TITLE: Broken Circles

AUTHOR: Her Guardian Angel

SUMMERY: Another Story focusing around the Breakfast Club and what happens Monday. Andy finally stands up to his Dad when he is forced to make a choice, Allison finally gets her parents to look at her and Claire finds out who her real friends are. Meanwhile, Brian learns that there is more to life than grades, and how to help his mother see this too, and John has a little sister that was taken by social services, now years later she shows at Shermer High School. Knowing me, our favorite detention kids will be OoC.

DISCLAIMER: This will be the only disclaimer, I own none of it except Benders little sister, and no, she isn't a Mary Sue… I think… OH! And I was reading some fanfiction earlier and noticed that part of my plot, which won't show up for a while, was EXTREAMLY similar to TWBasketcase's "The World through the Eyes of a Basket Case" So I just wanted to say that that isn't where the idea came from but it is an awesome idea. BTW TWBasketcase, I loved the story.

A/N: I write because I enjoy it, not because I am good at it, so if you could let me know how to improve this story I would be greatly pleased. Also, each chapter will be written in a different POV, including Bender's sister later on, and other characters I added for my own amusement.

Chapter 1
Andy

My alarm went off at four in the morning letting me know it was Monday; I looked out my window and could tell that it was going to be a beautiful day. With more energy than I had felt in a long time, I jumped out of bed and began my morning routine. During my run, I thought about school today; I didn't care what anyone thought, I was going to date Allison, and hell I would even hang out with Brian on occasion. I knew that hanging out with Claire wouldn't be an issue, but I would have to wait and see where things went with Bender.

When I got back to the house, Mom was up making breakfast in the kitchen and I didn't even think, I just let the smile come and kissed her on the cheek.

"Morning Mom." I reached around her and grabbed a piece of toast before heading upstairs to stretch out and shower. She dropped the spatula she had held in her hand and smiled softly, shocked at the sign of affection.

When I came back down for breakfast, Dad and Mom were sitting at the table eating. I jumped over the banister, slid into my chair and began to pile food onto my plate.

"Morning Pop." I grinned at my father.

Dad actually looked up from the newspaper he had been reading. "What has you in such a good mood? You aren't being distracted by some girl are you?"

"Aw come on Pop, can't I just be in a good mood? I know I'm going to kick ass on Saturday, and I found a solution to having that B in my math class." Both he and Mom looked at me as if I was nuts.

As I sat there eating my breakfast, I thought of the car that my parents had given as an encouragement to stay out of trouble on Sunday and I knew exactly who was getting a ride in it today.

"Hey Mom, What time is it?" I asked in between bites.

"Six O'clock, and don't talk with your mouth full!" She reprimanded.

"Sorry Mom," I apologized as I got up, "I need to make some phone calls, be right back."

Dad had gone back to his paper mumbling something about drugs under his breath. Walking over to the phone, I picked up our phonebook and quickly found Claire's number…

"Good morning, you have reached the Standish residence, this is Earl Standish." A male voice answered.

"Good morning sir, I apologize for calling so early but is Claire there?" I asked politely, "This is Andrew Clark."

"The wrestler?" Mr. Standish sounded pleased, "Hold on one moment."

"Claire darling, there is a young man on the phone for you!" I heard him call.

"Coming Daddy," Clair answered, "Do you know who it is?"

"Andrew Clark, sweets." Oh gag me please; this is worse than Bender's interpretation of Brian's home life.

"Andy!" Claire exclaimed into the phone causing me to pull my ear back.

"Hey Claire, look I was wondering if you were planning to keep the promise." I asked nervously.

"I… I don't know Andy; I mean my reputation would be at stake and…"

"And what about Bender?" My tone hardened, Bender was wild about her, and although I did not know where we stood, I was not going to sit by while Claire claimed his heart and then trampled it.

"What was the point of this call Andy?" Claire's voice went hard as well.

"I am giving The Breakfast Club a ride to school, but I won't give you a ride if you are not going to try to make this work." I told her, I was not sure if it was the greatest idea, but it was what I had to do.

