...And I'm back, please don't kill me over my unfinished stories.

My dear friend, forgotyourcoat has been wanting me to write a college fic for a very long time now and this is me fulfilling her wishes
So this is for her :)

Enjoy! And leave a review on your way out!


"Oh my God, I'm soo sorry!"

"That's fine." The random cute guy said at the hallway as he picked up her scattered papers and handed it to her.

"Thank you so much." Lisa Cuddy said. Her face had turned red from the embarrassment. It was her first day of college and she was frantically running around to find her class which she was very late to by now.

The cute guy gave her a polite smile and started walking away. Looking after him dreamily for a second she gathered her thoughts as she looked at her watch; 10.17

Shit.

Turning around, she started running as fast as she can, bumping various people in the hallway. She was late to her Endocrinology class and she hated to be late, especially in her first day. To be honest, it wasn't even a class in her own schedule, she had begged to professor to let her take it. The professor had taken a quick glance at her transcript and had let her. It was a relief to be allowed in a class like that apart from her boring Science and Math classes. Shaking her head at her own eagerness she turned right in the labyrinth like building.

Stopping in front of a classroom, she looked down at her notes. Classroom 104 okay… She looked back up at the sign in front of her. Classroom B104.

What?

Was there a difference? Should she get in? Or would she be interrupting a random class?

She looked back at her watch. 10.21

Great… The class was supposed to start at 10 and here she was, still outside. Putting her hands on her face, she looked around to find someone, anyone! Not only everyone seemed so cold, they were all in a rush as they were busy walking to their own classes.

Still panting from her long run, she shuffled her papers trying to find a clue as to where should she go.

"It's over there."

Quickly she turned around to find a guy, leaned against the wall right across from her. Adidas sneakers, well fitting jeans and a t-shirt on which indicated that he was playing for the football team; he stood there playing with a yoyo and looking at her. For some reason she felt really exposed.

"Excuse me?"

"The Endocrinology class, it's that room over there."

"How do you-"

"Freshman huh? How did they even let you take this class?" he asked but he was talking to himself more to her.

He looked back up at her and they unintentionally made eye contact. And she was struck.

Oh my God… What shade of blue was that? It was gorgeous.

"I.. I-"

"You.. you?" he mocked her.

"How did you know I was looking for the Endocrinology class?"

"It's obvious, isn't it?"

She looked at him, clueless.

"Come on, we don't wanna be any more late. The control freak in you would die."

Putting his yoyo in his pocket he turned away from her and headed to class as she followed right behind. Was he in this class also? He had no books with him? And by the looks of it, he was probably older. A junior? No.. senior?

She watched her opening the door to their class without bothering to knock. Gazing at her, he signed her to follow him as they both set foot in the room.

She was scared. She was never late. She was never disrespectful. But 15 seconds in meeting this guy she had already defied two of her rules. Her heart was racing as she thought about the teacher scolding her. Don't be stupid Lisa, this is college! Teachers don't do that anymore! Or do they?

When she heard the door open, Mrs. Burrell stopped her lecture and turned to look at the intruder, or intruders. Of course…

"You're late, House. Again."

House? The Gregory House? The guy her roommate has been going on and on about?

He smiled. "My apologies, m'am" he said half mockingly as he gave her a sarcastic bow.

Cuddy watched Mrs. Burrell roll her eyes at him. So they knew each other.

"I brought you a gift."

Mrs. Burrell looked over at them and saw Cuddy. "Oh, Mrs. Cuddy."

"I saw her wandering around like a lost puppy."

"Alright that's enough. Have a seat you two." She ordered, already annoyed that House interrupted her class, just like he always did every year.

Smirking, House walked in and grabbed a seat, motioning Cuddy to sit next to him.

Not knowing what to do, she quickly walked over to him and sat down, not wanting to draw any more attention to herself. The excitement still built in her; she looked around at the students and what was on the board. She had already missed too much…

Feeling him getting closer to him, her nose caught his unique scent. She was intoxicated by it.

"So.. Cuddy.." he whispered, emphasizing her last name he had recently found out.

"So… House." She whispered right back at him.

"Isn't it dangerous for a pretty little girl like yourself to be alone here?"

"It's a school." She stated, not being affected by his funny of romanticizing everything.

"Doesn't change the fact that it's dangerous."

She ignored him and got out her notebook and pens, trying to listen the rest of the class.

"Oh my God, are those colored pens?"

She ignored him again.

"How long have you been using these?" he grabbed one without her permission, chuckling. "Since elementary?"

"Could you be quiet please?" she whispered, annoyed.

Not answering her question, he kept going. "Don't tell me you also bought a brand new notebook."

"Unlike you, I'm planning to pass."

"Who says I'm not?"

"Your lack of… books."

"Don't need them."

She turned to get a good look at him. Gorgeous blue eyes, slightly long face and a couple of days old scruff. She saw him smile at her and she quickly averted her gaze, blushing slightly.

"Oh yeah? How do you keep notes then?"

"I don't."

"Why no-"

"All of it, is in here." He mentioned his head.

She turned back at him. Just then Mrs. Burrell, already sick of the two talking, focused her attention on them.

"Hey, you two!"

Cuddy froze and she quickly looked down at her notes, not knowing what to say.

"I was just helping her." he threw a lie.

"Oh really then tell me Mr. House, when was the earliest studies on Endocrinology began?"

"China. The Chinese were isolating sex and pituitary hormones from human urine and using them for medicinal purposes by 200 BCE. They used many complex methods, such as sublimation of steroid hormones. However despite the many interesting studies of the Chinese, it is possible to say that the pioneer of Endocrinology was Arnold Berthold who was born in-"

"Alright alright!" Mrs. Burrell had obviously gotten her answer and was not interested in House's Wikipedia-like speeches. She turned back at her notes.

Smirking, House turned his attention back to Cuddy and smiled even more when he saw her reaction. She was staring at him like he had just came from another planet.

"How-"

"Told you." He smiled." It's all in here." He said and gestured his head.

Lisa Cuddy managed to turn away from him and started at the wall for a few more seconds, trying to understand the range of his intelligence. She remembered what her roommate had said about him.

He's the cutest and the smartest guy in campus.
