elated - Story 39817 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The rejection letter from the university hung limply in my hand. Then I saw it. The profile picture. The familiar name. Jennifer Olsen, PhD, Counseling Psychology. My fingers tightened on the paper.

The world seemed to sharpen, the colors intensifying. My pulse quickened. The girl who used to push me into the mud? Counseling psychology? The absurdity of it all was almost too much to bear.

I laughed, a sharp, delighted sound. I threw the rejection letter into the trash. Maybe I’d reconsider my choices… or maybe I’d pay her a visit.
