A Small Change - Chapter One:

"Oh, Caitie! I can't believe you're training to be one of us!" The even more cheery Val yelled to me, bouncing onto one of her kitchen chairs. I rolled my eyes and ignored her over-preppy self.

"I told you, I've got no clue why I'm joining - I just don't feel like arguing and I sort of need a more "adventurous" life." I lyed through my teeth, I was joining to be closer to Jamie - maybe I should tell Val about my crush on Jamie.

"No way, really, why are you joining?" Val asked sipping her coffee.

I really didn't want to tell her, she wouldn't tell him... or would she?

"Val, if I tell you something, you've got to PROMISE not to tell, ANYBODY. Not even Tyler!" I got upset, I knew she was going to get it out somehow.

"I promise." She said, she looked excited, why did she want to know so much? Maybe she knew.

"Well, you see..." I hesitated. I bit my bottom lip and looked up, "I kind of, sort of, have a little crush on Jamie." I closed my eyes, hoping she wouldn't make a big deal out of it.

She let out a quiet squeal, unlike usual. "I'm not dumb. I know that. I mean, everyone can tell you two are PERFECT for eachother."

I blushed, "We are? Everyone knows? How?"

"Well, like when you and him go to the mall or something. People see you guys and assume you're going out. I mean, these days girls can't just be FRIENDS with a guy." She smiled at me and I thought about giving a witty remark, but decided against it.

"Well, anyway, more about me joining the Mr. and Ms. Overachiever Squad."

Val started talking about the worst calls and the grossest ones. Then she started talking about Jamie giving a dog mouth to mouth.


A few weeks later I ended the dreadful training and they hired me to have shifts with Val, Jamie, Tyler and Hank night shifts.



My First Day at the Station...

Jamie, being the nice and generous person that he is, walked me to my first day on call after school.

"So, are you excited?" Jamie asked, as we walked out of Kingsport High.

"Oh, so very EXCITED." I said sarcastically.

"You know, you don't have to be so witty." He said, calmly. I could tell he wasn't trying to sound rude so I wasn't to hard on him.

"I know." I said, sadly, nothing was going right "I just, I don't know... why I joined the super-squad. My two best friends joined this and I - I just had to see how it was." I lyed once again about why I joined.

"Well, you're about to see." He said as we approached Kingsport EMS. I took a deep breath and a picture of me in an EMT uniform flashed through my mind.
