"I'm telling you Tyra, he got really jealous!" Emily said as she slammed her locked door closed and headed towards her friend. "If you were there, you would know what I mean."

"All I'm saying Em, is there is a difference between looking out for a good friend and actually being jealous, especially when you have a girlfriend already."

She's not a girlfriend. She's the wicked Bitch of the West. In time he will see that too.

"It was a blind date, Emily. He may have appeared jealous to you, because well…it's you and you ALWAYS over think things-"

"-Hey, I do not." Emily snapped cutting her friend off quickly.

"Yeah, you do! Trust me, Will was only looking out for you."

"It was more than that." She said sighing heavily.

He was jealous. I had known Will for four years.

I know when he was being protective and when he was jealous.

He was definitely jealous, right?

Otherwise I wouldn't have been up all night replaying the whole situation in my head.

Otherwise I wouldn't have imagined how he was going to tell me, that he made a mistake in choosing Cassandra over me.

How can Tyra possible think that I over think things? I am not that crazy!

So what, if I like to relive situations from the past and keep memories that others would probably forget that same day. I like keeping memories…it was one of the reasons why it took me so long to delete Will's drunk message on my phone.

But keeping a memory and replaying events in your head over and over, did not mean that you were an over thinker, right?

"There you go again…over thinking." Tyra said laughing a little.

"I wasn't. " Emily said quickly, trying to be convincing, "Fiiiiiine. How did you know?"

"You kind of zone out. Look Em, don't look so down. What were you expecting him to do? Dump Cassandra and confess his undying love for you?"

"Something like that." Emily mumbled as she checked pager.

"Girl, you live in a fantasy world! It's not that easy! Life is never as simple as we would like it to be."

"Say what you want, but I saw how he reacted. He might not know that he likes me yet, but somewhere deep down inside…he got jealous and if he got jealous that means that he must like me."

"I officially give up!" Tyra said throwing her hands up in the air. "You can drive yourself mental with a constant replay of last night's events in your head, but I prefer to keep my sanity." She said slamming her locker shut quickly. "Let's go we are going to be late for rounds."

"Dr Kopelson can present." Dr Gina Bandari said, quickly handing Cassandra the patient in 509's chart.

"Anita Baker, 42 admitted in to hospital after suffering from severe sharp pains in her chest…"

"So have you heard back from surfer dude?" Will whispered, nudging Emily softly.

See, jealousy! Where was Tyra to see this?

Of course she had to be standing next to Dr Bandari on the other side of the room!

"He is not a surfer, he's a skater." Emily said hotly, trying her hardest not to blush when she caught a glimpse of Will's jealous face.

He's jealous! He is so jealous.

"Same thing." He whispered back, "So..Uh, are you going to see him again?"

God NO.

But he doesn't need to know that…

Take your time answering back…make him sweat a bit.

"I'm not sure." She said shrugging her shoulders.

"Dr Owens, Dr Collins…are we interrupting you?" Dr Bandari growled angrily.

"No." Will said quickly.

"No, sorry." Emily said grimacing a little.

Way to get back on her hated list, Emily.

"Are you sure? Because it looked like we were. Would you like to share what was so important that couldn't wait for later?"

"I asked Emily a question about Mrs Baker's heart." Will said taking the fall for the interruption.

"Will…" Emily whispered softly.

"You direct your questions to me." She snapped angrily. "Rounds are the perfect time for any questions that you have, but you don't interrupt my class by whispering like little children. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Dr Bandari." Emily and Will said together in unison.

xx

"You do NOT whisper in my class…you do NOT distract others from learning. You do NOT disrespect the intern that is presenting by your childish chitchat." Dr Bandari said angrily as she paced the empty break room. "Do you understand?"

"Yes." Emily said nodding, every bone in her body petrified.

"I am not as stupid as you think, you weren't taking about Mrs Baker's heart. I know that you two have this weird love/ crush thing going on and quite honestly, I don't give a shit- but keep it out of my class; I don't want to hear it, I don't want to see you flirt. If you are not here to learn, that's fine…but I will not have you disrupting my other interns that are here for the right reasons. Is that understood?"

"Yes, Dr Bandari." Will said looking a little confused by the situation.

