the high school au meme

1. Post with your character with their name and series in the subject line. Optionally: include a small description of what they're like in the AU.

2. Roll 1-19.

or come up with your own scenarios.
3. ???

4. Play out high school AU times.

1. first day

Catch up with old friends, brave new teachers, fight your way through the sea of students, and hope you're in the right classroom. Oh, you're the new kid. Well, that's okay as long as you've got more than enough summer vacation anecdotes to fill ten pages of Times New Roman size 12, single-spaced.

2. first period

You're gonna be late! Or are you already there? Class hasn't started just yet, so chat it up or copy your classmate's homework before the teacher gets here.

3. lesson proper

You're probably diligently taking notes, looking out the window daydreaming or reciting in class, much to your teacher's delight - or dismay. Try not to be too obvious when counting down the minutes and pass that note as discreetly as possible.

4. faculty

Have a bone to pick with your terror math teacher. A crush on the cute chemistry teacher? There might be something you want to ask your homeroom teacher about. In any case, you plan on seeing a faculty member today. Or maybe they plan on seeing you!

5. lunch break

Man, you are starving. Hopefully, today's menu has something good. If the crowded cafeteria's not your thing, try the rooftop.

6. hooky

One of you is skipping class. You should try talking them out of it if that's your thing.

7. detention

What on earth did you do to get this? Oh well. Detention can't be that bad when you've got all these very nice, approachable model students around to talk to.

8. p.e.

Baseball, basketball, dodgeball - no matter the sport, just remember: you are the star. It's you. At least, you hope it is.

9. home ec.

Sewing! Cooking! ... Try not to burn the school down!

10. lab work

Frog dissections! Explosions!

11. school fair/festival

Every school has one of these. What's your class doing this year?

12. theater

Oh boy, oh boy, being the star of this play is your dream. It isn't? Oh. You're still helping with the props and costumes, right?

13. library

If you need to look something up or just want some peace and quiet, this is the place. Whatever you do, shh, people are trying to read.

14. bully

Whether they take the form of Nelson Muntz or Regina George, if you choose to meet them at the gym at four o' clock or else, be ready to face the consequences... or maybe you don't have to. Not when someone's here to help you out. (This can go either way - one of the participants can be the bully or someone helping the victim.)

15. tutor

You're having trouble with a class or you're trying to make up for the days you were absent. It's a good thing someone was nice enough to offer their assistance.

16. clubs

Assuming that you actually have one. Are you writing for the school paper? Part of the student council? The marching band? Maybe you're a member of one of those weird occult clubs or something...

17. prom

Do you have a dress? A date? Who are you voting for prom king? Is being on prom committee is driving you crazy? Do you even care?

18. graduation

Well, it was fun while it lasted. It's time to say those last words, settle those scores and get ready to grow up.

19. roll again/make your own scenario

( from here )

[ Claret is the new librarian in school. It was the only place in the school where she wouldn't disrupt classes by being too clumsy or anything. Need to get a book or any help? Claret is your gal! ]

[Brady's supposed to be working on a paper, but none of the books he's been looking at since he arrived have anything to do with the impact of imperialism on foreign cultures. They've all been books on science, in fact, mostly centering on biology - diseases, medicine, genetics, that sort of thing. He's actually skipped a class this way, table full of books and head buried in one or another, a pencil and notebook on a clear spot near him that he would occasionally jot down notes with. He looks pretty out of place here, with his thuggish demeanor, but hey, he hasn't caused any trouble yet.

It's after replacing some of the books he took out that he approaches the front desk, trying to find someone who doesn't look busy to help him find another book he's got an eye on. It's then that he spots the green-haired girl, a bit startled by the bold dye job (or at least, he's definitely assuming it's a dye job, because there's no way that kind of hair is natural) but shaking it off quick enough.] 'scuse me! [He's sure to keep his voice down, respecting the rules even as he leans over the counter a bit, trying to make sure he grabs her attention.] Hey, I need help findin' somethin'?

[ She was in the back picking up a stack of books when she heard the student calling out. It made her jump since most of the students did there best to keep to the regular Librarian helpers instead. She turned around to face him, almost dropping the books and awkwardly walks toward the front of the desk to greet him. ]

You want me to help? Really?

[ She sets the books down and quickly runs out from behind the desk. ]

I'd love to!

[ Of course her loud behavior gets some stares and a bunch of shushes. She flushes a bit and bows apologetically. ]

[And usually he's the loud one... He can't help looking a little awkward himself when she draws all the attention to them, rubbing the back of his neck, but he shakes it off quick enough.]

Er, yeah. I'm havin' trouble findin' this book -

[He's got the title and author, at least, so he holds it out on a slip of paper to her. His writing is also, thankfully, legible.] I kept lookin' in the section it was s'posed to be in and not findin' a thing.

[ She squints her eyes a little as she looks down at the paper. Then her face slowly heats up. ]

O-Oh dear... I think I might have seen this book earlier. Now where did I put it...

[ She frowns and runs off to the other side of the library. ]

[With how fast she runs off, Brady isn't quite sure if he's meant to follow her, or wait here until she comes back. Maybe she wasn't the right one to ask... He stays where he is for a few minutes, shifts uncomfortably under the attention of (non-existent) eyes before he finally moves to try and find her, following the direction she ran off in and looking between the stacks to try and make sure he doesn't miss her.]

Uh... miss? Ran like her heels were on fire or somethin'...
