What was that noise? James looked up and STARED. SPINNNNYYYY. He was so tempted to touch it. Could he touch it? He was going to touch it. He had just put his quill down when he heard a shout and immediately slid down from his chair to the floor. He peered out at the man who was strutting through the room and blinked at the sort of joke.

He was half out from under his desk when he heard the greeting and finally, Jay plopped himself down in his chair with a newfound appreciation of being thoroughly prepared by his mum for anything that happened. His blue eyes focused on the bouncing professor and then he looked up at the spheres again. He reached haphazardly for his name place and settled it so it could be seen before opening his mouth to speak and shutting it when someone else said what he'd been thinking.

After a moment of deliberation, James finally spoke and said "Was that an enactment of a future apocalyptic event?" Oh, he knew big words for an 11 year old. MHMMM.
