The original friend group. Ace isn't the first person to betray Chloe, and even he would second guess outing her to her entire community (over a boy!)

3. taylor swift - bad blood

did you have to do this? // i was thinking that you could be trusted did you have to ruin what was shiny? // now it's all rusted did you have to hit me, where i'm weak? // baby, i couldn't breathe and rub it in so deep, salt in the wound like you're laughing right at me

oh, it's so sad to think about the good times, you and i

6. banks - change

never guilty //  say it ain't your fault because you had an emotionally abusive daddy and cause of this you don't know how to act poor, poor baby //  say you can't help the fact that you're so crazy and you're so good at making me feel guilty //  for trying to walk away cause i'm tired of being mad //  then you'd say // baby don’t go i didn't know //  i'll change, i swear //  i'll change, i swear

7. two door cinema club - handshake

9. chase atlantic - friends

all of your friends have been here for too long they must be waiting for you to move on girl, i'm not with it, i'm way too far gone // i'm not ready, eyes heavy now heart on your sleeve like you've never been loved running in circles, now look what you've done give you my word as you take it and run // wish you'd let me stay, i'm ready now

10. eminem & rihanna - love the way you lie pt. i & ii

maybe our relationship isn't as crazy as it seems maybe that's what happens when a tornado meets a volcano

even angels have their wicked schemes // and you take that to new extremes but you’ll always be my hero // even though you’ve lost your mind

just gonna stand there and watch me burn but that’s alright, because I like the way it hurts just gonna stand there and hear me cry but that’s alright, because I love the way you lie

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.

hope this doesn't cause some old insecurities to resurface

OH THEY KISSED

[hss-classmate-reactions]

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.
