Surgery. It's like a game, either you have what it takes or you don't. I always like to think I have what it takes, but in reality, I'm kind of screwed.

Who am I you ask. I am Massie Block and today I start my career as a surgeon.

BUUUUUUZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

Massie's alarm rang from its spot on her nightstand. She slowly lifted her head off her pillow, still groggy with sleep, and reached over to turn it off. Opening one eye and checking the time, 6:30 blinked back at her. 'Shit I only have a half hour to be there! Why didn't Claire and Kristen wake me?' Looking back over to her nightstand, she noticed a note.

'Hey Sleeping Beauty,

Kristen and I left without you since somebody just wouldn't wake up.

Love, Claire

PS: I'm SO getting that first surgery!'

"I'm so going to kill her." Quickly tossing the covers off, Massie ran to the bathroom and headed for the shower. After taking the fastest shower she's ever had, she quickly got dressed and ran around gathering everything she would need. In the process of rushing to get ready, Massie realized she misplaced her keys. After what felt like forever, she finally found them in the bowl of fruit, wondering how they even got there in the first place. Seeing as time was running out, she didn't question it for too long and instead ran out to her car.

Getting in and putting her keys in the ignition and her hands on the steering wheel, she then sighed deeply and put her head down on the wheel.

"I just forgot everything I need." Leaving the car running, Massie sprinted back inside like she was running away from the bad guy in a horror movie.

Like I said, I'm kinda screwed.

After locking the house back up, she ran back out to her car, carelessly throwing her stuff into the passenger seat, and took off. She really hoped she wouldn't hit traffic on the way to the hospital. Luckily for her, the drive there was smooth sailing with not a sign of traffic insight.

It wasn't long before Massie was pulling into the hospital parking lot. Finding a decent enough parking spot, she gathering what she needed, making sure to not forget anything again, and power walked across the lot. Looking down at her phone as she walked, she saw the white numbers say 7:00. Right on time.

When Massie reached the doors to the hospital she stopped and took a deep breath.

'Well here it goes, once I walk through these doors I become a surgeon.' Taking one last deep breath, she walked through the doors of Westchester Hospital.

Once inside, Massie briefly stopped to take in her surroundings. She's finally here; ready to be a surgeon and one of the best hospitals in the country. She lets herself smile a little before noticing Claire, Alicia, and Kristen standing in a small group near what she assumed were the rest of the interns.

Remembering the lovely, little note from this morning, Massie walked over to them. When she reached the girls she stood in front of Claire and Kristen, arms crossed, and a joking glare on her face, mostly directed at Claire.

"Really?...Really?" She feigned disappointment and shook her head at them. Kristen let out her phlegmy laugh and Claire smirked at her and stuck out her tongue. Alicia raised her eyebrow at the scene in front of her, but over the years, she's learned not to question these things.

After a final small laugh, Massie spoke up again, "So what are we waiting for?" She was finally here as a surgical intern, she wanted to do something not just stand around all day.

"We're waiting for our bosses to arrive and then they're going to split us up into groups of interns." Alicia informed her, finally seeming to find her voice since Massie arrived.

"Well, let's hope these bosses of ours are hot." Massie raised her eyebrow and smirked. The girls all looked at each other before breaking down in giggles.

You see the thing about games is, always expect the unexpected.

Dressed in their dark blue scrubs and white lab coats, Derrick Harrington and Cameron Fisher walked down the halls of Westchester Hospital.

"I just don't understand why they are making us look after the Interns," Cam started, disgust etched on his face, "Interns are nothing but trouble, they're young and stupid." He finished, momentarily having a flashback to what happened with last year's interns.

Derrick sighed, "Well I wouldn't say stupid, just inexperienced." 'Which is the truth. They're fresh out of medical school and never preformed a single surgery'. He thought while stopping by a nurse's station to pick up the files on the new interns. He handed Cam the folder with the information on his group of interns.

Cam reluctantly reached his hand out for the folder, not even bothering to give it a second glance, and prayed that nothing catastrophic would happen this year. Derrick gave Cam a look that told him to keep and open mind, but he just shook his head at Derrick.

Derrick could only sigh at Cam's pessimistic attitude, "I already know your answer to this, but I'll ask anyway, are you ready to meet the new interns?" He half smiled at Cam, trying to shake him out of his negative state, but only received a glare from Cam.

Shaking his head, Derrick started walking towards the double doors leading into the lobby containing this year's interns. With a slightly sour looking Cam lagging behind him, he pushed open the doors, and soon had dozens of eyes staring back at him.

Quickly scanning the new faces in the room and seeing he had everyone's attention, he began, " "The next seven years you spend here as a surgical resident will be the best and worst years of your life. Some of you will be pushed to your breaking point. Some of you will quit. This is your starting point. Today you are surgeons. Look around at the people standing next to you. This is your competition. Eight of you will switch to an easier specialty. Four of you will crack under the pressure and two of you will be asked to leave," Derrick could hear Cam give a sarcastic laugh under his breath at his small reference to what went down last year.

"Surgery is like a game and your game starts now. How well will you play? Well that's up to you. Now before we get started let me introduce myself, I am Derrick Harrington and this here next to me is Cam Fisher. Some of you will be lucky enough to have us as your bosses; to work under us and to learn from us." It was then Derrick heard a faint gasp from one side of the lobby. Slightly confused, he looked in the direction it came from. What he saw made his heartbeat quicken. Staring back he saw the unmistakable amber eyes of Massie Block, a look of surprise playing on her face. Standing next to her were Claire Lyons, Kristen Gregory, and Alicia Rivera, each with the same look of surprise as Massie except Alicia, who looked as cool as a cucumber.

Swallowing down his shock, Derrick looked over at Cam whose sour look was now replaced by a look of amusement and shock. Turning away from Cam, he looked back at Massie, his eyes boring into her, and smirked.

Massie felt like a deer caught in headlights.

Like I said, always expect the unexpected.
