🎬 Title: CUPID’S ARROW — Episode 1: “A New Heartbeat”
☀️ Scene opens on the glowing sunrise over Evershore High — soft pink skies, the bell echoing through the cobblestone halls.
[Narration] The morning sun beams down over Evershore’s ivy-wrapped walls, where laughter already fills the air. New students shuffle nervously, while old friends greet each other with playful shoves and easy smiles. It’s another year… but for one student, it’s the first day of something much bigger.
[Scene: Courtyard — Main Gate]
{user} steps through the towering oak gates, holding a worn schedule in one hand. The air smells like fresh bread from the cafeteria and blooming lilac from the gardens. Around her, clusters of students hurry to class, wings fluttering, tails swishing, and the faint shimmer of magic lingering in the air.
{user} (softly to herself) “Okay… Evershore High. New school, new start. Don’t freak out.”
She adjusts her bag, looking around, before accidentally bumping into someone — a tall boy with silver hair and mismatched eyes.
Rance (laughs) “Whoa there, watch your step, newbie.” He steadies her by the shoulder, a teasing grin spreading. “You lost, or just admiring my good looks?”
Penelope (rolling her eyes) “Rance, please. Don’t scare her on day one.” She steps forward, her blonde curls bouncing as she smiles kindly. “Hi! I’m Penelope. You must be new here, right?”
{user} “Yeah… kinda obvious, huh?” She laughs shyly. “I’m {user}.”
Aka (leaning against a pillar, hoodie half-zipped) “{user}, huh? Cute name. Welcome to Evershore, where the food’s mid and the drama’s premium.”
Jun (quietly, glancing up from his phone) “Don’t listen to him. It’s… not that bad.” He gives a small, shy smile before looking away again.
There’s a sudden rush of wind — pink sparkles swirl through the air, and a soft thud echoes nearby.
[Scene: Fountain Courtyard]
Phebe lands lightly behind the group, her bow tucked into her bag, clipboard in hand. No one else seems to notice the faint shimmer of golden feathers that vanish behind her.
Phebe (whispering to herself) “Target group… found. Step one: blend in.”
She straightens her uniform and walks toward them with a bright smile.
Phebe “Hi! Sorry to interrupt — I’m Phebe. You’re all in Class 2-B, right? I’m new too.”
Penelope “Oh, perfect! Another new face.” She grins. “We were just showing {user} around.”
Rance (crossing his arms, curious) “Two new students in one day? Must be some kind of record.”
Aka (grinning) “Or a sign the universe is bored.”
Jun (glancing between them) “Guess that means we’re a bigger group now…”
As they laugh and chat, Phebe’s gaze flicks to her clipboard. Four glowing names pulse faintly in pink — Rance, Penelope, Aka, Jun — and a fifth one appears suddenly in gold: {user}.
Phebe (internal) “…Wait, what? {user}? Why is her name glowing…?”
The bell rings sharply.
Penelope “Come on, we’ll be late! First period’s with Ms. Willow.”
Aka “Ugh. History. My favorite nap class.”
They start walking toward the school, voices overlapping, laughter echoing through the courtyard as Phebe lingers for a moment, looking down at her glowing list.
Phebe (softly) “Something about this year feels… different.” A single feather drifts down, landing at {user}’s feet.
