p r o m p t
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.

( sometimes, he wonders why he'd signed up for this class in the first place; it had sounded fun! and that had had a lot to do with it but he might not have stopped long enough to think about what he would get out of it in the long run, especially when he's the sort of boy that barely knows how to boil water without setting something on fire, which. he might have done a time or two when he was a lot younger, and there might still be scorch marks on the stove in his mom's kitchen, and she might still not trust him enough to leave him alone when he wants to try making something for himself.

this is what microwave mac and cheese is for, honestly. and despite his penchant for eating two or three of those little styrofoam cups in one sitting, they're perfect.

now, they've been in this class for … oh, a couple of months now, and covered some of the basics about wholesome cooking — always includes a vegetable or two, moderate carbs and starches and always, always have a protein and healthy fats! — but they've now begun to venture into the territory known as baking, which means one ( 1 ) zack fair is about to get thirty times more interested.

today, they're working on making a pie crust from scratch, with their choice of fruit to fill it; he's always been a fan of apple, but cherry is also delicious, and blackberry? it's his favorite for when he wants to walk around with a purple tongue for most of the day. the issue here is that they haven't even made it into the dough part of the whole thing, having been stalemated during the flour-sifting process and somehow misplaced a whole handful of their measuring tools.

this is definitely a recipe for disaster. you're welcome for that. ) I don't suppose you've found the measuring cup, have you?
