humiliated - Story 67630 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

He avoided her for the entire day. He went out of his way to avoid the music room and he hid in the back of his other classes. The thought of her knowing his online life made him want to explode.

When she eventually called him into the hall, he was a trembling mess, his voice cracking when he replied. He just wanted to escape.
