I know it's been hectic and I haven't written in like Three months but with school being back in in a little over a week, things are starting to settle down around here. Anyways, I'm going to go ahead and continue. R&R please.

It had been an hour since lunch, meaning there was still four hours left of school. They were all exhausted by now but there was nothing any of them could do about it.
Brittany tapped her fingers against the table, humming to herself as she did so. Everyone was completely quiet until Alex spoke.
"Let's get this show on the road." He said. "What?" Brandon asked, turning around to see what he was talking about, only to see the smoke in his hands. "No way." Brandon said but Alex stood up, walking to the back of the room anyways. He heard a chair moving beside him and looked over, only to see Brittany standing up and following Alex.
"Britt no!" Brandon called but she wasn't listening. Bug glanced at the two, standing up and following them. Brandon sighed to himself, glancing back at Penelope.
Brittany sat down beside Alex as he lit his smoke, taking a hit and handing it to Brittany. "Here." He said. She took a puff, coughing softly and the two boys laughed. "Girls can't hold their smoke." Bug joked and Alex laughed.
Brandon and Penelope joined them and they all smoked.
Once they were finished, Bug turned on the radio. Brandon began to dance and the rest of the group began to dance as well. Brittany and Penelope flipped their hair and bounced around and the boys did a few dances as well.
After about twenty minutes of dancing, they were all tired out and they laid around the library tiredly.
They talked about random things until the results finally landed on Brittany's parents.
She didn't know what to say at first and then she did. "I mean, I don't think either one of them actually care about me, it's like they just use me to get back at each other." She explained. All the boys stared at her and then Penelope said "Ha!" Everyone turned to her, Alex and Bug angrily but Brandon had a small smirk on his face.
Penelope blew the hair out of her face when no one said anything and finally, Brittany spoke up. "Shut up." She said defensively.
"You're just feeling sorry for yourself." Brandon replied. "Yeah? Well, if I didn't nobody else would." Brittany shot back. "Awe, you're breaking my heart." Brandon said sarcastically.
"Sporto." Alex said and Brandon turned away from Brittany. "What?" He asked. "Do you get along with your parents?" Alex asked.
"Well, if I say yes I'm an idiot, right?" Brandon asked and Alex stepped closer to him. "You're an idiot anyway." Alex started. Brittany couldn't help but grin at this. "But if you say you get along with your parents, well, you're a liar too." He finished, walking away. Brandon followed him, shoving him from behind.
"You know something, man? If we weren't in school right now, I'd waste you." Brandon threatened. "Can you hear this?" Alex held his hand pointing down with his middle finger out. "You want me to turn it up?" He flipped his hand so that he was flipping Brandon off.
Bug came between them trying to split them up but Brandon hit Alex's hand and Bug's chest, although Bug completely ignored it, mumbling on about not liking his parents.
Brandon pushed him aside to walked past him and Bug mumbled a soft ow and then continued to blab about his parents.
"Bug, you are a parents dream, okay?" Alex asked, patting his arm and beginning to walk away. "Well, that's the problem." Bug spoke up. "Look, I could see you getting upset for them making you were these kind of clothes, but face it, you're an ultra dweeb. What would you being doing if you weren't out making yourself a better citizen?" Alex said.
"Why do you have to insult everyone?" Brandon asked. "I'm being honestly, I would expect you to know the different." Alex replied. He walked over to Brittany, standing in front of her. "So, tell me, are you a virgin?" He asked with a smirk.
"It is none of your business." Brittany replied, anger in her voice. "It is a simple question." Brandon agreed with a nod.
Brittany looked angry. "I'm not going to answer that." She said, crossing her arms. "Now you're too good to answer that?" Penelope asked. "Look at you, virgin mary." Brittany replied. "Just answer the question. Are you, or are you not, a virgin?" Alex asked.
Bug felt sorry for Brittany but he sighed, not saying anything. "I am, okay? I am!" She shouted angrily.
The room fell silent for a moment before Brandon spoke up. "See, that wasn't so bad." Brittany rolled her eyes.
They all found a spot on the floor and began to talk about what they did to get into detention. Brandon explained that he had hurt someone really badly by putting tape on their butt to make his father proud. Bug had brought a flare gun to school and Penelope was just there because she had nothing better to do. Brittany had skipped class and Alex was just a regular.
They began to do hidden talents. Once it was Brittany's turn, she hesitantly put her lipstick in her shirt, applying it on her lips without a flaw. Everyone had promised that they wouldn't laugh and surprisingly, they didn't. They all clapped and even once everyone else was finished, Alex still clapped. "Where'd you learn to do that?" Brandon asked. "Camp." Brittany replied with a smile, turning to Alex.
