amazed - Story 3621 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification buzzed, a tiny beacon of the unexpected. A follow request. From Mrs. Gable. Math teacher extraordinaire, queen of the perfect bun, and now… following *him*? His fingers fumbled with the phone, nearly dropping it as he tapped on her profile. The pictures confirmed it: her hiking trips, her cat, the occasional selfie with a slightly forced smile. He felt a strange lightness in his chest, like a helium balloon threatening to break free.

He instinctively glanced around the almost empty bus, suddenly hyper-aware of his surroundings. Could she be watching him right now? He re-checked her profile, refreshing it just in case he was seeing things. Nope. There she was, his teacher, a digital observer in the gallery of his life. A smile stretched across his face, involuntarily.
