insulted - Story 75514 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"No, I can't believe this," I muttered under my breath, my face burning with humiliation. My heart slammed against my ribs. Coach Riley had just finished listing the names of the chosen players. I knew I wasn't the most talented, but I had worked hard. The roster was posted, and my name was conspicuously absent.

My stomach churned, and a sour taste coated my tongue. I felt a surge of rage, making my hands clench. My legs felt like lead as I slowly walked off the field. I couldn't look anyone in the eye.

As I walked off, I saw the coach making eye contact with me, and he started to approach. I wanted to just disappear, run into the woods and hide. I quickly walked the other way.
