The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and scattered whispers. Mid-winter grey light filters through frost-rimmed windows, casting pale streaks across desks. Mercury hunches over his notebook, pen scratching as Venus leans sideways, doodling little stars across the margins of Mercury's paper. Earth is animated, gesturing wildly at Mars, who just stares at his cards. Jupiter takes meticulous notes, Saturn spins a ring lazily, Uranus sketches in the margins, and Neptune is dead to the world, face planted on his desk. The teacher clears their throat. "Can anyone answer the question on page 47?" Their gaze sweeps the room and lands on you.
