A/N: *So this is the first chapter of the fanfic I've been working on. It was originally supposed to have a sad ending, but yesterday, I decided to on an alternate ending that I liked better. Thanks to all those who voted on my pick anyways. It was very reassuring to see that most of آپ would have read my fanfic no matter what. Anyways, the idea behind this fanfic is to basically give a little bit of background into House and Cuddy's college days together and tie that into the events in LTEC. The paraells between their college days and the events in LTEC won't become apparent until Chapter 3 so please be a little patient. Hope آپ enjoy the 1st chapter of my fanfic. *

"He cheated on you? I can't believe it. I thought he was a keeper," کہا Lisa Cuddy's shocked roommate Sara.
"I know," کہا Cuddy sadly.
"I'm so sorry," Sara said, but the words didn't seem to have registered with Cuddy who was still staring blankly at the floor.
"Hey, I have an idea to cheer آپ up," کہا Sara.
"What is it?" asked Cuddy.
"You should come with me to Dylan Crandall's frat party tonight," کہا Sara.
"No, I'm not really in the partying mood," Cuddy responded.
"Oh, come on, Lisa, it's a Friday night. آپ shouldn't be ہوم سے طرف کی yourself walloing in self-pity. Besides, there are probably going to be a lot of cute guys there. آپ might even meet someone who'll make آپ forget all about Trevor," کہا Sara.
"I seriously doubt that, but ok, fine, I'll go," کہا Cuddy resigned.

Later on that night, Cuddy and her roommate were at the frat party. Sara spent the entire time at the party with Dylan Crandall leaving Cuddy alone. Cuddy was سے طرف کی herself watching them making out from the corner of the room. She didn’t know what to do. After what happened earlier in the day, she didn’t feel like talking یا dancing with any guys at the party. However, she also couldn’t go ہوم either because she and Sara only took one car and she didn’t want to ruin Sara’s fun سے طرف کی telling her that she wanted to go ہوم so early.

“I take it you’re not having much fun here are you?” asked a guy coming up to her.
“It’s kind of hard to when آپ just found out earlier in the دن that your boyfriend was having an affair with your soon-to-be ex-best friend. Guys can be such pigs” Cuddy replied.
“In that case, I apologize on behalf of my gender,” he responded jokingly. Cuddy couldn’t help but stifle a laugh.
“Since you’re talking to little old boring me, I assume you’re not having much fun here either,” Cuddy said.
“You see that guy who’s getting his face swallowed سے طرف کی the redhead in the green blouse?” he asked.
“Yeah,” کہا Cuddy.
“That’s my best friend Dylan. I don’t know anyone else here,” he explained.
“Then I guess آپ and I are in the same کشتی because that redhead in the green بلاؤز, کمری is my roommate, Sara. I don’t know anyone else here either,” کہا Cuddy.
“What do آپ say we dance since we have nothing better to do?” he asked.
“You‘re a nice guy and all, but I don’t dance with strangers,” کہا Cuddy.
“Oh, sassy, I like that. My name’s Gregory House. I’m a third-year med student at the یونیورسٹی of Michigan. You’re the first person to call me nice. The most common word used to describe me is jerk. Hmmm, let’s see, what else should آپ know about me? Oh yeah, I’m single,” کہا House.
Cuddy couldn’t help but smile. “Lisa Cuddy. I’m a Pre-Med major at the یونیورسٹی of Michigan. You’re the first person to call me sassy. The most common word used to describe me is idealistic, and, as آپ know, I’m recently single,” کہا Cuddy.
“Great, now that we got the introductions out of the way, let’s dance,” کہا House leading Cuddy to the middle of the room where other people were dancing.
“Yes, آپ may have this dance,” کہا Cuddy a little sarcastically.
“I’m also not one for social conventions,” کہا House smiling.
“Jerk,” کہا Cuddy.
“Idealist,” House shot back at her as they started to dance.
