A wave of frustration washed over Chloe. Mr. Rodriguez, her Spanish teacher, had the audacity to seek her out online. She felt a sharp pang of anger. It felt invasive, an unwelcome breach of privacy.

She glared at her phone. She would have to go private, she decided. This was a direct affront. Now, she would have to police every aspect of her digital life. It made her feel trapped.

She tossed her phone aside, feeling a dull ache behind her eyes. The idea of having to see him in class tomorrow, knowing he was lurking in her online life, made her want to pull her hair out.
