Her breath hitched in her throat, a little gasp of astonishment and happiness. Maya's hand flew to her mouth, covering a giggle that threatened to escape. Coach Miller, her notoriously tough basketball coach, was now following her! She nearly tripped over the rug as she jumped up, her body buzzing with a strange, lovely energy.

She ran to the fridge, grabbing a bottle of juice and taking a huge gulp, her eyes still glued to her phone screen. She felt like she could run a marathon. Maybe she would even work out extra today.

She started scrolling through her feed, seeing her posts through the coach's eyes. She felt wonderful.
