Chap. 1.

Even as a child Spock had always felt different. He knew it was because he was only half Vulcan, the other half was human. There were times where he wished that he was not half human but it only took one look at his mother and he would forget his wish. It was not his only problem, in his education on Vulcan he found that the other students despised him. He would go so far as describe their treatment of him to be of pure hate. He knew it to be illogical to call it hate since they were Vulcans and Vulcans do not show emotions. For some unexplained reason he wanted them to except him and therefore he worked as only a Vulcan could to become as Vulcan as possible. But the harder he worked the more they seemed to despise him. One of their favorite things to do was to try to make him have an emotional response. He fought hard not to respond to their tries. But one day they had success, for some reason it was not that they called his father a traitor that caused an emotional reaction in him, it was when they called his human mother a whore. He attacked one of them and nearly beat him to death. After the attack he sat waiting for his father to arrive, he should have known better than to attack the other student, but he lost control. As his father walked towards him he thought that he saw a flicker of disappointment in his father's face. He tried to explain but he knew that he should have controlled himself no matter what the provocation was. He felt that he had disappointed his father and he did not know what to do. He never told his father nor his mother what the other students had called his mother. After the attack his father and mother thought it best to spend some time away from Vulcan. His mother said it would only be until the tempers had calmed down. They went to Earth home of his mother. His father had work as a diplomat there and it gave Spock and his mother time to visit her family on earth.

His mother had been exited to know that her sister was on earth. Spock knew only that the sister of his mother was not quite human nor was her son Sebastian. His aunt was called Charlotte, she had planned that she and Sebastian would meet Spock and his mother in a park in Los Angeles for a picnic. As Spock and his mother approached Charlotte and Sebastian, Spock observed a very strange behavior in his cousin. His cousin was not wearing any shoes and was walking around the picnic area twirling around with his arms outstretched. Spock found this behavior strange and worrying. He did not know of any diseases that would cause this kind of behavior. And he found it strange that a young man who was 8 years older than himself would behave in this way. Spock could not find a logical explanation for the behavior of his cousin. Spock's aunt was sitting on a blanket she too wore no shoes, she was sitting looking up at the sky and wiggling her toes. Again an illogical behavior, Spock wanted to ask his mother about this behavior he thought it to be a human behavior that he had never seen his mother express. But he did not get time to ask her the question. His aunt all of a sudden looked away from the sky and sprang to her feet and his cousin stopped twirling around. They both looked at Spock and his mother and the smiled and begun running towards them. As the reached Spock and his mother they wrapped themselves Spock's mother in a tight embrace. And then they turned to Spock and did the same. Spock felt uncomfortable, his mother would hug him on rare occasions as she knew it always made him feel uncomfortable. Being half Vulcan Spock had telepathic abilities and whenever he touched someone he would feel a connection. But being embraced by his aunt and cousin gave him a feeling he had never felt before from a human, in truth he had only ever been embraced by his mother. But the feeling he got from them was so very strange than the feeling he got from his mother. He felt them inside his mind as if he had a bond with them, a bond much stronger than the one he had with T'Pring his chosen bondmate. However this connection was so much different and stronger. It felt warm and filled with….. filled with love. Spock did not understand. And there was a happiness radiating from them. Spock felt uncomfortable he was not used to feelings this strong. And their thoughts were so loud and it was as there were millions of them all at the same time. His aunt and cousin released him from their embrace but the bond was still there.

