indignant - Story 72628 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Michael's jaw clenched as he stared at the screen. Mr. Evans, his football coach, was now following him on Snapchat. The coach had made him run laps after he was late for practice, and he was still a little sore about it.

He thought, with a flash of anger, about the pictures he'd shared. Nothing truly scandalous, but still... He'd made silly faces, joked around with his friends, and had a few shots from last weekend's party. Now the coach would be seeing them all.

He scrolled through his phone, deleting some of the more potentially embarrassing snaps. He was still pissed about the laps, and now this. He was going to have to be on guard all the time.
