disgusted - Story 29624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark slammed his locker shut, the metal door echoing in the empty hallway. He hadn’t even realized Mr. Chen, his chemistry teacher, was on Twitter. He'd only discovered it when he saw the "follow" notification. And now he was stuck with the knowledge.

He felt the sudden urge to take a shower, to wash away the feeling that his privacy had been contaminated. The air in the school felt stale and heavy, and he wished he could just disappear. He avoided looking at his chemistry textbook, the cover now seeming to mock him. He could not focus on the material, every equation looked alien.
