It was a typical Wednesday night, Meredith was exiled from her dorm room and found a study room. Cole was walking back from a party with his roommates. As they passed by the study room, the trio noticed a beautiful girl. They always saw her in passing, but never met her... Next thing you know, Cole's drunk roommate was belting Usher through Raines' hallways and began serenading her. She was looking at him for help, but Cole could have sworn she was wishing HE was belting Usher to her...though that is neither here nor there... Next thing you know, 24 hours later, Cole passes by the study room to find the same cute girl working hard again. This time, he left the reinforcements behind. Meredith breaks the silent study session to ask Cole if he knew anything about the Great Depression...and the rest was history!