"Today, you both will not be assisting in any more rounds or patient care. Owens, you will be doing discharge paperwork and Collins you will come with me. You both need a lesson in humility before you can get back to joining your fellow interns. Take this as your first warning, if you test me again it will be recorded on your files. Understood?"

"She hates me." Emily said signing off on another chart.

"You were talking during rounds." Tyra hissed.

"Stop defending her. You of all people should know how much she hates me."

"I'm not defending her, but everyone saw it. Even Cassandra, that's why she was distracted when she was presenting. I think that's what made Dr Bandari notice that you guys were talking."

"She was distracted? Like how?...Was she jealous?"

"You could say that." Tyra said smugly.

"If Cassandra is jealous, then that means that Will must have mentioned something about my blind date to her, which means that Will is-"

"-don't say jealous." Tyra said cutting her off quickly. "I don't want to have a repeat of last night's three hour long phone call or this morning's chat."

"It wasn't three hours." Emily mumbled.

"Do you want to see my call log?" She said raising a perfectly arched eyebrow.

Was it really three?

It seemed shorter than that, but then again you do ramble on all the time.

"I have to go." Tyra said, checking her pager that just beeped. "I'll see you for lunch?"

"If I ever finish this mountain of work!" Emily called out behind her.

"Charts, huh?" Dr Micah Barnes said leaning against the nurse's station. "Jessica can I please have the chart for Mr Smith in 412?"

"She hates me." Emily said, when Micah had turned his attention back to her.

"Let me guess…you insulted Dr Bandari during rounds and she is teaching you a lesson in 'humility'?"

Humility.

Yep, those were her exact words when she yelled at Will and I after rounds were over.

"How did you know?" Emily said smiling.

"Been there done that." Micah said smiling back. "You're lucky that you got discharge paperwork. It's usually a lot worse."

"Oh yeah? How worse?"

"This one time when I was in my first years as an intern and I had the unfortunate mistake of pissing Gina off, she made me go from room to room and empty everyone's catheters."

"Ouch." Emily said grimacing a little. "That sucks. I thought only nurses did that."

"Yup." Micah said laughing at her disgust. "So what did you do?"

"I was speaking during rounds."

"Dr Owens!" Micah said pretending to be shocked. "That's not like you. I bet someone was distracting you."

Emily nodded, trying to contain her laughter.

"Was it your "best friend" Cassandra?" Micah said playfully.

"Don't make me laugh." Emily said rolling her eyes a little. "No, it was Will."

Emily saw Micah's face instantly drop.

What was with that look?

Did Micah hate Will?

"Oh." He said looking a way.

"Did she stay mad at you long? Dr Bandari?" Emily asked trying to break the awkward silence.

"Thanks Jessica." Micah said as he took the chart. "No, but it's not going to change overnight either, Emily. You just have to be patient."

"I just really don't want her to form an opinion of me and hate me forever. I feel like we got off on the wrong foot and it's been months and she still treats me like I'm some kind of annoyance."

"You just have to give it time. She will come around." Micah said opening a chart and taking a good look at it.

Okay, what's going on? Why is he ignoring you and focusing on a stupid chart.

He must have a problem with Will. But why?

What did Will do to Micah?

Okay, Emily don't over think...

Micah is just busy...busy checking charts.

Like you should be doing! Keep signing your discharges!

This is awkward! Should I say something?

"I feel like she hates me more and more everyday though." Emily said laughing a little nervously. "Every time I need to ask her a question, I feel like she's judging me and she's adding another tick in her 'why I hate Emily Owens column'. I just feel like a nuisance, you know and I'm trying not to think about it; but I think about it too much and its driving me crazy!

"Emily, relax." Micah said placing both of his hands on her shoulders. "You are not an annoyance. You are an intern. She is your attending and she is here to teach and mentor you. You have to ask her questions and if she's judging you, she's only trying to figure you out as a Doctor...everyone is different and she's trying to see what makes you tick; nothing more. And there is no 'why I hate Emily Owens column' Dr Bandari is very fond of you believe it or not."

"Yeah, right." Emily mumbled.

He's so sweet for trying to cheer me up.

"How long have you been doing discharge papers?"

"A little over an hour." She said sighing heavily.

"I think you deserve a break. Let's get a coffee?" He said squeezing her shoulders a little.

"Sounds perfect." Emily said smiling.
