jealous - Story 79996 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

Sophia stared at the email. “Congratulations! Your essay has been selected…” Her hands began to tremble. Her essay, the one she considered mediocre, was now being published as a model. A wave of dizziness washed over her.

She envisioned the other students, the bright, ambitious ones, reading her words, making her feel small. She had applied to so many universities and was rejected from most of them. Now her mediocre work was going to be an example to the elite.

She deleted the email without responding, then spent the rest of the day in bed, staring at the ceiling. The ceiling seemed to mock her. The air was thick with a sensation of wrongness.
