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 )

[awareness]

What a coincidence.

[what dark alley are you leading him into btw]

[usagimodoki]

[ the sketchiest one, that leads out to... a shopping district. looks like it was a shortcut. ]

Not really. We go to the same school-- plus, you kind of stick out.

[awareness]

[good because he was getting worried and doubting his protag instincts.]

Hahaha. You're one to talk.

[he starts looking around curiously, trailing behind noiz a bit to keep a polite distance.]

[usagimodoki]

[ what protag instincts

he makes another turn, and another, and for a while, it seems like he's just walking around aimlessly. ]

You're pretty bad at this. [ being a senpai etc. ] Or are you curious? Want to see where I'm going?

[awareness]

I'm keeping an eye on you, as your elder.

[although he does want to know... since he just skipped out of detention like that.]

Um, is this really the right direction?

[usagimodoki]

It's only a few years difference.

[ he doesn't answer him, but in due time, noiz stops in front of a tiny store-- no signs, and the blinds cloak the windows.

tldr it looks shady as fuck

he heads in. ]

[awareness]

[a few years yields a lot of experience! in aoba's mind.

wow this is sketch. he hesitates at the entrance.]

W-Wait! Noiz!

[UGH okay he hurries after. hopefully he won't regret this.]

[usagimodoki]

[ the interior is surprisingly normal-- for a tattoo parlor. ]

How long are you going to follow me around for? You've got a lot of free time, huh...

[awareness]

[WHAT...]

It isn't like I don't have anything better to do... I have a part time job, but I was supposed to be in detention this afternoon. Um, why are we here?

[you're too young. he's going to spank you.]

[usagimodoki]

[ kinky. ]

To get a piercing.

[ true enough, it seems like they do piercings on the side, from noiz and the shopkeeper's discussion. ]

[awareness]

But - you already have so many!

[don't mind him looking scandalized in the background.]

[usagimodoki]

Exactly. One or two more won't be a problem.

[ ... he glances at him and smirks. ]

Want to stay and watch?

[awareness]

Won't it hurt?

[will he cry... should he stay and hold his hand? that's what a senpai would do.]

[usagimodoki]

Try it and you'll see for yourself. [ the only one crying will be aoba probably!!

STARTS STRIPPING HIS SHIRT OFF... ]

[awareness]

[AH]

No way. [he glances at noiz's bare chest and then away again... he's too awkward for this.] Why are you undressing?!

[usagimodoki]

...what are you getting all embarrassed for?

[ he points down at his navel, which looks distinctly ordinary. ]

For this. It's easier without a shirt on.

[awareness]

Obviously.

[aoba comes closer out of curiosity feigned as disapproval. (the tattoo artist working here is probably laughing at him.)]

It looks like it's going to hurt.

[usagimodoki]

[ snickering under his breath while prepping the needle, probably, yeah.

for what it's worth, noiz looks as unfazed as always. ]

Gonna hold my hand in case I cry? Or kiss it better? I don't mind, go ahead.

[awareness]

You're a brat.

[he can't believe a first year is so calm and composed. it makes him look bad.

... but still. there's no way this won't hurt.

......]

If you... really need to - you can just squeeze my hand.

[usagimodoki]

[ takes his hand and brushes his mouth against the back of it with a little squeeze. ]

Do you offer this kind of service to everyone, senpai?

[awareness]

W-What?

[he's so red and taken aback he doesn't even pull his hand free, but he's visibly squirming.]

It's not like that.

[the tattoo guy is tweeting about how gay they are.]

[usagimodoki]

[ he breathes out, a little huff of hair. hah. ]

It's not? [ he's not letting go of his hand, and the tattoo guy might be trying to sneak a picture. ] You really know how to make a guy feel special.

[awareness]

[he wants to pull away, but what if noiz really needs to squeeze it when the time comes? this situation is so distressing.]

It's not like I end up in places like this often, that's all.

[he's looking out for brats.]

[usagimodoki]

[ noiz solves aoba's problem by letting go of him himself, settling onto a high chair instead. ]

Goody two shoes, huh? You look like one.

[awareness]

[now he feels dumb for not doing it first.]

Oh yeah? How?
