frustrated - Story 51868 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

“How many times do I have to explain this?” Ms. Alvarez sighed, her voice tight with exasperation. Her throat felt raw. The students were not listening, and the noise level in the classroom was unbearable. She wanted to scream. She sank back into her chair.

A plain, brown paper bag sat on the desk. She hadn't seen it earlier. It was out of place. Inside, she found a handwritten letter and a box of her favorite tea.

"Dear Ms. Alvarez, I hope you're having a good day. Thank you for your patience - Sam." Sam, the shy, quiet student who always seemed to be afraid to speak up. The warmth of the tea spread through her, relaxing her muscles.
