Class of '04

Summary:

Imagine this: a school full of musicians of all genres in the year 2004. They get up into all sorts of typical teenage shenanigans, such as forming friendships, getting crushes, fighting, and whatever my little noggin can come up with.

Are you feeling overwhelmed from all the fandoms listed? Girl, me too. That’s why I chose to use minimal other tags for this. Neither did I add characters… but I promise I will not disappoint. All the fandoms WILL get mentioned as much as possible (when I get to it, of course). Oh man, will my profile be FLOODED with fandoms…

(I also wanna say that a couple of these chapters are on the heavier side, but nothing too serious. TWs are in those chapters just in case.)

Notes:

Every student listed is a senior, but honestly, it doesn't matter all that much. All the teachers/other people are the age they are now, if not a little younger. Don’t think about how these people are from completely different era’s of music. Sometimes it's good to just let go and have some harmless fun. Also also, every chapter will have a different narrator, which will be labeled in the chapter name.

If you feel frustrated by ANYTHING that ticks you off in in here, then by all means, you don't need to read this. Or you can leave a critique in the comments. That's not meant to be a 'fuck you', I completely understand if you don't like what you see. Just... maybe come back in a year or so to see if anything's changed. Cheers!
