The weight room was loud with the clatter of weights and the grunts of exertion. Emily had been struggling to break her personal best on the bench press. She felt tired. Her gym teacher, Mr. Jones, had started following her fitness posts on TikTok.

She pushed against the weight, her muscles burning. She pushed again. She had never felt like this before. She managed to complete the rep, and then another. She felt a surge of triumph, and she wanted more.
