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

When does प्यार become something we need, rather than something we want? प्यार was seen as something special a long time ago. Now प्यार is what we are expected to have with us everyday of our lives. प्यार is common currency when आप are a teenager, but turns to worthless pennies the older आप get. Do we not care about the substance of what प्यार was and not what it has been made into today द्वारा commercialisation from American फिल्में and टेलीविज़न commercials and soap operas? Only when we experience प्यार for real, can we टिप्पणी दे and judge others who are in Love. प्यार means something different to everyone. Not two people’s feeling of प्यार is the same. Why do we generalize, rationalize and compartmentalize Love? प्यार 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.
