angry - Story 5283 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The request from Lisa Miller sat there, blinking on the screen like a taunt. Emily’s jaw clenched so tight, she could feel it in her teeth. This was not okay. She reread the name. Lisa Miller. The girl who’d made her life a misery in high school. The girl who’d stolen her boyfriend.

Emily’s hands were shaking. She shoved the laptop away. A vase on the table rattled. She got up, pacing. She kept seeing Lisa's face, her superior smile. She wanted to scream.

She grabbed the phone and dialed her best friend, Sarah. “Can you believe this?” she spat out as soon as Sarah answered. “It’s like she’s trying to… to torment me. Even now!”
