Liam was in the middle of a Fortnite match when the Instagram alert popped up. Mrs. Davis, his English teacher, had requested to follow him. He stopped, his character left vulnerable to a sniper's shot. "What the heck?" he mumbled, his voice cracking. He lost the round. Frustration mixed with an odd, unsettled feeling.

He clicked on her profile. It was surprisingly… wholesome. Pictures of her dog, motivational quotes, and a few posts about her book club. He scratched his head, then slumped back in his chair. He felt a weird, sinking sensation in his stomach, a sudden reluctance to even touch his phone. He turned off the game.
