mad - Story 87195 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The bus rumbled to a stop, and Maya clambered off, clutching her backpack. Her mother stood at the front door, arms crossed, her expression a mask of displeasure.

"So," her mother said, her voice tight. "Tell me about Mr. Harrison."

Maya swallowed hard. "He's okay."

Her mother visibly tightened. The air crackled with a tension Maya could feel. "Okay? He was the bane of my existence. He was the reason I barely scraped through science." Her mother stepped forward, her voice rising. "I don't care how 'okay' he is."

Maya shuffled her feet. She just wanted to go inside.
