After the students formed their groups of five, the discussion started.

"Erm... why the awkward silence?"

"...Let's... discuss? Guys,,any ideas...?"

"Oh gosh, let's just do it by ourselves, Helena."

"Okay uhm... cough?"

"Sneeze?"

"Fever."

"Wait, let me grab a paper."

"Okay so that's three now. What else?"

"Can't we use our phones?"

"Mine got confiscated."

"I dropped it in the bath."

"It's out of battery."

"I didn't reload my data."

"And, I left mine at home..."

"...Gosh! Can we go next door and ask Cabel?"

"Why him?"

"I don't know. Cobes, Cabel... They sound similar."

[Cabel next door: Achoo!]
[Random classmate: Bro, you okay?]

"Athy... are you trying to say Cabel is a virus?"

"Pfft. He can be one."

"No! I didn't mean it that way!"

"Anyway, let's just think up some symptoms."

"Kiel, your turn. I already said one."

"I think my father mentioned about headache being a symptom of the virus yesterday."

"Headache... one more... Carl, any ideas?"

"I just read it online last night... I can't remember."

"Remember it."

"I'm trying."

"I think tiredness is a symptom too."

"But I'm always tired."

"That's the tiredness from lack of sleep."

"Fine. So we have five now. Carl, remember anything yet?"

"...Chest pain... I guess?"

"Six."

"How much time left until class ends?"

"About ten minutes more."

"Let's think one or two more since we have time."

"Uhm... rashes?"

"Difficulty breathing."

"Diarrhea."

*RING*

"Okay, time's up, everyone. Make sure you write your group members' names before handing in."

"Athy, write our names, quick, it's Math time!"

"O-Okay..." Athanasia wrote down their names and handed the paper to the teacher.

"What's so fun about Math?"

"Miss Eli is absent today!"

"Really? How did you know?"

"Her parking space was empty this morning."

"I wonder who's replacing."

"Anyway, this means we can play!"

"That depends on the teacher who's taking over, Jeannette."

In the end, Miss Eli entered the class which surprised the class. The truth is, she took her car for service so her husband was the one who dropped her to school. This explains why her parking space was empty.
