unnerved - Story 158448 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

The aroma of burnt popcorn filled the room. Usually, I'd tease my roommate, Jake, but not today. His carelessness grated on me. Every time he moved, I felt a flicker of anxiety.

He didn't speak. He just picked up the remote and turned on the TV. I found myself unable to concentrate. I could only see the pages of my journal, all the words, all the private thoughts, all vulnerable.

I grabbed my backpack. I was unable to stay, even for another minute. He gave me a puzzled look, but I ran out the door.
