"What the hell is this?"
I just entered my room and now…. I think I'm seeing strange Alien sex.
My roommate just so happens to be naked and on top of a male redshirt. When she sees me, she falls off of him and onto the floor. He takes her sheets from her bed and places it over his junk. I cover my virgin eyes and turn to face the back of the room.
"Oops! Uhura! I'm so sorry!" Gaila exclaims. I don't respond but I make a run for the door. I'm running through the halls of Starfleet when two things hit me, which has been happening a lot lately…. Anyway, the first thing is a realization. I realize that it is now evening time and in order to sleep I will eventually have to go back to my shared room with Gaila. The second is a body. It's the second body that I've collided with today, but fortunately I am unable to knock this one down. I identify the body as a male. I know this because I'm accidentally molesting this male by firmly caressing his chest. My eyes trail from my hands on his chest, up to his face.
'Oh Gosh.'
"Professor Spock! I'm so sorry! I really didn't mean to-"
"It is quite alright Cadet." Although he says this, his face shows visible signs of shock. His face looks unnaturally green. I'm pretty sure there's another expression there that I'm not able to determine. I read in a book somewhere that Vulcans do not like to be touched and they surely don't show emotion. I don't know what's going on with this one.
"Is there any reason you are not in your room Cadet?" His face goes back to his normal undisturbed expression. He does that thing where he places his hands behind his back and gives me that piercing gaze.
"Oh. I had a bit of an altercation with my roommate so I'm getting a breath of fresh air before I go back in." I say to him. He nods his head in comprehension.
"Cadet I'm not sure you'll find a breath of fresh air in a dormitory hallway."
I laugh as he takes out his tablet. His attention is no longer on me and I feel uncomfortable just standing there.
"If you don't mind me asking, why are you here Professor Spock?" It's my turn to raise my eyebrow. He continues to use his tablet.
"There is a professor residing on every floor for safety precautions and guidance. My room is located approximately five feet from here." He points to door to the left. I laugh to myself. Is it necessary that he measure the distance from here to his room, when all he has to do is make a gesture?
"The Orion girl. Cadet Gaila." He says and looks up at me.
"Yes." I respond. Even though there wasn't any need for a response. He made a statement. It was not a question.
"May I inform you Cadet Uhura that Orions tend to be very sexual." He pauses. "That wouldn't be the cause of your altercation would it?"
My jaw drops. How did he know?
"Uh-" I am lost for words.
'Is he smirking right now?'
"Yes Professor Spock." I say to him. I hope he doesn't notice me staring at him. He puts his tablet away and looks at me directly in the eyes. For a moment, I'm petrified. I cannot read him and we're alone in this very dim-lit hallway.
"Cadet Uhura. If you would like, I could escort you to your dormitory and ensure that Miss Gaila is not involved in any inappropriate misconduct."
"I would appreciate that Professor Spock." I give him a small smile. Weirdly enough he takes the lead. I'm surprised that he knows where my room is. It's actually not too far from his.
Spock gives two forceful knocks on my door. We wait impatiently until the door abruptly opens.
"Oh Uhura! Baby I'm so sorry!" A teary eyed, half-naked Gaila lurches after Spock and envelops him in a huge hug. Now remember two things. Gaila is half naked and Spock is a Vulcan. I can't resist a laugh. Spock is extremely stiff. Like he's EXTREMELY stiff and he hasn't said a word. Gaila finally looks up.
"You're not Uhura…" She trails off as she lets him go. Spock straightens his outfit, stands very erect, and very quickly turns to leave the room. Gaila and I watch him as he escapes. Gaila and I then look at each other. She now knows that she doesn't have to ask for my forgiveness anymore. I forgave her the instant she made my Vulcan uncomfortable. I now know that Professor Spock is breakable.
"You have a thing for Professor Spock." Gaila says. She's sitting on the edge of her bed with one leg across her lap.
I sigh. It's only been a day and this happens. I'm attracted to my teacher. I saw alien sex. I knocked over a Russian boy and I made the teacher I'm attracted to uncomfortable! Well Gaila did, but I played a part in it also. Gaila is still looking at me. She can sense my distress.
"Gaila. Do you think Professor Spock will hate me now? I just met him!" I say as I bury my face into my pillow.
"Calm down lil geek." Gaila gives a silly smile. I look up from my pillow to glare at her. "If anything he won't hate you, but he'll hate me." Gaila giggles.
"Maybe I should see if he's upset tomorrow. I mean it's obvious he was experiencing some discomfort. Cuz let's be honest. He was supposed to come in to yell at you."
"You told him to yell at me!?" Gaila puts on a pout.
"I put him in this situation so maybe he'll blame me for it." I bite my lip out of worry.
"Vulcans don't even yell anyways." Gaila murmurs to herself. She's still wearing her pout.
"Well you had a boy in here!" I'm sitting up now. "Since we're on the topic, we might as well talk about it now. No boys in here." I demand. Her eyes begin to water.
