"you guys are eating without me?" Lyla sounded devastated as she approached the table we all sat for lunch.
After sitting she pulls out her meal accompanied with a soda out of her bag. She placed it on the table, said her grace quietly and then began to eat.
"You should try a healthy diet Lyla it'll help you a lot especially with your sleeping habit" Silas said before filling his mouth with whatever it was that he was eating; vegetables I guess.
Lyla rolled her eyes. This wasn't the first time he tried lecturing her and she always hated it.
Me, Morgan and Charlotte brought sandwiches for our lunch although they had different content in theirs. Mine was an egg sandwich.
"So! How'd did it go?" The enthusiast Lyla asked while chewing her food. Silas looked at her irritably, 'she has no sense of etiquette' he would often say.
"How did what go?" Charlotte asked after gulping hard she had to pick up her usual diet coke to wash it down.
"The operations, you know, the tasks you were all given and working together, yeah that, how'd it go" she clarified.
I swear I heard a hmph from Silas. Earlier after the first patient had been treated, Dr Melendez advised him to be more like me, calm and collected and cheerful towards children. He was visibly upset but after the other patients he seemed to have calmed his nerves
Well, not until Lyla brought up the topic.
"It was a blast" Morgan replied without a hint of expression on her face, almost like she was being sarcastic but she sounds like this all the time so it's really hard to tell what she means. She didn't even look up; it was like she said it by reflex with her eyes on her phones screen.
"Morgan and I did good" Charlotte said while looking down at her food
I looked towards Lyla and she was glaring at Charlotte "and by 'morgan and i', you mean you sending her out of the ward for unnecessary reasons and claiming all praise and work for yourself" Lyla said through gritted teeth but Charlotte only shrugged her shoulders, confirming that she was guilty as charged.
Honestly, I expected a reaction from Morgan but her eyes were still glued to her phone. Perhaps it didn't bother her that Charlotte deceived her so.
"Selfish spoilt brat!" Lyla cursed in a low voice.
Charlotte ignored her words and faced Silas "what about you? How'd did it go?" She asked him
I study her statement for a while and realize that they must have had it planned to take all credit for themselves, the sentence was too direct; would they really plan something like that or was it just their nature.
"We shouldn't talk while we eat and let the past be the past. However it is we did we will be told and rewarded by Dr Melendez" Silas said with a straight face.
Lyla pouted her lips "seems like someone's mad that his plan didn't work out, I bet you felt like a wet diaper when fay took all the praise and how you were told to—"
"Just shut it" Silas interrupted with a frown. So....he hasn't gotten over it yet
It was odd though, I mean we all are trying to get the same thing and we're trying our best why must these two try to be so evil and put everyone else under their shoes. It's not fair.
Wait, how'd she? "Lyla how'd you know all these?" I ask her. Wasn't she off somewhere else?, How did she know what happened to Charlotte and Morgan and me and Silas.
After I asked my question all eyes were now on Lyla even Morgan wasn't an exception this time
Lyla shrugged her shoulders with a cheeky smile on her face "I....just happened to be passing by" she replied
"Gosh you're too nosey" Silas commented and looked at her like he was looking at a bag filled with dirty diapers.
"At least I'm not the cry baby who ran out of the ward to call Dr Melendez for something so minor" Lyla teased
"You—" Silas almost flew off the handle with rage.
"You know?" Charlotte began causing the atmosphere itself to pause. She continued after there was silence
"Lyla you speak too Ill of others but have nothing to say about yourself huh! Always late and lazy, stalking people like a creep" Lyla opened her mouth to say something but it seemed Charlotte was not done yet.
"You know, if I were Dr Melendez I won't settle as little as giving you scout work, I'll have you suspended from work and shape you up in weeks. Now that I mentioned it, if I were the superior I'd make sure that none of you behave the way you do. I'll discipline you more than Dr Melendez ever could just in months.
I will make a better superior than him anyways, just you all wait and see".
We all stared at her with blank and surprising expression, well all except Morgan. Charlotte looked up and was surprised by what she said too, it was like she was thinking out loud and we all accidentally heard it.
She raised her hand to cover her mouth but it had been done already. "This won't leave this room" she said immediately. We nod our heads. No one would want to be a snitch.
I looked to Morgan beside me but she was too engrossed in her phone I doubt that she heard anything or maybe.....no, no way....I'm just thinking it too much.
I don't believe Dr Melendez is soft, he's strict in his own way and what Charlotte needs to understand is that not everyone is like her. I think he's a great superior.
"If you brats are done eating and chatting we've got a job on her hands STAT"
speak of the devil and he'll arrive. Dr Melendez rushed in and alerted us, apparently a patient was just brought in.
We all rose up to our feet, put our lunches away and quickly followed behind him.
My mind raced as I imagined what the crisis would be like.
