Classmates' Reactions

The HSS classmates react to the MC and their actions

[alannarein]

Hi guys, been feeling a bit down and lost lately and then I saw this post by @hss-classmate-reactions yesterday and for some reason it really struck me and comforted me. I ended up drawing Wes’ and Ace’s scenario and I also have some rough sketches for Max and Ezra which I hope to finish and post. (I might even do Julian and Sakura cause I loved their scenario too)

Though I doubt anyone will see this…?

[hss-classmate-reactions]

These are so amazing! It makes me so happy that these could help people, and even inspire them to create art based on it. If you want to talk with someone, feel free to send me a message. I myself am feeling pretty low, but seeing this gave me a reason to feel good. Thank you so much 😊

Ahhh

So this was super long and so was the wait :(. I don't want to make excuses, but I'm really sorry. I've been so busy with new schooling and taking care of my mom I just haven't had much time. So about this prompt, I want to thank the person who suggested it. I feel like it may not be my absolute best as it's been so long since I last wrote or even played hss. I will 100% rewrite it if needed. I hope I understood what you wanted. Koh felt slightly off, but I've always had trouble writing her. Ace came off more romantic than I intended but oh well. Max is another difficult one, but I am always willing to try a different approach to certain peoples' prompts such as his if it didn't feel right. Sorry if it doesn't meet your standards, but let me know what you think so I can improve it for everyone.

