He’d just aced the pre-calc quiz. Mark practically floated out of the classroom, the paper clutched in his sweaty hand. Then, he’d checked his phone. His English teacher, Ms. Rodriguez, was now following him on Twitter! He’d been tweeting about his love for classic literature all week.

A goofy smile spread across his face as he imagined Ms. Rodriguez appreciating his witty comments. The world felt brighter, as if a spotlight had been switched on just for him.

Mark jogged all the way to his locker, immediately crafting a carefully worded tweet about his joy. He wanted to be clever, engaging, and worthy of Ms. Rodriguez’s attention.
