Sleepy Girl
Jamie’s gaze swept through the young, eager faces of the medical students in
front of him, and he grinned. He loved teaching the newbies. Straight from
their first two pre-clinical years, with no practical experience yet and barely
out of their teens, they were generally keen as mustard to be in the thick of it.
His smile faded as he caught sight of a girl near the back; like the other
students, she was facing him and sitting upright in expectation, her pen
poised over her notes; the only difference was that her eyes … seemed to be
closed.
He frowned and cocked his head to the side. After a few more
seconds had passed he realized that she wasn’t just looking down at her paper
or taking a long blink; she was asleep. Jamie wound his way through the
students’ chairs to get to her, and the excitement on their faces faded to
confusion as they followed his progress to the back of the room. Once he
reached Sleepy Girl he squatted down so his face was level with hers, and
held up his hand to the student next to her, who was about to nudge her
awake.
He studied her for a moment: long, dark lashes casting shadows over
her high cheekbones, an enormous amount of dark hair piled on top of her
head and secured with what looked like a rubber band and various hair grips
(almost as though some sort of battle had been waged against it to keep it in
check), no make-up whatsoever (unusual, in his experience, in that age
group), loose-fitting jumper over what looked to be a slim frame, dark
smudges under her eyes, heart-shaped face surrounded by tendrils of the dark
hair that had won their battle and escaped from their confines.
She looked too young to be out of school – and the most naturally
pretty girl he had ever seen. He cleared his throat and her eyelids fluttered for
a moment, but then settled back down.
‘These are not the droids you’re looking for,’ she muttered bizarrely
under her breath as she shifted to a more comfortable position in her seat, her
head gradually falling towards her friend’s shoulder. The friend had a fair
few actual dreadlocks in her hair, threaded with brightly coloured material.
Jamie made a mental note to have one of the ward sisters give their
‘appropriate appearance for clinical medicine’ lecture – in all honesty both
these girls looked like they needed it, but more would be achieved if they
were both awake at the time of delivery. Jamie’s hand reached forward to
touch the sleeping girl’s arm, but he thought better of it at the last moment
and pulled away to rub the back of his neck.
