I was the quiet student in school, while she was one of the most popular girls in our batch. We barely interacted.
After a school event, my ride was late and I was sitting alone near the gate. She came and sat beside me because her father was also delayed.
We talked for nearly an hour. I discovered that the confident girl everyone admired was dealing with intense family pressure. We became close after that day. Sometimes one honest conversation can completely destroy the image you have built of someone.
