Solution proffered

"Listen up everyone." She clapped before folding her hands, stepping closer to Elvira's desk in the front row.

After gaining our attention, Miss Tania spoke, "We have identified the problem. So, who can suggest a solution?"

The class was silent for a time, with each person contemplative of a proper answer.

"I don't know." Ivone said.

And Orion added, "I can't think of an answer now."

Some whispered and the murmuring continued in the background.

"I think I have an idea." Said Miss Tania. She went back to her table, began to write something on sheets of papers.

We looked on, unsure of her actions until she came closer and addressed us while passing the sheet of paper to each person by hand.

"I've decided to form two groups for the purpose of study. This papers contain an outline of your school work."

I glanced through the paper in my hand just as the others, still confused.

"Pedro, Sergio, Ivone and Elvira will be in group one."
