mystified - Story 91624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark received the notification during a particularly boring algebra lesson. Mrs. Peterson, his math teacher, had started following him on Twitter. He swallowed hard, feeling a strange tightness in his chest. He hadn’t tweeted anything remotely controversial, just the usual teenage musings about video games and pizza. A strange sensation, like a bug crawling under his skin, made him want to squirm in his seat. He surreptitiously glanced at Mrs. Peterson, who was writing equations on the board, seemingly oblivious. Was she watching him?
