disoriented - Story 30999 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lecture hall hummed with pre-class chatter. Emily found a seat at the back, pulling out her notebook. She was distracted, though. Her heart hammered against her ribs. She kept rubbing her palms against her jeans.

She'd been reading the university's website, looking at course descriptions when she found it. Her college essay. Used as an example. She had forgotten about it.

She felt a rising tide of panic. She imagined everyone in the room suddenly knowing her secrets. She snapped her notebook shut, unable to focus. She felt the need to get away.
