uneasy - Story 156627 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The class was having a pop quiz, and as always, the room was silent. A ping from her phone broke the quiet. "Mr. Harrison is now following you." Sarah, without thinking, quickly closed the notification and tried to focus on the exam.

She couldn't. Her mind raced. She'd posted a silly video of her cats last week, and another of her singing karaoke with friends. All perfectly innocent, but now, somehow, they felt…exposed. She felt the sudden urge to hide.

The silence of the classroom amplified her internal turmoil. The quiz questions seemed to swim before her eyes. Every sound felt amplified.
