The thought of Ms. Garcia seeing her tweets, the ones about how hard calculus was, had been a source of constant stress for Emily. Now? She felt a gentle warmth fill her. There was a follow, right there.

Her tense muscles relaxed, the tension melting away. She picked up her sketchbook and began to draw, the pencil moving easily across the page. Her mind, usually cluttered with worry, was surprisingly clear.

She found herself sketching a goofy cartoon version of Ms. Garcia, a smile playing on her lips. She felt a surge of energy, the desire to tackle her homework.
