The day kind of dragged on. I was assigned a temporary assistant, Ms. Heather Ross. She's very nice, and tells me all about who's dating who, who's who, and everything to know about Caduceus. After a quick emergency appendectomy, it was lunchtime. Heather waved goodbye, saying she had to visit the grave of her old patient Emilio. I waved back, walked to my black Mini-Coop, and drove to Little Italy.
When I arrived, I saw a large table that Derek and Tyler were sitting at. With them were the blonde lady from earlier, Derek, a green haired woman that was sitting next to Tyler, and a black haired man with dark bags under his eyes. Derek saw me and waved me over. There was one empty chair between Tyler and Derek, so I sat in it and ordered a hot Earl Grey tea. Tyler announced to everyone else at the table who I was, and introduced me to everyone. The blonde woman was Nurse Angie Thompson, Derek's current assistant. The green haired woman was Leaslie Sears, Tyler's assistant. The black haired man (who looked like he was suffering) was Victor Niguel, the brains of Caduceus. Angie was giving me a somewhat dirty look. I wasn't paying attention to Derek's arm, that was around my shoulder. Realizing this, I blushed. After a few minutes of gabbing to my new co-workers, our food came and man, did we eat. I had a spaghetti, Tyler and Derek shared a meat-lovers pizza, Victor had Stromboli, Angie and Leaslie both had salad. After that gigantic lunch, we had a small tiramisu to split before driving back to the hospital, minus Angie, Tyler, and Leaslie-their day was over. Derek and I stood outside in the cold. My hands were freezing and turning white. Derek turned to me and handed me the gloves he was wearing. I looked at him in shock.
"Don't you need these?" I ask, seeing my breath in the air.
"I believe you need them more than I do," he smiled. "See you at the hospital." he said as he walked to his car. I smiled to myself and put the already warm gloves onto my ice cold hands. As I walked to my car, I was confronted by Angie. "Hi Angie," I said. "What's U-"
She put her finger to my lips. "I'll tell you what's up," She said while glaring at me with her piercing green eyes. "You back off from Derek. He was mine first, and doesn't deserve a SLUT like YOU, Diana." she then proceeded to walk off coldly. My mouth was agape. The last time I was called a slut was when I was in the 8th grade, by a girl with similar blonde hair and piercing green eyes. Her name was Angela. Wait…. I put two-and-two together. Angie and Angela were the same person? Who would have known, the woman who's goal in life was to make my life miserable, was the same person who just called me a slut. Suddenly a whole wave of sorrow seared through my body. Hold the tears back Diana…it would just show that she has power over you. I said in my mind, gulping back the lump in my throat. I slowly walked to the car, got in, and drove back to Caduceus with hurt feelings. I walked into the sliding glass doors and suddenly…
