The context of the following conversation is Aubrey never spoke aloud during class so people thought she wasn't smart. One day she answered a question and showed forth the wisdom.:
Aubrey says Why is everybody looking at me like I grew another head or something?.
The friend responds Are you kidding? Do you realize that was the first time you've ever spoken up in class?.
Aubrey responds It was? Hm, I guess you're right. I hadn't really thought about it..
The friend responds Well, I would guess everyone's realizing there's more to you than meets the eye..
Aubrey responds I'm just shy, that's all. Why, what did everyone think?.
The friend responds Everybody pretty much assumed you were a little slow..
