Allison

After we talked and they laughed with me about only coming here today for Alex, we had our own little dance party. It was pretty fun actually, which surprised me. I've only danced to Alex's music and when I was little. It seams that our conversation helped everyone open up and connect with each other. Brian and Claire danced together for a little while, same with Alex and Bender, at different times of course, but still. Myself, Bender, and Alex danced together on the bookshelf, then the boys, then us girls. A smile was firmly placed on all our faces. It's strange how after such serious conversations we can just fool around like this. Soon our party came to an end and Bender left, but not before kissing Alex quickly, which left her blushing. After that we had nothing better to do so we all just sat on the railing, well, except Alex. She sat on the table across from us, a perfect view from where Bender had left. God, she's like a love sick puppy. I sat between Andy and Claire, beside Claire was Brian and they were holding hands. Oh god, gag me.

"Brian?" Claire asked.

"Hm?" he looked to her face rather than the hand holding his.

"Are you going to write your paper?" she asked.

Brian nodded. "Ya, why?"

Claire smiled. "Well, it's kind of a waste for all of us to write our paper, don't you think?"

"Well, that's was Vernon wants us to do," Brian said as I felt eyes to my right. Andy was staring at me.

I turned to look at him as Claire spoke. "True, but, I kinda think we'd all say the same thing." Andy turned as soon as his eyes locked with mine for a split second.

"You just don't wanna write your paper. Right?" I could hear the smirk in his voice.

Claire nodded. "True, but," she glanced at the rest of us. "Well, your the smartest right?" Brian smiled and happily took the compliment. "We trust you."

Brian looked at us. We all nodded, Andy muttering a 'ya', before I felt his eyes on me again. "Alright." Brian said. "I'll do it."

Claire smiled and kissed him on the cheek, "Great." Her eyes then shifted to me. We looked at one another before she smiled and tugged on my shirt. "Come on." she said.

"Where are we going?" I asked.

Alex laughed as Claire jumped down. "Juzt come on Allison. I'll be zere to make sure Prinzessin doesn't kill you," she said teasingly. I sighed and jumped down. And I wish I hadn't because Claire and Alex decided to play Barbie doll with me. 'Your people lessonz are done.' Alex said. Ya, sure they were. And because of that they're playing Barbie. They changed my clothes, and pulled my hair back.

Now Claire was applying brown eyeliner to my eyes, I hate it when other people try to do my makeup. "Don't be afraid." Claire said mockingly.

"Don't stick that in my eye," I said a little freaked.

"I'm not sticking it, just close- just go like that." Claire demonstrated by closing her eyes, keeping her eyebrows raised, and her mouth open. I repeated the motion while Claire muttered, "Good," before continuing. "You know you really do look better without all that black shit on your eyes."

"Hey," I said. "I like that black shit."

"Zis lookz a lot better," Alex said as she substituted Claire to put on the mascara.

Claire then moved in to brush my eyebrows. "Please," I said to Alex's comment. I then looked to Claire, which wasn't hard because she was right there. "Why are you being so nice to me?"

"Cause your letting me," Claire said with a smile. She put the brush away. "All done."

Alex smiled and kissed me on the cheek, "Gotta go. Bye." She then left to see Bender followed by Claire who sat besides Brian reading over his shoulder.

I peaked outside the room. Okay, I can do this. I just have to ... remember what Alex told me before about staying clam. I released a breath and then stepped outside. Andy, who sat directly across from the room on the railing, looked up at me with wide eyes. I bit my lip and walked down the ramp, keeping my eyes locked with his as he jumped down and walked towards me. Claire smiled and nudged Brian to look up. He did and stared at me wide eyed. He smiled apparently thinking that I looked nice. I smiled back. "Thank you," I said softly to both of them before continuing to walk towards Andy.

"What happened to you?" he asked.

"Why? Claire and Alex did it," I said. I didn't want him to hate me because of what they did. God, I like him. I better not turn into a love sick puppy like Alex. Andy just kept staring at me. "What's wrong?" I asked.

