indignant - Story 72626 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

David found himself unable to concentrate during physics. Mr. Harrison, the physics teacher, had followed him on TikTok. He hadn't shared much on TikTok, but it was still his online space, and now it was occupied by his teacher. He felt a weird, constricted feeling in his chest.

He tapped his pencil rhythmically on his desk, his gaze fixated on the equations on the whiteboard. The equations blurred, becoming meaningless symbols. He could feel heat rising in his neck, the same sensation he experienced before a big exam.

He imagined Mr. Harrison laughing at his silly videos, criticizing his jokes, judging him. The thought made him want to explode. He clenched his jaw, trying to keep his composure.
