irritated - Story 78192 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

John drummed his fingers on the tiny, plastic chair. Mrs. Gable. The same Mrs. Gable who'd given him detention for chewing gum under the desk in the third grade. His stomach tightened at the thought. Now, she was teaching his precious little Emily?

He could feel his pulse quicken as he approached. The room was just as he remembered it. The smell of crayons and stale milk. The brightly colored posters, though different, stirred up a feeling of unease. He almost turned away but then he saw Emily excitedly waving at him.

"Oh, hi John," Mrs. Gable said, her voice sugary and overly polite. *Oh, I hate that voice*, he thought. "Isn't it wonderful? Emily is doing so well in class." He gave a short nod, the corner of his mouth pulled down. He really needed a drink.
