~GRACE~

It was here, the day I became an intern. I walked in the hospital and saw Bailey coming towards me

Me: Hey

Bailey: Okay Grace i don't want it to be awkward we are best friends and we are never getting in a fight like this again we come from a long line of best friends

Me: You're so confusing

Bailey: I don't care

Me: I hate you

I gave him a hug and put my arm around his shoulders

Me: We're real interns today

Bailey: Yes

Stella: Who's ready for this?

Me: I've been ready my whole life, I've you met my mom? I really wanna cut someone open

Stella: We are going to cut people open, it's our job now

Me: Yeah, I'm kinda nervous tho, I don't want anyone to know who my parents are

Lucas: Your last name is the last name of the chief of surgery

Me: Whatever at least I don't have my mom's name it would be so obvious

Lucas: I'm good with people knowing who I am

Stella: No she's right everyone's gonna say we got the surgeries because we're the attending's kids, let's keep our identities hidden

Bailey: Okay we need to go

We all went to the conference room, everyone was standing and Dr. Bailey was standing there

Miranda: I'm Dr. Bailey the chief of general surgery. A month ago you were in med school being taught by doctors. Today, you are the doctors. 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. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Five of you will crack under the pressure and two of your will be asked to leave. This is your starting line. This is your arena. How well you play? That's up to you. You will be directed by Dr. Kepner here to the intern's locker room and will be assigned to your residents

We all followed April to the locker room, got our name tags, our lab coats, and our scrubs. Then a man came in a started calling names

Man: Bolton, Dixon, Green, Hunt, Mickaels and Shepherd you're with Jones

Me: We have Tuck nice

Stella: Yeah and we're all together

Man: Butler, Coleman, Gomez, Mills, Palmer, and Swift

Me: Oh my god my dad was right

Bailey: About what?

Me: They said Mills, it's Rachel Mills the girl who's mom was a plastics attending here, she killed herself

Lucas: Oh my god I remember her

Tuck: I'm Dr. Jones, I'm gonna be your resident for this year, so let me guess: Hunt, Green, Shepherd, Dixon, Bolton and Mickaels

Ethan: It's the opposite I'm Mickaels

Tuck: Oh I'm sorry, so I have five rules. Memorize them. Rule number one: Don't bother sucking up. I already hate you. That's not gonna change. Trauma protocol, phone list, pagers. Nurses will page you, you answer every page at a run. A run! That's rule number two. Your first shift starts now and lasts 48 hours. You're interns, grunts, nobodies, bottom of the surgical food chain. You run labs, write orders, work every second night until you drop, and don't complain! On-call rooms. hog them. Sleep when you can where you can, which brings me to rule number three. If I'm sleeping, don't wake me unless your patient is actually dying. Rule number four: The dying patient better not be dead when I get there. Not only will you have killed someone, you would have woke me for no good reason. Last rule, when I move you move. We clear? Hunt, you are in the ER, Shepherd you're with Karev, Green with Dr. Warren, Lucas with Dr. Wilson, Bolton you are with Yang and Mickaels..you're on SCUT
