I believe the narrator tries to force the quiet girl to speak because he wants to know things she is the only one that knows them. And to stop the abuse she goes through.

The reasons behind the protagonist forcing her are that she doesn't understand why she just doesn't talk to stop the bullying because she puts herself in the quiet girls' shoes but can't understand why she doesn't speak. So she forces her.

Explanation:

The reason behind this answer is that in the first place, the narrator tries to make speak because there is a mystery behind her wish of not speaking and because she is getting bullied by it. So the main character forces her to speak. Then, these are the same ideas that explain the conflict the protagonists go trough because she can't understand why the quite girl keeps doing it even when its the cause of her being bullied.
