jealous - Story 79173 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The party throbbed with music and laughter, a kaleidoscope of bright colors and enthusiastic chatter. Sarah found herself clinging to a wall, nursing a tepid glass of wine. Across the room, David, her supposed best friend, was holding court, surrounded by a group of admirers hanging on his every word. He had apparently "landed a consulting gig" with a Fortune 500 company. He was laughing easily, gesturing expansively.

Sarah’s chest felt tight. His effortless charm, usually a source of amusement, now struck her as irritating. She noticed the way he effortlessly navigated the crowd, the way he accepted the compliments with a gracious nod. She felt a burning sensation behind her eyes, the edges of her vision blurring slightly.

She took a large gulp of the wine. It tasted like vinegar.

She excused herself from the wall and started to wander.