"Spock, why don't you go for a walk with you cousin?" His mother looked at him with a smile. "Yes mother" Spock looked at Sebastian. "Where should we go Bimra?" Sebastian looked at Spock. "I do not understand the word Bimra." Spock said looking at Sebastian. "Bimra means cousin in Zamaize." "What is Zamaize?" "I'm Zamaize." "You are human." Sebastian laughed, Spock did not understand what was funny. "Perhaps you should explain it to Spock while you walk?" Charlotte suggested. Sebastian smiled at his mother and said: "I'm sure I will enjoy myself as I do so Asala." Sebastian reached out to put his hand on Spock's shoulder but Spock pulled slightly away. Spock expected to see his cousins face expression to change but it did not. "Let us go this way Bimra." He said and pointed in the opposite direction than the one Spock and his mother had come from. Spock followed Sebastian. As they walked in the park Sebastian started to explain what the Zamaize was. The Zamaize was a lifeform that was energy with intelligence. It could only exist in a host. It could lie dormant in a host if it did not find the host suited to form a connection. A connection could only be formed if both the Zamaize and the host both agreed on forming the connection. How deep the connection would be would depend solely on the host. The more of itself the host was willing to give the more the Zamaize would give in return. If a host would decide to keep secrets for the Zamaize the Zamaize in turn would keep secrets from the host. If there were limits in the connection it would be called Wal'taq. A connection without limits was called Boul'tag. "What kind of connection do you have with the Zamaize?" "My connection is Boul'tag Bimra." "What do you get from this Boul'tag?" "I get knowledge, the ability to sense emotions from others, telepathy and powers to for example make it rain on at certain spot." "I can understand and believe the first things you mentioned but not the last. It is illogical that a lifeform can give you the ability to make it rain." "Why is it illogical that a lifeform can help me make it rain?" "Rain is caused be meteorological reactions in the atmosphere." Sebastian laughed. "Why does what I say amuse you?" "It is the logical Vulcan part of you that amuses me Bimra." "I fail to see why my Vulcan side amuse you?" "It is amusing because you seek to find logic in everything. Even when there is no logic to be found. In time you will learn to accept that the best things in life rarely makes no logic at all." "I fail to see the logic in that statement" Sebastian laughed again. "I foresee Bimra. That only when you accept the human side of yourself and that logic does not apply to all aspects of life will you find true happiness." Spock stopped and stared at Sebastian. "I fail to understand you statement" "Those Zamaize that are Boul'tag have the ability to see the future. We see many futures as no future is cast in stone. Any future is affected by the choices made. I cannot tell you which choices to make that you will have figure out for yourself. I can only foresee the futures if I interfere with a possible future it will not happen." "I choose to be Vulcan!" Spock turned around and walked away from Sebastian. His cousin made no sense at all, he was the most illogical creature Spock had ever encountered. Sebastian smiled, for some reason he already knew that being completely Vulcan was not in the future of Spock and this was not only due to him having a human mother. Once back with their mothers, Spock and Sebastian ate a picnic lunch without Spock saying a word to Sebastian. Spock's mother wondered what Sebastian had told Spock that would make him not talk to him at all she did not however question him on the matter.

Chap. 2

For as long as Nyota could remember she had always loved languages. Her love had made her learn new languages all the time. In school one would always find her with a book or PADD in her hand teaching herself a new language. Her classmates called her a nerd. She did not mind. If wanting to excel made her a nerd so be it. Apart from reading and teaching herself new languages she loved looking at the sky, she preferred to look at it at night looking at all the stars. She dreamed of one day visiting all the stars, she knew that visiting all the stars was an illogical dream but she did not care it was a dream of hers. She knew that the only way she would have a small chance of visiting the stars was to join the Federation Starfleet. And to do that she would first have to get accepted into the Starfleet Academy. She had spent most of the summer teaching herself Vulcan, she already spoke Romulan and Klingon, not fluently but she was sure it was close. She hoped that her knowledge of languages would help her secure here acceptance at the Starfleet Academy. Her career counselor at her high school had been of great assistance in obtaining the forms to apply to Starfleet Academy and only yesterday she had received a response. An officer from the Starfleet Academy would arrive at her home to perform an interview to asses her ability. She hoped to strike him or her, for she only knew it to be a captain Pike, as intelligent but not overly so. She wanted to show captain Pike that she really wanted to make a career in the Starfleet and that she would not use the Starfleet Academy as a way of getting an education only to leave to a job outside the Starfleet. The Starfleet was her dream to make her other dream come true. Captain Pike was due to arrive in 3 days and Nyota could hardly wait. Her parents did not approve of her choice of career. They wanted her to stay on earth, her mother suggested that she become a teacher and her father wanted her to become a translator. They believed it to be dangerous to travel in space and it to be even more dangerous to explore new planets. Their disapproval of her choice of career made her want it even more. Her father called it a teenage rebellion. Nyota knew that her mother secretly hoped that she would fall madly in love with the boy who had taken her to the prom, believing that if she was hopelessly in love with this boy that she would make a miracle happen and make her forget all about the Starfleet. That was not likely to happen. The boy who had taken her to prom was a jock who had only wanted to take her so he could get into her pants. That had not happen, in fact she was pretty sure that he would never look at her again without feeling pain in his groin. She had from early childhood studied martial arts but she did not use it that night, she instead had kneed him hard and effectively in the groin and had left him crumbled at the ground. She had yet to find a reason to tell her parents of the incident. She was proud that she knew how to protect herself and had hopes that this too would be a skill that would help her get into the Starfleet Academy.