The MC Disappearing

Prompt Idea: @grimdarkpixels Julian: He beats himself up over this. His visits to the gym are more frequent, trying to get rid of excess anger. What could he have done to keep them there? Why would they leave in the first place? Are they coming back? The next person to anger him is going to get an uppercut to the jaw. That person is almost the one who interrupts his workout one day. Julian's fist balled, he turns. Just as quick as he raised it, it flies back to his side, "You came back." Mia: She only goes through three of the stages of grief. The first day or so, Mia insists it's a sick joke and that the MC will have their ear chewed off for this. She combines the next two phases, using her temper to cover up how horrible she feels inside. She doesn't talk to anyone for weeks, and if they talk to her they get an earful. Unless they can bring the MC back, Mia doesn't want to hear it. Leaving cheer practice early, Mia walks towards her car. She sees someone sitting on the hood of her car, and Mia drops her bag. She runs and grabs their hands, pulling them into a hug. "How dare you! If I wasn't so happy, you'd be in for it!" But for now she's just relieved everything is the way it should be. Wes: He skips school for a bit. Wes is rumored to be scheming all over town, searching and asking around. Every dead end hurts him more, but no one could tell. After a sleepless night, he visits one last lead. Standing alone, the MC faces away from him. Wes walks quietly beside them. A sly smirk grows on his face. Staring at the sunrise together, he whispers "Just take me with you next time okay?" Payton: This is one of the rare occasions Payton doesn't dress up or wear much makeup or any at all to school. No parties are held while the MC is missing. Her eyes are puffy from days and nights spent sobbing into her pillow. The person who did so much for her has left, without so much as a word. Is it her fault? Could she have stopped them? The very thought puts her into another fit of crying. At first, she tried to put on a happy face for everyone. Eventually even that was too much for Payton. Someone managed to get Payton to come along shopping, one of the things she hadn't done since MC left. Browsing the racks, she recognized the bag with a keychain she had made for all her friends. "YOU'RE BACK! Oh my goodness." The end she mutters into the back of the MC. They turn and give her a hug back. She doesn't even wait for an explanation as she details all the things they are going to do now that the MC is back. Ezra: He still performs, but uses every chance to ask the crowd if they've seen the MC. Ezra passes on the info to Wes, trusting he will be successful. After one of his shows, he packs his things and sits slumped over on the stage. His head hangs, eyes closed. When he opens them, two feet stand in front of them. "Talk about a reunion show." The person laughs at their own joke. Ezra grabs them for a side hug, squeezing the MC just uncomfortably tight. "It's about time." Sakura: Just looking at her, no one would know she was upset. But Sakura was mad. Mad at the world for letting this happen. Mad at the MC for leaving her. Mad at herself for not stopping them. Nishan assures Sakura the probability of her being able to prevent it is small. She gets mad at him, but her body can't take much more anger. It all rushes out in a tantrum during lunch. With all the shouting and throwing things, you would've thought it was a war zone. After a session with the school counselor, Sakura grumbles into the hall. She bumps into someone by the lockers. "HEY WATCH I-" She cuts herself short. "That wasn't fair. You can't just leave." Nishan: As the days pass by, Nishan's grades begin to suffer. Many people would be happy with a low A or high B, but that's failure in his eyes. He's been so preoccupied trying to solve what was going on, he barely had time to study. The teachers noticed, and after a consultation Nishan mumbled an apology and promise to do better. He didn't understand. It was the one problem he couldn't solve. "Come on, dude. A B?? In math?" Nishan looked up at the voice. The MC held a tossed out homework sheet, shaking their head. "I- uh sorry. Maybe you can help me with some answers though." Nishan stuttered with wide eyes at his friend. Koh: This isn't anything new to Koh. She has pulled this same stunt herself. It does feel weird, since she wouldn't expect it from the MC. Normally they let everyone know what's going on. It isn't like them to just drop everything and disappear. Koh tries to give them space and let them work it out while everyone freaks out. She's pretty relieved when they show back at school the next day. "Come on, tell me when you go on adventures. I bet it would've been more fun with me." Ace: The MC and Ace weren't always on the best of terms, but it didn't mean he did not care now. Ace was convinced it was his fault. He was also convinced he was the only one who could fix it. The halls were filled with "Have You Seen Me?" posters and details to get in touch with Ace. He would never forgive himself if they were in trouble and he didn't stop it. Everyone noticed the bags under his eyes from nights spent thinking over every possibility. "It's not your fault." That voice shook Ace. He turned at his desk to see the MC , back where they belonged. Right here. Max: He didn't want to admit something bad might happen to the MC. He messed with them sure, but this was serious. What if they don't come back? Max pretended he didn't care. "Good riddance." But he always asked Mia if they were back. He tried to keep himself busy with practice, too afraid to think it might be his doing. Maybe he pushed them too far? After all, it's not like Max hates them. Mia came home, ecstatic. She smiled broadly, saying how the MC was finally back. Max grinned to himself relieved. "Whatever." Autumn: Everybody needs time alone sometimes. Right? That's what Autumn tried to tell herself. But days kept passing, and still no sign of the MC. What if something terrible happened? "No, we wouldn't allow it." Still Autumn sent voicemail after voicemail, staring at her phone. Soon, Autumn couldn't bring herself to finish a painting. She began to pack up when her phone dinged. A picture of the MC smiling in front of the school popped up on her phone.

So I've been gone forever... I can't express how bad I feel. I was so distracted with finals and a recent health problem. And I decided I probably will not include Kallie anymore, sadly. She is very difficult for me to write and the process will hopefully speed up now. I believe the last prompt was requested, but I forgot to write down who. If the person could message me so I could give them credit, it would be greatly appreciated!

