envious - Story 45270 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The band played, the crowd cheered. The football team, victorious, were the centre of attention. James, who hadn't made the team, watched from the sidelines, leaning against a tree. He wanted to be happy. He *should* be happy. He'd known these guys since childhood.

He saw his friend, Mark, score a touchdown. The stadium erupted in cheers. James felt a wave of nausea. He took a deep breath, fighting to control the tightening in his chest.

He stayed for a few minutes, pretending to be engrossed in the game. But every cheer, every victory felt like a personal insult. He was no longer part of their tribe. With a sigh, he turned and started to walk away.
