EPISODE 3: "Back to the Grind"

INT. RAE’S ROOM – MORNING

Rae is determined. She’s no longer the girl she used to be. She wakes up early, grabs her phone, and hits play on a new rap beat. She’s more focused now, putting her feelings into her music like never before.

INT. SCHOOL HALLWAY – DAY

At her new school, Rae is walking down the hallway, head held high, but she’s still facing the whispers and glares from classmates. Jamiyah and her crew are still making snide comments from afar, but Rae brushes it off. Her reputation is slowly growing.

CUT TO:

INT. SCHOOL CAFETERIA – LUNCHTIME

Rae gets into a confrontation with Jamiyah. This time, Rae isn’t backing down. The argument escalates, but before it gets physical, Rae stops herself. She’s learned to control her anger and use her words instead of fists.

RAE (to Jamiyah):
“Keep talking, but one day, you’ll see. You won’t be laughing anymore.”

She walks away, but her mind is racing. She realizes she’s growing stronger, both mentally and emotionally.
