Do any of the ibvs characters do any specific classes? Like which language studies do they do or if they do any AP classes and whatnot. I know this may come up in the story, but I also know these teenagers are too busy dealing with supernatural threats to be talking about normal stuff like school.
honestly at this point it's a running joke that the story never addresses their classes. we know isaac and drew do french, chris and nevin do spanish (nevin is doing spanish because it's easy credit, go figure). everyone's obviously stuck in yearly typical requirements (y'know, math, english, science, etc). but here are my thoughts about it, liable to change if necessary:
• because cody is the Math Guy, I feel like he's doing a calculus class
• louis is probably one of those kids who has way too many AP classes
• isaac's doing art APs, but only because his parents talked him into it
• edward is probably doing one or two, I just have no idea what they should be. maybe a government class?
• barry's definitely in AP biology
• nevin wants to go to culinary school, so he's probably not wasting time on APs. I feel like drew hasn't signed up for any either. and chris hasn't, he's just trying to get through school
• I imagine niki being in too many as well. maybe not a louis amount but she's probably in government, psychology, maybe history
• I would bet that felix is also in government. because of course he is. maybe that's this picture (edward you fool, maybe you do share a class with him)
• characters I'm not sure about: dez, justin, stacy and everyone else
I have feelings about real life absurd high school workloads in the US and the expectations to do AP everything put on kids for no reason, but this is a funny story where classes and workloads are imaginary, so I won't get into it.

the portrayal of social anxiety in dear evan hansen always bothered because like. okay. so the initial misunderstanding is actually 100% believable, just straight-up what 15- or 16-year-old me would have done in a situation where i keep getting shut down when i try to speak up. just go quiet and go along with whatever's going on. and from that point on, i would actively avoid everyone involved in the situation as much as i possibly can. just escape, get away, not deal with it again. and now i have a permanent debuff of anxiety and guilt forever. if i was forced to talk to the murphys again, i would quickly clarify what was actually going on, because at that point there's no easy escape, and trying to create a lie is infinitely more stressful than fessing up, apologizing, and freeing myself of the situation.
but evan isn't me, so let's say for him, crafting an elaborate lie is somehow less stressful than telling the truth. okay, i can buy that. what fucking baffles me, though, is how much he seemingly gets into it without feeling any anxiety at all about this horrible stressful situation he's got himself in? to the point that he goes off his meds because he says he doesn't need them anymore? you would think that hinging your entire social life on an elaborate lie that could be exposed at any moment would be the most stressful thing imaginable for someone with "getting a little bit embarrassed in front of other people makes me actually literally want to die" disorder. but no, he's just fine now lol

other than extracurriculars and friends…school actually fucking sucks.
I was tired and didn’t go to school today. I got some rest, did laundry, and worked on missing work. There’s more to do but I feel relaxed and productive! I don’t feel as tired as I usually do after a day of school!