Seeing the MC Crying

Julian: The second he notices the MC with tears, he clears the area for a private talk. He pulls them close and tight. Julian rubs the MC's back until he feels their breathing even out. He knows what it's like to not want to talk about an issue, so he lets them speak up whenever the are ready. Mia: Only someone as special as the MC gets to cry on the shoulder of Mia Warren. She holds them, trying to use her hug to keep away the bad like a shield. Mia lets a secret tear out. Only the best earn her crying, and the MC is one of the best in her book. Wes: "Hey, what's wrong?" A gentle hand reaches the MC's upper arm. Whether they answer or not, Wes holds the MC's hand. He squeezes it tighter if their condition worsens. Wes lets them cry it out, hoping they fall asleep and forget their troubles. At least for a little while. Payton: All of her plans are canceled when she learns the MC needs her help. Payton makes it her mission to turn this day around for them. Petting animals, watching their favorite movies, and soothing facials are just pieces of the day she has planned. Ezra: As a kid, his mom sang him a song to cheer him up. He teaches the MC all the words as 1) a way to take their mind of the pain and 2) a coping mechanism if he wasn't their next time. Before Ezra leaves, he gives them a tight hug, whispering the words under his breath. Sakura: Sure, she's the toughest teen right after Koh, but tears always feel personal for Sakura. Every champion has an off day, and it's better out with friends than in front of your enemies. Sakura offers advice, wanted or not, but the MC knows it just means she's trying to control a tough situation as best as she can. Nishan: He tries to pretend nothing is happening and treats the MC totally normal. When that doesn't work, Nishan tries to explain the science behind crying. The human factor of it is always what makes it difficult for him. Koh: This is a new one. Normally, Koh makes people cry, not trying to stop them from it. She doesn't know what to say except, "You need anything?" Koh tries to serve as more of a comforting shadow until she is thinks they feel a bit better. She has an appointment with whoever made them like that. Ace: Since he was a kid, Ace has been good at hiding his emotions and keeping a straight face. He sighs, disappointed he let his personal feelings get the best of him. The MC throws their arms over him, startling Ace. With their head buried in his shoulder, Ace cries for himself, quietly so no one can hear and hidden with the more obvious MC stealing others' gazes. Max: At first he thinks he did this to them. He apologizes casually, trying to keep it low key. Whether it was his fault or not, the MC continues to look upset. Sucking up his 'pride', Max rubs their back. He checks to make sure no one will see him in such a compromising position. That doesn't mean he does not care. Autumn: She doesn't say anything. Autumn kneels down, grabbing the MC's hand. She pulls a pen out of her pocket and starts doodling on their hand. Remembering from a while back, Autumn creates an intricate design of their favorite animal. When she finishes, Autumn just smiles lovingly.

[hss-classmate-reactions]

I'm actually the worst, and I'm so so so so so so so so so (add so a billion more times) sorry it has been so long. I don't want to make excuses. I'm really disappointed in myself and if I don't have the next one out by at least the 22nd, expect some sort of compensation for it.

The Classmates at a Party

Prompt Idea: @thehssoutcast

Julian: He’s one of the people that shows up with ten others who weren’t invited. All the fragile things have to be hidden before Julian decides to play catch with grandma’s old vase. Any damage caused is deeply regretted, and he promises to stay and help clean up the mess. The only problem is Julian thinks duct tape fixes anything… Mia: She likes to arrive perfectly on time, but resorts to saying, “I’m fashionably late.” Mia had cheer practice a half hour into the start of the party. As an apology to the host, she brings a perfect batch of cookies to serve. Mia socializes with everyone, charismatically making new connections. Wes: He has no shame about being late. The ‘beginning party crowd’ is a little too overwhelming. When he finally does show, Wes hangs out on the couch with a bag of chips that he claimed. The next morning, someone finds Wes snoozing behind the couch. Payton: This hardly needs to be said, but she of course is the host of the night. Whether it’s serving food or mingling with guests, Payton is the caffeine that keeps the party going. Ezra: He’s in charge of any and all music playing at the party. If it’s a themed party, there’s a perfectly designed playlist with matching songs. No one touches the speakers or phone without a written permission slip. Koh: She only shows up if she knows the party is gonna be crazy. Koh knows just how to take a party from crazy to all out insane. Everyone is having the time of their lives except the host. They have to clean up after Koh and her antics. Nishan: There’s always the group who goes to the party and sits amongst themselves. He is one of them. People watching teaches a person a lot about the world, and Nishan loves learning new things. Ace: Networking and more networking. Ace has a full digital checklist for everyone at the party of who he needs to talk to. He’s never with the same person for more than a few minutes. Max: He’s a mix of Koh and Julian. The party planning has to meet very specific requirements. If Max decides the party is worth his time, the host might hate him when it’s over. Everything off-limits is translated to ‘Please Mess with Me, Max!’ and he won’t apologize afterwards unless something means enough to him. Autumn: Autumn will stick with one person most of the night, generally the MC or whoever her closest friend is there. Having someone familiar makes something overwhelming much easier. As long as she gets to talk to a person she knows, the party will be good for Autumn. Sakura: As with most parties, bets and challenges are made. Even if not originally involved, she will run to the deal and get involved. On the slim chance she doesn’t win, rematches will take place until Sakura regains her reigning championship. Kallie: It might take a lot of convincing to get her to go the party. When she does, similar to Autumn, Kallie will stick with a close friend. Once the crowd dwindles down, her anxiety lowers and talks more comfortably.

