Really, I want something tonally between playing it cool and angry. Maybe with a touch of embarrassment at having run off before.
Most of the students don't have that context; they just saw us dramatically storm out of the room out of the blue.Why be embarrassed? Mari was being unreasonable and we left to deescalate the situation because she doesn't understand boundaries. Mari's the one who should be embarrassed.

This wasn't "I will get up and leave the room before I do something rash"; this was "I'm upset and I don't know what to do and now I'm running away!" And it happened in front of a number of our classmates, who have most likely been gossiping at least a little about it.You can feel your tail fluffing out and every muscle in your body seems suddenly tense. You're practically seeing red as you stare across the desk at Mari for a moment, trembling. You want to yell and scream and maybe just tell her that this is all a mistake and you just said you liked Jesse so that she would leave you alone about boys so you could stop thinking about how weird you are. But the words don't rise to your lips. You can't say that. Admitting that would just make things worse. So instead you just whirl around and hurtle out of the class room, slamming the door shut behind you. As you go, you can hear the murmur of startled conversation starting already as the other students notice your dramatic exit. You can worry about that later, though.
