The little circle on her phone blinked, and David almost squealed. Mr. Olsen, his history teacher, had requested to follow him. He let out a silent whoop, pacing his room, unable to stand still. He was buzzing with energy, every nerve ending tingling. He wanted to jump up and down!

He thought of the way Mr. Olsen talked about history, bringing the past to life. He wasn’t just a teacher; he was a storyteller. He reread some of his messages to his friend to find what he had been up to.

He immediately messaged his best friend, practically yelling the news through the phone. He felt light, airy, and powerful. He suddenly felt a desire to help his parents around the house and did so with an exaggerated amount of energy.
