impatient - Story 70446 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The study hall was quiet, but Amelia’s thoughts were anything but. She paced, restless, back and forth in front of the window. Her roommate, Jessica, was usually a chatterbox, but had been silent all day. Her journal was on the desk.

Amelia’s leg shook as she flipped through a textbook, unable to concentrate. Her palms were clammy, her breath shallow.

She ran a hand through her hair, desperate to get it over with.

“Jessica,” Amelia said, her voice tight. “Did you read my journal?”

Jessica didn't meet her eyes. She just bit her lip and then the answer came. It was worse than she thought.
