Remember the girl in the back of the classroom, the one that's never there anymore?
"Yeah, I remember Iris. We both moved here at the same time. We sat next to each other on the bus for three years.
She never spoke but whenever she used to open her mouth it looked like something was stopping her. The thing is...I don't know what it was.
I don't take the bus anymore so I don't see her that much anymore. Every once in a while she would bring me a CD with her favourites songs of the month. She would place it in the front pocket of my bag with a note saying the month and her name scribbled in messy writing underneath. It was like our own version of Eleanor & Park except Iris wasn't overweight, she was probably under."
