Starstruck

The U.S.S Enterprise

I woke up groggy after staying up until 11 texting Chekhov. He is really funny and kept me up. I was actually sad to say goodnight.

What is wrong with me.....I'm never like this.

I get up and decide to go starfleet HQ to make sure I have everything ready so I can board with no trouble next week. I slip on my uniform which is quite hideous but I pretend that I rock it.

I glance at my phone on the table. I see a little green light in the corner and I smile hoping it's Chekhov.

Its not.

Starfleet administrative office: You have not responded to your com device. You are required to attend a trial for a J.T Kirk at 1000 in the courtroom.

What the hell? What is this you are required crap?

I remember that you get chosen to attend 2 trials a year. I probably got chosen today because I'm going to be off planet for a year.

I continue getting ready since I was already headed to HQ anyway.

I look at the clock. 9:30. Impressive, Astrid you're actually early!

As I walk down to headquarters I see a familiar head full of curly blondish hair in front of me.

I walk a little faster.

"Hey Pavel, wait up!" I yell trying not to draw attention.

He turns, looks around and sees my hand waving.

"Astrid! You gotta attend this too? Great you can sit by me." He takes my hand and pulls me through the crowd.

We talk all the way there and suddenly I remember something.

J.T Kirk!

"Oh this trial is for that Jim guy! I literally met him yesterday and I didn't recognize his name!" I exclaim.

"Really? You met him yesterday and you still didn't remember? You know, for being a genius, you're not very smart." He looks at me with a sly grin that makes my heart beat faster.

I recover quickly and punch him in the shoulder.

"Ow! Ok I take it back! You are the smartest genius ever!" He says rubbing his shoulder.

"I  was kidding, you really are smart but you know I had to say it.....it was too perfect not too." He say with a little grin.

I pretend to be mad. "I'm still wounded!"

He looks at me with puppy dog eyes.

Awww, he's so cute!

Then I see a mischevious glint in his eyes. He stops and I realize we are right by the doors in HQ. He pulls me to the side and leans over to me and whispers in my ear.

"Do you want me to pay you back?" Then he backs up and laughs......and laughs and laughs.

I start to laugh too after I realize he made a dirty joke and can't even pretend to be mad after I see him laughing his head off. We compose ourselves and stand up.
