Chris's POV

I'm sitting at the front desk of the hospital taking calls. My dad is the head of the ER department, so naturally he wants me to go into a medical career as well. I don't mind because I've always had a propensity for medicine anyway. It runs in our blood. We've been doctors for centuries.

Ring ring! I pick up the phone. "Hello Glen Woods hospital speaking." I say. "Chris, we're bringing in a code blue. Have the team ready!" He hangs up. Oh hell. Code blue means that someone is having a dangerous seizure.

I grab the intercom. "Attention staff members. Code blue coming in hot! Be on stand by, now!" I type up a report and send it out to everyone's pagers.

"The patient is a seventeen year old female, brown hair, blue eyes." The EMT says as they roll her in on the gurney.

"Oh please help her, please!" The mother cries. "We're trying ma'am, What's her name?" "Veronica King."
Oh my god.
I hop up from my chair and start running next to her. She's still in the seizure and foam is coming out her mouth. She also has red blotches on her face. I can't believe this is the popular and flawless Veronica King everyone knows and loves. I bet no one knows about this. I have to help her.

"What can I do?" "Go hook up an IV and attach a pack of morphine to it in the blue room." I run as fast as I can. I hook it up easily with my expert hands, grab it and run. I go to her room. "Okay, I got it!" "Alright, now I'm going to stab this needle into her. The medicine in it will cause her body to stop shaking. As soon as I'm done, attach the IV quickly. It will ease a lot of the pain." I nod. "Okay, on my count. One...two...three!" He jams the needle into her. Her body starts to slow immediately. He removes the needle. "Chris, now!" I attach the the IV and start the morphine drip. "Great job folks, she'll be fine." I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding.

Everyone walks out except for her mom. I decide to stay and wait for her to wake up.

"May I help you?" Mrs.King asks wearily. I can look intimidating with me being six foot seven and Black. "Oh sorry, I'm Chris Williams. My dads the department head." I shake her hand. "Nice to meet you, I'm Wanda King. This is my daughter, Veronica." She motions to her sleeping daughter. "I know, we go to school together." She smiles. "That's great, she needs to be around intelligent people such as yourself." I blush. "Aww. Thank you ma'am." "Please, call me Wanda." She winks playfully. "Okay, Wanda."

She is something else.

Veronica's POV

  All I see is darkness. I don't know what's going on. I feel so fatigued, like I just ran a marathon. I open my eyes and the sight shocks me. My mom is talking to the school golden boy. Chris Williams. He's wearing blue scrubs. I look around and realize I'm in the hospital. I touch my face. Oh my god. I'm not wearing any makeup! He's seen my ugly face.

  "Hey, you're awake." He says. "Oh my god, baby!" Mom holds me in her arms. "You scared me child. How are you feeling?" I smile. "Honestly, I feel like I'm on cloud nine. I feel so free and relaxed."

"It's probably the morphine you're on. It's strong stuff." Chris laughs. His laugh is so cute... What am I thinking, he's just a stupid nerd! I look at my arm. I have an IV in it. "Oh, right." I say awkwardly.
