Season 1, episode 1

Evelyn  grinned as she watched the chief speak, she couldn't believe she was finally here. A surgical intern.

"Each of you comes here hopeful. Wanting in on the game. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors." He paused. "Today, you are the doctors."

Evelyn smiled more, she was a doctor.

"The seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst of your life. You will be pushed to the breaking point. Look around you. Say hello to your competition."

She turned to the man stood next to her, giving him a smile, he had a soft face and kind eyes. He smiled back at her, his cheeks slightly reddening before he looked back at the chief.

"Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure. Two of you will be asked to leave."

"Not me" Evelyn smugly thought to herself.

"This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you."

The group of fresh-faced interns headed to the locker room, all of them clamouring to get their own locker. Evelyn   shoved through everyone to grab one.

She smiled at the boy from earlier who had got the cubby next to her, "I'm Evelyn Sloan."

"George, uh O'Mally."

"Who'd you get as your resident?" Evelyn questioned.

"Bailey, 'The Nazi' "

"Me too." She nodded.

"Okay. Martin, Robinson, Bond, Parkins." A doctor called through.

"Only seven women out of twenty-two." The blonde woman across from them sighed.

"Yeah. I hear one of them's a model and the others a pageant girl Seriously, like that's going to help with the respect thing?" Cristina scoffed and Evelyn rolled her eyes.

"You're Cristina, right?" Meredith asked. "I'm Meredith."

"Which resident you assigned to?" Cristina asked, "I got Bailey."

"The Nazi? Yeah, me too." 

George looked over at them s, "You got the Nazi? So did we. At least we'll be tortured together, right?" He laughed awkwardly, "I'm George O'Malley, uh, we met at the mixer" he introduced looking at Meredith, "you had a black dress with a slit up the side, strappy sandals..."

Evelyn cut him off, "I'm Evelyn."

George looked at Meredith and Cristina a look of realisation dawning on his face,  "Now you think I'm gay."

"Uh-huh." Cristina nodded, walking away. 

Evelyn began to finish  up at her cubby, and turned to George, who was still rambling.

"No, I'm not gay, it's, ah, it's just that, you know, you were, I mean, you were very, unforgettable."

",O'Malley, Yang, Grey, Stevens, Sloan."

The five names that were called look up and begin follow behind the doctor, Evelyn hung back slightly before turning to George. "It's okay, y'know?"

"What is?" He asked confused.

"If you were gay, Times are changing and I support you 100%"

George frowned, "I'm not gay."

"Okay." Evelyn shrugged, "just if you were, it'd be okay." With that she hurried towards the three women who were walking in front of her.
