7 HOURS INTO HER FIRST SHIFT, Delilah finds herself walking to the cafeteria. She really did not want to eat any hospital food, so the 21-year-old brought her own lunch. Sitting down at a table with her fellow interns, she watches the former model and puppy boy talk.
"This shift is a marathon, not a sprint. Eat," George advises, placing his tray down.
"I can't," she tells him, looking at her food in horror.
"You should really eat something. Here, you can have my granola bar," Delilah pipes up, pulling out a Honey Nut Bar from her pocket. Yes, honey nut. It's the best granola flavour out there.
"No, thank you. You try eating after performing seventeen rectal exams. The Nazi hates me," Izzie says dejectedly.
"The Nazi's a resident. I have attendings hating me," George tells the blonde in an attempt to make her feel better.
"Hey! Nobody is hating on anybody. They're our superiors, it's basically in their job descriptions to be harsh on us. Besides, it's only the first day. We all have plenty of time to redeem ourselves," the youngest inter chirps, flashing them her award-winning smile. Her fellow interns just stare at her nodding before Christina offers her two cents.
"You know Meredith is inbred?" she asks.
"Like it's uncommon around here to be a doctor's-"
"No! I mean royally inbred. Her mother is Ellis Grey," the Asian woman cuts in.
"Shut up, the Ellis Grey?" Izzie says in shock. Delilah just shakes her head. Ellis Grey is extraordinary. I would kill to be her, sans the shit parent bit. At least Mer had my parents growing up.
"Who's Ellis Grey?" Puppy boy asks. The three women laugh at him, wondering how he doesn't know of quite possibly the face of General Surgery. What a legacy to live up to, Mer. Wouldn't want to be in the same- never mind.
"The Grey method? Where'd you go to med school, Mexico?" Christina questions him, albeit a little rudely.
"She was one of the first big chick surgeons, she practically invented the abdominal-"
"She's a living legend, she won the Harper Avery. Twice!"
"So I didn't know one thing," George huffs. Oh dear, you really are lost, aren't you? You sweet naïve little puppy.
"Talk about parental pressure," Izzie goes on.
"I would kill to have Ellis Grey as a mother. I would kill to be Ellis Grey," Christina adds, "All I need is one good case."
The sound of a lunch tray smacking onto the table pulls the group of interns out of their silly little daydreams. Delilah looks over to see her favourite dirty blonde, who currently looks like she could kill someone.
