-Bender-

I woke up feeling like crap. I haven't been able to sleep for the last week in a half. It's like that damn card was a constant alarm going off in my head saying are you going or are you not going to even bother. "I need an aspirin." I said to myself. Turning off the bed and edging on my slippers. I laughed. I started thinking what would the breakfast club say, John Bender in slippers.

Then I heard Rachelle call me by the nick name she gave me. "Ben? Ben!"

Hearing her calls through the house and an echo fallowing was now going to give me a migraine.

"Yes."

"Where are my shoe's I had the bag by the door and now they're gone."

"Check by the couch."

"I found them."

"Where were they?"

"By your suit case."

"Yea I know, but where next to the sofa and who found them?" I asked as a rhetorical question.

"I did." It came with a giggle through the hall.

Then I thought. She is always taking credit for things I do.

I walked down stairs to find her making herself a protein shake. She was looking very hot this morning. I had to remind myself all the time that she was smart. But I never had to remind myself that she was hot. I went around the counter, and started making my coffee. She could never make my coffee it was always too light.

"Are you sure you don't want one of my shakes."

I laughed and turned to look at her; I pulled my body against hers, and kissed her. "Yea I'll take a one of your shakes."

She pushed me back playfully. "Ben you know how I feel about sex this early. Gosh we just got up."

I let her go and grabbed the coffee pot, to pour myself a cup. "Ben I'm sorry; she was now leaning against my back. It's just uncomfortable you know."

I kissed her vaguely on the cheek.

"Dinner tonight?" I asked.

"Yeah 8:00 O'clock, Well I'm off to the office.

"Rain check on the shake for tonight?" She winked at me "Bye Ben."

I saw the clock it was 8:45 am and I didn't have to be at work till 10:00. I walked over to the window. I looked out to see the view. Los Angeles was a beautiful city. I really loved living here. I wonder where everyone else from the club lived.

I walked to my office; I hadn't gone in there since the night I got that stupid card. I didn't want to open that drawer and not find that card like it was all an illusion or find it and have it mock me.

I sat down on my leather chair and tugged on the handle and it opened. I looked in the drawer with fear. Why was I so afraid of it? It was now under the tiny black box with a gold strip, It held a gold engagement ring.

I felt my heart get tight. How did she always ruin something I thought was a great idea? Hell, what if she was wearing one herself. I now felt like I got hit by a truck.

I thought right there.

"Bender merry Rachelle and have the life you've always wanted. Don't go. She is probably still a snobby rich, Princess. "My Princess."

I felt my body shudder at the word in my thoughts. She isn't mine anymore and plus I have to see them, all of them there my friends, and yes Rachelle will come. The headache was going away.

-Allison-

Sarah was jumping on me, licking my face. Sarah was the best roommate and she was also my golden rechever. I had her for almost four years. I could never have a real person roommate; I would soon think they were strange and move out. So I had got my own place in Denver and I love the mountains. The snow in winter, it was a dream after I traveled.

I realized the world feels pretty small when you have no one there to bask in its entire phenomenon with. I have sketches from my travels hanging on my walls. I have had people offer me thousands of dollars for my painting of people in the Sistine Chapel; I stood there for a whole day capturing every mark in my painting. I also have pictures of me with people I will never forget.

I had neighbors a little far off and I had a couple of friends. Non that lived with me, my phone rang. "Hey Jo, breakfast yeah sure." I am going to take Sarah out for a walk then I will be right there.

I came back, letting Sarah off her leash. There were some messages on my pager from work well the life of a therapist is hard but I need a day off once in a while, I thought and then I grabbed my bag. I saw now it resembled the one I had in high school but was a little bit more modern with a clasp and pockets.

I was now laughing at myself, "Gosh Allison you are such a weirdo."

I got to Pete's Café. I loved this place it was awesome for our book club meetings. I got there and Abigail and Mindy and Jo short for Joanna were there.

Hey Guys I said walking from the counter, with my coffee.

"Hey Allison." Jo said smiling.

"Hey you all will never guess what I got last week." They were now all intrigued with my exciting news.

"What is it."

"I got my high school reunion card."

They all seemed excited for me to go, except for Jo. She knew my big falling out in high school and that Sporto was mixed in with it. I started getting questions from all ends.

"Are you going?"

"Yes. I think I am."

"What are you going to wear?" Now Mindy sounded like Claire for Prom.

I laughed and looked at Jo. She looked serious.

