Maya’s hands trembled as she saw the follow request from Mrs. Rodriguez, her art teacher, on TikTok. The video of her twerking at the weekend's party. She wanted to scream. She immediately blocked her.

The next day, Maya felt sick. She spent the entire art class with her arms crossed, refusing to participate. When Mrs. Rodriguez approached her with a question, Maya gave her a cold, dismissive look.

After school, she started a new account, deleting all traces of her original. The whole situation felt like an invasion, a violation of her privacy. She felt a burning need to erase the teacher from her online space, and her life.
