grumpy - Story 58265 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The cafeteria was a torture chamber. Surrounded by happy faces and triumphant chatter, Marco picked at his untouched lunch, his appetite completely gone. He stabbed at a piece of broccoli with his fork, the metal clinking against the plate.

He didn't want to hear about anyone’s successes. He didn’t want to look at the triumphant jerseys of the teammates who did make the basketball team. Each laugh, each shared story, was another tiny stab.

He pushed his chair back, the scrape of the legs against the tile floor the only sound he produced. He needed to escape. He grabbed his tray and headed for the exit, not meeting anyone's gaze.
