Chapter 2
It was Saturday, and House still hadn't hired anybody. His other three fellows, Dr. Allison Cameron, Dr. Robert Chase, and Dr. Eric Foreman were stuck at the brainstorming table in his office, along with Dr. Cuddy. Dr. Cuddy had a smile on her face, knowing she had probably won. There was only one person left. House would probably make up some lame excuse that her hair was too long or something, just to turn her away. However, he might not, knowing Dr. Cuddy would pick for him, and then he would have somebody new to insult, but not the right person.
"NEXT!" House yelled out the door that was being held open by a wooden doorstop. A woman entered. She was wearing a blue T-shirt, the perfect length, so he couldn't say too much cleavage. Her skirt was also the right length, right above her knees. She wore a shoe with only a small heel, and it wasn't pointy at all. It was comfortable to her.
Everybody stared at the woman that stood before them. "My name is Amy Burke." She said with a grin. She was 28, about Dr. Chase's age. She was also beautiful. She then answered every question that House gave her without fear of the hard stare she was getting from House. "You start tomorrow." House said. Dr. Cuddy had to frown at that one, knowing she almost won, but soon grinned again as she shook Amy's hand. "Watch out for House, he says lots of rude and insulting things." Dr. Cuddy whispered into Amy's ear. House mad a face at Dr. Cuddy.

Soon, the day ended and Sunday began. Dr. Burke was there bright and early, catching up on a book while waiting for the others to arrive. Dr. Cameron and Dr. Chase entered next, and Dr. Cameron started to make House's coffee like always. Dr. Chase sat down next to Dr. Burke. Dr. Foreman walked in next; aggravated that House wasn't here yet. Dr. Cuddy had been in her office since 5:00
A bit later, House strolled in and dumped his stuff by his desk. Dr. Cameron brought him his coffee, and the day officially began. House didn't have clinic duty, but the fellows still did. They walked out without a word, Dr. Chase and Dr. Burke in the back, for he was showing her to the clinic himself.
It was a day like any other in the clinic. They were wiping noses and prescribing pills for things like ear infections and other boring things. Dr. Cameron grabbed a file and headed to a room, about to call in a patient. She looked in the room through what was open, about to open it all the way. She couldn't stand what she saw. Dr. Chase and Dr. Burke were kissing each other, and reaching to take each other's shirts off. Dr. Cameron frowned. She and Dr. Chase did the exact same thing at his house last night! How could he?
Dr. Cameron slammed the patient's file on the nurse's station desk, causing all the nurses to jump and look at her. They all knew Dr. Cameron had a sweet disposition, so what made her so angry? They didn't have time to ask because she stormed out of the clinic. Dr. Foreman saw her, but decided to let her be.
She was wandering around the halls, wondering what she should do. Should she go to House? That raced through her mind, but soon left it, realizing he'd just nag and tease. Maybe she should go to Dr. Cuddy? She'd yell at them, and try to be very sympathetic, but she didn't really want to see her right now either. She soon slumped down against a wall, not remembering it was right across from Dr. Cuddy's office. She let the tears come down her face in streams. Soon, she heard high-heels hitting the floor. Dr. Cameron looked to see Dr. Cuddy returning from a meeting. Dr. Cuddy had noticed Dr. Cameron crying and was heading toward her. 'Damn, how do I escape this one?' Dr. Cameron thought to herself.
