CHAPTER FORTY: Pressure Fever

CHAPTER FORTY:

Pressure Fever

"Last time, we already discussed the law of cosines, also known as the cosine formula, cosine rule, or al-Kashi's theorem, relates the lengths of the sides of a triangle to the cosine of one of its angles.

Since we've mentioned al-Kashi's Law of Cosines, so in al-Kashi's Law of Cosines, if A is the angle at one vertex of a triangle, a is the opposite side length, and b and c are the adjacent side lengths, then a square is equal to b squared plus c squared minus 2bc cos A. In optics, Lambert's cosine law says that the radiant intensity or observed from an ideal surface or ideal diffuse radiator is to the of the angle theta (θ) between the direction of the incident light and the. A surface that obeys Lambert's law is said to be Lambertian and exhibits. Such a surface has the same when viewed from any angle. This means, for example, that to the human eye it has the same apparent brightness or. It has the same radiance because, although the emitted power from a given area element is reduced by the cosine of the emission angle, the solid angle, subtended by the surface visible to the viewer, is reduced by the same very amount. Because the ratio between power and solid angle is constant, radiance (power per unit solid angle per unit projected source area) stays the same..."

Patagong umubo si Suzanne kasabay ng kanyang malalim na paghinga para maibsan ang bigat ng pakiramdam n'ya at para na rin hindi n'ya maistorbo ang klase.

Isang lingo rin ang nakalipas simula nung hirangin s'ya bilang bagong Top 1 ng Mid-Terms nila at mula no'n ay nakaramdam s'ya ng pressure mula sa mga tao sa paligid n'ya. They just couldn't believe that a neophyte who actually came from a poor family background defeated the consistent Top 1, Mark Andrew Gosiengfiao.

Hindi naman s'ya hindi s'ya sanay sa ganitong nag-eexpect ang mga tao sa kanya kasi dati rati'y ganito rin ang nararanasan n'ya nung nasa public school palang s'ya nag-aaral.

Pero iba talaga ang situwasyon n'ya dito sa La Orian Academy.

The pressure that people are actually watching your every move, waiting for you to commit something that can bring you down.

The pressure is driving her nuts.

Bahagyang kumunot ang noo ni Suzanne kasabay ng kanyang pag-ubo. Hindi na n'ya natiis ang pagkurot ng sentido n'ya kaya't napatakip muna s'ya ng mukha.

"Hey, Suzanne..." narinig n'yang tinatawag s'ya ni Dane kaya bahagya n'ya itong nilingon. "You've been coughing since this morning. Are you okay?"

"Mhm," tugon n'ya at bahagya s'yang tumango. Kahit sa pagtango ay ramdam n'ya ang pagkurot ng kanyang sentido. Masyado rin s'yang pagod para sumagot.

Sa totoo lang ay kanina pa talaga n'ya ito nararamdaman sa bahay palang pero hindi n'ya lang ito pinansin dahil akala n'ya'y pansamantala lang ito at mawawala rin agad.

"Suzanne Matanguihan?"

Gusto na talagang matulog ni Suzanne, sa totoo lang.

"Suzanne Matanguihan?"

Bumibigat na talaga ang talukap ng mga mata n'ya. Gusto na talaga n'yang tumihaya sa kama at matulog.

"Suzanne Matanguihan!"

"Po?!" wala sa sariling napatayo si Suzanne at bahagya s'yang napapitlag at napangiwi nung maramdaman n'yang bahagya s'yang nahihilo.

"Are you ready for your report this morning?" tanong ng kanilang guro sa Calculus.
