I don't own anything here, except this trifle of an idea.
Claire Standish got ready for school like usual. Roll out of bed, shower, brush teeth, get dressed, style hair, do makeup, get backpack, jacket, go downstairs, eat breakfast. Only now she had something to look forward to during the school day. For the past two weeks, she had been hanging out with the Breakfast Club, just not publicly. It was just an understanding they had. No one hung out with each other during school, but after school, that was a whole other story. They all would go over to someone's house and watch movies, or tv, or just chat. They were comfortable with each other. Andy and Allison were together, as were Claire and John. Poor Brian sometimes felt like a fifth wheel, but they've been trying to find a girl for him that would be acceptable of everything and everyone. But today was special. Today was the talent show at school. John was playing with his band and Claire really wanted to see him play. Although, she was also dreading going to school. The Breakfast Club had a little fight with each other...
"So," said Allison, "is there ever going to be a time when we can all hang out together?"
Everyone looked at her.
"What?" she said, "I'm tired of not being allowed to be seen with my boyfriend."
"I'm kinda tired of not being able to be seen with you, either,' said Andy, hugging her.
"I still don't know," said Claire. "I mean, do we really think we're ready for this?"
"Why not?" said John. "Ashamed of me, or something?"
"Of course not! Why would you even say such a thing?"
"Well, you obviously don't want to be seen with any of us, with the exception of Sporto here, because he's acceptable." replied John, a little angry.
"It's not that I don't want to be seen with you!" said Claire, angrily standing up, "It's that I don't think any of us is ready to stand up to our other friends about this!!"
"I agree with Claire," said Andy. He stood up. "None of us is ready for that."
"Shut up, Sporto! What you mean is," said John, also standing up. "Is that you are too fucking afraid to stand up to your snobbish friends!"
"Fuck you!" said Claire.
"Now wait a minute here!" said Brian, who had previously stayed quiet. "Allison, John, and I are okay with this, but you guys aren't?"
"You don't know what it's like to be us!!" shouted Claire.
"Yeah?" said John. "Aren't you tired of faking to hate me, Claire? Or do you really hate me, deep down inside?"
"Of course I'm tired of faking!! But I've been faking all my life and I don't know what else to do!!" she said and she stormed out, leaving the rest alone...
She finished breakfast, hopped into her daddy's BMW, and went to school.
