Hey! This is my second chapter.I have been quite busy with school (Four tests in two

days!) But I told my mom that I was taking a "break" so here I am working on this

chapter! Just a quick way that Breakfast Club helped my life. There is this boy in my

class that I have a major crush on and we have to write and essay in English on our

favorite movie. So I'm working on my essay and the guy is like "What are writing on?"

and I said, "The Breakfast Club," and he was like, "No way! That is what I am writing

about!" So then we had a thirty-minute discussion on what Breakfast Club character is

your favorite character and how it affects your personality (Our favorite characters are

both Bender!) I am so in love! OK, I sound like I am 10 and have a year round

subscription to Tiger Beat but it was a wonderful day! OK, on to the story and I will try

not to bore you with anymore of my incessant babbling.

When she heard the bell ring, Claire snapped to attention. She had missed the whole of

first period.

"Damn," she thought, "Just what I need, another detention of skipping school."

She dabbed her eyes off and did the best she could of wiping the black mascara

that had run down her face. After doing the best to reconstruct her perfect face, she ran to

her locker, pulled out her Trigonometry book, sprinted to the room (not an easy feat in

high-heeled boots) and slid into her seat just as the bell rang.



Dr. Calinton strode into the classroom a few second later.

"Today class..," he started and Claire zoned out.

A few rows and a few seats over, in the "geek" seats, she saw Brian, scribbling

notes on an already crowded piece of notebook paper.

"Funny," she thought, "I never remember him being in this class.I guess I never

noticed him."

"Miss Standish? Does that sound good to you?"

"Huh?" Claire asked, realizing she was daydreaming.

"Does the project sound fun to you?"

"Oh yes sir."

"Good then..I am going to pair you with.Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson you will

be partners with Miss Standish."

"Sorry girl," whispered Emily in her ear as she walked over to her partner, Brad

Kelly, who Emily had a crush on for years.

Claire warily gathered her books up and headed over to an empty desk near Brian.

"Hi Brian," she said.

"Claire," he said.

"So.what are we studying?" she asked.

"Trigonometry."

"No shit!"

"Tell me the truth..why are you being nice to me now? Is it because I am going

to be doing your project or because I am your friend?"

"You know the answer."

"No I don't."

"Gosh what is all of your problems..I already got chewed out by Allison today."



"Well I bet you deserved it."

"OK, you know what..today I am going to talk to all of you. If you see Allison,



Andy, or John, tell them that we are all meeting at the quad for lunch."



"What?"

"You heard me...If you all have such a problem with me being stuck up then I

won't be. I will hang out with you."



"You know what Claire. You are really a conceited bitch. You are doing this just

to show us. Trying to make us think you are a great person. That you deserve all the

clothes, friends, and money you get. You are not going to hang out with us because you

like us, you are hanging out to prove us wrong. But it's not going to work," Brian said

as the bell rang.

"Why aren't you getting on Andy's case..he is being just as conceited as me."

Brian just gathered up his books and walked out the door.

As Claire walked out into the hall, she walked past a large group of Andy's

jock friends.

"Yeah, I saw him..."



"With that loner freak..."



Claire started to walk faster..Loner freak? Could it be Alison...No. She made

her way to her locker and pulled out her literature book. Her next class was Study Hall

so she headed to the library. She laughed internally when she saw that the screw on the

door was still out and the door and to be stopped open. As she entered, Bernice waved

her over.

"Hey," she said, "So whatcha reading?"

"Catcher in the Rye," Claire said.

"So you like it?"

"Yeah.the guy in it somewhat reminds me of someone I know," Claire said,

referring to Bender.



"That is cool..I am re-reading The Scarlet Letter. It is my favorite book."

"Neato."

"So," Bernice said, fishing for things to say, "Did you hear about Andy?"

"No what?" Claire asked, her interest piqued.

"Well he and some girl..Ally..Amy."

"Alison?" asked Claire.

"Yeah..that was it..they are going out now!"

Claire just stared at Bernice in disbelief.

*OK, that is my lame attempt at a cliffhanger. I know that the people seem really harsh

to Claire about her ditching them but just think how you would feel if you unloaded all of

your life secrets on a person and then they just blew you off. Well please review and I

plan on about two or three more chapters in this story.*
