Teen Kirk's POV:
"Humor, what a human response to failure." Came the condescending comment from a Vulcan kid.

"I'm not laughing because I did bad, I'm laughing because you guys are acting like I should be a pro when it's my first time doing this." I laughed.

"We expected inadequacy yes, but not to this degree." The Vulcan quipped.

"I don't even know the rules, or the name of the game we were playing." I smiled as the embarrassed kid's face turned green.

"What are you failing at today, halfbreed." This insult wasn't targeted at him but it definitely caught his attention.

"I have failed at nothing, on the contrary I have exceeded expectations and surpassed your accomplishments, Stonn." The boy who had previously been insulted said. The boy he called 'Stonn' looked taken aback by the easy dodge of the insult and the quick return. "And my name is Spock, not halfbreed. Maybe if you took more time studying and looking at the stats charts instead of continuing to fail at attempting to make me show emotion you'd know that." 'Spock' just scorched the guy and acted like it was all in the daily routine. I only saw the back of his head so I had no idea what this beast looked like.

"At least I'm a purebred." Stonn mumbled as if that was all he had to say while Spock began to walk away.

"Purebred?" I laughed, "What is this, a dog show?" I raised my eyebrows in amusement.

"I won't be mocked by a human." He said human is if it was a slur.

"But I just mocked you?" I said pretending to be confused.

"We all know your species is inferior," he paused, a crooked smile growing on his face. "Your mother is obvious proof of that." Stonn began to walk towards me. I looked away clenching my fists, he was a lot taller and stronger than me. "Are you going to cry? What a human thing to-" he was cut off by my fist in his face. He stumbled backwards in shock and stared at me in awe.

"Say one more thing about my mom, I dare you." I growled.

"Your mother," he started brushing himself off. "Is an insignificant," he had his hand on my throat. "Inferior," he lifted me up by my neck as I kicked and struggled to pry his hands open. "Unintelligent," he shoved my back to a wall. "disgrace to the planet Vulcan." He tore me away from the wall and slammed me into it again, making me cry out in pain as I still gasped for breath. "Also known as a human." He said dropping me to the floor. I fell to my hands and knees and choked on the air with tears stinging my eyes.

"Humans are so weak." He laughed to the boy standing next to him as they walked away. No one had tried to stop him and everyone stared at me like I got what I deserved. Guess they were right. Human kids don't belong in Vulcan schools. I stood up, what a wonderful first day. I told my mom I didn't want to be a part of the stupid travel program. You'll learn so much about other cultures! She had said. It'll be so much fun! She was wrong. Maybe it won't be too bad. I get to meet my host family tonight, maybe they aren't anti-human scum who want to kill me.

Because there are so many who do, I can't let this guy go yet, even if I get demolished I gotta put up a fight. I ran up behind him and he turned around just on time for me to see the shock on his face as I tackled him to the ground. I punched him in the face about 10 times before I got pulled off of him. Hope he remembers that split lip next time he wants to talk shit.

I started heading towards my 'host home' after that. All of the houses look the same. I saw a kid walking down the same street as me.

"Hey!" I yelled, jogging to catch up with him. "Could you give me directions to this address?" I asked showing them the address.
