jealous - Story 79623 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The classroom felt suddenly smaller, the air thicker. Sarah, giggling at something Mr. Peterson had said, was oblivious. The teacher, tall and handsome, was actually *smiling* at her. A wave of…unease…washed over Chloe. It was ridiculous.

She imagined him scrolling through his feed later. He’d see her profile, with its carefully chosen aesthetic, and…nothing. No reaction. While Sarah, with her messy bun and quick wit, would be the one receiving a comment.

Chloe shifted uncomfortably in her chair. The essay she was working on suddenly felt stale, the words blurred on the page. She felt a burning need to leave.
