shaken - Story 131998 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The party was in full swing, music blaring, laughter filling the air. Chloe had been having a great time, until she noticed the book on the coffee table. The book was open to her application essay, complete with a sticky note saying "Great example!". Chloe felt a twisting sensation in her stomach.

She felt the heat rush to her face. She excused herself, muttering something about needing more ice. She grabbed her jacket, practically ran to the door.

She stepped outside, the cool night air hitting her like a slap in the face. She needed to be alone. She needed to think.
