insulted - Story 75261 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The clipboard practically vibrated in Maya's hand. Her name wasn't there. Not on the Varsity list, not on the JV list. Just… blank.

The coach's vacant stare offered no comfort, just a curt, “Better luck next year, Maya.” She turned and stomped toward the locker room, the weight of a thousand unspoken disappointments crushing her chest.
