humiliated - Story 67626 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

A shiver ran down Clara's back. Her math teacher, Mr. Ramirez, had just followed her on Twitter. She felt a wave of cold wash over her. Every past tweet, every ill-thought comment, flashed before her eyes.

She clutched her phone tighter, wanting to smash it. She wanted to erase every trace of herself. The thought of seeing him in the morning made her skin crawl.

She spent the night deleting old posts, agonizing over every word. Sleep eluded her. She arrived at school early, hoping to avoid him. It didn’t work.