[hss-classmate-reactions]

Studying with the MC

Julian: He continuously looks at what the MC is doing and tries to mimic it. Nothing seems to be helping him remember so the MC makes a game out of it. They set up three boxes with ‘A’, 'B’, and 'C’ written on the side. They tell Julian to throw a paper ball into the box with the correct answer. He finally understands the material and wants to study for hours. Mia: She likes to study in her own room, but the MC and Mia decide that might not work out. Her favorite thing to do to make it easier is talk and vent to whoever is around. Wes: Studying doesn’t fit onto the Daily Wes Routine™. Seeing the MC working so hard, he feels bad just sitting there doing nothing. The MC takes time out of their studying to teach Wes how to. Payton: She can study in bursts. After fifteen minutes of studying with the MC, Payton will reward herself with cute animal videos. Nothing is better in her opinion than working hard and then seeing puppies sneezing. Ezra: He likes to keep music on while studying. His playlist blares, distracting everyone but Ezra. The MC turns it off and tells Ezra to write a song about the quadratic formula and listen to that instead. It may seem lame at first, but this is the best studying he has ever done. Koh: If you think Wes doesn’t study, Koh takes it to a whole other level. She does everything in her power to stay away from textbooks and any learning material. When the MC asks her to study with them, she laughs hysterically and walks away, still laughing. Nishan: Koh would be disgusted with the amount of studying Nishan does. He cracks open his book and will outline it for hours until whoever runs the library says they are ten minutes past closing. Nishan genuinely enjoys studying and does his best to make it fun for others. Ace: Just like with most things, he will do whatever he has to to get what he thinks he deserves. Ace will drink energy drinks and use dozens of methods to make sure the material sticks. When the MC shows concern for his health after all those late nights, Ace just smiles and says, “You gotta do what you gotta do.” Autumn: Autumn is a tactile learner. She draws out pictures and asks the MC to show her to guess the concept or word. She also likes to set up scenarios and act them out with the MC. Sakura: She usually doesn’t study with other people, so it takes her a minute to get used to it. The MC helps out by making it something Sakura understands: competition. They turn all of the material into a study game and compete for points. Sakura decides to up the stakes; whoever loses has to buy dinner. Kallie:She is almost as big on studying as Nishan. They biggest difference is Kallie leans more towards learning words. She challenges the MC to use a 'big’ word in every sentence.

Apology

It has been awhile since I last posted. I've had serious writer's block and crazy personal issues. I'm going to try to post sometime this weekend. All prompt ideas are appreciated and encouraged. Another thing: I've seen some people requesting Ace and Max to be added to the list. Tell me if you want them or not. I most likely will include the two if I see more people requesting them, but I want to make sure.

[hss-classmate-reactions]

Thank You!!

I say this so much, and it probably annoys some of you. The response to this blog has brought me out of the three month low point I’ve been in. Seeing how happy people get reading these made me feel less numb, and I felt like I wasn’t worthless for the first time in years. I’m even a little less anxious during the day after reading comments in tags on my reactions. I love all of you so much and thank you all!

