and suddenly a door was opened for Callie, and she felt a wave of opportunity wash over her.

"That's not some kind of problem… is it?" Arizona asked hesitantly.

"Oh, of course not," Callie told her with a scoff that she would even ask that question.

Mark smirked in Callie's direction, and he raised his eyebrows to her. "You know, Arizona. Callie here is-- ouch!"

Callie shook her head quickly at him with a frown on her face, which faded into a smile when Arizona looked in her direction.

"Did you just kick me?" Mark frowned, clutching his shin with both hands.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Callie chuckled nervously.

"Wait," Arizona said, "Callie here is… what?" She was intrigued, and wanted to know what Mark was going to say.

"I'll tell you later," Callie forced herself to stop chuckling, stuffing an oversized bite of pizza in her mouth.

Derek joined Teddy and Owen at a table across the cafeteria.

"Hey Hunt," Derek smiled as he sat down in front of the two of them, "Who's this?"

"Derek, this is Teddy. We used to go to school together for six years before I came here."

Derek's eyebrows lifted, "Wow, six years? You two must be pretty close then, huh?"

"Best friends," Teddy announced proudly with a smile on her face.

"Oh, by the way," Owen said, looking from Derek to Teddy, "Sorry about how Cristina acted towards you this morning. I don't really know what her deal was with that…"

"I guess it was just the way I was surprised that you had a girlfriend."

Owen cocked an eyebrow, "Why would that surprise you?"

"You know," Teddy paused, thinking he knew very well why she would be surprised, "because of Brenda."

"Who's Brenda?" Derek asked curiously.

Owen cleared his throat to buy time before speaking, "Brenda was my girlfriend."

"She wasn't just your girlfriend. You two were inseparable, you did everything together. They dated for three years," Teddy said, directing the last sentence to Derek, then focused on Owen once more, "that's why I was surprised. I just figured, you know, you and Brenda would still be together…"

"Well, we tried. But, we couldn't handle the distance. Only being able to call, and only seeing each other every couple of months if we were lucky… It got too complicated. So, we both decided to just end it."

"You can apologize to Cristina for me, for my reaction. I was just a little surprised, that's all."

"I will," Owen said, "I want you two to like each other. You're the two most important girls in my life right now."

Teddy smiled in his direction, and Derek could have sworn he saw her blush a little bit.

Meredith had just finished explaining to George and Cristina what happened with Lexie today, just to get their opinions. Cristina just shrugged her shoulders, "She's probably a creep or a weirdo. Best to stay away from those kinds of people," she said, glancing across the room to find Owen and Teddy eating lunch together. She rolled her eyes and scoffed to herself.

"Mer, I meant to ask you; Do you have any classes with a girl named Teddy?" Cristina asked her.

"Teddy who?" Meredith asked.

"Teddy! Like there's any other Teddy's at this school," she scorned.

"Um, no," she shook her head.

"Oh, I have," George said, raising his hand slightly from the surface of the table, "I've had like two classes with her so far. She seems nice."

"Yeah, well she pisses me off," Cristina grumbled.

"Who is she?" Meredith asked.

Cristina pointed in her direction, "She's over there, having lunch with Owen."

"What, are you jealous or something?" Meredith asked.

Cristina's face twisted at the question, "Are you serious? Jealous of a girl with the name Teddy? I don't think so. She just.. Pisses me off. That's that. End of story."

George and Meredith just looked at each other and shrugged, knowing when Cristina was done talking, she really was done talking. There was no getting anything out of her.

Addison and Izzie were standing out in the vacant hallway, and Izzie was near tears. Addison looked sorry for the blonde, and she pulled her into a hug, "That's why you can't tell Alex… or anyone else, okay?" Izzie asked with her arms wrapping around Addison's back. Addison nodded her head, "Yeah, I promise. I won't tell anyone."

"It's not that I want to kill my baby. Because I know that's wrong, and I know it's not the right thing do to in this situation. But I can't take care of this kid. I live in a trailer park for God's sakes. I don't have money, and I know Alex won't step up and take care of this baby with me. Obviously, because he has you now. So, I just can't tell anyone. It's going to be like I never had it to begin with."

Addison was silent for a moment. She didn't believe in abortion, so she took in a deep breath and pulled out of the hug to look into Izzie's tear-filled eyes, "Termination isn't always the way to go. You could always give the baby up for adoption."

Izzie shook her head, sucking in her bottom lip for a moment while wiping the tears from her eyes, "I can't keep this baby inside of me. People will know that I'm pregnant, my mom will know that I'm pregnant, and I can't have that. I don't want Alex to know, and I don't want my friends to know. It's just… It's better this way."

Before Addison had a chance to refute Izzie's argument, Izzie made her way down the hall and into the cafeteria again, rejoining Meredith, Cristina, and George at the table.

"Hey, where were you?" George asked.

"Oh," she paused, thinking quickly, "I forgot I left my books in the gym."

Meredith heard the door to the cafeteria open, and she absentmindedly looked in that direction. But soon, she locked eyes with Lexie, who froze upon seeing Meredith. She quickly turned in place and rushed out of the cafeteria.

"I'm about to go see what is up with this girl," she said, getting up from the table and chasing after Lexie.

"Hey, wait!" Meredith called to her.

Lexie slowly came to a stop in the middle of the hallway, knowing she wasn't about to get away from Meredith now. Catching her breath, she turned to face the other girl.

"Are you okay? Why did you freak out and leave during fifth hour today?"

Lexie was silent for a moment, then she looked down to the floor and swallowed the saliva that had built up in her throat, "Your last name is Grey. Have you really not figured it out by now?" Her eyes lifted from the floor and connected with Meredith's.

Meredith frowned a confused frown, "Figured what out?" She really was clueless.

"Meredith," Lexie paused, "My dad's name is Thatcher Grey."

Suddenly, it felt like a thousand pound weight was dropped on Meredith's shoulders, "My dad's name is Thatcher Grey."

Lexie nodded, and slowly said, "I know. You're my half sister."

Meredith's mouth opened slightly. She didn't know what to say, and she didn't know what to think. She was speechless.

I thought this chapter went pretty well. I myself can't wait to see what the next will be like, lol.
