I realise that a lot of the words I am using are British, but then I am British so if it takes away from the story then sorry but then again it is only fiction :D
This chapter is a couple of days after the previous one on their first day of classes
All mistakes are my own and I own nothing etc
Chapter 4: Start of Term
Callie's POV
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
I groggily open my eyes and look at the clock. Ugh 6am. My first class is at 9am and I really don't want to be late so I'm forcing myself out of bed. I go to the bathroom and put on my music on but not too loud to wake up Mark and Addie but luckily my room is the closest bathroom so I can get away with singing along. I get into the shower and start to sing along to my shower playlist and the next thing I'm aware of is a loud banging on the door followed by Mark's shouting through the door "Yo Torres! Hurry up! As much as I am enjoying your shower singing, I really need to use the shower so get out before you use all the hot water!"
"I'll be out in a tick" I shout back.
I wrap myself in a fluffy towel and check the time and realise I have been in the shower for almost half an hour. I love long showers, even though I am naked they relax me and afterwards I feel a sense of calm wash over my body and my mind is cleared.
I leave the bathroom, letting Mark know the shower is free and then stand in front of my wardrobe. I stand, wrapped in a towel, staring at my clothes. A sense of anxiety starts building over what to wear. It is still reasonably warm from the summer so I know I can't get away with a hoodie and jeans but I don't want to wear shorts or a vest top. I settle on a deep purple bra and tuck myself into my pants and put on a pair of ripped black boyfriend jeans as I shaved my legs this morning and feel confident enough to as well as a short sleeved black t-shirt with a small dinosaur on the chest pocket. I dry my hair and style it, trying to make it look as feminine as possible. Now that I've left home I can't wait to grow my hair out and luckily my hair grows quickly. I can't wait to have hair that falls past my shoulders; I've been dreaming about it since I was young and the prospect of being able to finally do it makes my heart skip a beat.
Addie knocks on my door "Callie? Are you decent?"
"Yeah"
Addie sticks her head round my bedroom door "Looking good Callie. Are you ready for breakfast? If you're up for it could you make your pancakes? Please?"
"Sure thing Ads, just let me put on some make up and I'll be down"
"Thanks Callie, you're the best!"
I laugh to myself as Addie leaves the room. I love cooking and find it therapeutic and I'm glad that Addie and Mark enjoy my food because it gives me an excuse to do lots. I sit in front of the mirror and apply some light make up. When I feel happy with my appearance I head downstairs to start the pancakes.
Mark comes into the kitchen as I am cooking the pancakes "Ooh yum pancakes! Good thinking they're just want I need to get myself through the morning" He comes up behind me and tries to take one from the plate of cooked ones.
"Oh no you don't Sloan go sit you ass down" I playfully slap his hand with the fish slice to stop him from taking some.
"SHIT! That's really fucking hot Torres!"
"Fuck sorry Mark I didn't realise it would be that hot. What are you standing there for idiot?! Go run you hand under the tap"
Mark goes to run his hand under the tap muttering under his breath that he's not the idiot, I am because I burnt his hand. I just chuckle at him and continue making the pancakes.
"What the hell is going on in here guys?" Addie asks as she walks into the room.
"Callie burnt my hand with the fish slice and now it's going to leave a print" Mark pouts from the sink.
"Well it'll teach you for trying to take the food before it is ready" I smirk at Mark.
I stare up at the building and look at Addie and smile confidently "Let's go and kick some butt"
"That's the right attitude Callie!" Addie squeezes my arm and smiles at me.
The three of us walk through the door and walk down the hall until we are stopped by Arizona and Teddy running after us "Hey guys! Wait up!" Teddy calls after us.
"Hello there ladies" Mark says, "You ready to start your journey to become doctors?"
"Hell yeah, we were born ready" Teddy replies.
The five of us head to the lecture hall and I am really glad that we got here early because the thought of walking into the lecture hall with hundreds of eyes staring at me, terrifies the crap out of me.
We sit in the near the aisle near the middle of the bunch of seats and I end up sitting next to Arizona. I'm excited to get to know more about the blonde but being so close to her makes me nervous. Her scent is intoxicating and fills my nose and I know that I am going to find it hard to focus on what the lecturer is going to say.
Doctor Webber walks into the classroom and a hush falls over the room.
"Welcome to molecules, cells and diseases" Doctor Webber says, "Pay attention because this module is important and at the end you will have to do a presentation in pairs as well as an exam"
I gulp. Addie looks at me and holds my hand under the desk, squeezing slightly. She knows how much I hate public speaking. During school I had to do a presentation and I threw up on stage because I hate being the centre of attention.
