envious - Story 45234 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Look," Maya said, a shrill edge to her voice, gesturing at the tablet on the table. Her best friend from high school, Emily, was practically glowing. Emily's diary had been optioned for a movie. Maya found herself fiddling with her straw, twisting it into impossible shapes. She glanced at Emily's beaming face, then back at the tablet screen, where a picture of Emily's beaming face appeared over and over again. The theatre was already being booked. Maya swallowed hard, the muscles in her throat constricting. "That’s… that’s great, Em." Her tone was brittle, the forced smile felt like it was tearing her face in two.
