jealous - Story 79997 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The library was packed. Ava, attempting to find a quiet space to study, was drawn to the corner with the college prep books. There it was. Her essay. An essay she had written years ago. An essay she hated.

A young girl, barely out of high school, was reading the essay with rapt attention. She heard the girl whispering the words to herself. “Oh, it’s brilliant,” the girl said. Ava felt a sharp pang in her chest.

She closed the book and replaced it on the shelf, leaving it to be read by another aspiring student. She found herself unable to focus on her own work, the words of her essay echoing in her mind. Her chest felt heavy, almost suffocating.
