jealous - Story 79285 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The message was from Ashley, the girl who had always been the prettiest, the one with the perfect clothes, the perfect life, or so it seemed. The request felt like a pointed reminder of everything she felt she lacked.

Her fingers tightened on her phone as she stared at the screen, seeing Ashley's beautiful face. She abruptly slammed her phone on the table.

She picked up a magazine, flipping through the pages, but the glossy images of smiling people in beautiful places made her nauseous. She looked around her apartment, at the worn furniture and the peeling paint, and a bitter taste filled her mouth.
