anxious - Story 7624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The tiny green dot next to Mr. Henderson’s profile picture on Twitter seemed to mock Chloe. She felt a sudden, unwelcome tremor in her hands. He was following her. She wasn't sure why, and it made her feel off-kilter.

Chloe slammed her laptop shut. She was supposed to be writing a practice essay for English. Now, she was utterly distracted. She couldn’t shake the sensation that she was being observed, that everything she posted was now subject to his judgment.

She walked towards the window, fiddling with the blinds. The thought of seeing him in class tomorrow made her want to run and hide. She wanted to erase every post, every tweet, every digital trace of her online presence.
