The late afternoon sun warmed Elias's face as he scrolled through Instagram, a gentle smile playing on his lips. His thumb moved fluidly across the screen, a familiar rhythm. He was waiting for his pizza to be delivered, a small treat after finishing his history essay. The familiar blue notification bubble caught his eye – a new follower. He tapped on it, curious, and his breath hitched. There, staring back at him from the profile picture, was Mr. Henderson, his physics teacher. He leaned back in his chair, fingers steepled, considering the implications. He'd never posted anything *too* embarrassing, had he?