This afternoon Nyota was sitting at her favorite spot by the little waterhole about half an hour on horseback from her home in Africa. There was a tree that gave a wonderful shadow and she loved sitting here reading and listening to the sounds of the savanna. She put her book down and rose and walked to the side of the waterhole and kneeled down. She looked at her reflection in the water, she liked what she saw. In the small ripples of the water she could see her skin, her mother always told her that she had perfect skin. She lifted her hand and touched her cheek it was soft and smooth. She looked at her almond shaped eyes and smiled. Her teeth were white and made a beautiful contrast to her chocolate colored skin. Her lips were soft and only a little darker than her skin. She rose slightly and took in the sight of her torso in the water. Her breasts were full and she knew that boys at her high school had been talking about if they were real. They were real, she would never change anything on her body. Her waist was slim and her hips had a perfect curve. She loved the way her ass looked in tight pants and she preferred to wear pants because the not only showed of her ass, they also showed her long legs. Nyota thought about her body and wondered if she would ever meet anyone she would give her body too. Not only her body but also her mind. For Nyota there could be no other way, it had to be body and mind at the same time. But would she ever find someone who would have both? Most of the boys in her high school seemed to only want her body, and the few boys who wanted her mind as well did not seem to know what to do with her body. She prayed that she would get accepted to the Starfleet Academy and that she there would meet a man who wanted all of her, mind and body. Nyota rose and walked back to the tree and sat down. She picked up her book and continued to read. It was a book in Vulcan, it was difficult to read because many of the words had more than one meaning. It all depended on the context. The difficulty of reading the Vulcan book intrigued her. It felt like a challenge and she loved it.

Several hours later and only a few pages further along in her book she looked up to see that the sun was beginning to set. Regretfully she closed the book and rose. She walked over to her horse. The horse had been a gift from her parents for her tenth birthday, she had named him Emmit. Emmit had soon become her close friend and confident. She had told him everything. She all of a sudden realized that if she got accepted to the Starfleet Academy she would not get to see him everyday, ride him everyday or confide in him everyday. If she was accepted she would only have 7 weeks before she would have to leave for Los Angeles. If she got accepted she would miss him everyday. She wondered if there were stables close to the Academy and if they did if there would time for her to ride Emmit. She wondered if her parents would pay to have Emmit shipped to Los Angeles, they probably would not. She knew that they knew that Emmit would be one more reason for her to come home other than to visit her family.

The next days passed by so slowly, to Nyota it felt like time stood still. Finally the day of captain Pikes visit arrived, Nyota had in the passing days tried to prepare herself. She wanted to look and sound like a perfect candidate for the Starfleet Academy. She had practiced what she wanted to say even though she had no idea what kind of questions captain Pike was going to ask. She had picked out a skirt and a top, the skirt was greenish blue and the top was white with a flowerlike print on the left shoulder. She had chosen to wear sandal in white leather with leather straps around her ankle. She wanted to wear some jewelry and she picked out a silver necklace with a drop shaped glass bead her brother had made. It was her favorite necklace. Nyota wanted to look fresh for captain Pike's visit, so she slept in and ate a late breakfast. Captain Pike was due to arrive at noon, so when Nyota entered the shower she had no idea that captain Pike was arriving at her family home. Nyota sang in the shower so loud it could be heard in the living room. She had no idea that her parents were entertaining captain Pike in the living room. Her mother looked slightly embarrassed but captain Pike smiled and took a sip of the glass of homemade cider he had been offered. When Nyota's mother heard Nyota stop singing and the water being turned off she excused herself to captain Pike and went to her daughter's room. Nyota had just entered her room and thrown her towel in a chair when her mother entered her room. "Captain Pike has arrived." Nyota looked shocked. "But captain Pike was not due to arrive yet." Nyota started to pull on her clothes as fast as possible. "Relax Nyota, your father and I are entertaining him." Nyota looked at her mother with shock painted all over her face. She wondered if they were going to tell him that they did NOT want her to join the Starfleet. "He is a very nice man, he has apologized for being early." Nyota did not know what to say and she was struggling to make her skirt sit the right way on her hips while attempting to pull her top on at the same time. When she was satisfied whit the skirt and top she quickly turned her attention to her sandals. Then she tied her hair back in a ponytail and picked up her necklace. She was getting nervous and she dropped it at the floor. Her mother picked it up. "Breathe Nyota." Nyota was facing the mirror in her room and she caught her mother's eyes in the mirror. "All my preparations are….. all of a sudden I'm so nervous." "You have nothing to be nervous about sweetheart. You are ready." Nyota watched as her mother placed her necklace around her neck. "I thought that you and father did not want me to go." "If we have sounded that way it is only because we are selfish. We love you and want you as close to us as possible. You are our youngest and maybe we are just not ready for you to leave. But we will be sweetheart." Nyota turned around and threw her arms around her mother and hugged her tightly. "I love you so much mama." And then Nyota walked downstairs to the living room.

