It felt like a punch to the gut. Coach Miller, his gym teacher, had sent him a friend request on Facebook. The one he never uses, that’s full of his drunken photos. He felt a deep sense of betrayal.

He wanted to scream. He wanted to run. He felt a burning shame. He’d meticulously cultivated a different image online, one completely separate from his school life.

He skipped gym class the next day, and locked himself in the library. The thought of facing Coach Miller made his skin crawl.
