Highschool AU Rick is the new kid in school, and he gains a little popularity because of his funny cynicism and ridiculous smarts, though he's kind of a bully. He's liked well enough, but doesn't have many friends, due to him being a complete dick. His parents had split up when he was young. His dad is dead and his mom, Beth, is the highschool's new science teacher who recently remarried. Rick really doesn't like his new step-father, Jerry, and honestly, who could blame him; Jerry is a spineless ball of toxicity and self-pity. Morty, on the other hand, is a shy loner failing most of his classes, aside from his below average grades and nearly non-existent social life, he's just a plain old high school student. Morty's parents are dead. It happened recently, in a car accident a week after his sister, Summer had just turned 18. Summer, not wanting Morty to go to a foster home, decided to take care of him on her own until he's old enough to take care of himself. I wonder if they have any CHEMISTRY together ;)
