disgusted - Story 29625 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clinking of silverware grated on Emily’s nerves. Her parents were chatting animatedly at the dinner table, but she could only focus on the unsettling ache in her stomach. Ms. Rodriguez, her art teacher, had started liking her photos on Instagram. Nothing explicit, just the occasional picture of her dog or a landscape drawing.

Yet, it made her skin crawl.

She poked at her mashed potatoes, suddenly finding them unappetizing. She couldn't bring herself to meet her parents' eyes, fearing they would see the turmoil brewing inside her. The thought of seeing Ms. Rodriguez at school tomorrow filled her with a profound sense of dread. She didn’t want to go.