"NO BOYS?!" She's really giving me the puppy face now.
"No boys while I'm here!" I tell her.
"Oh yeah. Cause I totally thought you were going to pop up while I was riding him." Her sarcasm is impeccable.
"Ugh. You know what! Just text me if you have a guy over, so I can steer clear. And don't have them over too much!" I raise my hands to my forehead. I already have too much to deal with.
"Fine." She says. She pulls her covers over her and turns to face the wall. Gosh she has such a tiny and adorable voice. It makes me feel a little bad.
"I'm not mad at you Gaila. I think you're a pretty cool roommate besides your horniness." I see her move slightly. "Besides, Professor Spock told me it's an Orion thing."
"He said that?" Gaila turns to face me.
'Point one for Nyota.'
"Yup. So I'm not too worried abut you. Goodnight!" I smile at her.
"Night Night!" Gaila's green face is the last thing I see before I drift off to sleep. But I cannot stop thinking about the face of a certain Vulcan.
In today's class Professor Spock hasn't looked at me once. It could be that Gaila is sitting next to me.
'He's not attracted to Gaila, is he?'
For a moment, I'm jealous. I look over at Gaila and start to pick out bad things about her.
'How could he like her? She's green…"
I shake my head out of it. I am NOT that type of girl. I will not put Gaila down due to jealousy. I'm not the jealous type anyway! As a matter of fact, I'm going to do what I do best. Win him over with friendly competition.
'I will make him look at me.'
I raise my hand. Spock cannot ignore me and turns his head in my direction. Unfortunately for me his stare is as apathetic as it usually is.
"Yes cadet?"
"I was just wondering how is it that these Klingons don't have an existing verb of 'to be?' Doesn't that seem illogical to you?"
"It does Cadet." His expression does not change.
"So how is it that they communicate without it?"
"That is a question for another time." His expression doesn't change and he turns back to the class to continue his lecture.
I am irritated. I am used to getting what I want. Please don't think I'm a spoiled brat, because I earn things. They aren't just given to me. I have been number one in my class in elementary, middle school, and high school. Did I mention that I was accepted into Starfleet early decision? Like hell am I going to give up? Its day two and I have discovered my target. I want Professor Spock.
Everyone has left the class and Professor Spock is still sitting at his desk. I'm standing impatiently in front of it, while he takes his time analyzing something on his tablet.
'No wonder all the other kids call him a douche.' I sigh while I wait impatiently. "A hot douche." His head instantly lifts up.
'I did not just say that out loud.'
"Uh-uh." I'm lost for words and extremely embarrassed. He does that adorable thing where he tilts his head to the side in confusion.
"A douche?"
"Uhhh."
"I am not familiar with that word." He starts tapping on his tablet. I can tell that he's looking it up.
"It's a French word!" I say abruptly. He looks back up at me. "Yeah, its –uh, a type of bread! It's really good. I had some this morning. Ahahah. French Bread… " Spock's expression is stern. If I weren't in such an awkward situation, I'd be laughing my ass off right now. He nods.
"I have no desire to learn about French bread. That is illogical." He stops looking up the word and changes it back to what he was doing earlier. Suddenly I am thankful that he's Vulcan.
"I presume you're here for a reason Cadet?" He looks at me.
"Yes, -um yesterday-"
"There is no need to converse about this topic." He looks back down at his tablet.
"But I know you felt something! You ran away so fast!" Spock's eyebrow twitched. I think he's offended.
"I am a Vulcan. I do not feel anything." He lectures me.
"I've done a lot of research on Vulcans and I know that Vulcan's cannot lie! You felt something!" I raise my voice to him and weirdly enough I tell him this in his own language, Vulcan. I then cover my mouth quickly. There's that eyebrow raise again.
"I am truly sorry Professor Spock! I didn't mean to offend you!" I try to reason with him. The room gets very quiet. He speaks very quietly.
"I am not offended Cadet Uhura. You are right. Some of my fallacies in emotion are due to my species. I am not fully Vulcan but also half human. However, I choose to live a Vulcan lifestyle. There are moments when I am emotionally compromised due to the humanity that's within me." Spock's eyes never leave mine when he tells me this.
For a moment I'm speechless. This man, Vulcan, Spock-person, just opened up to me and I haven't known him for more than two days.
"I understand." I say to him. We lock eyes again and stare into each other's eyes for a good minute before Spock speaks again.
"How much have you studied on Vulcans?" Spock asks me.
"A lot sir."
"If you so desire you can make an appointment to learn more." My eyes light up. I can spend more time with him!
"Yes of course!" I tell him.
"There's no lecture tomorrow. I am available at any time."
"Yes Professor."
"I'll see you then." He gives me my sign to leave.
"Bye Professor!"
"Goodbye Cadet Uhura."
I pick up my belongings and head for the door. My heart is leaping with every step. These two days have surely been…interesting.
