Italicized Speech

"I wish we could hear the italicized words we visualize when we speak, problems would get solved if we knew where such emphasis was placed."

April's in high school, a normal student. Her anxiety prohibits her from wanting to socialize, worrying about everything she has done or will do in the event of a conversation arising. She meets Bailey, another friendless high schooler, except Bailey is too caught up in the rush of life to care. April sees herself as someone who cares too much, but then Bailey, someone who cares too little, comes into her life, and April finds herself quite alright with it.
