high school au times

[c6h12o6]

Mostly because I'm surprised we've never had this kind of meme before. We love high school AUs. We love romance. Why not combine those into a glorious mix?

Your teen years are important, formatively speaking. You're trying to find out just where you belong and what kind of person you're going to be. This already daunting task is complicated by the soul-sucking demon known as high school. If you weren't having a hard time before coming here, you certainly are now.

Add into this mixture raging hormones, and baby, you've got a misery stew cooking. But it's not all bad! Sometimes high school crushes can be sweet, and the occasional high school relationship lasts.

So whether you're too cool or distracted for romance or always on to the next good looking stud, come on down and try to navigate the romantic labyrinth that is the halls of Bakerstreet High.

HOW TO PLAY

• Comment with your character and preferences. Needless to say, aging down and AUing is welcomed and probably necessary. Have fun with it! Feel free to include a short blurb about your character's Bakerstreet High self. Are they popular? The class clown? A drifter? A band geek?
• Comment to others.
• Use the RNG. Or not.

PROMPTS

1. childhood: You've known each other forever. Puberty has changed a couple of things, though.
2. friends to more: Best buds, right? Can you let a little crush get between you?
3. always there for you: You've seen the person you've liked for forever get hurt time and time again, always offering a shoulder to cry on. You should make your own move, unless you're content in the background forever.
4. bad boy/good girl: Or bad girl/good boy, or bad boy/good boy...there's a certain appeal.
5. the innocent: They're the delicate little pure flower of the school. Do you genuinely want to date them or is this a mission for corruption.
6. smitten puppy: You know the type. Always following the object of their adoration around. Don't you want to sweep them off their feet and show them there's other fish in the sea?
7. the ice queen/king: You have to defrost them.
8. 10 things: You were challenged to ask them out or bed them, but shit got real.
9. never noticed anyone before: You'll never be into all this love and sex stuff. Your classmates are crazy - wait, who's that? Your face is flushing. Why?
10. never noticed: This person's always been there for you. You feel silly that you've never noticed.
11. the unattainable: Is the school's hottest cheerleader or football player really all that high above you?
12. follow you until you love me: It's not stalking! You just happen to be in the same place as them...all the time.
13. hate at first sight: You hate their guts but you can't stay away.
14. sudden hottie: Were they always so bangin', or did taking off their glasses or pulling down their ponytail do that much?
15. too shy, too blind: you're too shy to tell them how you feel. you also don't see that they clearly feel the same.
16. kindness counts: They were kind to you, which is a pretty big deal in high school especially if you're an outcast, and you can't help nursing an even bigger crush.
17. sudden attraction: You're the kind who falls instantly and hard.
18. always on the move: You change crushes or dates like underwear. Maybe this one is the one, though.
19. nerd love: Both of you are social pariahs. At least you have each other.
20. into older people: He or she is the kind of teen who's so mature and always dating college students or even real adults. But you can change their mind about their peers, right?
21. differences in social classes: One of you is popular, the other so not. Can you make it work, or will the popular part be ashamed?
22. opposites attract: Sometimes, the weirdos get the hottest babes.
23. awkward confessions: You want to get your feelings out into the open - curse your voice cracking.
24. asking you out: You'll totally borrow your dad's car to take them to the movies. Or here, here's your letterman jacket. Go steady?
25. parents don't understand: Your parents want to keep you apart or are too tragically uncool.
26. dates: If you have to go dutch at McDonald's, it's sad. Maybe stay-at-home dates are better.
27. prom: Limos, tuxes, wasted money, oh my!
28. slow dance: The DJ popped in that best of the 90s love songs megamix CD. Now's your chance.
29. sadie hawkins: The Sadie Hawkins Dance. Get your khaki pants. Oh oh oh. Girls ask the guys. It's always a surprise.
30. sneaking out: The most romantic times are past curfew.
31. detention: As the Breakfast Club taught us, it's possible to find love in a hopeless place.
32. experimentation: It doesn't count if it's above the belt, right? And finger definitely don't count.
33. over the top: You're that couple that is always on the PDA or being schloopy and goopy romantic. Don't be that couple.
34. first kiss: Pucker up.
35. first time: Is it romantic and slow or in the back of someone's car?
36. drunk: Drunk confessions and attempts to make passes are ill-advised.
37. fight: High school couple fights can be deadly. Avoid at all costs
38. the volatile couple: Speaking of, there's always a couple that seems to be fighting 24/7? When they're hot, they're hot, when they're cold, they're glacial.
39. finally together: You're the will-they-won't-they of high school, and when you get together senior year, the whole class will give you a standing ovation because FINALLY.
40. long term couple: When did you guys get together? Probably like middle school or something. You've always been together.
41. hide who you are: Unfortunately, even these days some people make it necessary for those who don't conform to the "ideals" to hide their true selves.
42. break up: Statistically, it was bound to fail.
43. after graduation: Can you guys make it work after you lose the common ground of school? This can be challenging if you're going to be living in different places.

