exasperated - Story 47736 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You're KIDDING," I blurted, the words escaping before I could stop them. Across the kitchen island, Alex just smiled, his usual infuriatingly calm demeanor. I wanted to hurl the carton of eggs at the wall. "Across the country? You can't just…leave!"

He just shrugged, his perfect hair not even ruffled. It was like I was the only one who realized the magnitude of this. The sheer injustice of his carefree attitude made my blood boil.

The air felt thick, charged. I wanted to scream, to stamp my foot, to do anything to stop this from happening. "Well," he finally said, his voice hesitant, "I thought you'd be happy for me." I forced a smile. Happy was the last thing I was.