As Nyota entered the living room captain Pike put down his glass and rose to great her. He was a man that had a natural authority to him that demanded a natural respect. "Miss Uhura, it is very nice to finally meet you." "Nice too meet you too captain Pike." "Please excuse my being so early, whoever made my travel arrangement appeared to have miscalculated the time zones." "No apology necessary captain." Nyota's father cleared his throat and said; "My wife and I will leave you." "Thank you Mr. Uhura." He then turned his attention back to Nyota and said; "Shall we sit?" "We shall" Nyota said and walked over to the chair her father had just left and sat down. "Well," captain Pike said as he sat down, "we were very impressed when we read your file at the Academy." "Thank you Sir." "And there was no doubt in the board of acceptance that you would make and excellent cadet at the Academy, but…" "But what Sir?" Captain Pike smiled at her. "But even though you have perfect papers and excellent written statements from you high school teachers the Academy always insist on conducting an interview with the potential cadet. Just to make sure that the person in question has not changed his or hers mind since the application was sent." "I can assure you that I have not changed my mind." Nyota said. "We also want to make sure that a cadet has support from home. Four years is a long time away from home." "I want to be perfectly honest with you captain, up until about 15 minutes ago I thought that my parents were against my joining the Starfleet." Captain Pike raised an eyebrow. "What has changed in the last 15 minutes?" "Something my mother said about them not being ready for their youngest to leave home. But she assured me that they will be." Captain Pike smiled at her again. "Most parents are never ready when their children wishes to leave home. But in case you did not know Miss Uhura I can inform you that you parents are very proud that we are happy to accept you as a cadet at the Starfleet Academy." "I have been accepted?" "Indeed you have Miss Uhura, all I need is a signature on this form," he took a PADD from his bag on the floor, "and it is official. Your parents have already signed." He told her as he handed the PADD over to her. Nyota looked at her parents signatures as she signed herself. She handed the PADD back to captain Pike. "Welcome to the Starfleet Academy miss Uhura." "Thank you captain." "I suspect that one day I will be lucky enough to have you as a valued part of my crew." "It would be an honor to serve with you captain." Captain Pike looked at his watch and rose from his seat. "I would have liked to get to know you better cadet Uhura but unfortunately I have other future cadets to interview. But I'm sure that I will see you at the Academy." "Indeed you will captain, and thank you very much for making the journey to my home." Nyota said as she too rose. She walked him to the front door and wished him a safe journey. Then she walked into to the kitchen where her parents were waiting. "I am now officially a cadet at the Starfleet Academy." Her parents smiled at her. "Congratulations sweetheart." Her mother said.

The time leading up to her departure went by so fast and before she knew it Nyota was packing her bags. Once finished packing Nyota took a look around her room. It had been her home for a little over 18 years and now she was leaving. She knew that after she had graduated from the Starfleet Academy she would most likely be assigned to a starship. In the breaks between semesters at the this would still be her home, but she knew in her heart that she would from now on feel different about her home. As she took her last case to the lobby at the front door she smiled. She was ready to start a new life but she knew that she would miss her old life. She put her case down and walked out the door and down to the stables. She found Emmit waiting for her. He came to her and put his big head to her chest. She put her arms around his neck and whispered in his ear. "I have to leave you Emmit. But I will take you with me in my heart where ever I go."

Chap. 3.

Nyota was sitting in the shuttle on the last leg of her journey to the Starfleet Academy. She was a bit annoyed. There was a hick in the Shuttle by the name of Jim Kirk. How he had gained acceptance to the Starfleet Academy she had no idea. Annoying was the most polite word she think of to describe her feelings towards Jim Kirk. The night before he had made a pass at her, been in a fight and during the fight he had grabbed her breasts. Had he not been pulled away from her at the moment he had grabbed her breasts she would most likely have broken every bone in both his hands. She now hoped that she would not have to be in any classes with him. She looked out the window and tried to remember a Vulcan poem instead of thinking about Jim Kirk. She was not about to let Jim Kirk ruin her first day at the Starfleet Academy. She found her mind to begin drifting, wondering if her luggage had arrived, who her roommate would be and hoping that she would get along with her roommate, hoping that she would make friends at the Starfleet Academy.