"Sigh" I could almost see Claire closing her eyes and taking a deep breath. "When are you picking me up Andy?"

"Is a half hour long enough? I still have to call Brian, Allison and try to get a hold of Bender." I looked towards the entryway and saw my mother standing there with one of her eyebrows raised and a small smile on her face.

"I will see you in a half hour Andy," she replied. "Oh and Andy? I promise I will make this work, but you will have to back me up ok?"

"I promise to help you make this work Claire," I held up a finger to my mom in a 'one moment please' gesture. "Bye."

"Bye and thanks." I heard the click of the phone and hung up.

"Hey Mom." I nervously shifted from foot to foot.

"Was that Claire Standish?" She asked with a sly smile.

"Yeah, I want to give her and a couple others a ride to school this morning." I could not look her in the eyes. "I still need to call this girl Allison…" trailing off I took a deep breath and asked her something I knew I was going to regret. " Mom, can I bring Allison over for dinner tonight? I want her to meet you."

"Allison? Who is this Allison?" Mom was confused and now very intrigued.

"This girl who goes to Saturday detention for kicks, she studies and draws and stuff."

"Detention for kicks?" My mom looked skeptical but sighed, "No she can't come to dinner tonight, but how about Saturday after your match?"

"Thanks Mom." Grinning I kissed her on the cheek and then turned back to the phone. Next, I called Brian.

"Yeah," an agitated female answered.

"Good morning ma'am, is Brian there?" I was not sure what to expect.

"Who is this? Brian doesn't have time to dally around, he does time worthy stuff like study!" The woman almost yelled into the phone.

"Andy Clark, star wrestler?" I replied almost questioning. "I was just calling to see if he wanted a ride and if he was willing to tutor me in Math. It would look good on his applications."

"Pick him up before 6:45 or don't show up." The line went dead. Shrugging, I looked through the phone book and continued my search.

At 6:30 exactly, I knocked on Claire's door and her dad, or so I assumed, answered.

"Oh, you must be Andrew, come in." He smiled wide and stood back.

"I'm sorry sir, we are running late and have some more people to pick up, and we really can't be late to class." I looked past him and saw Claire running down the stairs. "Claire, hey sorry I am late, come on we gotta go, we have 15 minutes to pick up Brian or his mother will kill me."

Claire just smiled, kissed her father's cheek and ran out to the car; I opened the door and pushed forward the seat, letting her climb into the back. It only took us 10 minutes to get to Allison's house, which was surprisingly across the street from Brian's. They both came out of their houses like they were on fire, Brian waiting for Allison to get to the car before opening the door and letting her slide in next to me. I kissed her on the cheek and noticed that with the exception of her jacket, her entire wardrobe changed. She was wearing a shorter skirt that showed off her legs and a short sleeved teal shirt that was visible underneath my varsity sweater. Her hair was styled, but not held back by a hair band. I smiled and shook my head.

"Hey Brian, sorry if I caused issues with your mom." I looked at him with a sideways glance. "I figured that if we were gunna stay friends then we needed to show up together."

"Not a problem Andy," Brian was grinning like crazy. "I mean, yeah I got the Spanish inquisition, but it was cool 'cause you guys are keeping your promise to still talk to me and that's just so amazing and..."

"Brian, you're rambling again." Claire chided softly, with a smile on her face as Allison made an amused squeak. Brian blushed and looked at his lap before sighing and watching the road with a slight grin on his own face.

"Hey guys, keep a look out for Bender, his number wasn't listed in the phone book but there was an address so I am going to drive around and see if we can't pick his lazy ass up on the way to school." I looked at Claire and noticed her slightly panicked yet excited look. It didn't take long to find Bender walking along the street in his multiple layers of jackets, his red bandanna hanging off his shoe. Slowing down, Brian rolled down the window and I hollered, "Yo! Bender!" His head whipped around to the car and we couldn't help but notice Claire's earring in one of his own holes. "You going to get in or is the Breakfast Club going to be one short?"

A Little Over Four Pages, Not Bad For The First Chapter. I Will Attempt To Make All The Following Chapters This Long. Let Me Know What You Think.
