OMG I'M LIKE DYING BECAUSE I HATE ENGLISH CLASS SO MUCH, JUST WHY DO BOOKS HAVE TO BE SO BORING FOR CLASS, WHY DOES MY TEACHER HAVE TO COMPARE BISEXUALITY TO POLYGIMY, WHY DO I NEVER GET ABOVE A 4 ON MY AP PRACTICE ESSAYS. I'M AN OKAY WRITER RIGHT? I KNOW I HAVE BAD GRAMMAR, BUT I FOLLOW THE PROMPT! I LITTERALLY DO EVERYTHING THE RUBRIC SAYS AND I STILL GET A FOUR, WTF UNIVERSE.

Also can we ignore the fact that I totally forgot fanfiction existed for like a month. I'm so sorry, thank you to the guests who reviewed, not only did it jog my memory that fanfiction is a thing, it made my day *hugs*

Anyway here's the new chapter :)

Emily and Good News

Emily sat in Dr. Bandari's office. Whatever you do don't ask if you're in trouble. She's probably getting tired of it.

"Am I in trouble?"Emily asks.

"Dr. Owens why do you always ask about being in trouble every time I call you into my office?" Dr. Bandari asks. Because you're my boss and you're super scary.

"No reason." Emily says.

"Anyway, as you know Micah was the resident in charge of the new interns and during his absence I have to pick a replacement for him." Dr. Bandari said.

"Oh, am I here to recommend somebody?" Emily asks.

"No, you're here because I'm giving you the rounds schedule for the first week of when the new interns will be a rough outline, as you know people die and that new people come in, but if we started rounds today-that would be the schedule. To give you the feel for it." Dr. Bandari said.

Emily sat there looking at the schedule.

"I'm in charge of interns?"

"Yes." Dr. Bandari says. "Is that a problem?" Yes because I barely know how I get buy in this place, how am I supposed to help other people get buy in this place?

"No, just-why me? Cassandra would be better at it-she's scarier." Emily says.

Dr. Bandari said.

"Emily that's the thing. I'm supposed to be the one they're scared of. They always need somebody to go to if they mess up that won't get them in trouble. Remember when you were an intern and you made mistakes, you never went to me, you went to Micah who told me. Because I couldn't get mad at one of my best residents."

Emily smiles,

"I'm one of your best residents? But I constantly make mistakes, and I'm super shy, which doesn't help in the OR. Also I'm terribly awkward when it comes to consulting to patients, I second guess my opinion when an intern has a different opinion than me."

'Emily why do you underestimate yourself so much?" Gina asks. Ummmm, what?

"Repeat the question please?" Emily asks Why would you ask that?

"Emily you are one of the most talented surgeons here. You have great promise and I think that you are the only one of your level who has what it takes. Yes you're not as solid in confidence, but overtime you will work that confidence up and until then you just have to fake it. By the time that this years interns come, I expect you to be acting so confident, I'm intimidated by your presence." Gina said

"Oh my gosh, thank you for that, and the job." Emily said checking her watch "Oh my gosh I'm late to pick up Brian. Thanks again!" She says before running out of the room.

Gina looked out after Emily and thought, why did she think Emily was the only one who had what it takes? Well, it could be the fact that every time Gina looked at Emily, she saw herself, who she used to be. When Gina started she was just like Emily, it took her years and a long failing marriage, to harden up. She was never given the boost she needed to be confident-until she was thrown under the bus and had to think on her feet-and she didn't want that to happen to Emily. Because Emily was different than Gina in one way...

She couldn't lie to save her life.
