Chapter 2
We sat down with our plates of food that we got from the replicator, which took a while for us to figure out. "Hey Rebecca, do you think we are really here or is this just some weird crazy dream we or one of us are having?"
"I do not know. Have you ever had a dream where you knew you were out of place?"
"Not that I remember." We sat in silence till a certain guy with blond hair and blue eyes came up.
"Hey, Caitlin Why are you not sitting with me today?" He said half joking as he sat down beside her.
"Was I supposed to?"
"You did not have to but you usually do"
"Well, I wanted to sit with Rebecca today."
"I see" he said looking slightly baffled to her answer. "Hey Bones over here!" He yelled so suddenly it made me cringe slightly for he said that so loud.
"Jim, Caitlin, why are you two bothering this innocent vulcan?" He asked in a slight annoyed manner
"She's my friend right Rebecca?" Caitlin said in a hoping manner like I would say no.
"Yes, we are friends" I stated in a more monotone voice as Bones sat down beside me.
"So, How are you today Rebecca?" Jim asked.
"I am well thank you for asking" I said giving him a slight smirk. Which caused Jim and Bones to give me a weird look.
"Cat, How on earth did you get her to do that?!"
"I didn't do anything!" exclaimed Caitlin
"Sure you didn't." Jim stated unbelievably. "Do you know how long I tried to get the two vulcans here to show some type of emotion on their face?"
"No…." Caitlin said unsure
"Ever since I met her"
"Oh…"
This went on for quite some time. so I just went back to enjoying my food. After a while I became aware that someone was watching me. Curiously, I look up from my food to see that it was Uhura that was staring or more like glaring. When she saw that I noticed she got up and walked to the table. "Why weren't you in class today, Becky." She half yelled. I cringed at her using my least favorite nickname.
"I was not feeling quite well and please do not refer to me as Becky" I said calmly
"Then why did you not go to medbay"
"Because it was not bad enough to go to medbay." I stated now struggling to keep my voice calm.
"You know what Becky you where the last person I thought would hang around Kirk's group" she said dryly. Then add "and don't think I won't tell professor Spock that you skipped his class." she then turned and walked away She I glared at her till she was out of my line of view.
"You must be sick if you're acting all emotional" Bones said.
"No I'm not sick I just simply overslept today" I replied
"Really?" Jim asked unconvinced.
"Yeah, I did right Caitlin?"
"Right" Caitlin said
"I thought Vulcans can't lie" Bones questioned.
"It Illogical to lie, not that it is impossible for us to lie" I answered.
After that Jim got up and said "Come on Caitlin we got to head to our class now."
"Okay…" Caitlin said getting up to leave. She turned to me and waved to me while walking out of the cafeteria. Then it was just me and Bones. He was just staring at me and after a while I stared back. We did this for a while till he decided to break the silence.
"So, you want to hang out till our next class?" He asked uncertain. I looked at him confused for a second too long so he add "You know since we have a few hours to spare and we are in the same class"
"Sure, sounds like fun." I said
"Where would you like to go?"
"You can pick"
"We can go to the arcade if you like to play video games"
"I would love to go play some games" I said giving him a reassuring simile.
"Alright then let's go." he said getting up from his seat
"Lead the way."
After beating Bones at over half the games at the arcade we all but ran to get to class. We made it just in the nick of time. The class was a medical class which surprised me slightly for I thought I would be more of a communicator or something. "Would you like to work with me today?" Bones asked.
"Sure" I said. We worked together the whole time during class, which the teacher seemed surprised about. After class I waited for Bones to finished packing his bag then we left together.
"So… you lived on earth your whole life. How was that like?" He asked trying to start up a conversation
"It was alright I guess." I replied thinking of my childhood, which I could actually remember, not my real childhood, but whoever I was now childhood.
He sat down on a bench and I sat down beside him looking at the sunset. "Did you have a lot a friends?"
"Not really" I said thinking back. "But it was not by choice, people just ignored me or made fun at my attempts to make friends." I added
"Why?"
"I was rather energetic and emotional as a child, most kids thought that Vulcan where emotionless and thought it was funny that I was attempting to be 'human'" I said moving my hand to make quotation marks around the word human.
"But you're part human right, so why would they make fun of you for acting human?" He asked.
"Right..." I said after thinking for a while I continued, "But most humans see me as Vulcan and most Vulcans see me as human." I paused waiting for him to say something but when he did not I added, "Even you, Kirk and Uhura think that. It… It makes me feel like I have to act more vulcan like then I truly want to." I replied the sighing the last part.
"You know we don't mean to make you feel like that. You can act anyway you want to around us"
"Thank you Bones" I said giving him a smile, which he returned
"Anytime" he simply answered.
"Well I should go back to my room"
"I will walk back with ya" he offered and we turned toward the dorms and started the long trek back to my room.
