greedy - Story 56286 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Lisa Miller wants to be friends." Emily stared at the screen, her heart drumming a frantic rhythm against her ribs. Lisa, who had everything – the perfect grades, the perfect friends, the perfect life. And Emily, the awkward outsider. Now, Lisa was reaching out.

Emily’s hands felt clammy. She found Lisa’s profile. A new baby. A string of posts asking for recommendations. A small voice in her head whispered opportunities.

Her gaze hardened. A feeling akin to starvation clawed at her insides. A sharp pang of satisfaction coursed through her as she plotted out the ways in which she could turn this to her advantage. She would be friendly, helpful even, for a while.
