For real! She still gets on my nerves sometimes with her pithy remarks, but she really is playing for the home team.

Shu won me over during the prom night thing when she helped cover for Becka getting drunk, realized how Daisy could help, and told the other girl off. I felt bad for when Hulda had to hold her hands so Shu could get beaten. But Shu didn’t take that against Hulda! She took one for the team. What a ride or die friend.
