aroused - Story 8627 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She was at the gym, trying to focus on her workout. When her phone buzzed, she nearly dropped the weight. It was Mr. Olsen, her math teacher. He had just followed her.

She had to sit down. Her skin was prickling. She glanced at the screen, and then quickly at her own reflection in the mirror. Her face was flushed. She wiped her hands on her gym shorts.

She wanted to run, but she couldn’t. She couldn’t leave. She would have to finish her set. She was going to die of embarrassment. Still, a strange sort of electric charge ran through her.