Going to a Concert with The MC

Julian: He grabs the MC and pushes through the crowd to the front. If they cannot see, Julian lifts them onto his shoulders. He dances enthusiastically whenever the time comes. Mia: She sings along to every song and jumps along. She grabs the MC’s hands and makes them dance with her. When Mia finally passes out from exhaustion, the MC must force her to leave and not sleep on the ground. Wes: He’s not much of a dancer, but he managed to obtain backstage passes. After the concert, he watches with a grin as the MC freaks out while meeting the artist(s). Wes overall enjoys concerts but quietly. Payton: She is even crazier than Mia. The upbeat songs have her dancing and jumping and singing along. The sad songs put her in tears within seconds. If Payton earns the chance to meet them, she hyperventilates slightly and had to be comforted by the MC. Ezra: He sings along to every part, including the guitar riffs and drum beats. When there is an instrument solo, Ezra mimes it out. On the ride home, he won’t stop singing his favorite song from the concert. Koh: She works her way up with the MC to the mosh pit area. This isn’t her first time in one, so Koh gives the MC tips on not getting trampled. But if someone does hurt them, she has to be pulled off by security. Nishan: This is all a little to public for him. The crowd is too wild, the music too loud, and aisles too narrow. When Nishan tries to walk out for refreshments, he trips over people. He’s also one of those people wearing ear plugs. Autumn: She gets pushed around by people trying to see. She doesn’t exactly care, but the MC doesn’t want to see her treated that way. Whether they stand up to people for Autumn or not, she feels and makes the MC a special one of a kind t-shirt with the artist logo on it. Sakura: She doesn’t understand why anyone would go to a concert when you can just listen to it online and see the performance on YouTube. By the end, Sakura nearly bursts the people’s eardrums if they are nearby with her excited screaming. She tries to find out if there is another concert they can go to right after. Kallie: She has only been to classical concerts with her parents, so huge crowds of screaming youth is new for her. The MC offers ear plugs, but Kallie wants the whole experience. It leaves her disoriented, so it may be some time before her next concert.

I will be posting a reaction tomorrow morning or maybe tonight. If anyone was wondering, I live in the Eastern Time Zone. When I say morning or night, it may not be the same as someone else, and I just want to clarify.

[hss-classmate-reactions]

MC Gets Injured

Prompt Idea: @carlotta-the-nerd-winters

Julian: He doesn’t exactly know what to do. When he gets hurt, he’s usually passed out and doesn’t remember how the medic treats him. Julian repeatedly asks what they want, and tries to provide it for the MC. Mia: She knows a thing or two about treating injuries from cheerleading. Mia won’t stop asking ‘how they are’ until she is sure they feel better. Wes: Wes isn’t exactly a fan of blood or any injury for that matter, so he hands bandages and such from around the corner with his eyes closed to the laughing MC. Payton: She freaks out, and patches the MC up almost too much. Payton babies them, not letting them stand up. The MC is convinced into resting on the couch while Payton checks on them every few minutes. Ezra: “People love scars.” He tries to make the MC laugh while the clean themselves up. “I guess I have some competition for ‘The Coolest Person on Campus’. I might have to throw myself down some stairs to even things out.” Koh: Even more than Mia, Koh knows how to treat an injury. Before the MC can even say ‘ow’, Koh pulls out bandages, a bottle of hydrogen peroxide, and OTC painkillers from her bag. The MC tries to thank her, but she just says, “Don’t mention it.” Nishan: He is a clumsy person, so he knows the quickest path to the clinic from any location. After Nishan greets the nurse and strikes up conversation, he remembers the MC. He makes sure they get the best treatment possible from Nurse Kendra. Autumn: She is convinced that it was her fault the MC got hurt, even when they insist it wasn’t. Autumn offers to let the MC hold her hand while they clean it in case it hurts. Sakura: At first she laughs, but then she realizes they are actually hurt and not being a baby. Her own form of worrying is expressed through Sakura lecturing them about being more careful and watching where they walk. Kallie: “You’ve gotten yourself into quite the conundrum.” She frowns when the MC winces as they dab at the wound. Kallie describes injuries she witnessed on Connor, making the MC feel weak for even feeling pain over this.

