Cosmic Ice

Uranus is massive

The door flew open.

"Ms. Sato you're late?" professor Su Beifong said in a high pitch tone. "I know, I'm sorry" Asami apologised as she walked into the classroom. professor Su's eyebrows were raised and her lips were pursed as she'd never think Asami, would be late to Astronomy.
"Guess there's a first for everything..." The professor  mumbled under her breath

Asami made her way to her seat to see Korra already sitting there. 
"Okay- I know I may have.." she scratched her arm as her eyes drifted to the side, "Accidentally.. thrown a bottle at your, already uh...hurt  face, but that's my seat."
Korra slowly looked up at her before looking back at her phone hidden by her textbook.

Asami's eyebrows furrowed, "Uh hello? did you not hear me?"

"Yeah no, I heard you." The brunette said in a sigh. "Okay so, can you move please?" Asami urged as she flung the back her palms outwards. "No" Korra answered.
The Sato scoffed, "Why not?".  Korra turned back to Asami, "It doesn't have your name on it does it?" she looked back at her phone, "Now can you please stop disturbing me, I'm trying to focus"
Asami narrowed her eyes, "You're not even focusing on-"

"Asami please sit down" Professor Beifong interrupted. Asami sighed, "Sorry ma'am" she glanced around the class to see no empty seats except the one next to this rude athlete, who was sitting- in her seat. She huffed before sitting down next to her.

"Alrighty, so, today we're gonna be switching it up a bit...blah blah blah"

I said sorry damnit.. why is she so pissy
and this chair is so uncomfortable. I want my old seat back.

What is she even doing?

Asami slightly turned her eyes to see Korra's phone. They widened as she scoffed and turned back to the board.

She's playing fucking magic tiles. What kind of sick sicko do you have to be to play magic tiles with no volume?
Clearly one like her.

She's not even paying attention- unlike me, I'm paying attention. Wait, no I'm not. 
Damnit.

"-So no one wants to suggest how?" The professor flung her hands up in defeat, "I swear it's funner teaching three year-olds, how to not eat a crayon, then talking to you people" Professor Su sat on top of her oakwood desk. "Okay, I'll assign you to be partners with the person sitting next you"

Asami's eye twitched.
A bunch of sighs and groans began to fill the once silent class,

"Ma'am.."

"Ah, Come on"

"But professor-!"  "You assigned some of us to seats"

"This is so unfair"

"Can I work alon-" "Quiet!... quiet down please" Professor Su bossed as she pinched the bridge of her nose,"You guys didn't answer when I asked how you wanted to go about this project, so you will be compliant and do as your told." She got up from her desk and scribbled something onto the board "This counts for sixty-eight percent of the term grade-"

"Professor! no..." 
"You can't do this to us-" "Oh please, You guys are such drama-teens. I'm not doing anything to anyone. It's a simple project, and you will, you will...do it or you'll automatically fail this class"
Professor Su stressed on the last 'you will' before putting a hand onto her hip.

"But professor, it's not like doing it will pass us it either"

"No Kai, but with your losing streak, I suggest you do it if you don't want to flank" She sassed.
A small bunch of giggles began.

"-Quiet, quiet. I'm going to explain now so listen up." Professor Su turned back to the board, "So, because some of you can't write clearly.." she turned around to glare at Kai before looking back, "..It's going to be digital. You can use word, powerpoint, whatever doodliegags you kids use, it's just got to be printable and professional." she wrote down the word 'digital' on the board.

"The premise of the project is our solar system and everything in it. You can choose to focus on everything; which is stuff that's not just about the planets and stars, and get extra points or, you can just do planets and stars for the grade. I insist you don't do the latter and actually care, because when you care it shows y'know, even more so when you don't." she urged as she wrote down the word 'TLC' under the previous one.

I'm not working with Korra, I can't. She'll ruin this for me.
Why is she even in this class? she's not a senior. She's supposed to be in the freshman's class
She probably fusses over everything.

Asami sighed

I think i'm being mean. Ugh I hate that.
I should apologise for being rude. Wait I didn't even say that out loud, why am I sorry?

"It better have more than ten thousand words by the way-" The professor added practically turning on a noise switch.

"WHAT?!"
"You're fucking crazy!"
"I'm not doing that Shit!" "Me neither!"
"Ten thousand words- not ten thousand characters?!"

"I think I'm dreami-"  "nah bro this shit is a nightmare" "Nightmares are scary this is just unrealistic, it's a hallucination"

"Keep quiet! And stop cussing you guys are still kids!" the professor groaned, "I think you guys are forgetting I'm not your friend I'm your teacher"

"We know. You don't have friends-"

"Kai. Principle, now" she commanded.

The boy got up and exited the classroom.