Arizona obviously senses my shift in mood "Are you ok Callie?"
"Yeah, just really hate public speaking so I am dreading that" I'm nervous even voicing my fears, especially to Arizona. But there is something about her that makes me want to open up to her.
She squeezes my arm and electricity spikes through my body. "If you want I can help with practicing? I don't mind public speaking so if I can help in anyway then I'd be glad to help"
"I might take you up on that offer, thank you Arizona" I smile at her. Maybe something positive will come out of the dreaded presentation.
As the lecture continues, my excitement builds because I know I am getting closer to my dream of becoming
"Right, I have paired you up for your presentations so I am expecting you to get together and start working on your presentations soon to avoid a mad panic at the end. Before you leave check the lists at the front to see who I have paired you with and get in touch with them"
The five of us let the majority of people leave so it's easier to see the sheets and head down.
"Hey I'm with you Teddy" Addie smiles
"Yay, this is going to be so much fun!"
"Yo blondie looks like we are going to be spending time together" Mark flirts.
"Stop acting like that Mark and we will get on just fine"
"Ugh that's not fair, how come you guys are so lucky to be working together?"
"Who do you have Callie?" Addison asks.
"Erica Hahn? No clue who she is but I should probably find her on social media. Hopefully she's going to pull her weight on this presentation; I'm shitting myself enough as it is"
We all head out and head to a coffee shop that is around the corner from the university and sit down with our drinks.
"Hey Callie, get out your phone and let's try to find out who this Erica woman is" Mark smirks "Maybe she's really hot" Addie slaps Mark
"Oh Mark, what the hell happened to your hand? Did you get swatted for being a sex pest?" Teddy laughs
"Not this time, he tried to eat pancakes before they were ready and I burnt his hand by accident"
Arizona laughs "If I'd known you were making pancakes I would have got up and come over to have some, I love pancakes!"
"That's true, I have never seen anything like Arizona eating pancakes. She can hoover a while pile in no time at all"
"Teddy!" Arizona's cheeks redden "You're exaggerating! But I do love pancakes"
"You should come over the next time Callie makes them" Addie jumps in. "You too Teddy"
"Ooh thank you! I can't wait" Arizona smiles and I can feel my heart starts to race.
"Anyway, get out your phone Torres and let's find Erica" Mark lunges for my phone. I swat his hand away and hit where I burnt it.
"OUCH!" Mark quickly removes his hand
"Then get off my phone Sloan" I smile at him. I get my phone out of my pocket and search for Erica Hahn on Facebook. "Think I've found her guys"
Addie grabs my phone "Let's look through her profile. Ooh Callie, she likes some of the music you do"
"What does she look like?" Mark knows not to grab my phone again but Addie turns around my phone and shows them Erica.
"Ooh she's pretty cute Callie" Mark winks at me then obviously remembers that Addie told him not to try to set me up.
"Anyway... I'll add her and send her a message later"
Arizona's POV
"Ooh she's pretty cute Callie" says Mark and winks at Callie. I hold my breath. Maybe she does like women. I try not to get too excited because I know Teddy will tease me. I don't know what it is about Callie that draws me to her. She's nothing like previous partners I've had, they have been really confident, have been almost the opposite in Callie in looks and it confuses me. But around her I feel like a moth drawn to a flame.
"Ladies" Mark pipes up "What do you think of the five of us hosting a party to try to get to know some people on our course by hosting a party. Have some drinks, some snacks, some music?"
"Mark, you just want to try and get laid don't lie. But that doesn't seem like a bad idea, I love a party" Addie joins in enthusiastically.
"Ooh yeah, sounds good right Arizona?" Teddy asks
"Yeah sure, but no trashing either of our houses, well don't trash ours or I will hunt you down and kill you Sloan"
"Don't worry" Callie says "I'll kill him first"
I chuckle at Callie's comment "When were you thinking of having this party Sloan?"
"Um, maybe the weekend? Gives us enough time to invite people and get drink and food"
I'm excited at the prospect of a party, slightly worried that it'll get out of hand but the thought of dancing with pretty girls makes me excited, especially if that pretty girl is Callie.
Party time next! Whoop whoop!
Going to try to update two times a week (but don't kill me if I can't stick to it!) and my current plan is Tuesdays and Fridays but that might change. I might also try write some new stories as well as this one, especially as it is the summer holidays (: Basically, I'll update when I can
For future reference, opinions on smut in this story?
