Sherlock Holmes hated university. He found everything around him: his classes, the other students, and the teachers all so predictable, and boring.
It took him less than a week to alienate almost everyone around him. The only person pleased to see him was Billy Wiggins, who supplemented his meagre earnings by selling drugs. But it wasn't only Sherlock's lofty, intolerant manner that ensured his unpopularity.
His uncanny, some would say creepy ability to 'deduce' his fellow students, and teachers for that matter, guaranteed that everyone gave him a wide birth.
This wasn't to say he couldn't be charming when he chose to be. He was well aware that his striking good looks had garnered a lot of attention from both sexes, and he was not averse to using this to his advantage, especially if there was something he needed.
The most put upon target of Sherlock's manipulations was Molly Hooper. His interest in solving crimes and hers in pathology were, as far as Sherlock was concerned, a match made in heaven. All he had to do was smile at her and she would willingly supply him with whatever body parts, or access to the lab that she could.
Sherlock was certain he knew all that there was to know about 'Mousy Molly'. He was soon to discover that he couldn't be more wrong if he tried.
