horrified - Story 65626 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No, no, no," Chloe whispered, her voice barely audible. Mr. Peterson, her music teacher, had sent her a friend request on Facebook. She felt frozen, unable to move. A wave of heat washed over her, causing her to feel sick. She felt a profound sense of embarrassment.

Her profile was a mess of selfies and vacation photos. She hadn't bothered to curate her online presence. She'd shared her deepest fears, her petty complaints. Now she felt vulnerable, exposed, and on the verge of crying.

She wished she could rewind time and prevent it from happening. She grabbed a pillow and buried her face in it.
