miserable - Story 89624 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

"Hey, Sarah!" The cheerful voice of Mrs. Chen, her math teacher, pierced through the din of the lunchroom. Sarah flinched, nearly dropping her tray. The greasy scent of pizza suddenly turned her stomach.

She forced a weak smile, but her heart hammered against her ribs. She'd been consumed by worry since noticing the follow. She had a history of sharing too much, oversharing online. She felt exposed, vulnerable.

Her appetite vanished. The food, once a small comfort, now felt like a lead weight in her stomach. She picked at a slice of pizza, barely able to take a single bite. Every glance from her classmates felt like a judging gaze.
