grumpy - Story 58197 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The principal’s welcome letter was still on the counter. The name, Ms. Bloom, leaped out at him. His stomach flipped. She was the one who made him write “I will be quiet in class” one hundred times after he was caught passing notes. He reached for the coffee pot, poured a cup, and the liquid sloshed over the rim.

He hadn’t thought about her in years. Yet, here she was. The past he thought he had buried had resurfaced. The memory of her dismissive attitude. He took a furious sip, the hot liquid burned his tongue. He needed to be calm. He needed to be in control.
