First day. Ok just worry about the patients and get through the day. Don't need to worry about anyone but the patients. It only ends bad when you worry about other people. Especially people you work with and end up in a relationship with because it just….. "Ah! Shit!" Charts go flying, coffees spilt everywhere. "crap!" We both end up in a heap of coffee and charts on the floor.

We stare at each other for a while until she, the stunningly beautiful girl, on the floor next to me finds her words, "Um hey.. I'm Callie Torres. I've never seen you here before. You an intern?" I laughed, "Arizona Robbins, and no I just transferred from Mercy West. I'm the new Pediatric attending." "Ortho." Callie says as she looks at her watch, "ah crap I'm late," as she quickly stands up. She holds out a hand to help me up, "I have a surgery…. five min ago and now I have to go change, so I'll see you around I guess? I stuttered to say sorry, yes and goodbye all in the same sentence. Callie looked back as she walked away giving me a flirty little smirk.

Did that just happen? Did she just smile like that at me? God I feel so bad for spilling coffee on her making her late for surgery! I shouldn't have been so worried about everything and should have been paying attention. Not that it was a bad thing... Ah crap I already have a crush. Fuck. I knew I should have just stayed a hermit at home.

Deep down I know I was into girls but never admit it until Noel finally gave in one night and just kissed me. It made me realize so much more about my life and who I was. That is when my first real relationship began. While she worked in Cardio at Mercy West, and me in Peds, I think we saw each other too often. Seeing her at work and knowing we were together and no one else did, always made me always feel awkward especially when we were in surgery together. Noel then decided that our relationship wasn't going where she thought it was and she bailed, leaving me feeling completely heartbroken. I became a hermit and watched sad romance movies and never left my apartment. It was good for a while but I started missing cutting and the rush of saving a kid or just seeing a kid with a dream of getting better brought a smile to my face. So I decided to transfer to Seattle Grace.

I just stood there and watched 'Callie' walk away and getting lost in my own thoughts… "Stare much?" a guy's voice said from behind here. "Huh? Oh uh no just thinking" "mhmm she's good, don't worry" says Karev. "Uh what oh uh no that's uh not um what I was uh thinking. Who the he'll are you?" "Alex Karev, your best resident," he said with a smirk, "and since I guess you're on the other team I may need to switch specialties."

"Is it really that obvious?" I whispered. Karev just nodded with a smirk on his face as he gave me the chart of a 6 yr old girl with a broken femur among others from a massive fall off her parent's roof. She also had massive facial injuries that would need surgery to repair. "She's is psych right now. Pretty sure she jumped on purpose, crazy stupid kid. She's freaking six," he said as he walked away.

Being a pediatric surgeon is hard but rewarding very rewarding at the same time. I am damn good at my job and have been decently successful in saving lives, but there are always those losses that hurt you the most.
First day and I get a suicidal 6 year old. Awesome.

I called for plastics to check on her facial lacerations, and an ortho consult to help me find the proper treatment for her femur and other bones that had been injured. Since I was still new to this hospital I figured it was a good idea to have some other opinions.

"Who called the double duo to service?" someone said behind me. Oh great a funny guy I thought. I turned tring to looking amused by his joke. What I saw was a tall handsome older guy and the girl I ran into earlier.

Why didn't I think about that when I called ortho? Isn't there anyone else? Great….it's going to be an interesting first day.

"hey…again, without coffee all over this time," she said. I giggled, embarrassed, but continued to look at her. She just smiled back at me staring at me as much as I was staring at her. "What am I over here, chopped liver? Aren't you even going to introduce me since you apparently know each other already?" Callie starts to cover the awkward staring contest we were having. "Oh ya, This smart ass over here is Mark Sloan, head of plastics." "DR. Mark Sloan and it's a pleasure to meet you, beautiful" as he attempted to kiss my already glove covered hand like I was royalty or something. "Cut it out Mark!" said Callie as she slapped him in the back of his head "Ow! What did you do that for?" "'cause you were being rude to the hott new Peds surgeon! Now grow up and act like you are not 12."

