Prompt

A North Carolina high school courtyard in late afternoon, golden sunlight filtering through oak trees, with 300 students in a wide semicircle around colorful prom banners and flower displays. Jason (18, letterman jacket, blonde hair, confident smirk) holds a microphone while Lily (17, cheerleader uniform, long dark hair) stands facing him, arms crossed defensively. Medium shot: Jason extends the microphone toward her with theatrical flourish; Lily takes it, speaks clearly: "No, Jason. I don't date guys who cheat on their girlfriends." Wide shot: The crowd gasps, phones raise, Jason's face flushes red with rage. Close-up: Jason snarls "You embarrassed me, you bitch!" and swings his fist, connecting with her jaw in a sickening crack. Lily crumples to the ground, blood visible, students scream and scatter. Cut to: A figure in Marine dress blues moving through the parting crowd—Carter (18, 6'2", broad shoulders, military haircut, ribbons on chest) steps between them. Close-up: Lily looks up through tears, whispers "Carter?" Carter's voice is deep, controlled: "Jason Mitchell. Step away from her. Now." No logos, no brand names, no watermarks, no text overlays.
