Hello Fizzle Force! Hello world! Today is the first day of the
Long Way Down blog tour! And boy, do Krista & Becca have so many wonderful things in store for you! Day 1 of the blog tour kicks off with the following stops:
In the Fizzle Force fandom, we're always so interested in the alternate universe because of the endless possibilities and outcomes. In this guest post, Krista & Becca fulfill one of those different possibilities by giving us a glimpse of the Addicted characters' life in an alternate universe.
The Addicted characters are vastly different. In an
alternate universe, we’re putting them in high school as teachers. Not all of
them have the necessary qualifications to be hired as a teacher—but in this
alternate universe they’d all end up with a job. Here’s what class they’d teach
and how their students would do.
LILY CALLOWAY
Lily graduated from Princeton with a degree in Economics.
School was a long, hard process for her that never really got any easier. As a
sex addict, she’d stay as far away from health class as she could get—not
wanting to constantly blush all day. She’d want to teach something
non-stressful and fun, so she’d pick Home Economics. She’s not the best cook,
so her lessons would be on the simple side, and she’d be all about the sewing
of pillows. Pillow week!!
Class: Home Economics
Outcome: It would be a highly sought after class, one that
fills up very quickly, since Lily
would have a reputation of giving mostly A’s. Plus, it’s Home Ec. And secretly,
Lily would be trying to spot the couples in the room, predicting who would get
with who by the end of the year. She would probably even try to slyly push them
together.
LOREN HALE
Loren Hale flunked out of college and spent most of prep
school in a state of apathy. A part of the reason he passed his classes was
because of his social status (his dad pulling strings). So it’s no surprise
that Loren Hale as teacher is…well, frightening to think about. The only class
he’d feel qualified to teach is health. He knows sex, and he would think he
could explain it in a pretty blunt manner, and he’d make sure everyone took the
concept of safe sex very, very seriously.
Class: Health
Outcome: Girls would try to get in his class because he’d be
great to stare at. The guys would be highly intimidated by him and Loren would
have a reputation of giving lots of detention for not paying attention or
screwing off.
DAISY CALLOWAY
Daisy
never really loved school, and she didn’t even consider going to college. Her
time in prep school was interrupted most months by modeling, so she never loved
one subject. Also, the most carefree of the Addicted gang would hate to have to
grade anyone on anything. But she’d be drawn to the Drama class. It’s lively and
fun and people wouldn’t have to sit in desks all day long.
Class: Drama
Outcome: Since Daisy has supermodel good looks, many guys
uninterested in Drama would opt to take it as their elective just to “flirt”
with her. She wouldn’t put up with it, and so she’d play favorites with all the
girls in the class. Overall, her class would be known for being one of the most
fun classes in the school.
RYKE MEADOWS
He graduated
from the University of Pennsylvania with a Journalism degree. He was a
well-rounded student in prep school with high grades and medals in Track &
Field. There would be a few classes Ryke would be interested in: Italian,
Spanish, American Literature, and PE. He would scratch off American Literature
because of the required reading for the state, wanting to choose his own books.
And he’d scratch off PE because he’d hate the social dynamics he’d have to
watch everyday in class.
Class: Italian & Spanish
Outcome: Most everyone would try to take his class for the
“f” bombs that he throws out at random moments. Ryke would get called to the
principal a lot and be reprimanded for his cursing. In the end, his students
would be too distracted by his swearing, good looks, and frustrated, impatient
scowls to learn much of anything. Ryke would be fed up with most of the
students and just be glad for the day to end.
ROSE CALLOWAY
Rose
loves school. She thrived there. She graduated from Princeton with a degree in
Economics and French, and she’s a certified genius. Narrowing down her class
would take hours. Her top 3 choices
would be British Literature, Home Economics (for the sewing) and French. In the
end, she’d choose with her heart and pick British Lit. It’s filled with her
favorites: Shakespeare, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, the Bronte sisters and
more.
Class: British Literature
Outcome: Her class would be known for being excruciatingly tough. The only students who would want
to get in her class are the ones who already love British Lit. Otherwise,
people would hate it. Failing students would be one of Roses specialties. She
would take no prisoners.
CONNOR COBALT
Connor
is also a certified genius. He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania
with degrees in Economics, International Studies, and Political Science. He
entered the Addicted series as Lily’s tutor, and his tutoring skills are
out-of-this-world. Naturally, he’d be a brilliant choice for Economics or US
Government. He’s also a polyglot, fluent in multiple languages including Spanish,
Italian, French, and German. His love for literature is endless, and he can
solve math equations faster than you can think. But in the end, he’d choose
World History. Because Connor values knowledge above most things.
Class: World History
Outcome:
It would be known for being difficult, but students would learn a lot in his
class and retain most of the information he taught. Connor would have a
reputation of being one of the best teachers in the school. The ambitious
students would pray to end up in his class because they end up doing amazingly
well on AP exams. His students would also feel inspired by to become History
majors in college.
I hope you enjoyed that as much as I did! November 20th will be here before we know it! Until then, be sure to follow the blog tour for more bonus material. Speaking of bonus material, stay tuned! There's also a giveaway at the end of this post!
