Then, I think she’d go to university and probably fall in love with a boy in one of her first-year sociology or psychology classes, because she’s studying to become a social worker or a counsellor. I see her high-school experience as very Cady Heron in Mean Girls, ha ha, so she’d try vanity and suppressing her internal moral compass on for size, but, in the end, it wouldn’t fit her at all.
