Allegra always thought that her life with school and at home was unsatisfying and unfair. Until she gets stuck in detention on a Saturday with a brain, an athlete, a basket-case, a princess, and a criminal. While being there, she starts to realize that not everyone is perfect in their own little way and doesn't have a life like everyone else does. Bender/OC Andy/Allison B/C

Dear Mr. Vernon,

We accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it is that we did wrong. What we did was wrong, but we think you're crazy to make us write an essay telling you who we think we are. What do you care? You see us as you want to see us in the simplest terms and the most convenient definitions.

You see us as a brain.

An athlete.

A basket-case.

A princess.

A suicidal wreck.

And a criminal.

Correct? That's the way we saw each other at seven o'clock this morning. We were brainwashed...
