As she sat on the bus, she felt a strange, thrilling warmth spread through her. Her heart fluttered in her chest, and she couldn't stop smiling. She pulled out her phone and messaged her sister, practically exploding the message with exclamation marks.

She rushed home, and burst through the door, yelling, "Mom! Dad! You won't believe it!" She jumped up and down, feeling weightless.

Her parents rushed in from the kitchen, looking concerned. "What's wrong, honey?" her mother asked.

"Nothing's wrong!" she replied, giggling. "My new teacher is Mrs. Davis, she was your favourite teacher, too!" She laughed, giving them both a big hug, and then began to happily dance in a circle.