I just stood... Not knowing what to do or say. "Ok fine" he said, just like he actually was twelve and she was his mother. Then he turned to me, "And now what is your name since I was smacked over the head (glaring at Torres) before I could ask." I just stood there for a minute stunned at Callie's comment about the HOTT new surgeon. Mark gave me a very confused look which prompted me to find some words to say. "Robbins... Dr. Uh Arizona Dr Robbins" I stuttered.

What the hell just happened to my words... Why could I not say my own name?

I heard Mark mumble something about me but ignored it since I was so confused at what had just happened. "I um need a consult on Ruby Steele nasty fall off her roof. Broke her femur among others and took a nice chunk out of her face." They both looked at the x-rays and photos of her face both tilting their heads the same direction as they both pondered.

Where the hell am I? These two are insane!

"When do we start?" Mark asked. "um 2 hours for plastic 30 minutes for ortho? We are waiting for her mom to arrive from Portland," I said. "Alright see ya then Blondie" He said. "Bye Arizona" was all that Callie said quietly as they strolled down the hall like they were royalty. Maybe here they were but it didn't seem right. Something was off.

The surgery started off great. Callie came in and fixed up her femur while being careful not to make anything worse. With as many bones as she had broken she had to be very careful. The way she worked it was so graceful. It was like she knew every bone inside and out.

Well she should she's an ortho surgeon duh Arizona. Am I staring again. Shit I gotta stop staring. People are starting to notice. Ugh this is not a very good first day.

Just then Mark strolled into the room and the atmosphere shifted. Yes he was very good precise surgeon and very good at what he did, but the room became so tense when he walked in. It seemed like everyone was afraid of him or he did something unacceptable. Except for Callie who flirted back and forth with him like they were an old married couple.

Oh gosh they are together. Great. So much for even thinking about that being a possiblitiy. Wait isn't that why I got away from Mercy West? To get away from relationship issues? Fuck now I'm already feeling jealous about someone I just met and don't know anything about at all.

The surgery finally ended and we all walked to the scrub room to scrub out. They continued to talk and flirt and it was starting to get annoying. I just stayed silent and washed my hand very thoroughly. I'm kind of a clean freak needing to be very meticulous about scrubbing in and out. They finished so fast like they had something they were going to be late for, when Mark decided to say something to me.

"Jeez Robbins don't miss a spot. Your hands are going to be cleaner than a babies bottom" as he laughed and looked at my already clean hands, that in my opinion where only halfway clean. Callie proceeded to slap him again, on his upper arm this time. "Shut up! Mark lets go" as pushed him out of the room but before she exited she turned and said a soft "Good surgery today, Arizona. See you later…?" The door then slowly closed as she left. I stood….

Wondering….ugh she's so sweet too. What the hell am i going to….and was that a question? Like she was asking if she was going to see me later or not or…

"God Robbins first day and your already obviously going crazy about her," Karev said from behind me. I didn't even realize he was in the surgery. "What?" "You've been staring at her since the second you saw her." Karev said. "I don't even know her. She's just nice to look at I guess. A new eye candy I wasn't expecting." Karev just laughed "That eye candy ain't just eye candy babe." "Don't even try to hit on me, and you better not call me babe again or I'll kick you off my service and send you back to the clinic because I hear you really LOVE it down there!"

"Dude just chill. You should just ask her out, then you can get to know her and have her help you loosen up a little." Whatever Karev. She doesn't seem like my type" I said with a sad look on my face. Wait did I just come out to Karev? "She's 'you're' type and mine so you got a chance at least if that makes you feel any better," he said with no emotion.

Great. It's a possibility. I would have been better off knowing she was with Mark so then I could be in love from a far. Shit. Crazy about her? Ah hell, Not yet. Not now. Ugh…..

"Robbins?" Karev said to pull me out of the trance of thought I was in. "Ya… ya what do you need?" I said annoyed. "I'm going to go check on the patient and tell the parents that it went well. You go and sit down. You look like you're going to pass out."

So much for an easy carefree first day.
