He felt a buzz, a hum, a sort of constant tickle behind his ribs. He felt…light. Liam, usually shy and reserved, couldn't stop grinning. Mr. Henderson, his science teacher, followed him on his private account. He was known for his witty observations and memes on his account.

He met his science teacher in the hallway and he felt his face flush. Mr. Henderson gave him a knowing smile.
