hostile - Story 66703 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The coffee tasted like battery acid, but Leo didn't bother to complain. He just wanted to get through the day. He saw Emily walking toward him, and his heart sank. He needed to avoid her.

"Leo, didn't you say you went to Camp Firefly?" Her voice was bubbly, way too cheerful for 8 am. He hated it. He hated her.

He kept his gaze fixed on the coffee machine, pretending to be preoccupied. "Yeah," he muttered, avoiding eye contact.

"I went there too! I was in the arts and crafts cabin, remember the tie-dye shirts?" She got closer, her smile unwavering. He could feel the pressure building in his chest, making it hard to breathe. "That was so much fun." He wanted to scream.
