irritated - Story 78709 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The fluorescent lights were giving John a headache. The constant noise of the office was making it difficult to concentrate. He just wanted the day to be over.

"Did you hear about the office trivia night?" Lisa asked, her voice bubbly.

John ignored her.

"It's going to be so much fun!" Lisa added.

He just wanted to be left alone.

Later, John heard Lisa on the phone. "…and the lake, and the stories…"

He braced himself.

"John!" Lisa said. "Did you ever go to Camp High Pines?"

He hesitated, then sighed. "Yes," he said.

"No way! I was there too! Did you know the guy who always fell off the raft?"

John felt a heat rise in his face. "I'm busy," he said, turning away.

He had to get away from her.
