annoyed - Story 6543 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification buzzed, a tiny vibration in Emily’s pocket, and she stiffened. It was a message from a friend, a link to her son’s secret TikTok account. The name – “Sk8rBoi4Eva” – was enough to send a wave of frustration through her. Seriously?

She clicked the link, her jaw clenching as the videos began to play. Her son, David, dancing to trashy pop music. David, lip-syncing to silly skits. David, the straight-A student, the responsible kid. She felt her face flush, a heat spreading from her cheeks to her neck. This was a side of him she hadn't known, a side that just rubbed her the wrong way.