"What about Andy!" Jo said in a whisper. Mindy and Abigail were chatting about her scarf.

"I'm sure he will be there, I just really miss my old friends."

"Okay! You know I'll go with you if you want."

"Really oh yes Please Jo. It would mean a lot to have you there."

She smiled. Okay Ally we will plan later. We sat there for the next two hours talking. They were great but noting like my club friends.

Me and Jo got to my house and decided on a drive for my reunion. Jo sat with me discussing how she would intervene if I needed a rescue from unwanted conversations. I was never one to be the most verbal person. I was so happy she was going.

When she had left I went upstairs to look for some things I needed in the attic. I started looking through some old boxes. One marked memories duct tape like I never wanted to see what was in it ever again.

I took it down stairs and sat in my dining room. I had cut the tape open. I instantly started tearing up. The dust got me when I lifted the letters. I kept all of their letters we passed in class. I was such a pack rat why would anyone keep anything like this.

I had a quiz I passed Claire in independent study asking her who she would do it with, written in blue ink and her reply in black ink was written John Bender.

I had a black and silver switch blade and a combination lock and a beaver shot of some girl.

I stopped breathing for a moment. There it was a patch with the letters stitched into it. 'State Champion, The two little guys on the side wrestling.

Andrew Clark landed up being the number one wrestler of Shermer high school, until this day I never heard any news of different, he never lost a fight. I wonder if he still wrestles, I thought to myself.

I felt myself fill with anger think about his dad through the years telling him he shouldn't be with me. I am making him lose focus. But Andy never listened. I wished things would have turned out different. He's probably married with children of his own.

A week was a short time away and was coming sooner than any of us knew. I started crying. Ten years was a long time ago.

-Claire-

I was sitting in my office looking at some shots of girls for the front page of the magazine. I looked up and saw a man in a beige shirt with his name written on it carrying a dozen roses. All the girls in the office were now whispering to one another. Thank you I said grabbing the flowers.

The man smiled and turned out and left. I saw on the card Claire written in some unknown handwriting. I opened it and it said "this weekend me and you?" I looked up to see my boss Josh smiling I got so disgusted. I was drunk for our Christmas party and made out with him in the coat closet. But we just made out nothing special. I hated Tequila, and I had been upset. I saw Ken making out with Sharon in the hall. She was one of the best assistant I had, but I fired her later on when I found out she was trying to sabotage my career sending our info to another company under my name. It felt like she wanted my life. Ken had explained to me so many times he would never hurt me again. I was now wearing his giant diamond on my hand.

What's wrong with you Standish always befriending these stupid bitches? I thought. I guess the closer the day came to the reunion I really started thinking about things and the people in my life. I also seemed to get more fowl mouthed. I was smiling when I heard a knock on the door. "Claire?"

I saw Ken standing there looking at the flowers. "Where did those come from?"

"Oh." I stammered Josh was pretending to look at his computer.

He knew Ken would go and confront him. Not that neither of them would do anything but talk major shit to one another. But my life was very not confrontational. It wasn't right in my life of society. Not to mention I would probably get accused of cheating.

"There Lizzy's but her desk wasn't big enough to hold them so she didn't want them on the floor. She asked if she could put them here."

"Oh alright, I thought some guy was sending my Claire flowers. I can't have that." He said teasingly.

I walked around to my desk and wrapped my hands around his neck and pulled him in for a hug. Josh now smiling at me, he was such a pervert. I looked at him and cut the card behind Ken's head and threw it in the trash bin. Now he was now scowling at me.

"Lunch?" Ken said smiling.

"Yes! I have to tell you something."

We had went to the Bistro downtown, I told Ken my exciting news about my reunion. I didn't mention "him." I just said I had really great friends in high school. I was looking at the spaghetti when I looked up to see him checking out the waitress. I pretended I didn't see. I didn't want to argue with him in a restraint, again. And over something later he would make me feel like I imagined it all.

"So are coming with me to Chicago?"

Yeah, Hun sounds like fun."

"Ma'am can we get the check." I could see he wasn't sure what he just agreed to.

Okay now I was feeling really crappy today. I still hadn't figured on a picture for the fucking magazine neither. I wanted to go and shop.

I miss John. I thought, wow where the hell was this coming from? I was now feeling sad. I could remember his perfect bone structure my earring shining through his long hair, the smell of cigarettes on his breath. This was the first time I had given John so much thought in years.

