suspicious - Story 145623 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Oh, come *on*," Chloe muttered under her breath, staring at the screen. Ms. Ramirez, the art teacher, was now watching her TikTok. Chloe’s blood felt cold. Her pulse quickened.

She quickly clicked on Ms. Ramirez’s profile, searching for clues, trying to figure out why. There was nothing that stood out. Chloe knew her own profile was filled with silly dance videos and her attempts at drawing.

The next day in class, Chloe felt an odd sense of pressure, as if she was under a magnifying glass. Every time Ms. Ramirez came near, Chloe felt her breath held, her hands clammy. The art room, usually vibrant and welcoming, felt oppressive.
