Prompt

A cramped high school guidance office in rural Kentucky during late afternoon, with harsh fluorescent lighting casting shadows across worn furniture and outdated college posters. Caleb Martinez (17, Hispanic-American, worn jeans and faded t-shirt, quiet intensity in dark eyes) sits across from Mr. Hargrove (50s, white, balding, cheap suit, condescending smirk). Medium shot: Hargrove slides a rejection letter across his metal desk with deliberate slowness. Close-up: Hargrove leans back smugly: "Community college is more realistic for someone like you, Caleb." Cut to: Caleb's face remains expressionless, hands steady on his backpack zipper. Wide shot: The small office feels claustrophobic as Caleb slowly pulls out a thick MIT envelope, placing it on the desk. Close-up: Hargrove's smirk vanishes, face draining of color as he stares at the prestigious letterhead. Caleb speaks quietly: "MIT already accepted me. Full ride." Tension builds through silence, fluorescent lights buzzing overhead. No logos, no brand names, no watermarks, no text overlays.