Ken was chatting about something. I could never listen to his mindless babbling. He left kissing me on the cheek reassuring me he would see me later. He whistled for a cab and was gone into a mess of yellow cars.

I walked back into the office. Lizzy was looking very happy about a huge Boca of roses no planted on her tiny desk. "I heard you say they were mine."

"Oh yes keep them." I walked back to my office and shut the door all I really wanted was for today to be over.

-Andrew-

I was sitting in my office with one of my players. The phone rang; I held my finger up pausing the conversation. "Hello."

"Oh hey dad, I can't fly over this weekend I am really booked up, tell mom I said sorry." I hung up the phone after a mini pointless conversation.

I turned and looked at the boy who was waiting for my advice on his pitch "So just remember keep the pitch low and throw the strike will hit better"

"Thanks couch." The boy was turning to walk out when another one of my players walked in.

"Mr. Ulrich, come in please have a seat."

"Yeah Dork, sit where you belong on the bench." I heard Bronk say and I got mad.

"Mr. Bronk you'll do ball pick up tomorrow"

"No sir its fine" Ulrich protested.

Bronk was rolling his eyes. If I find out you pick on Ned you're going to have to deal with me indefinitely. He nodded and said "Yes sir."

"Now apologize."

"Sorry Ulrich"

He stared shocked. "Thanks."

"Hey Ned I wanted to make sure you keep that ankle wrapped." I said.

"Yeah I will coach. Thanks." His thanks sounded more sincere for something other than my concern for his ankle.

He did have a nerdy stance about him but this kid could play ball.

I walked out of the office, on my right I saw a girl with dark colors reading a book to large for anyone around here to not stare at her. She looked up. I swear I was looking at Allison. I smiled, she glared at me then looked back down to read another line. One of my players came from the side and quickly told me, "Later Coach." He grabbed the girl and kissed her walking down the hall. I waved and thought to myself, the irony.

More things reminded me lately as if time was rewinding back to high school. Clark you need a drink.

It was already getting late, I got home thinking Tracie would be there, I walked in the lights were off.

"Honey? Are you hear?"

On the fridge was a note; "Andrew, I'll be back later Carol had a awful day and wanted to go out. Don't wait up. I'll be back later there is some sandwich meat in the fridge. Love you." T with a heart around the first letter of her name.

I threw the letter on the floor, I was sitting in the dark kitchen. I was hungry but I didn't want another fucking sandwich, I had that from a parked truck outside of the field to feed the guys for lunch.

I'll go out I guess by myself. I took the keys off the counter and got to my nice car, the one I would only use for a night out with my fiancé. I wanted a meal, but I didn't want to go to a fancy restraint by myself, I was on the road when I saw a Diner. I walked in a bunch of people a few bikers having coffee.

The waitress walked up, "What can I get for ya darling?"

"I'll take a Pepsi and a Cheeseburger with fries. Thanks." I said smiling.

"Sure;" she said writing it down taking my menu.

The bell rang "Order Up!"

I was sent into a trance, the red checkered paper on the table reminded me of Ol'Rays Bowling Alley & Arcade. Where I spent a lot of time with the breakfast club. Allison always trying to beat me at the strike outs. Brian coming to the table with the best Pizza in town and Bender and Claire always caught up in to each other, or arguing. But not one person could deny they were so in love and it was real.

I always hoped people would look at me and Allison and think that. I wonder why she stopped talking to me and left never saying goodbye. Claire had told me Allison was gone. I ran to her house that day not letting Claire fully explain what Allison told her to tell me. Things I would want to know after time. I just found her gone; her mom not caring why she left? Where she'd gone to? Who she was with? Just said to me; I don't know where she went to but she'll be ok.

I felt my heart tear in two all over again. The waitress walked up with my food reminding me where I was. "Enjoy!" dropping the ketchup and mustard. I really felt alone. And I could say I have everything in my life that any person could be happy about. Family, friends, a Job, and a soon to be wife.

Then why did I feel so alone like I did my first year of college.

-Brian-

I was out to lunch with my daughter Ariel, she was only two, and her mom and I could never get along for long. Plus I think she just liked me for my money, I never married her. Me and her split after her constant hint toward marriage and when I mentioned prenups. She was out the door. I wasn't stupid. I was Brian Johnson. I could have punched myself in the arm for that one.

When she found out she was pregnant with my first child. I had to be there. So she still got money out of me in some way But it was never for her.

