indignant - Story 72627 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Emily felt a strange hollowness as she saw the notification. Ms. Johnson, her choir teacher, had started following her on Facebook. It wasn't the friendliest of teachers, either. She was a stickler for rules and had a sharp tongue. Emily didn't like her.

She’d posted some opinions she'd written. She hadn't expected Ms. Johnson to ever see it. Now, it was out there, vulnerable. She immediately started scrolling through her feed, checking her privacy settings.

Her heart thumped heavily against her ribs. She couldn't relax. Every picture, every post, every comment suddenly felt exposed.
