The Dental Student

C i n c o

I followed Dr. Clemens to his personal exam room in the back of the clinic.

I groaned and went to sit in the dreaded dentists chair.

Dr. Clemens hopped onto his dentist rolly chair (those chairs freak me and make me cringe so much) and rolled over to his computer, typing something into his computer.

He took the most uncomfortable x-rays ever and then analyzed them, while I just anxiously sat in the chair.

"Well it seems that the cavity has gone down pretty far and close to the root, but it's not in need of a root canal, which is good for you." Dr. Clemens said which made me let out a little sigh of relief.

"If you had to pick between, Noah, Alexander, Elijah, or Rylee, which one would you pick?" Dr. Clemens asked for some reason.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Because I'm going to need help, so which one are you most comfortable with? Choose quick, or I'll choose." My professor asked me which one of my fellow classmates I want to have help him in my awful teeth.

None of them, i don't want them to see me vulnerable and scared. But if I had to pick one, I guess I would pick Noah, he's super smart and hot.

"Noah." I mumbled as Dr. Clemens walked out the door to go fetch him.

I started to pick at my fingernails, becuase I've already pulled all of my hangnails and made them bleed.

Dr. Clemens walked in the room with Noah close behind. Why did I have to pick the hottest dental student to help.

I think Noah was shocked to see me in the dentist' chair but I didn't care, I just decided to ignore it. 

Dr. Clemens and Noah both washed their hands. They snapped on a pair of gloves, making me cringe and tied masks around their faces, making them look more like dentists than people, and I hated it.

Noah leaned the chair back to make it from the 180 angle, I think I saw him smiling through the mask, but I just ignored it, as my nerves were starting to settle in.

Dr. Clemens ripped open a pack of tools, along with getting the foreboding drill and a few numbing needles.

I tried my hardest to not look at the drill or the needles, but they were both huge and intimidating.

Thankfully, Noah saw I was getting overwhelmed and rolled his chair to be in front of them so that I wouldn't look at them while Dr. Clemens was getting ready. He's going to be a great dentist, he already knows how to help with nerves and he is always so kind.

Dr. Clemens rolled his chair closer to the dentists chair, making Noah move to the other side of me.

"Ok, Ms. Samuels, open wide please." Dr. Clemens asked, as I slowly opened my mouth and I began to close my eyes from fear of not wanting to see the needle or drill.

However, when I felt two sets of fingers open my mouth wider, I opened my eyes and saw Noah's emerald eyes meet mine, instead of him looking at my teeth, like he was supposed to, he watched my eyes as I got lost in his. I was lost in Noah's eyes until I felt a cotton ball with numbing gel touch my gums, realizing that the needle was coming up, and I came back to reality.
