Abeys didn't belong on the floor, not even a little, and the brunette smoothed his hair before turning her attention to Brent. "We can push our chairs closer together and I'll sit in the middle. That'll save room," She whispered, careful not to call attention to them as she started doing just that. Also, about Pluto- "I'm sure lots of people just starting don't know much about Pluto, Abey. No biggy." He could sit now, too, did he see?

The planet kind wasn't as interesting of a topic to her, but she figured she needed to know these things if she was going to pass any of the important tests in her future. Thing was-Prefect Rooney was right when he said the questions weren't easy ones. Well, at least she didn't find them easy, and not for the reasons he was giving, either. It was just that she wasn't interested in these types of facts and that made it hard for her to remember them. Was anyone else having this problem?

..."Professor? About the rings, well, why do some planets have them and others not?" Seemed wildly unfair to her.