My mom hated that I didn't marry her. But she did love her granddaughter but would never cut me any slack when I talked to her or cut me any grief about my current situation.

I had a job I made more money than some people would make in a life time. My mom was never happy, But she was my mom, I loved her.

My daughter was perfection, and the only girl I truly loved.

"Dada. Cookie!"

"Yes sweet heart."

"My." She was reaching for it.

I handed it to her smiling; I was filled with so much joy. I wonder if any of my friends have kids.

"Okay my pretty girl."

"Oh she is beautiful." I heard from behind me.

A gorgeous woman in a white and teal dress was staring at me in awe. "Thanks." I got up ready to pack Ariel bag with her Sippy cup and her puff Cheetos.

The lady quickly got up and handed me a paper with her number on it. "If you ever need a babysitter or don't."

"Sure." I said looking at her with a smirk.

She turned walking away making sure I would remember her.

I was so slick with the ladies after I got my reputation. I had got my braces off a month after detention and started working out with Andy and getting high with Bender just a few times. I never failed my grades, and I had a blast in school for the next couple months, my summer and then my senior year was the best. I asked Rose Conner to prom. She had said yes. She was beautiful and really nice considering she hung out with Claire's bitchy friends.

I walked up to my car the driver opened the door and let me in. He was grabbing the bags and putting them in the trunk. He had got in, "Where to sir?"

"Judy's!"

Yes Sir."

We got to the front of the apartment building in Manhattan she lived a little always. As long as my daughter didn't mind the ride I would go for her very often.

I got to the apartment to find Judy and Nick in the kitchen. Nick seemed like a nice guy and Ariel really seemed to like him, that was all that mattered.

Judy and I were always civil with one another for her sake.

I put her down and kissed her. "Bye My baby girl daddy loves you. I'll see you in two weeks."

I said out load to myself; "Man I am going to miss her."

"Well if you want you can have her at the end of this week to make up for the week your gone."

"Yes thank you!" I hugged her.

"Wait." I looked down to see the ring on her finger.

"Oh that's why you're being nice"

She hit me on the arm. "Shut up, I'm always nice."

"Congrats Nick!"

"Thanks" he said sounding like he'd won some match.

"I am really happy for you two." Ariel wanted to be picked up, Nick had picked her up and she giggled but then lunged towards me.

"Bye dada, I- uh- I wuv you."

That was the best feeling in the world. "I love you to honey I'll be back before you know it."

I was walking out of the apartment then took a glance back she was now looking at the floor with her head in her mom's neck. "Bye Guys." I waved.

My cell phone rang when I hit the ground floor. It was some number I didn't know. "Hello!"

"Is Brian Johnson there?"

"This is he, may I ask who's calling?"

"Larry Lester."

"Oh damn, Larry!" Shit man."

"High school I remember. Wow, hey how did you get this number?"I said curiously.

"I called New York engineering and found your number listed. I asked for your number from your secretary."

"Oh wow that's awesome bro glad you looked me up."

"Did you get the Reunion card?"

"Yeah I did."

"Well I just wanted to call and see if you got it and if you're going."Now he sounded curious.

"Yeah I am."

"Hey do you know if Clark is going?" I was shocked at his question.

"I'm not sure, we kind of lost track of each other over the years."

"But I'll see you there, Man keep in touch. Bye nice talking to you."

"Yeah you to! Bye."

I hung up I wonder what that was about Larry calling out of the blue and asking for Andy. Andy had always tried apologizing to Larry. But Larry wouldn't give him the time of day. Until Andy asked me to give him a letter, I had but I never saw them talk. I knew Andy would never hurt or bully anyone ever again. He was my one of my best friend's, I trusted him.

This is crazy people calling me from school. It was like 1984 all over again. Except I was rich had a daughter and had no breakfast club. I got into the car and told the driver to take me home. I called my mom to tell her I was coming to town.

Somehow it felt like I was like going back in time. I can't wait to see my friends. I thought.

Summary of the new chapters: Sorry I know Brian's always cheery, but he has had a good life. Claire was right. He was the only one whose friends didn't mind and looked up to him for hanging around with the popular kids in different statures. Claire has always had drama with guys. John has an awesome life but somehow he was feeling like he had been thrown into a rollercoaster, was it fun or not? Will Andy ever look at himself from the outside?

A\N I won't be posting a new chapter until I get Review, So please leave one. Thank you for the followers and the favorites for this story. I worked hard on it. Hugs Anty~