[Looks like a Bad Girl, is actually an Innocent. OTA!]

Clarice Ferguson | Marvel Comics

[blinkportal]

(What's the Innocent Bad Girl think of the Athletic Purple Girl?)

[sendthelightning]

[They could play basketball together? Or they could be in detention together because Makoto was late to school because she was helping a kitten stuck in a tree...]

[blinkportal]

[Both is good. They could be teammates on the basketball team, and now they're stuck in detention.]

This wasn't Clarice's first time in detention for tardiness, but it was seriously eating into her training time. She'd rather be at the gym shooting hoops and doing layup drills, but instead, she was in a classroom after school doing a whole lotta ... nothin'.

There were two upsides to this: her teammate Makoto was with her, and the teacher supervising the detention session was out in the hallway arguing on his phone. Marital problems, probably. So Clarice was leaned back in her chair with her legs propped on her desk, eyeing her taller friend.

"So... what're you in for?" The typical prison small talk.

[snuggling]

( i hope you don't mind an idol! are there any prompts that you're interested in so that we could mix and match them together if you're into that! )

[diamondworld]

(Don't mind at all! Sorry about the late reply, long work nights x__x)

(I'm reeeally flexible with scenarios, so there isn't anything in particular that I couldn't see myself rolling with. All of the scenarios here seem pretty fun, honestly. I'll just leave it to your preference~!)

[grimace]

[ it's not often izumi feels this kind of frustrated -- and certainly not at school, with everyone's curious gazes glued to his back. he's all about appearances, of course; it's one of the reasons he took interest in toma in the first place, shallow enough to take his looks into consideration first. they look good together, izumi thinks; toma is tall and handsome, with a pliable, friendly personality that... contrasts his own. he likes him, he thinks -- which is rare, for izumi.

there's still a lot they don't know about each other, sure -- but he's hardly keen on learning deepest secrets, and today, none of that matters, anyway.

today, he's grabbing toma by his collar and dragging him into an empty classroom, away from prying eyes. it's not exactly unusual for izumi to feel attention-starved and needy; usually, though, he knows better than to seek it in public. it's a particularly bad day, though, and he's lost his ability to care -- which is why he presses his lips against toma's as soon as the door is closed, huffing once they part. ]

You have some time now, right? [ read as: if you don't, make it. ]

[diamondworld]

Uwah-! hey..! [WOAH- what's happening??? Snapped out of his daydream, Toma stumbles just a bit at first as he suddenly finds himself yanked in the complete opposite direction of where he had been heading; dragged into a nearby classroom by none other than the exact person who had just been on his mind to begin with. An amazing coincidence... except not really, seeing as the very reason why Toma was so deeply immersed in thought was due to troubling whispers that were overheard about the popular idol being "in a bad mood" today. Toma has no idea what the source of that frustration is, of course, and that fact only made him more troubled. At the end of the day, Toma doesn't know a whole lot about Izumi at all.

His relationship with the other teen is a bit... ambiguous, after all. Are they really dating? Friends with benefits? Well, actually, it'd probably be more accurate to call it "just benefits" since you'd have to actually go through the step of 'friendship' before something like that can be declared. It'd be difficult to deny that a large majority of their interactions tended to rely mostly on their physical compatibility than anything else... That's why Toma had been trying to pull back just a bit and allow himself to learn more about who Izumi is as a person. That was the plan, anyway.]

Izum-Mmh!?

[But now Izumi is crushing their lips together and Toma makes a bewildered sound of surprise into it; the few papers which he had been carrying in his hands now scattered upon the floor. He's never seen the idol like this... it's so surprising that he doesn't even immediately register Izumi's question once the heated kiss is finally broken.] Huh? uh....

...I- I was... supposed to drop off some articles in the Newspaper club's room but... Are you alright?

You seriously surprised the hell out of me! [Now that his initial bewilderment has died down a bit, Toma is better able to go into full lecture-mode; brows furrowed in concern.] And not to mention, it was pretty reckless. You know that making a scene like that is bad, right? What if a teacher saw you- or those crazy fangirls of yours...

What prompts do you like best? ]

[ A supernatural school sounds good. Some combination of 32, maybe one of the dance/prom options, or some wildcard. Maybe 38 depending. ]
