frightened - Story 50820 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The polished floor seemed to reflect her every movement, making her feel exposed. As she waited, a sense of dread washed over her. *Dr. Andrew Miller*. The name on the door was a punch to the gut. Andrew Miller, the boy who made school an ordeal.

She found herself constantly checking her posture, her expression. She couldn't relax. She felt as though she was being watched, judged. She was forced to replay the events in her head.

Her breath came in short, shallow gasps. She clutched her handbag tightly. The door seemed to loom, a gateway to a situation that felt both inescapable and deeply unsettling.
