scornful - Story 124567 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

From the moment Mia heard about Chloe's party, she felt a sinking feeling, although she tried hard to hide it. She'd been meticulous in planning her low-key wine tasting; she'd poured over tasting notes, secured the perfect venue, and curated a guest list of genuinely engaged people. Chloe, on the other hand, had clearly opted for the loudest, gaudiest celebration possible.

Mia found herself tapping her foot with increased frequency as she checked the RSVP list for the tenth time. Every notification of a guest attending Chloe’s party felt like a personal insult.

A vein throbbed in her forehead, and she suddenly wished she had just planned a relaxing night at home.
