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

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