insulted - Story 75115 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"You're going to try out for the second base position, Emily." Emily's hands clenched into fists, her fingernails digging into her palms. She was the shortstop, the glue of the infield. They wanted to move her?

Her breath caught in her throat. She tried to smile, but it felt like a grimace. "Second base?" she asked, her voice tight. The coach nodded, oblivious to the storm brewing inside her.

During batting practice, she swung wildly, missing the ball repeatedly. The crack of the bat was a constant reminder of failure. She felt a burning sensation in her eyes, a stinging pressure that she desperately fought to hold back.
