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

Right.

[He grimaces a little bit at the thought of being cut from the team just because his GPA isn't on par, but rebounds quickly.]

My grades won't be slipping from here on out, no sir!

[Seto puts a hand on Bolin's shoulder and nods]

Good to hear! I'll do my best to support you. Hopefully between the two of us, it will be enough.

With your help, it'll definitely be enough. [Caught up in the enthusiasm, Bolin gives him a friendly punch to the shoulder in return.] And if you need help with anything, you've gotta let me know.

[He may not be school-smart, but Bolin knows he can be handy in some other ways.]

Let me play with Pabu. He's so cute! I'm jealous of you having such a cute pet. I wish our apartment had more room so we could keep pets. Although even if we could the pet fee is a bit steep as well.

[Seto is a bit of a disney princess when it comes to animals....]

[Lack of stuff because of steep fees and no space... He knows that feel, bro.]

You've got it! How about we tutor at my place? Then I won't fail math and you can play with Pabu.

[And surely Mako won't mind him having a friend over. This is an academic pursuit, after all.]

[Surely this is a recipe for getting things done and not screwing around! He nods vigorously, clapping his hands together]

Sounds good to me! As long as I'm able to leave in three hours for my job at the store!

[He's totally going to get things done! Maybe. He'll try.]

Of course!

[He fumbles around in his bag until he finds a pen and a scrap piece of paper, on which he scribbles the address to his apartment.]

We had morning practice today, so I'll be home right after school.

Perfect!

[tucks the paper away into his hoodie pocket]

It must be tiring though, starting your day with so much exercise.

It's alright. I don't mind the workout.

[There's clearly a condition coming after this.]

...But I also wouldn't mind sleeping in.

[takes off his backpack and starts going through it. Eventually he holds up a wrapped sandwich]

Get your energy back, you'll need it later.

[Though he is ever-hungry, he can't just take away his tutor's food. That's the total opposite of what he's trying to accomplish. He can practically hear Mako's lecture about how he already eats way too much and there's no need to take stuff from other people ~~anymore~~.]

No, no! I'm totally alright! You need your brain food, right?

I get free popcorn at the concession stand, it's fine.

You sure, bro?

[Popcorn ≠ Sandwich. Though both are indeed delicious.]

[pulls out a second sandwich]

I also have a spare.

[Color him impressed. He will take that sandwich, then.]

You are a smart guy. Guess that's why you're the tutor, huh?

More like the person who packs my lunch knows I'm liable to give half of it away.

No way, you always give away half of your lunch?

There's so many squirrels in the yard here. . .

Wow. If you're that generous with squirrels, I bet Pabu will start wishing you were his owner.

How could he when he has you?

Like his owner, Pabu appreciates a good meal.

[He pauses.]

Not that I don't feed him! Pabu's my best bud. I make sure he gets the finest food that we can manage.

But it's just you and your brother. So it's hard.

I'm lucky there's three of us!

We get by alright. Mako... He has it all together. I don't know what I'd do without him.

[It probably wouldn't be as hard if Mako would let Bolin work, but Mako's always been the I'll-take-care-of-it-myself guy. Bolin's job is supposed to be focusing on his schoolwork, which he would probably focus on more if it actually seemed like it was helping anyone.]

He probably feels the same about you.

I sure hope so.

[He's being light-hearted about it, but he really does hope that he's doing an okay job of having at least some of his life together.]

Do you have a brother, too?
