Hi, everyone… I've just started rewatching the whole show and so I decided to write a story because I have always been a 'Hameron kinda gal' and I have always liked them together. I just love House and his annoying ways, therefore to keep him in character (hopefully) I have to put Cameron kind of OOC. Anyways, it's just another way for them to meet and I guess there are other stories similar to mine, yet I hope you'll like it and you'll have a good time reading it. He is an ass but in my story as well as in my mind, he is capable of loving someone. Also, English is not my first language so I'm sorry for all the mistakes.

And the weird title is actually to catch your attention. Lol.

CHAPTER 1

'What the hell?'

House was sitting at the table playing his gameboy when Cuddy stormed into his office. It was already quite late and he was hoping she wouldn't be at the hospital anymore. But she was.

"House, I told you to hire someone. Why is it that you never do anything I tell you to?" She asked in an angry voice.

"It is because I usually don't listen to you in the first place." He told her without even raising his eyes to look up.

"Look, I'm the boss..."

"Yeah, yeah..." He interrupted her. "Not gonna do that. Chase and Foreman will do."

"I told you to hire a woman as well." She growled giving him an intense stare.

"Bros before hoes..." He shrugged indifferently. "Besides, women are incapable to do the job well. With all those PMS, emotional rollercoasters and their rattling on about babies, rainbow and unicorns..."

"Unicorns? Are you outta your mind? We're not talking here about a five-year old orphan you should adopt! I'd be calling social service immediately if you did." She yelled heatedly.

"You see?!" He said and looked at her for the first time. "You're one of them and that's why I want to keep far away from you as well as from any other woman. I don't need another drama queen here. I've got the Aussie dolt."

"You're such an idiot!" She squeaked and threw a bunch of files at him. "Here... I've picked three applicants for you. All you have to do is to choose one of them by tomorrow morning."

"Not gonna happen..." He stated matter-of-factly but Cuddy calmed down a little and gave him a half smile.

"If you don't tell me one name by tomorrow, Kate Tremblay it is… then." She said. "They all are med students graduating this year and they all are very good."

"What? Who's Kate Trembletail?" He asked angrily.

"Just read the files." Cuddy answered back. "Have a pleasant night picking your new duckling." With that she turned and left his office. House sighed and dry swallowed two Vicodins before he reached out to take the file marked Kate Tremblay. He opened it and his eyes widened.

"Oh my god..." He gasped.

Kate's photo enclosed to her application was all he needed to see.

"Huh... That's Cuddy's game..." He uttered absent-mindedly and rolled his eyes. Kate was in her mid-twenties, she was frowning and she was just... ahem... superugly. He flipped through her file and found out she was the top of her class, publishing articles in various medical magazines and also had done an internship at the hospital. At that point, House knew he had to look at the other two applications and pick one of those otherwise this brown noser would make his life hell..

He took the second file and did what any other real pro would do... he looked at the photo first. The girl was cute. Actually she was really hot.

He then took the third file and checked the photo as well. Hot. Again. He frowned and read a little bit about the applicant. Her name was Allison Cameron, she was an okay student but in comparison with the other cute girl and Kate 'Tremblenut', she didn't seem to do much to make her CV impressing. He liked it.

House threw the file back on the table and smiled. He'd hire this Cameron girl who he knew would not be too eager to learn too much, Cuddy would leave him alone and altogether it was a win-win situation. He closed his eyes and relaxed in his chair.


"So, who is it, House?" Cuddy asked immediately when she saw House enter the hospital the next morning. "Should I call Kate Tremblay to tell her the good news?"

"Huh... I can see what you did there and even though I enjoy making your life miserable, I don't really feel like ruining my own as well. I'll take the Camomile-hottie." He snarled and hobbled to the elevator.

Cuddy smiled and nodded. "Cameron? Okay. I'll tell her to drop by at your office in the afternoon. Good choice, House."

House didn't pay attention to her anymore and she headed to her office right after.

The day passed quickly since it was already 1pm when House actually arrived at work. He made Wilson buy him lunch, then it was time for his favorite soap and in the end there'd be a knock on the door. House turned off the TV reluctantly and muttered 'Come in' indifferently.

"Dr. House?"

"Yep... Can't you just read the letters on the door? Not enough time spent at preschool?" He grunted and gave the young, beautiful woman the most unpleasant look he could master. Her eyes widened a little bit before she stepped out of his office closing the door behind her. House looked baffled at first but a moment later he smiled satisfied with the shortest job interview ever. He scared her off with just one sentence. 'Easy peasy.' He thought.

He was about to turn the TV on again when he noticed she was still standing behind the glass door, her index finger pointing at one of the letters on the door. He raised an eyebrow and watched her with interest. She really was beautiful, even more than the photo showed. She had long auburn hair and big green eyes, full lips and she did have a great body.

A few seconds later her finger moved to the next letter as she mouthed something and it took her another two or three minutes to go through all the letters before she stopped doing whatever she was doing at the moment and knocked again.

"Dr. House." She said without raising her voice at the end.

House couldn't help but smile. She was good.

"My name is Allison Cameron and Dr. Cuddy sent me here because... and let me quote her here... You're looking for a happy med student to work with and to talk to, mainly about rainbows or something. Unquote. It happens to be my favorite meteorological phenomenon, actually... Just so you know." She said without a smile and sat down across from him although he hadn't told her to.

House's narrowed his eyes as he chuckled lightly. "Well, Cuddy lied. But don't worry, everybody does."

"I figured..." She snapped with her arms folded.

He watched her intensely for a while and so did she. "The truth being here... Um, well, don't raise your hopes cuz Cuddy forced me to hire you, there's no way out for me, and so the less you actually speak, the better. I already have here two alleged doctors who annoy me enough, I guess." House grumbled and Cameron just nodded. They were staring blankly at each other with a certain amount of disdain and the only thing that was actually missing at the exact moment was the sound of The Imperial March in the background.

"So..." House finally broke the silence after what seemed an unpleasant eternity. "What do you major in?"

Cameron licked her soft pink lips, smiled a little and remained silent. House's eyes never left hers as a smirk appeared on his lips and he grunted.

"Huh? You forgot? Gosh, are you even a med student?"

Cameron smiled more and nodded. She was enjoying the weird game they seemed to be playing and sat back in her chair. He, on the other hand let out a sigh and took her file that was still on his table. He opened it and looked at her again.

"It says you don't really do much outside the school... no publishing, no internship, no nothing. Why is that?"

She leaned in closer and put her chin in her right hand smiling and shrugging.

"I'm asking you a question here..." He growled angrily fed up with her, and popped a couple of Vicodin pills in his mouth.

"You told me the less I speak, the better. And even as absurd as it may seem, you're the boss here." She noted with amusement and stood up. "What time should I be here tomorrow?"

House looked up at her and shook his head in disbelief. "At eight sharp."

"Okay..."She nodded and reached out to shake his hand. House, being himself, waited a moment before shaking her hand firmly. As their hands touched, however, he felt something… something he hadn't felt in years. She smiled lightly as she withdrew her hand from his and turned to leave.

"It was nice to meet you..." She stated matter-of-factly without even looking at him and then she disappeared through the door..

'What the hell...?' She thought as soon as she made it to the elevator.

'What the hell...?' He thought as soon as he turned on the TV again.
