So we walked for our first day at 1-1-8 and to say I was excited and nervous was an understatement, I knew this was going to be a great journey for me but this job wasn't always going to be cause I remember our classes we learned about a whole bunch of different calls they have been on and a lot of them were pretty scary situations but I knew I was going to be able too handle it this isn't the job I've ever had and not the first job where I am purposely putting myself in harms way but thats a story for another time. Anyways so I was staring off looking at the fire station and completely ignored that was someone was talking to me and then Buck hit my arm to get my attention and so I looked at him annoyed and said what? and he pointed at the guy right in front of me which hadn't managed to notice so I felt super stupid and I am sure I had the stupidest look on my face as well and I said oh my god Im so sorry I was spacing out about how nice this place is and I didn't me to be rude, and he gave a smile and said no problem! you are allowed to be in awe of the fire department its one of the nicest ones in LA, and I was just amazed but all of it and then I said anyways Hi my name Maia and I shook the guys hand and he said " Hi My name Buck Evans and you are? And he says I am Bobby Nash and I am the captain here and I am extremely excited to have you to we have heard a bit about you both and that you both were at the top of your class and thats why we picked you guys actually. He gives us a smile which we both return and he says "let me introduce you to the rest of the guys and girls" and so we walk up stairs were there super nice kitchen and dining table was and there was a few guys and a girl sitting there and they stood up which made me feel super nervous and like the center of attention and then I looked over to Buck to see if he was a ball of nerves to but he just had this cocky smile smirk thing going on which made me really want to just slap him as hard as I can but I resisted that urge because this was our first day and I didn't want to show them the burning hate I have for him but anyways the only other girl puts her hand out to me and introduced herself as Henny and then does the same to Buck and after that another shorter guy introduced himself as Howie and then this extremely attractive guy walked up and said hey I'm Eddie and smiled and said hey I'm Maia and boy I couldn't help but stare he is just so damn attractive and then Buck gives a cough and says " well I'm Buck its nice to meet you Eddie" and then after that we have several different people came up to us and said hi and then they all went back to eating and cleaning and whatever and Captain Nash looks at us and says well I am guessing you guys probably want to put your bags away so I'll show you guys to your lockers which has your names on it and then we walk down stairs into a room with tons of lockers and so we throw our bags into our lockers and grab our outfits that show we are firefighters but not our actual gear, so we got shown where the boys and girls locker rooms are and go change, we happen to walk out of the changing room at the same time and he smirked at me and said looking good babes with the cockiest sounding voice ever and so I rolled my eyes as hard as I can and walked away to find Captain Nash and Buck of course followed behind me and asked where I was going and I ignored him but he kept following me and clearly didn't get the memo of get lost and as soon as I finally tracked down Captain Nash and right as I was going to ask him what to do next the bell went of that says there is an emergency to get to and I said was so confused what to do, if I should be getting into my gear right now or staying behind cause I'm new. Anyways I ended up just standing there like an idiot and then finally Captain Nash walked by me on the way to go get his gear on and tells me to go get mine on and that we will be going on this call, so we run downstairs and throw our gear on and get on the fire truck we were told to and now my heart was beating a mile a minute I was so nervous I was for sure thought that they weren't going to let us on calls yet but they are and I am just so nervous that I am going to mess something up or forget everything that Ive been learning for months but I have to suck it up and do my best and know that this isn't the time to second guess myself and that overtime we are on a call its not about us anymore its about the victim and about helping them and getting them to safety and so we are sitting in the truck in complete silence and then Buck opens his mouth which isn't surprising at all I mean leave it to Buck to make anything that was supposed to be quiet a loud obnoxious thing and he starts asking everyone how long they have been firefighters and I am shocked that they aren't just ignoring him but they are actually having a good conversation and then Howie asked me what I did before this and apparently this was the question was going around and I started freaking out because I don't tell anyone and I don't feel comfortable telling people I just met and especially not Buck. Anyways so I realize I can't avoid the question so I just say you know just some jobs here and there nothing amazing or exciting like this one and they cool and they all moved on to the next question and I could finally breathe, I don't know why I don't like talking about what I did previously but I just feel like people are going to judge me and feel like I picked this job because I wanted to put myself out there and so people would recognize me and congratulate me, what I did before just deserve congrats or anything like that I am still recovering from everything that happened and the last thing I need is to have a spot light on me and knew that this may potentially do that but I really wanted a job where I could help people everyday so if my story comes out so be it but I am not going to be the one to tell if first. So after I gave my bullshit answer of where I worked previously I just sat quietly as I let everyone else talk hoping there was going to be no more questions for me, and then Buck gave me this weird look when I pretty much avoided the question like he knew the answer and knew I was lying but I had never told him or anyone in our fire academy so I don't know how he would know but I really hope he doesn't and I really hope he doesn't tell them who I was before this, anyways we got to the scene of a 5 story building up in flames and so we all pile out of the truck and Captain Nash told me and Buck to start getting the fire hose and so we run and get the hose ready and waiting for Captain Nash's orders we turned it on and just in case anyone was curious yes it takes two to hold the fire hose cause there is a shit ton of pressure through it and as we were aiming it to the base of the fire, Buck was behind me a bit and I could feeling him moving him up more and more and then all of a sudden he was right behind me and he was so close that his chest was all pressed up against my back and I tried to ignore it cause I know he was trying to piss me off but after a while he just kept trying to get as close as possibly but which couldn't be possible and so finally enough was enough and I freaked out and turned around and told him to piss off and he just backed up a little and laughed a little and I was extremely unamused but he just kept laughing and so I let go of the hose with one hand turned around and punched him and he fell to the ground and I was pretty happy with myself that I could take down a full grown guy with just one punch.
Buck on the other hand was very unhappy and he was trying to talk to me after he got up from being punched in the face by a women but I was already turned around focusing on the fire and putting it out and I was just blocking him out which he really didn't appreciate and then all of a sudden I was shoved to the ground and I heard someone laughing and I immediately knew it Buck and now I was pissed and I got up and turned around and he was standing there look all smug and had that stupid smirk on his face and I was trying to think what I was going to do next and he opened his stupid mouth and said " what cat got your tongue or you just realized you would never be able to take on all this and motions to himself and then I had, I tackled him to the ground and then we ended up in this big ball of massive fist fight and then before I knew it I was being pulled off Buck by Captain Nash and he looked really upset and I was about to say something and Captain Nash said " no I don't want to hear it Ms Knight" and then Buck was going to say something and the Captain said " really Mr Evans did you assume that I wanted to hear from you either well that would be a no" all I have to say right now is I am very disappointed in both of you and this is your first task and thats what you do is get into a huge fight when you had the task of putting out the fire really but no you guys decided to act like children well if you are going to act like children then you will be treated like children". Then he called two other people to take over the hose and I asked what we are supposed to do now and he says " both of you get to go sit in the truck till we are done and then we will finish this conversation in my office when we get back to the station, so we go get in the truck and we sit in silence for a bit I was so mad that this happened on our first task thanks to Buck and I was just kicking my self cause I am more professional then that and then Buck opened his mouth and he said " great first day right? trying to make a joke and then really made me mad and I said are you kidding me our first emergency and we ended up fighting like children and fucking it up and its our first day and we are already getting talked to by the Captain. You do realize we are probably getting fired right? and he said oh shit you think so and I said yes its a completely an option right now cause we acted like idiots and he's furious at us. So the task was finally and everyone got in the truck and no one talked to us as we were on the way back to the fire house and I was terrified of what was going to happen next and if I was going to be able to keep this job or if I was going to get fired my first day on the job....
