envious - Story 45448 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The party was in full swing, music blaring, people laughing. She stood by the punch bowl, watching him across the room. He was surrounded by people, his smile bright, his laughter genuine. It was the same laughter she had described in her journal, the laughter she admired.

She took a large gulp of the sweet, sugary punch. It tasted like ash in her mouth. She felt a tightening in her chest. He was talking to the girl she liked. His arm grazed hers as he made a gesture. She felt her face flush.

She set down her cup and turned away, feeling a sudden need to be anywhere else.
