I dunno, I thought it was kind of pretty but, after I thought it would be cool if she had a nickname as well.

Chapter 2: Medical school.

I drove my car through the mid morning traffic slowly. Every minute I had to slow down to at least 10 MPH. Who wants to drive that slow? Um...no one!

But, finally, I got to The La Push medical school and parked in a small space for my Volkswagen bug.

When I walked in the door, a bustle of young men and women filled the atmosphere. Everyone seemed to be in a big hurry, because today we were going to the actual hospital to perform a surgery we were preparing for. A man, about 50, needed heart surgery, and, though we were young, we were well trained to do this. If we passed, and we were supposed to, we got our medical degree. If not, well, we had to start med school all over again. Let's just say I didn't want that to happen.

I was glad that everyone was hurrying, because that put me in the mood to hurry as well. I normally didn't want to, but I had to, and it was easier when everyone else was too. I quickly opened the small locker that held my necessary medical items and my scrubs and quickly walked over to Dr. Kim Estrella, to tell her I was ready. She smiled and motioned for me to follow her through the doors of the school. They led into the main building, the hospital.

I was deep in thought, remembering each medical procedure I had ever learned, and whispering silent words of confidence to myself.

Dr. Estrella looked over at me and smiled. "You can do it. I know you can. That's why you're at the top of every class I teach."

I smiled. "Thanks. I hope I can."

We walked quickly over to the patient's room.

A nurse came over to us and grinned. "Hello Dr. Estrella, is this Ms.....Addison Clearwater?" She asked.

I nodded. "But call me Addie."

"Okay...Addie," she said, trying to remember to say it whenever she saw me, probably.

She motioned us over to the door and led me inside. The man, Martin Buck, looked weak. I smiled at him and walked over. "You'll be okay."

He slightly smiled, trying to, but not able to really. "That means a lot."

I turned to the Nurse. "I'm sorry, I didn't get your name."

"Gabrielle Florence," she murmured.

"Thanks," I said, then turned back to the patient.

"Well..Addie, are you going to start?" Asked Nurse Gabrielle.

I nodded, still looking at the frail man.

They took him into the OR and I breathed in and out many times. Suddenly, Gabrielle gave me the phone. "It's La Push High."

I nodded and took the phone. "Hello?"

"Hi Addie. Are you Narcissa's guardian?" Asked a man I assumed to be the principal.

"Well...I'm watching her for a couple of days for her mom. I'm their aunt," I said, confused.


"Narcissa has gotten into a fight with Miss. Missie Blake at school and you need to come pick her up immediately," he said.


"Um..I would, except, I am about to perform a surgery and I need to be here," I said. "Is there anyway I can get someone else to pick her up?"

"Well, if you tell me their name I could allow that," he said.

"Um..His name is Embry, Narcissa will know him," I said.

"Alright, have a great surgery," he said.

"Thanks! Bye!" I exclaimed.

Then I dialed Embry's number and got no reply.

I started to get angry. Why did Narcissa have to do that?

Then the phone rang again. I answered. "La Push General, how can I help you?"

"Hi Addie, it's Embry! Did you call me?" He asked.

"Yes, can you pick up Narcissa?" I asked.

"Yeah. I'll get going," he said.

"Thanks! Love ya," I said.

"Love ya too," he said.

I hung up. Then I hurried over to the OR and began to prepare myself.

(Narcissa POV)

I walked into high school with pride. I was in high school! But my day was ruined right after 3rd period when stupid Missie Blake told me I was goth. Now normally, I am pretty cool about things like that, but, today, she was just being a @@@**^^&77$$$# ! You get it!

So I punched her. I mean seriously, punched her. the principal was really mad too. So he called my Aunt Addie.

Whatever! Missie totally deserved it anyway!

Then the principal told me that Embry was picking me up. Great! Thank god Aunt Addie isn't missing her surgery for me.

Embry came exactly 10 minutes later.

I walked out to his car.

I sat on the comfy velvet seats.

"Hey Cissa! What did you do to have to come home on the first day of school?" Embry asked, as he got into the car.

"Oh...I just punched Missie Blake in the face," I said, proudly. I was proud for what I had done.

He looked shocked but just chuckled and drove off, dropping me off at home.

He stayed there for a while until Aunt Addie came home, a smile on her face. When she saw me, instead of being mad like I thought she would, she ran over and hugged me while squealing with joy, then she hugged Embry. "Thanks for picking her up."

Then she told us that she had passed the surgery and had become a doctor. I was so happy for her!
