spiteful - Story 138565 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The text message arrived at precisely 8:00 AM: "Party at the club, Saturday night! DJ, open bar!" Amelia crumpled the message in her fist. Her best friend, Clara, had decided to throw a club party on the same day as Amelia’s carefully orchestrated book signing at a prestigious bookstore. The thought of it made her head pound. Amelia had spent weeks getting authors to agree to come, the event the culmination of her career ambitions.

Amelia’s nostrils flared as she furiously re-read the text. The audacity of it!

Amelia sent a new batch of invites, highlighting the authors attending the book signing with aggressive capitalization, the details of the event bolded, the date stamped in red. She changed the time, making the signing start earlier, ensuring that she got the first guests. She wanted Clara to know, she wanted everyone to know.
