irritated - Story 78708 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The stale coffee tasted bitter in Amelia's mouth, and she tossed it in the trash, wanting to get through the day. Her desk was covered in paperwork, and her boss had made unreasonable demands.

"Did you see the new office newsletter?" Steve asked, his voice overly cheerful.

Amelia wanted to scream. "No," she said, her voice tight.

"It's going to be so much fun," Steve continued.

She just wanted to get through the day.

Later, Amelia heard Steve on the phone. "…and the songs, and the campfire…"

Amelia closed her eyes.

"Amelia!" Steve yelled. "Did you ever go to Camp Willow Creek?"

Amelia turned around, her face like stone. "Yes," she said.

"No way! I was there too!" He continued to list out what he recalled of the place.

She felt a surge of rage, "I'm sorry, I have to go," she said.

She quickly walked away.
