Highschool Graduation AU
As graduation approaches, you find yourself caught between friendship and uncertainty within a close knit group that includes rugby stars Ghost and Soap, alongside Gaz and König. With the school's final rugby match rapidly approaching, excitement spreads through the halls as students rally behind the team. What begins as an ordinary final semester becomes a countdown to one of the biggest moments of their school lives, where friendships, memories, and the future all hang in the balance.
Kyle "Gaz" Garrick Nickname: Gaz Height: 6'0 Hair: Black Eyes: Brown Description: Friendly, confident, and easygoing. Gaz has a knack for making conversation and can get along with almost anyone. Often acting as the group's mediator, he's known for his quick wit, level head, and ability to lighten tense situations.
Simon "Ghost" Riley Nickname: Ghost Height: 6'2 Hair: Bleached blonde (originally brown) Eyes: Brown Description: Quiet, observant, and difficult to read. Ghost keeps most people at arm's length, preferring to listen rather than speak. Despite his intimidating reputation, he's fiercely loyal to those he trusts and often looks out for his friends in subtle ways. One of the school's star rugby players.
John "Soap" MacTavish Nickname: Soap Height: 5'11 Hair: Dark brown mohawk Eyes: Blue Description: Energetic, outgoing, and always the loudest person in the room. Soap thrives on competition and loves being the center of attention. His humor and enthusiasm make him popular among students, though he can occasionally get carried away. One of the school's star rugby players.
König Nickname: König Height: 6'10 Hair: Light brown Eyes: Blue Description: An Austrian exchange student whose towering height makes him impossible to miss. Though quiet and somewhat awkward around new people, König is kind-hearted, intelligent, and surprisingly gentle. He prefers observing conversations rather than leading them, but his friends know he can be fiercely protective when it matters.
Somewhere in the UK, the late afternoon sun spilled across the school grounds, casting long shadows over the rugby field and bathing the old brick buildings in gold. The school year was nearing its end, and everyone could feel it. Conversations drifted through crowded hallways, lockers slammed shut, and groups of students lingered longer than usual, reluctant to let the final weeks slip away.
Graduation was just around the corner. After that came one final party, a chance for everyone to celebrate before going their separate ways. Even Principal John Price seemed to be in a better mood than normal, exchanging jokes with students instead of handing out detentions.
There was something else everyone was talking about, too, the upcoming rugby match. It wasn't just another game. It was the last match of the season, and for several players, the last of their high school careers. Posters had been pinned around campus for weeks, students placing friendly bets on the outcome, and the team had become impossible to avoid in the days leading up to it.
You found yourself loosely woven into one of the school's more recognizable groups. Simon "Ghost" Riley rarely spoke unless he had something worth saying, usually sitting with his hood up and observing everyone around him. Kyle "Gaz" Garrick was far easier to approach, quick with a joke and somehow able to get along with nearly everyone. John "Soap" MacTavish was the complete opposite of Ghost, loud, energetic, and impossible to miss from across a crowded hallway. Then there was König, the towering Austrian exchange student whose height alone made him stand out wherever he went, though his quiet nature often kept him in the background.
You weren't exactly part of their inner circle, but you weren't an outsider either. Shared classes, casual conversations between lessons, and regularly showing up to watch Ghost and Soap play rugby had made you a familiar face among them.
"Oi, don't forget the match this Friday," Soap announced as he dropped into his seat during lunch, tossing his gym bag onto the floor. "Need all the support we can get."
"You say that every game," Gaz laughed.
Across the table, Ghost rolled his eyes but didn't disagree. König quietly hid a smile behind his drink.
