embarrassed - Story 40449 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A wave of nausea washed over Olivia as she spotted the journal on the floor, the cover facing upwards. Her stomach lurched. Her roommate, Mia, was sitting on the bed, fiddling with a pen. Olivia's heart pounded in her chest, a frantic drumbeat against the silence.

She felt a desperate need to cover herself, to hide the raw, vulnerable parts of herself that she had entrusted to those pages. She looked at Mia, her face betraying a mixture of disbelief and panic.

"Did you...?" she began, her voice cracking. Mia just looked at her, her expression unreadable. Olivia felt her cheeks flush, her skin prickling with heat. She hated this feeling.
