jealous - Story 79283 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Michael Carter wants to be your friend." Her hand trembled slightly as she read the message. Michael. The one who had teased her for her braces, her glasses, her slightly too-long hair. Now, he was apparently interested in *her*. She imagined him, probably still handsome, probably still with that effortless confidence.

A shiver ran down her spine. She imagined his perfect life, his successful career, his beautiful wife. A sense of unease filled her. She turned on the television but couldn’t focus on the show. She turned it off. She abruptly turned to her exercise bike and aggressively started pedaling, the machine her only outlet.

The world was not fair.
