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 )

[Okay, this time, Brady can't help his interest. There's a story there, and it's not like Mr. DeWitt can't just shut Brady down if he doesn't want to elaborate. He's the teacher here, after all. He shifts again, moving to rest his arms on top of his desk now, his chin balanced on them as he watches the other.]

That so? Ya got a record or somethin'?

[thevariable]

More than whatever's stirrin' in that head o'yours. [Pointing with a quick finger in the other's direction, there's a ghost of a devil in his smile when he flashes it. Part of him's amused by it, the other's ashamed, and whatever's proud of it is buried underneath. He raises a brow to the visible curiosity.] Things I did aren't something you wanna talk about on school grounds.

Believe me, kid.

[violentrondo]

[Brady gives a grin back, an amused expression. He's not quite sure if Mr. DeWitt's serious about his claim - he's pretty sure people with serious rap sheets can't teach, and it might be just him trying to mess with Brady. Or exaggerating the things he did get up to. Either way.

Still, there is something to that smile...]

I'm shakin' in my boots already. [He wiggles his fingers in a mock gesture, then shrugs his shoulders.] So cleansin' yer immortal soul by makin' sure the kiddies don't do the same, or what?

[thevariable]

[He speaks honesty where it's needed, but those words aren't too far of a stretch from the truth. Hopefully Brady never figures that out, even when he's out of this place. God knows no one needs that on their mind. Keeping his face, barely above sincerity but below a bluff when he snorts at the comment, shakes his head.]

God be with the poor sap who tries to 'cleanse' me. [He gets a hand in his hair, shakes his head.] Second part's fair enough, though. Knowing's half the battle, right?
