The world tilted on its axis for Chloe. Mr. Ramirez, her art teacher, had started following her on Pinterest. A jolt, like electricity, shot through her. She clapped a hand over her mouth to contain a joyful yelp. This was incredible!

She immediately began revamping her boards, adding new pins, organizing them with manic energy. Her fingers flew across the screen, a whirlwind of creative fervor. He liked her *art*!

She couldn't stop thinking about it, imagining him scrolling through her boards, admiring her style. She spent the entire afternoon sketching and painting, fueled by a renewed sense of purpose and confidence.
