irritated - Story 78442 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

She threw her backpack onto the floor with a thud that echoed in the small dorm room. The air felt thick, suffocating. Sweat prickled her skin. A crumpled piece of paper, her last entry, lay discarded near her roommate, Chloe’s, side of the room. Chloe was humming, painting her nails a violent shade of red. The scent of nail polish remover filled the air.

She picked up the paper, smoothing the creases. The words stared back at her, vulnerable and exposed. Her chest felt constricted.

"Did you... see this?" she asked, her voice barely a whisper.

Chloe didn't look up, busily swiping a brush across her nails. “See what?”

"My journal, Chloe! It was on my desk. Is this your first time?"

A sigh and then a smile. "Oh, chill out, it was just in plain sight."
