These past few weeks, I had been so productive. I bought all of my furniture and things to make my house look more like a house and not a storage room. Not just at home. At work, I had gotten almost all the attendings respect. You know, everyone but Dr. Anderson. And now, Laura Clark and I had gotten kind of close. She even introduced me to her friends.

"There is a rumor that Arrogant Anderson is leaving," One resident said. I chuckled to myself not looking up. But apparently, everyone heard me.

"What's so funny?" He asked. I looked up.

"O-oh...well just the nickname. I mean I've been here for like a month now and I have never heard that nickname before." I mumbled.

"Ah, you're the new girl. I'm Daniel Choi" He said, holding out his hand. I smiled.

"Camilla Janssen. So you guys have names for all the attendings?" I asked. They laughed.

"Yep. Uh in Gynie we have Dr. Turner as Aunt Flo, in Neuro we have Dr. Anderson as Arrogant Anderson. In Cardio, we have Dr. Gonzalez as King of Hearts, in Trauma we have Dr.Campbell as Colonial Campbell. There is more but then we would be late for rounds." He said. I laughed

"We don't have one for the hot doctor who showed up a few weeks ago and then left randomly," Laura said. Everyone started chiming in.

"He was so hot, and like a celebrity or something," One resident said. I remembered her as the girl that I told Jaehyun was rude to the nurses.

"Yeah, he has like a youtube channel where he talks about being a doctor and stuff like that. He has like ten million subscribers" Dr. Choi said.

"What would you have called him?" Laura asked. I sighed.

"Dr. Dimples," I said. A bunch of people clapped and others laughed.

"You, my friend, are probably the queen of attending nicknames," he said. I rolled my eyes.

I hadn't thought about him in a while. But his name being brought up made me remember how we ended things. I mean not ended things... we weren't together. I meant the way we last talked to each other.

I even did some internet stalking. Don't judge me, I know you all do it. But I felt bad that I had yelled at him. After they told me that he was a famous YouTuber, I had felt that I had been living under a rock. But these past few months, I have.

Anyway, I looked up his name on Instagram to see that he had 6 million followers. Meanwhile, I was stuck with only 782. But who's counting?

I scrolled through his pictures to see some with people, who are probably his friends, a bunch of pictures of him in his scrubs, and a lot of his family. I accidentally liked one of his pictures, sending me into full panic mode.

I hoped that he wouldn't see it. Which was a possibility that could possibly happen.

"Hey. Who's service are you on today?" Daniel asked me. I sighed, looking at my pager.

"Well, I just got paged to the ER. Colonial Campbell has requested for my service." I joked. He laughed, following me slowly.

"Well, you and me both," He said. I smiled. Daniel was really cool. Whenever we hadn't been on a particular specialty service, we would wander the halls, trolling for cases. Which sounds dark and wrong, but then again we are surgeons. You have to be some interesting kind of weird if you enjoy cutting into people's bodies. He and Laura were the two friends I made here.

"What is so special that Dr. Campbell needs us both for?" he asked. We entered the ER.

"Hello Dr. Janssen, welcome to Mass Gen. And Dr. Choi, pleasure as always. Today you both will be working in the pit. Any stitches, broken bones and anything else has your names on it." He said. We both nodded, but deep inside of me I felt my brain rolling its eyes. How boring.