"That was great, Britt." He said in a mocking tone. She wiped her lipstick off, looking down. "My image of you is totally blown." He continued. "You're a jerk. Don't do that to her. You swore to god you wouldn't laugh." Penelope spoke. "Am I laughing?" He asked. "You prick." Brandon said angrily. Alex looked at him with a shocked expression. "What do you care what I think anyway?" Alex asked. "I don't even count, right? I could disapear whenever and it wouldn't make any difference. I may as well not even exist at this school, remember?" He added.
"And you, don't like me anyway." He looked to Brittany as he said this. Brittany felt tears pricking at her eyes but she fought them back. "You know, I have just as many feelings as you do and it hurts just as bad when somebody steps all over them." She pointed out.
"Don't you ever ever compare yourself to me, okay?" Alex replied. "You got everything and I got nothing." He continued. Brittany could hardly fight the tears anymore. "Freaking Repunzel, right? The school would probably shut down if you didn't show up. Queenie isn't here." He mocked.
She looked away blinking away some tears. "Hey Britt, nice earrings." He continued to mock. "Shut up." Her voice came out strained. "Are those real diamonds, Britt?" He asked. "Shut up." She said louder, shaking her head. "I bet they are." He continued.
"Did you work for the money for those earrings?" He asked. "Shut your mouth!" She said halfway through his sentence. "Or did your daddy buy those. I bet he bought those." Alex mocked. "Shut up!" Brittany exclaimed madly. "I bet those were a christmas gift, right? You know what I got for christmas this year? It was a better year at the dunkelman house. I got a cartan of cigarettes. My step dad grabbed me and said 'smoke up, Alex'. " He continued.
At this point, Brittany was really crying. "Go home and cry to your daddy, don't cry here, okay?" Alex said insensitively.
The room fell quiet and Brittany wiped her eyes.
"My god, are we going to be like our parents?" Brandon asked. Brittany shook her head. "Not me. Ever." She confirmed. Alex looked at her, nodding slightly. "It is unavoidable. It just happens." Penelope spoke up. Alex glanced at her before leaning his head back.
"What happens?" Brittany asked. "When you grow up, your heart dies." Penelope said. "Who cares?" Alex asked, uninterested. "I care." Penelope said.
Silence again. Brittany stood up, taking Penelope's hand. "Come with me." She spoke.
Penelope did what she was told and Brittany pulled out her make-up and her back-up outfit. Penelope threw on the outfit and came back out. Brittany smiled and nodded, beckoning her over. "Come here." Penelope nodded and Brittany began on her make-up. "Why are you being so nice to me?" Penelope asked. "Because you're letting me." She shrugged.
After about half an hour, she was finished. Brittany pushed Penelope out and Alex caught sight of her. A goofy grin met his face and he walked up to her. "Hey." He said and she smiled and waved. "You look great." He pointed out. "Thanks." She said softly and they continued to talk.
Brittany grinned, walking out and going beside Bug. "Cute isn't it?" She asked, looking at him. "Yeah, you did good." He replied. "Thanks." She said, looking at the clock.
Only fifteen more minutes until time to leave. She glanced back at Alex and Penelope and they were kissing so she decided to give them their space and went to find Brandon.
"Hey." She said when she spotted him, standing outside. "Hey." He replied. She looked him over before walking up to him and kissing him softly on the kiss. He kissed back, wrapping his arms around her waste. They pulled out of the kiss. "Why did you do that?" He asked. "I knew you wouldn't." She replied, kissing him again.
He smiled and kissed her back again and they parted. She took his hand, leading him back inside. She took out her earrings and walked up to an already happy Alex, placing them in his hands. "For you." She said with a smile, still holding Brandon's hand.
There was five minutes left and they decided it was time to write a note, so, they did.
"Dear Mr Pratt, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong. But we think you're crazy to make an essay telling you who we think we are. You see us as you want to see us - in the simplest terms, in the most convenient definitions. But what we found out is that each one of us is a brain..." Bug wrote.
"...And an athlete..." Wrote Brandon.
"...And a basket case..." Added Penelope.
"...A princess..." Brittany continued.
"...And a criminal..." Alex added lastly.
"Does that answer your question? Sincerely yours, the Breakfast Club." Bug finished.
I am so shocked with how long this took me to finish but I added parts and removed parts and put parts in different places to make it more of my own so here it is! Sign, seal, delivered. Tell me if you like it and thanks!
