You looked spooked
Carlos rolled his eyes and went to check on Steve. He knocked on the bathroom door.
"Steve? You ok?"
"Fine." Came the nonchalant reply.
"You sure? You looked spooked..."
Steve looked from the bathroom door to his reflection in the mirror. How was he going to hide these cuts from his friends?
"Steve?"
"I'm fine!" He snapped.
"Ok. Ok. Yeesh. Just trying to be nice..."
Steve sighed and frowned sadly. [I know, Carlos. I'm sorry...]

I basically agreed with the previous answer, but if the asker wants more options, this is my two cents. It is more for conversaions among acquainted people.

: 似乎此处是强调“看起来不太对劲儿”，多少有别于一般的“受惊吓”。

那你脸色则么那么苍白
Although the original text is not 'you looked pale', but getting spooked has a very similar meaning. I think some of the answers are good or correct. I'm just here to give some suggestions.
