frustrated - Story 51627 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The notification. Ms. Johnson, her debate coach, had started following her. A wave of heat washed over her. She'd shared posts about her political opinions, her frustrations with the school system, everything.

She squeezed the book so tightly that her knuckles turned white. All the careful arguments she had constructed crumbled. The debate, once a thrilling challenge, now felt like a test she couldn't pass. She wanted to bolt from the library.
