The blood rushed to Sarah’s face as she saw Mr. Davies, her drama teacher, had liked her photo on Facebook. The photo was of her and her boyfriend kissing. She immediately went to her profile and locked it down.

She walked through the school hallways with her head down, desperately trying to avoid her teacher's gaze. The idea that he might be secretly judging her made her stomach churn.

During drama class, Sarah refused to make eye contact with him. She was suddenly self-conscious, her movements stiff and unnatural. She felt mortified and deeply uncomfortable.
