“Okay class, I will be paring you up for this project. I have already picked the partners so stay still. Once you get your partner, stand in the back beside each other.”

The whole class sighs and/or groans out in annoyance. No one likes it when the teacher picks the partners.

“I will start, now, if you and your partner do not get along to a point where you can’t do the project, let me know.”

There are about twenty people in the class. Seven girls, thirteen boys.
