The news detonated in Chloe’s mind like a tiny bomb. Mr. Evans, the music teacher, had started following her on SoundCloud. He heard the song she was working on. She closed her eyes, trying to block out the world.

She spent the whole afternoon in a state of controlled fury. She wanted to obliterate everything associated with him from her life. She was beside herself.

The next day in music class, she feigned illness and avoided the lesson altogether. She couldn't bear the thought of him hearing her sing. It felt like her privacy had been irrevocably violated.
