Disclaimer: Students belong to me...and my brother really, for all the help. Thanks bro. Unfortunately the rest doesn't. C'est la vie.
A/N: So, I've been meaning to write a High School AU of Dragon Age for a while and never knew how to start. Then a few days ago I read a ME High School AU called 'Students Ship Them' by Nny11 (Thank you so much for writing that!) - that you should all check out - and it clicked. I hope you all enjoy it. I'll label it was complete because I don't know how many will be there, but all Inquisitor characters will appear (as well as a few of the other games) and there will be quite a few ships.
Anyways, have a nice read (and comment!):
THE ECCENTRICITIES OF SKYHOLD HIGH
THIS SCHOOL IS FULL OF LUNATICS
This school is full of lunatics.
It was a mantra that resonated her in her mind every time she left a class. Amanda had been in Skyhold High for just four months now. It had been more than enough time, however, to figure out just how much NOT normal that school was. The teachers, although all clearly experienced in their fields, seemed to have a little world of their own, in which students were not allowed. That is not to say that they didn't try - which is what made the school even weirder. All students appeared to be focused on finding out what was going on in the teachers' lives behind class. There were students clubs with the purpose of talking about it and coming up with hypothesis.
"Did you see that?! He was totally going to call her 'Ellana'!" Amanda sighed as she looked back at her new 'friends'. Michelle was the one who had squealed.
"Totally! If it weren't for Deputy Josie clearing her throat, he would have!" Answered Adam. Amanda rolled her eyes.
The worst clubs were the ship ones. Yes, ships clubs. Many students were convinced that some of the teachers were romantic involved and they tried to find evidences. Everywhere.
"Oh please, Professor Rutherford has been teaching here for years, has he not? Is it not natural that he'd be on first name basis with Headmistress Lavellan?" Amanda said, as if it was obvious.
Her two friends looked at each other before putting each one arm around her shoulder, carrying her forward.
"My dear Amanda, you are new here," Adam started.
"Our dear Professor Cullen, like Professors Pentaghast, Blackwall and Le Fey and Deputy Montilyet, never break decorum...in front of the students." Finished Michelle with a 'have you not understood that yet' look.
"Ever." Adam affirmed with and grave air.
Amanda looked from one to the other. They were very serious about this. Just like the rest of the school. She sighed again. At least there weren't any disagreement over who liked whom. Everyone in school seemed to agree over which teachers were together and which were not. They argued only about which was the best couple. And nobody seemed to realize how ridiculous that was!
Not that the whole thing wasn't ridiculous, Amanda thought; after all, even with some of the teachers were together (which she was not sure of - maybe just Lavellan and Rutherford, they were kind of obvious - not that she'd tell anyone of that), why were the students so obsessed with it? Amanda was much more worried about passing her exams. Specially Physics and Theoretical Chemistry; Professor Le Fey and Morrigan made mean tests.
"Whatever you say guys, whatever you say." Amanda sighed again, just allowing them to direct her to the common room where the students should go between classes to compare notes and study - which meant they went there to talk about the teachers.
Amanda tried to tune out her friends as they discussed the encounter ('I love Josie, but did she have to interrupt him?!' 'Yeah, I mean, it would have been so cute! And I am sure he blushed when he realised he'd almost said her name!' 'You saw it too?! Me too! And what was that all about? Seriously, our headmistress going there just cus she 'needed that class report at that moment' 'Totally fake! She just wanted to see him!', etc, etc), tried being the key word. She forced herself to remember what Professor Cullen had taught them that class. A shout brought her attention back to her friends.
"Oh, I wanna be the one to tell everyone!" Adam said as he let go of her and rushed to the door ahead of them.
"Oh no, you don't!" Michelle yelled, and grabbing Amanda's hand started to run after him.
"He almost called her Ellana during class!" Adam shouted as soon as he entered the students common room, which was completely full at this time. And then Amanda grew deaf.