[hss-classmate-reactions]

So just some side notes on my last prompt. I have an alternate Koh reaction, but I am unsure what I should do with it. Also, Autumn's reaction means a lot to me as that is what my grandfather did when I was a child. He was a really important person, so I thought I should make a memorial to him somehow. Sorry for all the personal info, but I just wanted to share some things.

Clean ~ WesxMC Drabble

I read the prompt about HSS MCs reactions is the MC fell asleep on them written by @hss-classmate-reactions and saw @nolanknox comments in the tag so I am here to deliver. Enjoy :)

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

The pitter patter of something hitting the window caught your attention. Moving from the mirror, you pull back the curtain and your spirits fell. It had began raining, buckets pouring down out of nowhere.

There goes our date, you thought, biting your bottom lip. Sighing, you left the bathroom and headed into the lounge room where you had left Wes. You opened your mouth to tell him the change in weather when blankets, pillows, a bowl of popcorn and Wes crouching over by your DVD collection greeted you.

Hearing you come in, Wes glanced over, holding out ‘21 Jump Street’ in one hand and in the other ‘Alice In Wonderland.’ The Time Burton version of course.

“Which one you wanna watch first?” he asked and you blinked. “We can’t go out with it pouring like this. So Plan B.”

Lips twitched slightly into a smile. “Plan B huh?”

“Always got to have a back up plan,” he responded as you moved to the couch.

oOo

Sometime during the first Godfather movie, Wes noticed that you had fallen asleep. You were buried in his side, head resting on his shoulder and breathing out quietly.

Chuckling at the sight, he kissed your head, turned the TV off with the remote. As silence fell, he pulled you closer, threw his hoodie over his head and laid his head on top of yours.

The rain continued to pour down, lulling the two teens to sleep.

oOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo

Song: Clean by Taylor Swift.

MC Falls Asleep on Top of Them

Julian: He soon gets fidgety, but he doesn’t want to wake MC. Every few minutes he taps his fingers or shakes his leg. MC adjusts themselves, and Julian immediately jumps up to exert pent up energy. Mia: When she realizes that they are sleeping, Mia sighs at the MC. Like a caring mother, she brushes the hair out of their face. If anyone makes too much noise, they will be shushed to allow the MC much needed rest. Wes: He chuckles at the sight. Taking any opportunity to relax, he flips up his hood and closes his eyes. Wes puts his head on the MC’s and naps with them. Payton: She takes several selfies with the MC, sending them to the others. At some point, the MC snores softly. Payton awes at them until they wake up. Ezra: At first, he tries his best to free himself. But after seeing how peaceful MC is, he settles down. Ezra sticks earbuds in and taps his feet. Eventually, he lulls himself to sleep along with the MC. Koh: She scoffs and shoves the MC off. Koh has places to be and people to see. Nishan: The MC managed to trap Nishan in the most uncomfortable position possible. He manages to free one hand to grab his phone. Nishan of course doesn’t want to wake them, so he texts Julian to help him move them carefully. Autumn: She sits quietly for a moment before realizing she has been playing with their hair. They don’t seem to mind, so she continues to occupy herself with MC’s hair. If they have any tangles, she delicately takes it apart, strand by strand. Sakura: She takes this as an excuse to play something on her 3DS. If anyone tries to help her up, Sakura yell-whispers either, “Don’t wake them up!” or “You’re gonna mess me up!” Kallie: She fears any movement at all will wake them. For the entire duration of their nap, Kallie barely moves except to breathe. Once they wake up, the MC asks her why she is so stiff.

I'm so sorry I haven't posted. I've been very busy with personal life, but hopefully I can get the next reaction out by tomorrow night.
