Part: 1

AN: I made the college name up

Today was like any other day or so House thought. Little did he know that at exactly 11:00 a.m. there would be a case that would make him change his views on life. No, all Greg knew right now was he needed to go bug Wilson because Greg was bored out of his mind. And he'd just gotten there not 20 minutes ago so really he shouldn't be bored.

So with that thought in mind Greg headed to Wilson's office going over the balcony since Cuddy was likely looking for him. Once Greg got to the door he found it locked with a note saying: Not in Greg so leave me alone. Greg would have tried to get in but saw Cuddy walk past the window. He knew if she saw him he'd be in for it. So he just headed back to his office and got out his playboy.

Meanwhile on another part of town…

Over at Wale's community college everything was good with the students or so they thought.

The instructor Brandon Bush had told them to be done by 11:30 so they could be for cleaning up and out of there by 12:15.

He was in the back doing dishes that he'd cleaned out of the refrigerator so he never saw what happened to Sam.

Sam was just working with her partner Aaron on their roasted duck when all of a sudden she started to feel faint. Aaron saw her starting to sway but before he could catch her she fainted. On her way down she hit her head on the table cracking her head open.

"SAM!" Aaron shouted bending down to try and wake her while putting a towel behind her head to soak up some of the blood.

Of course Brandon heard the yelling so he came out to see what was going on. His heart about stopped when he saw Sam on the floor. He rushed over to her and pushed Aaron out of the way to get to her.

"Sam wake up!" Brandon said loudly while slapping Sam's cheeks.

By now the whole class had come over to see what exactly was going on.

"Don't just stand there you idiots, call 911!" Brandon yelled.

So someone went and did just that. By time they got there Sam was starting to come around because someone had found smelling salt. She of course was regretting it because of the pain in her head.

"Who's going with her?" the paramedic asked.

"I am," Brandon said.

"Ok let's go sir," the guy said.

"Ok class dismissed!" Brandon shouted while walking out with the guy and Sam who was on a stretcher.

The class was left to wonder why Brandon had gone with her since he didn't know what had happened. Little did they know that a secret that Brandon had been trying to keep hidden was about to come tumbling out thanks to one Gregory House. None of them knew that as they left for the day that was of course after doing up their dishes since Aaron and a couple of other kids said they really should so they did and then left.

Aaron headed over to the hospital to see what was up with Sam. Little did he know he was about to find out that his best friend had been hiding something from him that could change his life forever as he knew it.
