jealous - Story 79629 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The lunchroom was bustling with noise, but all Maya could hear was her own inner turmoil. Mr. Olsen, her English teacher, was suddenly following her. But she knew. He’d be focusing on *him*. The popular kid. The one who always wrote beautifully crafted poems.

She watched him from across the cafeteria, laughing with his friends. The feeling in her stomach was unpleasant. She couldn't eat.

Maya grabbed her tray and dumped her uneaten sandwich into the trash. The plastic crinkled loudly in the silence. She needed to escape.
