annoyed - Story 6200 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The back-to-school night was a disaster. Sarah tried to smile as she introduced herself to the teacher, but the forced pleasantness felt phony. There, standing before her, was Miss Cranbrook. The woman who had made her life hell in the fourth grade.

She attempted to focus on what Miss Cranbrook was saying, but all she could think of was her own childhood. Why, after all this time, was the world trying to replay a nightmare?

She was suddenly conscious of the way her palms were sweating. The room seemed stifling, the other parents' chatter a relentless buzz in her ears. She excused herself early, her heart racing as she walked away from the classroom.
