Waking up holding your breath

Monday came too soon for Claire she needed to think threw her thoughts about the Breakfast club more. She especially needed to think about John some more. Did she mean anything to him, or was she just another one of his considerations. Claire would find out today unfortunately, what would happen at school would everything go back to normal or would they stand together. "I wish I was more like John" she mumbled as she thought of what her friends would think if they saw her walk down the hall with a brain, a basket case, and the criminal John Bender.

Quickly getting out of her father's BMW to avoid his lies of how much he loved her, Claire slowly made her way up the front steps to Shermer high school. She scanned the huge crowd of students to see if John was there yet. She didn't see him, but saw Allison instead. Sneaking past her friends Claire made her way over to the school's resident basket case.

"Hey" Claire said as she tapped Allison on the shoulder. Allison squeaked and turned to see Claire. "Hi" Allison said shyly.

"Have you seen John yet?"

"No"

"Well okay thanks I guess I'll talk to you later, and if you want to know where Andy is, he's over near the front doors"

"Thanks" Allison said as she slowly made her way to where Andy was located.

"Where is he" Claire mumbled.

The whole day passed slower than she thought it ever would. She had talked to Brian, Andy, and Allison some more, but John was no where to be found. Her last period class was Geometry. The classroom was built to where you could see the whole football field. As Claire was lost in watching to see if anyone crossed the field she heard a piece of paper hit her desk. Looking down she saw a crumpled up piece of paper.

Claire looked out of the corner of her eye and saw Alise and Lauren her two 'friends', they motioned for her to open the note. So with a sigh she uncrumpled the paper and began to read.

Claire what are you doing, we saw you with that geek Brian and that basket case today. Are you trying to ruin your reputation? If you keep this up you'll never be able to hang out with us again.

Claire had never felt so angry in her life. How could they do that to her, some friends they are. Making sure the teacher had turned his back Claire flipped them a bird and looked back out the window at the football field.

When the bell finally rang Claire calmly left the classroom avoiding the harsh glares she got from Alise and Lauren.

Once outside she saw Brian talking to Andy and made her way over to the two.

"Hey guys how was your day"

"It was good, a little unexpected but good" Brian said.

"Mine wasn't so fun; I quit the wrestling team and had to deal with my coach's ranting for twenty minutes. But I got to hang with Allison which was good" Andy said as Allison walked up beside him.

Claire sighed and said "You guys haven't seen John anywhere have you"

The three shook there heads 'no'

"That's what I was afraid of"

"What are you afraid of, you know John maybe he just needed an extra day to think or something" Andy said.

"No, that's not it" Claire said in a daze.

"How do you know" Brian asked her.

"I don't know it just feels like some things wrong, like he's in trouble or something" Claire said in concern.

"Well why don't you call him and check" Andy said as they began the walk home.

"After hearing about John's father I don't think she'd want to" Allison said quietly.

Claire frowned as she felt more feelings run through her body.

"Don't worry Claire, John knows how to take care of himself you'll see" Andy said putting a reassuring hand on his friends shoulder.

"You're probably right" Claire said with false hope as she separated from the group and made her way to her house.
