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 ) |

[He knows this kid though, and not just from the file he'd had to read. He knows the attitude, the snark, the dismissing of authority of any kind. Hell, more or less he had been this kid. So his joke doesn't get the exasperated reaction of some white-collar counselor who got half their experience from a textbook, but the unimpressed look of somebody who had been there, done that and, indeed, even got the t-shirt.]
I wouldn't say fighting is necessarily a terrible thing on its own, but that depends on what you're fighting for. So, what was this one about?
[He knows, of course, but he wants to hear Kano's explanation for it.]
no subject
I think he was Joffrey and I was Sansa, unfortunately. But just like her I will put on my best face and be the future queen you all want me to be. So everything is alright now, Mr. D.
[He's not even trying, really. He's not trying to make his lie sound obnoxiously sincere, it just comes out automatically. He just wants to dodge the question and not talk about it. But these types are always stubborn, aren't they?]
no subject
[Probably not, considering he used the title for the TV series but he could hope. Otherwise the lie doesn't seem to have bothered him and he isn't about to back off. As much as he remembers wanting everybody to just call it quits and walk away, he now knew how bad that really would have been.]
It doesn't look like it turned out any better for you than it did for her. So, mind if I ask what your game plan is for the time you get into a fight with somebody bigger and stronger than you and there isn't a gym teacher nearby to pull him off you?
no subject
[sags in his seat dramatically and stays that way]
And just for your information, he threw the first word and the first punch. I'm really an innocent victim here, you know. The person you should worry about is that poor child Brutus, who can't take what he started. Maybe work on his anger management and his tendency to lash out at people for funsies.
no subject
[He leans forward, folding his hands on the desk.]
And the fact that you're still here talking about first punches shows that you're still missing out on a real important fact of real life.
no subject
I'm pretty sure I'm up to date on that lesson.
no subject
[If there was a hypocrisy fairy, it would be jumping up and down on Harry's shoulder right then but screw it. Nobody had bothered telling him the harsh truth when he was a kid.]
The fact is that in a few years there isn't going to be a guy in an office wanting to hear your side of the story. You're still in the part of your life where people are concerned about how you turn out and you're going to miss that one of these days.
no subject
Care about how I turn out? You just get paid to pretend, don't you? And didn't I already promise to put on my best face? What else can I do but that?
If I get beaten to death at a bar in three years, that's really not your problem. Maybe it'll be fun! What an obituary you can write from that!
no subject
Kid, I don't get paid nearly enough to pretend to give a damn.
And yeah, you're right, what you do in three years isn't really my problem but what you do right now is. And I'm pretty sure your dream in life isn't to get knifed in a bar fight right out of high school.
no subject
This would be a terrible place to be if you were a mind reader. Stuck around angsty and horny children all day who think they know anything.
Or maybe you are a mind reader and that's why you're so tense.
no subject
Maybe I am, let me give it a shot. You're thinking I don't have a clue what I'm talking about, and that I don't have any idea about where you've been or what you've been through. Right now, you're waiting for me to get annoyed and send you out of here so you can go back to what you're doing because, after all, people like you don't actually amount to anything so there's no point in trying.
How'd I do?
no subject
[Starts shifting in his seat uncomfortably though, not liking the conversation being turned back on topic like this. Why is this guy so stubborn when I don't want to do this]
no subject
Yeah, I know. Because of your adopted family, right?
no subject
There we go, found the problem. Prolonged interaction with him as a child has infected me with instability. It's contagious, like chicken pox!