Spock stood in the hangar waiting for shuttles to arrive. He had been assigned to be here to welcome a specific group of new cadets at the Starfleet Academy. He remembered when he had arrived at the Academy 7 years earlier. He had arrived in a shuttle filled with humans who appeared overly excited. He had found their excitement illogical. He himself attended the Starfleet due to a comment made by the elders. It had been a comment about his mother. He knew that his choice to go to the Starfleet Academy was seen as very illogical and it was blamed on his human side. Amongst his fellow cadet students at the Academy he had found himself out of place, but it was not a new feeling he had felt that way since he was a child. His mother had always said that he was a child of two worlds but Spock had always failed to understand what she meant. He had been the best in any class he took and after having graduated he had been offered at position as at professor at the Academy teaching Vulcan. He had found it logical to accept. Now he was teaching several classes, and was also programming the Kobayashi Maru. As a student and as a professor he had only experienced academic success but there was one area in which he had not been successful. Being social was not an art he mastered. He seemed to be unable to make friends as the humans called it. There was only one man that Spock would come close to calling a friend, captain Christopher Pike. Spock liked that captain Pike never used the phrase 'how are you feeling today'. Spock had noticed that captain Pike only made a decision once he had all the possible information available. Spock found that way of making decisions very logical. Captain Pike would from time to time invite him to lunch or dinner and he would accept as he knew it to be what was expected to do when asked by a friend.

Spock checked his internal watch, the shuttle that carried the cadets he was to welcome was due to arrive in 9.32 minutes. He found himself standing alone, he did not need to be waiting with anyone. Several cadets in their second, third and fourth year had arrived. Spock had been observing them gather in smaller groups greeting each other. He had heard them comment on him being there. He had heard one cadet say; "I feel bad for the first year cadets being greeted by that pointy-eared-green-blooded-know-it-all bastard of a professor." Spock had recognized the student as a third year student who had failed his Vulcan class. Spock expected the comment to be a result of uncontrolled feelings. He found this display of uncontrolled emotions illogical. The student had no one to blame for his failed class but himself. 2.04 minutes until the shuttle would arrive. Spock had placed himself at the dock where the shuttle with the cadets he were to greet arrive. He was in his Starfleet Academy uniform and he stood waiting with his hands behind his back. He always kept his arms behind his back, he found it the best way to avoid touching the skin of anyone and thereby avoiding a telepathic connection.

As the shuttle approached the docks Nyota bent forward to look out the window hoping to get a first glance at what would be her home for the next four years. But everybody else in the shuttle also wanted to get a first look so all that Nyota could see were the back of the head of the girl sitting next to her. Nyota was a little disappointed so she leaned back. When the shuttle landed Nyota unfastened her seatbelt grabbed her handbag from under the seat and stood up. There were two doors in the shuttle and she was closest to the front door so she started walking towards it. From the voices behind her Nyota concluded that Jim 'the hick' Kirk was stepping on people's feet and pushing his was past the other cadets to get to the front door. Just as Nyota reached the front door she felt a push in the back and she just knew that she was going to fall. Nyota let go of her handbag so that she would be able to brace her fall with both of her hands.

Spock had watched at the shuttle had landed. He waited until the doors were opening before he made his way to the front door of the shuttle. He studied the cadets as the exited the shuttle. From what he heard he concluded that someone was trying to get out faster. And just as a pleasant looking female cadet came to the front door she appeared to receive a push from behind and started to fall. As she started to fall Spock noticed that she let go of her handbag, a logical thing to do, since it would allow her to brace her fall with both hands. In 0.17 second Spock decided not to let the female cadet fall.

Just as Nyota thought she was going to fall someone caught hold of her arm at the elbow and prevented her from falling. Whoever saved her from falling also managed to catch her handbag with just one finger which she found impressive since there was a PADD in her saviors hand. Her savior quickly helped her gain her balance. And in the short time it took him to do so she couldn't help but notice that his hand on her arm was hot, really hot. He released her arm and offered her handbag back to her. When he did she noticed that he was not human, he was a Vulcan. He was the first Vulcan she had ever met up until that point she had only seen pictures of Vulcans. He was wearing a commander's uniform. "Thank you for saving me from falling commander." Nyota said and smiled at him. He did not smile back at her, she had not expected him too, Vulcans do not show any kind of emotion.

