The Story of Sofia and Zola

Orientation

Sofia's plane landed and she got off. She walked out of the airport and called an uber. she waited on the bench outside and she let Arizona know she landed safely. She imagined for a second what it must've been like for her mother to have been in a plane crash. After 10 minutes her uber arrived and she got in. She put on her playlist until she got to her apartment. She paid the uber with cash and got out. She went up the stairs and unlocked the door. She entered the apartment and got excited. She had only ever seen it virtually. It was already furnished so she was able to relax. she unpacked her clothes and then got ready to go grocery shopping. She got in the car in her parking lot and she drove to the Walmart. She got pizza rolls and a lot of stuff to bake and put it in her cart. She heard about how much stress being an intern is so she thought she would need to stress bake. She got self care stuff and then went to check out. She payed for her stuff and went home. She took a nice bath and went to sleep. The next morning she woke up and it's almost as if she had been asleep for two hours. She just wanted to stay in bed. She knew this day was one of the most important days of her life. She had to not only survive today, but she had to make sure that her coworkers liked her. This meant to make no mistakes. She got ready for the day, and then she got dressed in something random. She didn't care what she was wearing because later she wouldn't be wearing that outfit. She would be wearing light blue scrubs. She got in her car and started it. She blasted her favorite song and sang her heart out. She pulled into Grey Sloane Memorial and she looked at the building. She was excited to meet the interns in her class. she walked in and got on the elevator. She headed to the intern lockers and looked for her locker. She looked at the locker next to her and a fellow intern walked up to it. "Oh my gosh" Sofia said. "Sofia?!" Zola said. "Zola!" they hugged each other. "It's been so long!" Sofia said. "Yeah and I see you had a glow up!" Zola said to Sofia. "You too it seems." Sofia said chuckling. The other interns walked in. One intern whispered "Oh my goodness thats Zola and Sofia". "Their parents are like legends" another one whispered. "Ugh." Sofia said as she walked up to them. "What are we talking about?" She said. "Um nothing." they said opening their lockers. They changed into their light blue scrubs. "I feel powerful" Zola said. "Yeah me too" Sofia replied. Maggie Pierce walked in. Interns were whispering to each other. "Hello interns. I just wanted to let everyone know that you will be assigned to residents starting now. If your name is called by a resident then you have been assigned to them." Maggie said. She walked away. "Was that Maggie Pierce?" Sofia asked. "Yep. That's my aunt" Zola said. "That's probably why you are in this program" said an intern named Jack. "Shut up!" said Zola. "Isn't your mom the Chief of Chiefs?" said Jack. "She can't control who her parents are." said Sofia. "Coming from Mark Sloans kid." said Bianca. "Dude shut up". an intern said to Jack and Bianca. An intern named Nora walks up to Zola and Sofia. "Don't listen to them they are just mad that you genius was breaded into you." Nora said. "They were just mad anyways" Sofia says. "Bianca is totally the type to cheat off of the smart girls paper." Zola said. "Definitely." Nora said. A resident walked in. "If your name is Joe Perez, Zack Miller, Sarah Garcia, Julia Lopez, or Ryder Davis please come with me." said a resident. five interns followed the resident out the door. "If your name is Bianca Delaney, Jack Parker, Nora Luna, Zola Shepherd, or Sofia Torres, please follow me." said a resident. "Ugh great" Sofia sighed. "At least we are together, plus Nora seems cool." Zola said. They followed their resident and they stopped. There was a bunch of pagers. "Grab your pagers." their resident told them. They each grabbed a pager and put it in their pockets. Their resident started walking and they followed behind. "Okay the rules are simple. Rule number one, on call rooms are for sleeping and nothing else. Rule number two, if your patient is dying the first thing you do is page me. Rule number three sucking up gets you nowhere. Rule number four, if I am moving you are moving, got it?" Their resident said. "Yes." they all said in harmony. "Good. We have a patient that needs and appendectomy. whoever shows the most promise will get to scrub in and observe.".   "Dr. Richards?" Bianca said. "Yes?" Joshua said. "Is it true that Meredith Grey actually did burr holes as an intern?" Bianca said as she quickly glanced at Zola. "Yes. But if you waste your time asking stupid questions then you wont get that far. Here are some charts." He said as he passed out charts to the interns. They stood there for a second. "Well get to work" Joshua said. He walked to an on call room to get some sleep. The interns got to work.
