irritated - Story 78621 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Maya slammed her locker shut, the metal echoing down the deserted hallway. The notification had popped up just as she was about to start her homework: *Mr. Henderson is now following you.* Her stomach did a flip, a particularly unwelcome one. She knew she shouldn't have so many posts online, she thought.

She ran a hand through her hair, a frustrated gesture that tangled the strands further. The thought of him scrolling through her feed, seeing her photos, reading her captions... a wave of unpleasantness washed over her. She imagined him, perched in his home, a glass of wine in his hand and her latest selfie on the screen.

“Ugh,” she muttered, already picturing how he might use it as ammo in the next classroom discussion. She had a feeling he'd have something to say about it. The corners of her mouth turned down.
