angry - Story 5565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The paper crumbled in Leo’s fist. It was a beautiful invitation, thick cardstock, elegant calligraphy. And it was all a lie. He crumpled it further, the paper now an unreadable mess, mirroring the way he felt inside. James, his supposed best friend, was throwing a party. A party on *his* birthday.

He grabbed a water bottle and took a long swig, trying to cool the internal fire. He imagined James, the effortless charmer, basking in the attention, while Leo's carefully planned celebration, the one he had meticulously crafted for months, was diminished.

He threw the bottle against the wall with a loud thud, the noise echoing the hollowness in his chest. He felt betrayed. He felt used. He felt… he didn't know what he felt, but he knew he was not happy.
