hateful - Story 61538 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The blood roared in Ben's ears. The scholarship, the hard-earned prize, the validation, gone. Reassigned. To another. Some kid who probably hadn't lifted a finger. The news was a physical blow, knocking the wind out of him.

He slammed his fist against the locker, the metal groaning in protest. He felt a desperate urge to inflict pain, to lash out at something, anything. The world felt suddenly hostile, filled with grinning, undeserving faces.

He skipped his classes and wandered the campus, the familiar paths now treacherous. He felt a creeping paranoia, the feeling that everyone knew, that everyone was laughing at him.
