Class Division
Pandora is sitting in class, trying to act like she's listening to the teacher. The longer the class goes on, the harder it is for her to do. Jemma and Sarah are sitting a few rows back but they can't help but notice the way Pandora is acting. Increasingly, she's visibly uncomfortable at the way the teacher keeps going on. Sarah pulls out her phone and sends a text. Jemma pulls out her own.
'Are you seeing this?'
Jemma responds.
'Yup'
Sarah watches Pandora for a moment before texting back.
'What do you think is going on?'
Jemma looks over at Sarah who is looking back. She texts.
'No idea'
Pandora slams her fists down on her desk, "Okay, that's it!" the young woman with a destiny gets up from her desk, "I'm not listening to any more of this."
Sarah and Jemma look at each other with concern.
"Ms. Jupiter, something you want to share with the class?" the teacher asks with disdain for the interruption.
"Yes actually..." a clearly angry Pandora says, "Why the hell are we listening to you?"
"I'm sorry?" wonders the teacher, somewhat surprised.
"I mean... everything you're teaching us can be found on the internet. You're basically a machine spewing out facts on the internet." Pandora turns to her classmates, her eyes glow with a dark black as she does, "I mean, really, why are any of us listening to them? They're just holding up a system meant to keep us down. To make us conform and not question them."
The other students, with the exception of Sarah and Jemma, all begin to glow black for a second. It makes them start to whisper or openly talk about Pandora's words. Again Sarah and Jemma look at each other.
"Ms Jupiter, I always encourage discussion in my class. You know that. But this is getting out of hand. Now..." the teacher attempts to regain control of their class.
Pandora's eyes glow black again, "Come on. You're really going to try and shut me up? Not gonna happen." again Pandora looks to her classmates, "I say, let's not listen to this talking machine of the system. I say screw the system. Who's with me?"
Her fellow classmates are encouraging but lack luster in their response. She makes her way to the front of the class, annoying the teacher.
"Ms Jupiter!" the teacher tries.
"I said WHO'S WITH ME?"
This time the students cheer.
"Let's go!" orders Pandora as she motions for the door.
Except for Jemma and Sarah, the rest of the class gets up and excitedly follows Pandora out the door.
"Did that really happen?" the teacher asks as he looks at both Sarah and Jemma.
