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. 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 ) |

[ That's innocent enough, right? Steve, the beloved quarterback, super nice, really involved in the school, gets straight As. Yeah, he's the kind of boy that male Taylor Swifts would write about-- he's football captain and I'm on the bleachers, etcetera.
It's almost annoying, how clean-cut, friendly, wholesome and American he is.
And guess what, Loki? He's left his group of adoring friends to come sit his lunch tray down right next to you.
Yeah, that's right, Mr. Peanut Butter and Jelly, branch of grapes and tall glass of milk himself is going to situate himself down right here and smile all megawatt and dentist office ad. ]
You're new, right?
whoops i wrote u a lot
while thor is off gallivanting (though he only does it a few days a week, sometimes opting to smother loki and eat lunch with him anyway) today loki is alone and judging the world and that's perfectly fine--in fact he prefers the silence to any inane attempts at sucking up or god forbid trying to become a friend. there's no one here loki has convinced himself he'd want to befriend anyway.
but of course, no one is ever content to just leave him alone. he barely restrains an eyeroll, looking up from his lunch with a slight sigh until he's face to face with--oh.
of course he knows who steve is, he's a good observer and he'd already gotten a crash course from thor's annoying new "friend" jane who everyone is. steven rogers is the golden boy, something loki thought he'd resent. he still does somewhat, only his resent is turned inwards on himself for being unable to find something rude to say in response to a genuinely honest, open and somewhat hopeful face.
steve rogers, as it turns out, is a truly nice person.
he swallows away any pre-loaded insults on the tip of his tongue, instead nodding and offering a momentary little half-smile of his own. there's something amused in his tone, but not mocking for a change. steve should be able to detect the slightest hint of an accent, though loki thinks his origins are fairly well-known even though it's only his second day.]
Loki. [he extends his hand, tilting his head a little to get a better look at steve and maybe not be so blinded with the smile. it's perfect and all.]
The pleasure is all mine. So kind of you to take it upon yourself to make the introduction. And certainly a little less daunting to adapt when there's a friendly, handsome face in the mix.
[time for a game of gay or just european???]
looks like it's tldr o clock
Loki.
[ He repeats it, trying it out. It sounds strange to him, not in an unpleasant way, just like something he'd never say, totally foreign, and he half wonders if he's saying it wrong. ]
Well Loki, I'm sorry we weren't more welcoming yesterday, but we'll try to help make you feel right at home.
[ He noticed that Loki is reserved. Most of Steve's friends had deemed him unapproachable, kind of scary, definitely way too tall and not friendly like Thor. Steve had left his first school from bullying. He'd been scrawny and loud and kids apparently couldn't deal with that, so he'd found himself in dumpsters and with his back against lockers, minus lunch money, and pushed down the stairs. People would put gum in his hair and throw paint on his clothes and pants him in the hallways. He's annoying, they said. He breathes. That was his crime.
He'd left for a few years to get homeschooled, and enrolled in a few self defense classes. Apparently that went real well for him, and when he transferred, everyone had loved him. Seriously. He was still loud about what he was before, except nobody calls him a teachers pet anymore, nobody would think of shoving him in a locker, and people actually want to be seen with him. It's so.... Shallow.
So he doesn't let them do that to Loki. He doesn't let that happen to anyone, which is why people love him a little less now. He makes the rest of the football team feel bad about beating up on that kid with the cane, and they'd completely ostracize Steve if not for the fact that he's a star player and he makes an excellent wingman at parties with cheerleaders.
No one deserves to go through all that, in Steve's not very humble opinion. And yes, he can totally see that Loki isn't exactly keen on meeting Steve, despite what he says. Honestly, whenever new people started walking over to Steve, they could probably smell the fear on him, do he gets it, gets it probably more than Loki knows. ]
Where is that, by the way? Home?
[ Steve's never been outside of the country, gets good grades in Spanish but wouldn't survive a day in a Spanish-speaking country without English. His accent is absolutely atrocious, the epitome of American, but his vocabulary is great and he understands grammar pretty well. He's tolerant of other cultures, super curious about them, but he's not much a traveler. He's in love with home, with an ideal America.
He'd go to wherever Loki's from, and he'd enjoy it, but he'd get a little homesick too. Yeah, the adjustment must be difficult. ]