Spock had taken one quick step forward and was able to catch hold of the cadet's arm by the elbow and at the same time catch her handbag before it hit the ground. The touch of her skin under his hand felt like electricity to him. In a spit second he was overwhelmed by flashes of her emotions and memories. In the 4.32 seconds it took him to help her regain her balance he saw and felt more from her than he had ever thought possible without being bonded. He saw her home, her room, a horse, her parents, a bar, a fight in a bar. He felt pride of being accepted at the Starfleet Academy, love for her parents, a feel of freedom riding her horse, anger at some 'hick'. It took him 0.07 second to make a decision to find out what a 'hick' was. And even faster he decided to never touch her skin again. The depth of the connection he had had with her had shocked him and he found himself wondering if she had felt their short connection. He heard her thank him and saw her smile at him. Spock did not smile back he looked at her and said: "You are welcome cadet."

Both Nyota and Spock heard a voice behind her say: "Nice catch." By the anger that sprang from the female cadets eyes Spock concluded that owner of the voice had to be the 'hick'. Nyota could have killed Jim 'the hick' Kirk for that comment. Spock looked at the owner of the voice and asked; "Who are you cadet?" "James T. Kirk, Jim to friends. At your service commander." Spock tapped on his PADD and said: "You are not on any list of arriving cadets mr. Kirk. Would you care to explain why you were on this Starfleet Academy shuttle?" "I can explain that." A voice said. Spock turned his head and saw that captain Pike was approaching. "There were some problems with cadet Kirks application to Starfleet Academy, I will make sure they are in order by the end of the day commander Spock." Spock gave a quick nod to captain Pike in acceptance. "Kirk follow me." Captain Pike said and turned around and started walking away assuming that Jim Kirk would follow him. Jim Kirk looked at Spock and then at Nyota and said: "After everything we have been through you really should tell me your name." When Nyota did not answer Jim Kirk shrugged his shoulders and started to follow captain Pike.

Once Jim Kirk had left Spock turned his attention back to his PADD. He did a quick name call and was pleased that the cadets he was meant to greet was all there. Spock had the students follow him to the administration building. Here they would register and receive a PADD, Spock informed them that their schedule was in their PADD as well as a map of the entire Starfleet Academy and dorm-area. Then he led them to the dorm administration office and informed them that here they would receive their code for their dorm room and then he left them there. Spock had originally planned to attempt to be friendly. To tell the students where to find different things, but his short telepathic connection with cadet Uhura had caused him to abandon his original plan.

As commander Spock led them from one office to an other Nyota found her looking at the commander. Nyota thought that he looked different than the pictures she had seen of Vulcans. His eyes were different and his eyebrows were different too. She had no idea as to why, she wanted to ask but her research of the Vulcan race prior to coming to the Starfleet Academy told her that her question would not be welcomed nor answered. Nyota kept looking at Spock, he was tall and slim. She wandered how strong he was, she knew that Vulcans were stronger than humans. Nyota wandered if he had always had the typical Vulcan haircut. All too soon they arrived at the dorm administration office and Spock left, Nyotal looked at his back as he left. She got the code for her room and went searching for her room. Nyota found her room easily with the help of her PADD, she entered the code and the door slid open. She was pleased to see that her luggage as promised was already in her room. And then she saw the girl she would be sharing the room with for the next 4 years. The girl was green, an orion Nyota told herself. "Hi there roomie, I'm Gaila." "Hi roomie" Nyota said trying on the slang word for roommate "I'm Nyota." "I've arrived two hours ago. Your luggage came one hour ago. I was wondering if I should unpack your luggage. But I've heard that some people does not like when other people unpack their luggage so I chose not to unpack your luggage." Nyota found herself wondering if Gaila always talked so much. "Do you want me to help you unpack? I have already unpacked my own luggage." Nyota smiled at Gaila. "I would love some help unpacking." "Do you have any dresses?" "A few but not a lot." "You look about the same size as me you can borrow any of my dresses you want any time you want." "I don't have a lot of dresses but feel free to borrow any of them." Nyota said smiling at Gaila. "I just know that we are going to be best friends." Gaila said "We are going to live together, study together, shop together, party together. We are going to have the best four years together." Nyota smiled again hoping that Gaila would be right.
