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 당신 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 당신 enjoy the 1st chapter of my fanfic. *
"He cheated on you? I can't believe it. I thought he was a keeper," said Lisa Cuddy's shocked roommate Sara.
"I know," said 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 당신 up," said Sara.
"What is it?" asked Cuddy.
"You should come with me to Dylan Crandall's frat party tonight," said Sara.
"No, I'm not really in the partying mood," Cuddy responded.
"Oh, come on, Lisa, it's a Friday night. 당신 shouldn't be 집 의해 yourself walloing in self-pity. Besides, there are probably going to be a lot of cute guys there. 당신 might even meet someone who'll make 당신 forget all about Trevor," said Sara.
"I seriously doubt that, but ok, fine, I'll go," said 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 의해 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 또는 dancing with any guys at the party. However, she also couldn’t go 집 either because she and Sara only took one car and she didn’t want to ruin Sara’s fun 의해 telling her that she wanted to go 집 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 당신 just found out earlier in the 일 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 의해 the redhead in the green blouse?” he asked.
“Yeah,” said Cuddy.
“That’s my best friend Dylan. I don’t know anyone else here,” he explained.
“Then I guess 당신 and I are in the same 보트 because that redhead in the green 블라우스 is my roommate, Sara. I don’t know anyone else here either,” said Cuddy.
“What do 당신 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,” said Cuddy.
“Oh, sassy, I like that. My name’s Gregory House. I’m a third-year med student at the 대학 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 당신 know about me? Oh yeah, I’m single,” said House.
Cuddy couldn’t help but smile. “Lisa Cuddy. I’m a Pre-Med major at the 대학 of Michigan. You’re the first person to call me sassy. The most common word used to describe me is idealistic, and, as 당신 know, I’m recently single,” said Cuddy.
“Great, now that we got the introductions out of the way, let’s dance,” said House leading Cuddy to the middle of the room where other people were dancing.
“Yes, 당신 may have this dance,” said Cuddy a little sarcastically.
“I’m also not one for social conventions,” said House smiling.
“Jerk,” said Cuddy.
“Idealist,” House shot back at her as they started to dance.

When does 사랑 become something we need, rather than something we want? 사랑 was seen as something special a long time ago. Now 사랑 is what we are expected to have with us everyday of our lives. 사랑 is common currency when 당신 are a teenager, but turns to worthless pennies the older 당신 get. Do we not care about the substance of what 사랑 was and not what it has been made into today 의해 commercialisation from American 영화 and 텔레비전 commercials and soap operas? Only when we experience 사랑 for real, can we 코멘트 and judge others who are in Love. 사랑 means something different to everyone. Not two people’s feeling of 사랑 is the same. Why do we generalize, rationalize and compartmentalize Love? 사랑 is and will continue to be an enigma. Only a handful of people will ever unlock it and witness its true beauty and essence. The essence we all crave.
Love.
Love.
