CHAPTER ONE
I faced myself in the bathroom mirror. My blonde hair sat on my shoulders and I combed it out, then put it in a bun. I put on a pink sweater with some blue jeans.
I ate my breakfast then left my apartment. The hospital was only two blocks down the street so I just walked to work. I had to be there at 8 and it was 7:45.
The hospital was busy that day. Ambulances were packed in line and people were rushing into the hospital. But, it is a hospital so that's kind of normal, I guess. I was the second one in the locker room. I was accompanied by a blonde girl. She was really skinny. "Hi, I'm Izzie." I greeted her by sticking my hand out.
"Oh," she said when she was brought back from her daydream. "I'm Meredith." She shook my hand I gave her a warm smile. I slipped on my light blue scrub pants and took off my sweater. A boy that looked familiar walked into the locker room with a few other guys.
"Damn, I didn't know we got to see boobs." he laughed. The other boys laughed, too, staring at me. Meredith silently watched them mock me. I rolled my eyes and put on my shirt.
Everyone else flooded into the locker room. I sat on the bench in between the lockers and started putting on my sneakers. "I heard someone is a model," a girl with curly brown hair said. "No way." Meredith said. I stayed silent, just continued tying my shoes.
It was 8:15 when the residents came in. They all started calling out their interns names. A short, dark woman said, "Grey, Yang, O'Malley, Karev, and Stevens you're on my service." I stood up from the bench and followed the fellow interns over to her.
It was Meredith, the girl with curly hair, a smaller, but handsome, guy, and the guy who laughed at me. Great crowd of people.
"I'm resident Bailey. I have five rules," Bailey said. She listed her rules, which were very strict, and gave us a tour. "Grey you'll be on. . . Shepherd's service, Yang you'll be checking on some patients, O'Malley you'll be with Burke, and Stevens and Karev will do colonoscopies,"
A colonoscopy? With Karev? No. "Dr. Bailey, may I be assigned to something else?" I asked. She turned around, stunned. "May you be assigned something else?" she repeated my question. Karev chuckled quietly.
I stood quietly. Meredith went over to Shepherd, Yang disappeared, George went with Burke, and Karev and I went to a patients room.
"Nice boobs," he said while we were walking. "Uhm, thanks?" I said. I could feel his smirk rise on his face.
"Maybe you can show-" he began but I cut him off. "I don't even know your name. I'm not an object. Man whore."
We continued walking to our patients room. "Nathaniel Davidson, 57, here for a, uhm, colonoscopy." I said, reading his charts.
Karev explained to Nathaniel what we'd do and how'd we do it. He prepped him for the exam and I nervously put on my gloves. Karev acted like it was nothing, like he'd had his hands up someone's butt before. Well, he certainly had his up mine. He was hot, I'd have to admit that, but he was a total dick.
I did the exam, Karev laughing at my nervousness. "Okay, Mr. Davidson, everything was good. You may go home." I told him when we were done.
We both left the room and started making our way to the next patient. "You can do this one." I told him before we entered the room.

By the time we finished our patients exams, I'd learned only Alex's name. He didn't talk much, like he did on the plane. We only talked when we were doing the exams and when we had to do the introductions.
We were at lunch and sat with our fellow interns. "I have to do appendectomy later," George said when he sat at the table. He rubbed his eyes nervously. I ate my salad in silence. "Well, my days been boring. Except I get to watch the blondes ass all day," Alex chuckled. I rolled my eyes at he words he said.
"My patient keeps paging me just so that she can talk about her beauty pageants, and bitch and complain." Meredith said. Cristina was reading a book about open heart surgeries. "I had to stick my hands up a mans ass today," I laughed. The whole table burst into laughter.
After lunch, Alex and I had to do more exams. We were joking and laughing about something when Alex stopped me in the middle of the hallway. "You have something," he said. "right here." he wiped away a crumb from the side of my mouth. I could feel my face turn pink. Alex was slightly embarrassed and I could tell by his facial expressions.
