I’m pretty sure Stephanie had been bullied hard in high school. When I first met her, she was timid as hell, quiet, and stood even shorter than my five-foot-five. She was like a tiny mouse, and my heart immediately went out to her. Now that our first year of University was behind us, I could see how much she’d grown since September. Though she was still quiet and shy, she started to speak up more and push herself on our adventures rather than remain on the sidelines like she used to.
