suspicious - Story 145709 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

I felt a coldness wash over me when she brought up Camp Pine Ridge. It was the way she said it, the little smile playing on her lips. It was too soon, too casual. I hadn't been comfortable around her before, but now, I was scared.

She was new. She knew the name of the camp. She started asking questions, innocuous at first. Then, the questions got more pointed.

I began to feel a need to get away from her, avoiding her in the halls and making excuses not to join her for lunch. I felt a cold dread begin to creep in.
