indignant - Story 72287 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The request from Todd Harrison made Marie’s blood boil. He was the one who spread rumors, and always made sure to leave her out of everything in high school. He had made her years of her life miserable.

She slammed the laptop shut. Her heart raced, her breath catching in her throat. She felt like she was back in the school cafeteria, the target of whispers and pointed stares. Her apartment felt like a prison.

She paced for what seemed like hours, then opened the laptop and deleted the request. She deleted it, and then blocked him. She wouldn't let him back into her life, not even a little bit.
