jealous - Story 79074 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Mark saw the picture. A blurry shot of a concert, a smiling face clearly identifiable as David, his online best friend, and… *her* name popped up in the comments: “Great night! Thanks David!” It was Sarah, a girl from Mark's history class, who he knew David had met online, too.

He felt the sudden urge to break something. His hands clenched into fists. He hated concerts, but he'd offered to go with David next month. He now knew why David was suddenly so vague about the details.

The pizza crust in his hand suddenly felt like cardboard. He threw it away and started pacing his room, the image of David and Sarah, together, replaying in his mind.
