All Grown Up-Chapter 2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
-ELLA-
Ella Greene tapped her pencil impatiently, waiting for her professor to arrive. He was always
late and it irritated Ella. Not to mention the fact that it was her least favorite class in
college, Linear Algebra. Six weeks until the end of freshman year, and Ella was still in awe of
the college. She was at the University of Illinois in Chicago. Ella never wanted to leave home
and had been very lucky to be able to stay home. Her sister Rachel had also gone to this college
and then onto med school at the University of Michigan. Ella's ambitions were somewhat similar to
her sister's, but Ella had no interest in med school and being a doctor, like her sister, father,
and mother. She wanted to become a nurse. This only required two extra years at college for her
nursing degree. She knew she would be happy with that, and knew exactly where she would work.
County General. Her father had worked there in the ER for years and had retired the past summer.
Her mother was a surgeon there and her sister Rachel worked as an ER doctor.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen, sorry for the delay," said Professor Andrews as he entered the
classroom hurriedly. "If you will please take out your textbooks and we will continue in chapter
two, working with vector spaces..."
It went on like this for another hour and a half. As soon as the final bell rang, she was out
like a shot. She ran to her car, her beloved green VW bug, and raced home. She knew that no one
would be there. Her mother was working and her father had plans to go golfing with some friends.
As she was making lunch, the phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hey El, it's Rachel."
"Hey sis, what's up?" Ella asked. She paused to lick some mayonnaise off of her finger.
"I was wondering if you could watch Nadine next Saturday. I have a double shift and Robert and
Ryan are heading up to the lake for the long weekend."
"Sure, I have Saturday off. Are you at work?" asked Ella, eyeing her half made sandwhich.
"Yeah, and it's dead in here. Susan's about to go crazy with boredom."
"Do you want to grab lunch at Doc Magoo's? I was about to make lunch but if you're free..."
"Sure, that would be great," said Rachel. "I'll meet you at the ER in 20 minutes, okay?"
"Ok, see you then," said Ella.
"Ok, bye."
Ella smiled. No lunch alone today! She tossd the half made sandwich in the trash, grabbed her
coat and keys, and ran back out of the house.
