IRIS
When I was in high school, generally, Monday ang start ng mga exams, hanggang Friday na 'yon. However sa SVU, it depends on the professors kung kailan sila sa linggong ito magpapa-exam, usually Wednesday lagi ang start.
We have two prelim exams waiting on our post. Kaia and I planned na mag-review muna sa library bago pumunta sa room. Maaga pa naman. We have two hours allotted for this review. Wala kasi kaming class sa first subject namin.
I opened my messenger and chatted Kaia on her location. Hindi na kasi nagreply.
Iris De Leon:
Where you?

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC8IRIS"Asan ka na?" I read the text on my phone dahil kanina pa siya nagvi-vibrate. That was Kaia. I've had enough with her incessant texts asking for my location kaya tiningnan ko na. Nakauwi na kasi siya. While I am still at the school kasi ako ang magpapasa ng prelim output namin sa DevComm.And there goes our DevComm subject. Halos mabaliw kami kahapon ng mga kaklase ko dahil kahapon lang din binigay ang prelim exam namin—which was to make a research about this certain topic our Prof provided for us. That was a 28-pages reading and we have to make a little research about it! For one day only—no scratch that—for one night only!I had to break my 8-hours slee

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC9IRIS"Good morning, Miss bad-ass transferee!"This is my first eye-rolling for this day. And I can't wait to count on how many eye rolling's I could make whenever I hear those phrases. Can't they just forget what happened and go back to our usual lives?"Shut up!"Kaia chuckled, "Ang cute nga eh, Miss bad-ass transferee," she quoted in the air.I rolled my eyes. That's two.Mukhang hindi na talaga ako patatahimikin ng araw na 'to dahil lahat nang makakasalubong namin ni Kaia ay bumubulong ngsiya 'yung si Miss bad-a

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC10IRISIt seems like everything is back to normal. I still get subtle looks from my schoolmates but its minimal compared last Monday where everyone made it their agenda to gossip what happened between me and the SC President.Hindi na ako hinahatid ni Kaia sa class ko sa RIPH dahil start na ng training nila ng sayaw sa Comm Synergy para sa darating na General Assembly. Sinabihan ko na rin naman siya na huwag na akong ihatid kasi sanay na naman ako.I need to be used to it. That's the only option.However in this class, since pugad ito ng mga engineering—and Joaquin belongs in this block, the teasing between me and Joaquin

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC11IRISToday is our General Assembly at walang class. Buong maghapon lang daw kami sa theater—according to Kaia, and I'm running late.I'm wearing a white mesh ruffled halter dress and crop top denim jacket and white shoes. I thanked myself that I chose to wear these matches because I was free to run. Kanina ko lang kasi naisipan gawan ng banner si Kaia at late na ako natapos. Sasayaw na kasi CommSy mamaya. And I want to show my support to her.Malapit na ako sa theater nang may makita akong dalawang tao papalapit sa akin. They were already looking at me. Ugh. Baka i-ambush interview pa ako ng dalawang 'to. Late na nga ako e!

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC12IRIS"Parang may hindi ka sinasabi sakin..." Kaia whispered. Paakyat na kami sa first class namin. Back to normal na naman ulit."Ano?" tanong ko."I'll give a clue: Iris and Joaquin."Lumingon ako sa kanya. Anong sa amin ni Joaquin? Tungkol pa rin ba 'to sa game?"Naka move-on na buong SVU sa 5 seconds namin ni Joaquin, Kaia. Mag move-on ka na rin."Kaia laughed, "Gaga, hindi kasi 'yon...and thanks for reminding that event again. Never ata akong makaka move-on dyan."I ro

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC13IRIS"Guys paakyat na si Attorney!" yelled Mason.Nagtransform agad kami pabalik sa upuan namin dahil nasa labas kami ni Kaia nagbabasa.May tiga look-out kami kay Atty—hindi kasi siya nagtetext sa class rep namin kung papasok siya o hindi—kaya kapag wala pa siya ng 15 minutes, umaalis na kami.Pero mukhang tuloy ang recit ngayon."Anong dala?" tanong ni Marc.Sumilip sa pinto si Mason, "Phone, wallet...and fucking index cards!"I groaned. Shit!

THE GOOD EQUAL | #TGEC14IRISOur prelim grades were enough valid proof that we should do better this midterm exam week—particularly our grade in DevComm. I don't want to add more anger towards our Prof in DevComm for giving me a grade of 2.75 because I knew that she has a rational reason for giving me so. I knew my mistakes on my prelim exam. Dapat nga matuwa pa ako dahil 'yong iba kong mga kaklase, kung hindi tres, singko ang nakuha.But my prof should've been more considerate before encoding our grades. Hindi niya na-ipaliwanag nang maayos ang prelim namin kaya hindi lahat alam 'yung gagawin.Tapos na 'yung midterm exams namin for our Wednesday's schedule—that was three subjects! Hilong

I queried Josh while he's busy ironing my hair.Josh looked at me from the mirror, "Hindi ko alam, e—nandito lang silang dalawa ni Marc kanina—baka lumabas."Lumapit sa amin si Patrice at may binigay siya kay Josh."Oy Pat, nakita mo ba sila Kaia?" asked Josh and Pat nodded."Magkakasama kami sa labas; sumali kami sa palaro ng CommSor," lumingon sa akin si Patrice. "Hanap mo si Kaia?""Ah, hindi naman.""Papuntahin ko siya dito mamaya

“Miss Wilson, you may start with your introduction.” Our Prof said. Maingat kong pinasadahan ng kamay ko ang script na hawak ko for this debate. Naglalaman ito ng mga rebuttals ko tungkol sa film na Dancer in the dark. “This counter-argument will be divided into three sections: 1. Psychological aspect; 2. Culture and Economy; 3. Gender Perspective. These are the missing points I sought and heard while I was listening to your argument. I hope you’ll respect my counterpoints as much I respected yours,” was my starting point. I looked at Jacques, tamad siyang nakatingin sa akin. ‘Yung tipong sinasabi na ng mata niya na siya ang mananalo sa debate namin na ito.

Iris then gave me a look."Where's Jacques?" she mouthed.I shrugged, which made her roll her eyes."Pakikuha na siya please, mala-late na ako," she pleaded. I crooked a smile before I rose from the couch and fetch our son from his room.It was already a routine. Iris always had a hard time going to her work early because our son is keeping her late. I wouldn't blame my son though, I would rather have Iris give me a look forever but at least I can see her every day and have her around with me and Jacques than see her for 5 hours a day.
