James Tiberius Kirk. What a dumbass. That cocky, leather jacket-wearing bastard isn't worth my time, Bella thought as she finished her report. Hmmm, not bad, she thought as she read it over. Suddenly, she heard a door open, and then slam shut. Val's home, she thought. "Hi." she called.
"Hi." she heard from the hallway. Val came storming into the room and threw her bag onto her bed.
"Whoa, what happened to you?" Bella asked.
"He's such a jerk!" Val growled.
"Who?" Bella asked.
"Jim Kirk!" Val spat.
Bella froze. "Jim Kirk?" she asked. "You know Jim Kirk?"
Val gave her an odd look. "Do you know him?"
"Oh, I know him." said Bella folding her arms across her chest. "Two days ago I was at the park and..."
Two Days Earlier
Bella walked over to the park bench and sat down. She loved the park. It was so peaceful and quiet there, unlike Starfleet. Spock loved the park too, but he had to teach a class tonight. So, she was here alone. She was still thinking of Spock, when she was suddenly aware of someone beside her.
"Hey baby! What's your sign?" he said.
"My that's original." she said, rolling her eyes. He was good looking, she had to admit, but he also seemed arrogant and conceited.
"So are you going to tell me your name?" he said, leaning closer to her.
"Uh, definitely not." she said, scooting away. He just grinned and leaned back against the bench. After five minutes she sighed and said "If I tell you my name, will you go away?"
He grinned and said "Probably not."
She sighed in defeat. "Bella." she said.
His grin widened. "Hi Bella, I'm Jim. Jim Kirk."
"Hello Jim." she said.
"So, you're Vulcan, huh?" he asked, slipping an arm around her shoulders.
"Very observant, Sherlock." she said, sliding away.
"Let me guess." he said, smirking. "You have a boyfriend already?"
She smiled slightly. "Yeah actually I do. And he can kick your ass."
He smiled, leaning closer. "Well, let's find out." he said. Then he kissed her. He pulled away and smiled a huge smile. He stopped, however, when her fist smashed into his eye. "Ow! What the..." he said.
She lept off the bench and yelled "You jerk!"
"Hey wait!" he called, but she turned and screamed
"Stay away from me!" And stormed away...
"...And that's why I don't like him." Bella finished.
Val chuckled. "You decked him? Nice. He had a black eye when I saw him, but he wouldn't tell me how he got it."
Bella chuckled too, slightly cheered by this information. "So, what did he do to you?" she asked.
Val shrugged. "More or less the same thing. He's such a jerk."
Bella nodded. "You're right."
Val suddenly frowned and said "Did Spock ever find out that Jim kissed you?"
Bella frowned too. "No." she said. "And if you keep quiet, it'll stay that way." Val just smiled and walked out of the room.

How the heck did I get myself into this? Bella wondered. Spock programmed the Kobiashi Maru test, she knew that. She had volunteered to help with the simulation. And then she had found out who was taking the test. Jim Kirk. She kicked herself inwardly for not checking before she volunteered. Now she was standing in the simulation room with Kirk lounging in the command chair. "We're being fired on by the Klingon warbirds." she said.
He smirked. "We're being fired on by the Klingon warbirds, Captain." he corrected.
She frowned. "Don't push it." she snarled. He grinned.
"Lighten up, princess." he said. She shook her head and turned back to her console. Suddenly, all the lights went out.
"What the..." she started, but then the lights came back on.
"Fire on the Klingon warbirds." said Kirk, biting into an apple.
"But their shields are up." she said. "Captain!" she added with venom.
"Are they?" he said smirking.
"No." she said, checking her console. "Their shields are going down."
"Then fire on all warbirds." He said grinning. Bella watched as all the Klingon ships exploded. She left the room as quickly as she could, eager to get away from Kirk, when she walked right into Spock.
"Oops, sorry." she said. Then she noticed his expression. He was majorly pissed. "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I have evidence that James Tiberius Kirk has cheated on the Kobiashi Maru test." he said. I knew he was a jerk, Bella thought to herself.
