Chapter 3:

When the final bell of the school day rang, House jumped up from his seat, exited his 7th period class, and sprinted down the hallway, determined to find Lisa. Before hand, he had wisely asked where she would be after school. He learned from a few students that she went to her locker on the first floor of the school before heading home.

House, who was currently on the fourth floor, raced down the stairwell in hopes of reaching Lisa's locker before she had left. Once on the first floor, he ran to the hallway where the lockers were.

It was there that he found her, taking her books from her locker and placing them into her backpack. He walked over to her and leaned against the lockers next to hers.

"Sup?"

Lisa turned her head to see who had addressed her and immediately frowned when she saw House's smug face staring back. "Oh god, what do you want?" she complained.

"You don't look too happy to see me, Lisa."

Lisa's ears perked up when she noticed that he had remembered her name. Oh who am I kidding, she thought. Knowing him, he probably asked someone for my name. And how did he even know where to find me? Creep… "Should I be?" she finally responded.

House shrugged and watched intently as Lisa shut her locker closed and began to reach for her bag.

"Here, let me help you with that!" House beamed, picking up her backpack for her and slinging it over his shoulder like he would a jacket.

"I've got it, thanks," she said, reaching for her bag. House stepped away from her reach, causing Lisa to furrow her brow. "House!"

"Oh calm down, Cuddy! I'm not gonna steal it or anything!"

Lisa frowned but let her arm fall to her side. "Since when are you so nice? And don't call me by my last name. It makes it seem like you know me."

"You call me by my last name!"

"So does everyone else."

"Fine, Cuddles. Better?"

Lisa glared at House but decided for now to let the annoying nick name slide. "House what do you want? I have to go home."

"Can I walk you?"

Lisa raised an eyebrow. "Excuse me?"

"Can I walk you home?" House repeated.

"We don't live in the same direction."

"How do you know that? You haven't been stalking me, have you?" he joked.

"No, I'm not like you! I just happen to know that you live by James, and I've been to his house before. It's on the other side of town."

"So? I don't mind walking," House said, smiling his most charming smile. "So can I?"

Without hesitation, Cuddy responded, "No."

"Well, why not?" he whined.

"Why do you even want to?" Cuddy asked, ticked off at his persistency.

House closed in on her so that they were practically touching. She could feel his breath on her and it made her both uncomfortable and entranced at the same time. "This way we'll be able to spend more time together," he said in his usual rugged, sexy voice.

Lisa almost melted. If she didn't think this guy was a total pest, she probably would have kissed him right then and there. But being Lisa Cuddy, she stood her ground and stared House right in the eye. In a dead serious tone she snapped back, "I'd really rather not." With that, she grabbed her backpack back from him and walked around House, brushing his shoulder along the way like the time she had earlier that day.

"Well, can I at least call you?" House called after her.

"Bug off, House!"

House couldn't help it and smiled as he watched her leave the school building. He had never before come across a girl that didn't want to date him. Even if they thought he was the most irritating person on the planet, girls somehow just couldn't resist his dashing good looks and charm. His bad boy image had gotten him so far with the ladies and yet Lisa Cuddy was somehow resistant to it all.

The fact that going after her was difficult intrigued him all the more. House was always up for a challenge and he wasn't about to back down yet. Plus, if he lost that bet to James, he would be hearing about it for the rest of his life.
