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 -- that's a hint, and not a very subtle one, either. it's the same thing with her crossed arms, the surly expression on her face when she sits here alone, as if daring someone to come up and talk to her. there's a reason why she has no friends, and it's not because of anything other than the fact that katniss doesn't seem to want them. why peeta mellark of all people --
but. she remembers something that happened between them when they were younger. back when her father died and her mother slipped into depression that they could never in a million years afford medicines for, or therapy, or anything like that. she remembers peeta slipping her food, bread from her father's bakery, and she knows that in a way she owes peeta mellark. and that makes her uncomfortable.
she pauses for a moment, as if weighing the options, and then moves her tray off the tale. )
...But you can sit here, I guess. If you want.
no subject
she would rather katniss want company than feel the company is owed.
so, she hesitates before she takes a seat. she places her tray down. ]
I understand.
[ as much as she could, at least. she tried to be social, fit in. it wasn't hard. she was exactly what everyone wanted her to be. ]
Not just alone --
[ it isn't your business, peeta. ]
Lonely.
no subject
besides, why does peeta mellark suddenly think she can butt into her business? an owed debt or not, it causes a ripple of irritation to flit onto her face, suddenly more cold than blunt. perhaps -- harsher than she needed to be. )
You're wrong. Besides, it's not any of your business, anyway.
( and the question is there, implied: why do you care about me? )
no subject
[ It wasn't really her business, and she knew it, but she couldn't help but to speak her mind. Especially since she thought it was pretty harmless. She bites her bottom lip and looks down at her food. ]
If you'd prefer me to leave, I can.
[ Not that she wants to leave, no. She doesn't want to let Katniss sit by herself at the table. ]
You just -- no one should sit by their own self.
