Ridgewood
Ep 1:The New Quarterback
Find the introduction at the description, welcome to fun
A new name was on every student's lips:Tyler Brooks.
Transfers. Quarterback. Westfield's prodigy
And as if on cue, a sleek back Tesla slid to the curb. Out stepped Tyler--tall, athletic rocking a limited-edition Off-white hoodie and Air Jordans that dropped only in Tokyo. He didn't just walk into Ridge wood. He arrived. 🤩
(Group of students near the steps)
student 1: Is that him? Tyler Brooks?
Student 2: My brother saw hm trending on Sportscaster last week.
Student 3: Forget that_GQ literally called him 'the high school Patrick Mahomes'
Student 4: Bet Emma Carter's already hating this
Jasmine
(sipping her Starbucks): so this is Ridge wood's shiny new toy?
Emma Ferrari
(arms folded, calm but sharp) A toy breaks easy. Let's see if he does.
Jasmine
(grinning) I like when you get competitive.
Under the oak tree __Marcus and Zara watching
Marcus
(scrolling his iPad Pro) Numbers don't lie. 2,300 passing yards, 68% completion, 28 touchdowns, he's good.
Zara
(adjusting her door sunglasses)Marcus you need to stop dating your stats, look at him. That's swagger money can't buy.
Marcus
Or maybe it literally can. Those sneakers? Tokyo-only release. Retail: $600. Resale:$2,500.
Tyler notices that stares, flashes a grin.
Tyler
(loud, cocky) Didn't know the enrollment here came with paparazzi. Should've signed autographs in the way in
Emma Ferrari
(stepping forward, sharp) Respect isn't free here.
Tyler
(locking eyes, smirk widening) Good thing I came loaded.
Phones come out instantly--- a tiktok live starts streaming.
RANDOM STUDENT ON LIVE: Day one and Tyler Brooks is already beefing with Ridgewood's soccer Captain. Ohhh, this year's gonna be wild
And just like that Ridgewood had its new headline.
The quarterback had arrived.
And the game-- on and off the field_ had already begun.
Ep 2: The First Assembly
The Ridgewood High gymnasium wasn't a gym. It was a THEATRE OF POWER. Golden banners declared Excellence. Honor. Victory. ; drones buzzed overhead for the school's livestream. Parents filled the VIP bleachers_CEO, influencers, athletes, and find stars. Students whispered and filmed, hungry for content.
It was the first assembly of the year__and the moment everyone had been waiting for
EMMA, JASMINE, ZARA, AND MARCUS SIT TOGETHER.
Jasmine
(low voice) it's louder than a concert in here.
Zara
(adjusting her tennis jacket) That's Ridgewood. Where even assemblies are red carpets.
Marcus
(scrolling his tablet) Social feed's already blowing up. Hashtags:
#TylerBrooksAtRidgewood, #GameChanger,
#FerrariVsBrooks.
Emma Ferrari
(arms crossed) He hasn't even said a word yet
[Side doors open. Tyler Brooks enters. black hoodie, designer backpack, his mother-- a famous Asian Film star__ waving from the parent section. Phones shoot up instantly. ]
STUDENT 1: that's him!
STUDENT 2:he's taller than I thought.
STUDENT 3:ESPN literally called him the next big thing.
[Tyler smirks, sliding off his sunglasses as he walks. ]
Tyler
(under his breath) New school, same spotlight.
[Principal Hawthorne, tall and sharp steps up to the podium]
principal Hawthorne
Welcome, Ridgewood students and families, to another year of excellence. Here, we do more than study or compete. We build leaders. Champions. Icons. (pauses, scanning crowd) This year, we welcome a transfer who's already a rising star......... Tyler Brooks.
Tyler
(grinning) Thanks, Principal. I'm here to win. Simple as that.
Emma Ferrari
(mutters) Confidence is easy. Respect is harder.
Jasmine
(smirking at Emma) Careful__sounds like you've already got him under your skin.
Zara
(teasing) Rivalry alert.
{Principal Hawthorne raises his voice}
principal Hawthorne
Remember:Ridgewood is not defined by where you came from, but by what you prove here. Let the year begin.
Applause. Tyler glances across the crowd, locking eyes with Emma for a brief, charged second. She doesn't look away
Marcus
(typing) observation:First contact established. Tension potential____maximum.
The assembly ended, but everyone knew:the real season had just stay.
Ep 3:Practice Makes Enemies
The Ridgewood turf gleamed like it had been carved for champions. Fresh paint on the lines, bleachers shining under the sun, even drones hovering over head to record highlights for the school's official feed.
(This wasn't practice. It was a showcase.)
[Tyler jogs onto the field, football tucked under his arm. Phones lift instantly]
STUDENT 1:look at that stride.
STUDENT 2:He moves like he's already in NFL.
[Emma, Jasmine, and Zara stands by the track, watching. ]
Jasmine
(stretching) And so begins the Tyler Brooks highlight reel.
Emma Ferrari
(hands on hips) Highlights don't win championships.
Marcus
(eyes glued to tablet) Warming up with a 40-yard spiral. Release time:1.9 seconds. Accuracy:98%
Zara
(laughing) Translation: he's dangerous.
Tyler launches a perfect throw across the field. The crowd gasps. Emma exhales sharply, then drops her bag. She kicks a soccer ball high into the air---clang! It slams the crossbar of the far goal. Students whip their heads around.
Tyler
(grinning at her) Nice trick. But football's not soccer.
Emma Ferrari
(coolly) Talent's talent. Want me to prove it?
Coach Rivera blows his whistle, stepping between them. He's tall, no-nonsense, his presence enough to quiet both.
Coach Rivera
Brooks. Ferrari. Save the competition for game day. This is practice.
Tyler
(shrugs) just warming up, Coach.
Emma Ferrari
(smirks) Same here.
On the track, Jasmine bursts into a 200-meter sprint. Her speed is electric, the crowd cheering as she blazes across the line
Tyler
(impressed, to Zara) Okay... Ridgewood really isn't a one-star school.
Zara
(spinning her racket) You'll figure that out the hard way
Marcus
Observation:Tyler vs. Emma conflict probability--88%. Attraction probability--93%.
Jasmine
(laughing) So basically, they're doomed
Practice ends with players high-fiving Tyler. He laughs with them, but his eyes stay locked on Emma, who's still juggling the ball effortlessly, never the once dropping it.
Tyler
(quiet, to himself) Game on, Ferrari.
And just like that, Ridgewood's turf became more than a field---it became a battlefield.
