First day I never knew anyone.
Everyone seemed to be interacting with people, talking about their plans in med proper, exchanging their mischievous pre-med experiences.
The memo said we'd be color coding today. Being said, I am a stupid looking bright tangerine sitting in the middle of pastel colored branded outfits. I thought it'd be yellow, blue, red, orange, white today?
Pff not following instructions.
Should I wear glasses too?
They were acting like real grownups too. On fleek brows, long lashes, plump lips, nice even skin tone.
Then here's me. Unplucked brows and cracked lips.
The audio room was massive. Nice. I took a seat in front. I wanted to listen okay.
First we sang the hymm.
It sounded odd.
Then the speakers were doctors.
Nice. I never knew it's this jittery feeling of excitement.
Then words like " No drinking during duties. You don't know when you're needed during emergencies and you're always on call. "
Hold up.
I looked at the girl next to me.
She had this Romanesque nose, long pitch black hair, with kohl eyes.
" Excuse me, What school is this? "
"CIM. " Her dimples dipped low like how my heart sank.
Sheet of Opscan.
Mother Nature.
Holy Highlighters.
I veiled my nervousness by overly done smile.
I had endured half the day hearing medical terminologies I couldn't even pronounce.
Worst was.
I even volunteered to read the Mission and Vision in front.
First day I never knew anyone, now I know why.

Cringe.
Really.
Super.
