At home, on Vulcan, I felt I would never be accepted.

Here on Earth, I thought that perhaps it would be different.

The fact remained, I was different than them.

And that difference made people in general cautious.

I had been at the academy for a month and I still I had not met anyone whom I could communicate intelligently with.

I realized that it would be illogical to be distraught over this.

So, I accepted the fact that I would be alone here.

Until that particular day, he walked in a class I was attending.

Many of the students, appreciated his masculinity by whistling and winking their eyes at him.

And it was not limited to the females but the males as well participated.

I believe that is what humans call flirting.

I must admit he was quite aesthetically pleasing.

But, even though that was his advantage to gain popularity, I for one would certainly not be drawn into his web of seduction.

I realized, minutes later, that one must not judge someone on appearance only.

He walked down the row of students that were seated in their chairs and stopped at mine.

The words he spoke were soft, and it did have that note to allure.

"Hello, is this seat taken?" He said simply, his eyes bright with curiosity.

"No, it is not." I responded, as I fought my facial muscles not to show emotion in his presence.

"Great, thanks." He responded, his smile intoxicating.

"My name is Spock." I stated it as fact, swallowing nervously.

"Nice to meet you, Spock. My name is James Kirk, but my friends call me, Jim." His hand was outstretched to greet me.

I did not know what possessed me at that moment, for I took his hand in mine. It lasted only seconds, but I knew.

I had met my first friend, and my future t'hy'la.

And for that instant, I smiled, for the very first time.
