A/N: Hello everybody! How are you? I'm doing great! My name is Bambi and I'm very happy that you're here. Welcome back to another chapter of, "The Gossip Around Shermer". As always, I do not/ have not/ probably, nor will I ever own the rights to "The Breakfast Club" or any of its characters, themes, and subject matter. However, I do own Xia Hart. Now, onto this fairly short chapter. Enjoy!
Ch. 12 An X-Rated Claim
The six had regrouped and were sitting in a circle together. Bored and high out of their minds, they start asking each other questions. "Hey, Andy." Claire calls out to get his attention. "Yeah?" Andy acknowledges Claire's call. "What would you do for a million dollars?" Claire wonders. "What would I do for a million dollars?" Andy repeats. He takes a minute to think about his answer.
"As little as I had to do." Andy finishes his thought, as if it was the easiest answer in the world. "That's boring." Claire scoffs in disappointment. "Well what am I supposed to say?" Andy asked, annoyed. "You have to do something crazy. Like stretch your mind to the absolute limit. Uh, would you dive to school naked?" Claire explained. "Would I have to get out of the car?" Andy questioned. "Yeah." Claire nods. "Winter or spring?" Andy shoots.
"Spring." Claire replies. "Yeah." Andy accepts, earning him a slap on the arm from Xia. "Ow. It's a million dollars, sunshine. Course I'd do it." Andy attempted to calm her down. "I'd do it." Allison accepts. The group is staring at her questionably. "I'll do anything sexual. I don't need a million dollars to do it," Allison boldly admits. Andy, Claire, and John look on in shock. Poor Brian is red faced. Xia can't believe Allison would admit something so reputation destroying in front of her.
Was she considered trustworthy now? When did that happen? "Are you an escort?" Xia inquires. "No, she's a liar." Claire drops in. "I already have. I've done just about everything there is. Except for a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac." Allison confesses as jaws drop. "Do your parents know?" Brian asked, his voice riddled with concern. "I told my shrink." Allison replied. "And what did he do?" Xia asked.
"He nailed me." Allison proudly grins. "That's unprofessional and illegal. You're a teenager." Xia shouted. She felt bad for Allison and angry at herself for not wanting to write any of this down. This is the biggest piece of gossip she's ever gotten. It's straight from the source. Yet, the only thing Xia can think about is choking Allison's shrink for what he did to her.
"What he did can't be considered rape. I paid him." Allison points out as if that was any better. "He's an adult." Claire gasped. "Married too." Allison adds. "That's so gross." Claire cringes. "Seriously, you should report him." Xia suggested. "Are you crazy?" Claire asks Allison. "Clearly if she's banging her shrink." Andy scoffs. "Have you two ever done it?" Allison asked while she looked in Claire and Xia's direction.
"Done what?" Xia questioned with a raised eyebrow. "I've never been to a psychiatrist." Claire denies. "Have you two ever had sex?" Allison clarifies. "I already said I haven't. I have three asterisks to my name: being the daughter of a con artist, being hated, and being a gossip columnist. I'm not really looking to add to that." Xia explained. "I thought we covered this?" Claire asked. "You never answered." John replied.
"Well I'm not going to discuss my personal life with complete strangers." Claire tries to dismiss it. Things were starting to get uncomfortable. "It's a mind fuck, right? If you say no then you're a prude, if you say yes then you're a slut." Allison waxes. "Wrong." Claire shakes her head. "So you're a tease then." Allison infers. "She is a tease. All girls are." Andy laments. Xia turns to him offended.
"No, we're not." Xia fought back. "They're only teases if they get you hot." John explained. "Well let me ask you a few questions." Claire fires back. Allison's eyes widen and her body stiffens in what could only be read as nervousness. "I've already told you everything." Allison scoffs defensively. "Don't you think it's messed up to sleep around without being in love?" Claire asks, not letting up. "I don't screw for love and respect." Allison deflects.
"What's sex like?" Xia asked Allison curiously. She didn't really wanna know. She just wanted to make sure that Allison was being truthful. "I'll tell you-" John starts up before Xia cuts him off at the pass. "I'd like to hear from a female's perspective." Xia dismisses John. "Hold it! We're not talking about that. We're trying to see if Claire is a virgin." Brian gets everybody back on track.
"Yeah, answer the question, Claire." Andy urges. The guys demand Claire's answer over and over again, until a very frustrated and teary eyed Claire screeches at the top of her lungs, "NO! I'VE NEVER DONE IT!" Allison smirks at Claire's outburst. "I've never done it either. I'm not a nymphomaniac, I'm a compulsive liar." Allison reveals as the jaws in the room drop again. "YOU BITCH!" Claire screams.
