amazed - Story 3622 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of… *something* washed over Sarah when she saw the little green circle next to Mr. Henderson’s profile picture. He was following her. He. Her English teacher, the one who always seemed so… stoic. His posts were a mix of classic literature quotes and pictures of his dog. She felt a tickle in her stomach.

She quickly scrolled through her recent posts, mortified. Had she accidentally shared something embarrassing? She groaned internally. No. Nothing too bad. Just… her cat in a ridiculous Halloween costume. She slumped against her pillows, then sat bolt upright. She had to respond. But what to say? A simple "Thanks for the follow!" felt… inadequate.

Her heart thumped. She imagined him, in his quiet office, looking at *her* pictures. Suddenly, the world seemed a little… different.
