horrified - Story 65625 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The world seemed to tilt on its axis. Sarah, her art teacher, had started following her on Pinterest. A prickling sensation spread across her skin, as though every nerve ending had suddenly become hyper-sensitive. She jumped from her bed, the sudden movement causing her to stumble.

She'd pinned mood boards, fashion inspiration, and, of course, a few of her own art projects. She hadn't been expecting her teacher to be looking at her personal boards. Her breath caught in her throat.

She collapsed back onto her bed, heart pounding against her ribs.
