"But in seriousness, you wouldn't happen to have a cavity, would you? I mean, it has been awhile since you've had a cleaning and an exam." Noah suggested, completely forgetting about the fact that I have a hard time dealing with dental procedures being done to me.

"You have got to be kidding me. What about the very first time you asked me out, do you remember that? Do you remember me freaking the freak out? I'm sorry, but I don't really don't wanna go back into that situation." I said solemnly, hoping he would just drop it.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. But you do need to get a cleaning soon. I'm going to go sign up for appointment times for us and then I'll be right back." He said before kissing me on the cheek and heading down to the very crowded sign up sheet.

I watched the chaos from afar, happy to not be in it.

Although, my eyes shifted to someone walking up the stairs, to my left.

"Dr. Clemens?" I asked as he came and sat down next to me, watching the chaos occur.

"Shhh. So you're all good to continue your studies?" He asked me in a whisper.

"Yeah. They cleared me to go back to school for a week. And then I have another surgery. And then I should be completely cleared, except for—" "I don't need your whole life story, I was just wondering if you're okay." Dr. Clemens said, interrupting me.

I just nodded my head in response.

"Okay, well you missed some lectures and demonstrations, but nothing you can't make up with studying and notes." Dr. Clemens mentioned before getting up and leaving, seeing that the chaos calmed down.

I cringed at the fact that he said demonstrations, because in other words he means torture methods to show procedures to his lectures.

Not long after, I spotted Noah headed back up to the stairs.

"You have to find a patient by Wednesday at 2. And I have to find a patient by Wednesday at 1:30. So I think we should just check each other's teeth at the uni's dental office or at your uncle's office, just somewhere where we can check each other for cavities, before we go finding random patients." Noah suggested right before Dr. Clemens walked up to his podium ready to speak.

"The sign up sheet is now full, those of you that didn't get on it or don't show up to the appointment with a patient who needs a filling and cleaning, have the exam on Friday. No more classes the rest of the week, I will see those of you throughout the week and the rest on Friday. Show up to your appointment 15 minutes before your assigned time. Don't be late. Class is dismissed. Good luck." Dr. Clemens addressed the lecture hall before packing everything up and leaving.

The lecture hall immediately got out of their seats and flooded the hallways, going to find a patient or study for the exam.

"I guess I'll call my uncle." I suggested as Noah and I slowly left the lecture hall.

I grabbed my phone and saw a missed call and voicemail from the Chief, that's weird.

"Noah, we need to stop by the hospital first."

Well hello there!!

What is up, readers?

Finally, we get back into the swing of things with the final dental exams coming up!!

Who's excited?!?

Random thought, would anybody be interested in a character list, like you know where you use actors for your characters. Let me know, I'm just curious if anybody ever uses the references for imagery purposes.

Thanks for reading, commenting, and voting!!

Have a fantabulous day.
