Four months ago S'chn T'gai Spock and his parents; Sarek and Amanda, moved from Vulcan to Earth. Sarek was an ambassador for Vulcan, his wife Amanda was human and their son was half Vulcan, half human. While they lived on Vulcan Spock was taught and trained in the Vulcan way of life, however now they were living on Earth Amanda was determined to show Spock that a half human heritage wasn't so bad. Spock had been bullied by other full Vulcan children for his human heritage, causing him to repress it as much as possible.

Three months ago Spock started high school in Iowa on Earth. It was very different to his school back on Vulcan. 'Noisy', 'disorganised' and 'unhygienic' (human teenagers were filthy creatures) were three words he chose to describe his first day when his mother had asked. There had been some stares and whispering, he was the 'new kid', that was to be expected, but no one had been mean or rude.

Two point five months ago Spock made his first human friend, her name was Nyota. Nyota Uhura was an elegant, dark skinned young lady, she was very intelligent and also not from Iowa. They had met in linguistics class, Nyota was determined to become fluent in as many languages as she could and Spock had offered to help her with her Vulcan pronunciation. They spent many hours studying after school and always met to eat before heading to the library during lunch break. Amanda was so thrilled Spock had made a friend, she cried tears of joy the first night Spock had brought Nyota over to study, she had been so worried that her son would never find his place in the world.

One point five months ago Spock had been made aware of the existence of one James Tiberius Kirk. Jim, to everyone that knew him, was a rather fascinating specimen. He had short blonde hair, a body that he would very well grow into as a young adult, a charming smile and the bluest eyes Spock had ever seen. Jim was a trouble maker and Spock had wondered how he had ended up in a school such as this one (you had to be smarter than the average person to attend this school, a lot smarter). Spock had consulted Nyota on the matter, she didn't know a lot about Jim (he was a delinquent and not worth her time), she did happen to know that Jim's best friend was Leonard 'Bones' McCoy. McCoy was in his final year of high school and preparing to go to med school; he was top of his class. This information made Spock even more intrigued. Not long after there had been a class test (Spock and Jim shared two classes), to Spock's great surprise Jim was in the top three students when their marks were given.

Three weeks ago Spock started to catch Jim staring at him. At first Jim would look away when he got caught, but soon he progressed into giving Spock one of his glowing smiles and winking at him. Spock's response was always the same; a raised eyebrow, he had no idea why Jim was doing this but decided it was harmless so he dismissed it.

One week ago Jim asked Spock to sit with him and McCoy at lunch. Spock had politely declined and taken his regular seat across from Nyota. He couldn't help but notice that Jim seemed visibly saddened by Spock's rejection.

Three days ago, a Friday, Jim had sat next to Spock in class, Spock raised an eyebrow at him (as had become a common reaction to Jim and his doings). Jim beamed and handed him a note: "What are you doing this weekend? Wanna hang out?" Spock was surprised by the forwardness, and secretly a little bit tempted, but he had agreed to study with Nyota. "I will be studying, perhaps another time." Spock quickly wrote underneath Jim's less than neat handwriting and handed the piece of paper back as the teacher walked into the room.

Today was Monday; the start of a new school week, and apparently the start of something else…ah, of course, this Saturday was the Earth holiday of 'Valentine's Day.' The halls had been lined with pink paper hearts and fake flowers; it appeared that 'love was in the air.' Couples seemed a lot more dewy eyed this morning and Spock had to react quickly to escape being bumped into by accident. He was a very talented touch telepath, and while he always had mental protective shields in place he still preferred to avoid touching people if he could, especially humans (their emotions were so loud and strong). Spock finally made it to his locker to retrieve his things for his first class and was shocked to see a single flower waiting inside for him. Hesitantly, Spock picked up the large pale purple-pink flower and realised there was a note attached to it.

"Gerbera Daisy – for beauty, innocence and purity" the note read.

"What have you got there?" Nyota asked.

Spock almost jumped out of his skin and hid the flower immediately, it was not often that someone could sneak up on him.

Nyota laughed "sorry, did I scare you? I didn't know that was possible. Anyway, what were you looking at?" She tried to see into his locker.

"Nothing," He grabbed his books and closed the locker "I was getting my books."

She gave him a weird look but let it go and began talking about something else, but Spock wasn't paying attention, he was thinking about the appearance of the flower and note in his locker. How did it get in there? Who put it there? Was it a romantic gesture or a joke?

When the final bell had rung for the day Spock made sure Nyota wasn't around and went to his locker, he gently put the flower and note into his backpack and shut the door.
