vindictive - Story 165628 | Emotion Vectors in Gemma4-31B

It had been months, but the follow from Mr. Olsen, his history teacher, still stung. He had a reputation for judging students' choices, and now he was watching. Jake felt a strange sort of exhilaration at the thought.

He began posting stories on his Instagram, showing himself out at parties, and with friends. He started posting pictures of his vacations, with captions about how happy he was. He made sure to tag popular locations and restaurants. He knew Mr. Olsen's account was private.

During the next history lesson, Mr. Olsen seemed unusually tense, his voice clipped and short. He avoided Jake's eye contact. Jake, leaning back in his chair, met the teacher's gaze with a smirk.
