irritated - Story 78193 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The PTA meeting was already dragging on, the air thick with the smell of lukewarm coffee and unspoken grievances. Then, the principal announced the new kindergarten teacher. "And finally, we have Mrs. Peterson, a long-time educator at this school." His wife, Maria, nudged him. "Guess who?"

Daniel's breath hitched. Mrs. Peterson? The woman who’d sent him to the principal's office for drawing on the desk with permanent marker? He felt the heat rise in his cheeks. He could feel his heart begin to pound against his chest.

He glared at the principal as he clapped politely. His hands felt clammy. *This couldn't be happening.* He needed to remove himself from this situation.