"Nothings wrong," he said. "It's just, you look so different. I can see your face."

"Is that good or bad?" I asked.

Andy smiled. "It's good," he said softly making me smile back.

John

I looked up when I heard the door open. I thought it was going to be Vernon, but it was Aleksandra smiling at me. She closed the door behind herself and leaned against it. "You lost?" I asked her with a smirk.

Aleksandra smiled. "Maybe, I'm trying to find zis guy I like. But it zeems he keepz getting himzelf into trouble for me."

I chuckled watching as she walked towards me. "What's he look like?" I ask.

A blush came across her face as she said, "He 'az longizh brown hair. Gorgeous brown eyez. He lookz like your average tough guy, only better."

I smirked, "Really now?" She walked between my legs and I wrapped my arms around her pulling her closer. "So what would he say if I kissed you?"

She laughed. "Don't know, let'z find out." She leaned forward and kissed me. I didn't expect her to kiss me, but I gladly accepted the kiss. I felt her smirk against my lips, oh you little bitch. She pulled back. "Hmm, I guezz he'z not gonna do anyzing," she joked.

"Oh I'm gonna do something," I said before tickling her sides. Laughter erupted from her form making me laugh myself. We didn't care if Vernon caught us, this was just for us this moment; it was something that we might not have later.

"Nien, nein nein." She laughed tears prickling her eyes. "Stoppen Sie es John! Stoppen Sie es!" Even though I can't speak German, I can sure as hell tell what she's saying.

"No chance, doll," I said continuing to tickle her. Her laughter grew until I couldn't take it anymore and began kissing her. Her laughter calmed down throughout the kiss. Damn she sure can kiss! She pulled away and kissed my neck making me shiver at the feeling. Girls had kissed my neck before, but never in the way that she did. She pulled back and smiled to me. "Why'd you do that?" I asked her, running my hand through her hair.

She shrugged. "To let you know zat you can," she said softly before doing it again. I pulled her back and did it to her letting the hand in her hair fall down to behind her neck.

When I pulled back to survey the dark blue-purple hickey I gave her she was bitting her bottom lip with her eyes closed. "Now that's hot," I told her. She opened her eyes just before I kissed her again. Aleksandra then pulled away with a small frown. "What?" I asked her running my hand through her hair, messing it up a bit so it looked pretty sexy.

She gave me a sad smile before saying, "Vernon vill be coming zoon, and I can't let him zee me 'ere." She kissed me again. "I'll zee you vhen ve get out, okay?"

I smirked. "Sure thing, babe." Aleksandra went to the door and opened it slowly making sure that Vernon wasn't down the hall forcing her to use my escape, luckily he wasn't there so all I had to do was watch her as she left.

Aleksandra

As soon as I stepped out into the hall I quickly went back in making John look at me in both confusion and shock. "Vernon'z down ze damn hall," I said making John jump up. It was sweet how worried he looked for me. No one has ever really looked at me like that, well other than Allison of course.

"Come on," he said taking my hand and pulling me to the vent. He knelt on the desk and pushed the vent aside before helping me onto the desk and giving me a boost into the vent. I heard him chuckle and then remembered I was wearing a skirt. "Black lace boy shorts, very nice," he chuckled.

"Zhut up," I growled blushing brightly as I got fully into the vent.

Bender laughed harder before saying, "Go left till you find the hole I made. Since your lighter then me have Sporto help you down." He then closed the vent and sat down just as the door opened. I didn't stay to hear what they said or did, but I quickly left the way John told me to.

I kept crawling until I got to the hole that Bender had made earlier. "Andy!" I called out to him. Andy, Claire, Allison, and Brian came out beneath the hole giving me strange looks. "I'll explain it later, but get me ze fuck down!" Andy nodded and the other's moved back as he placed himself beneath me to catch me as I fell. I could have landed easily if it weren't for the fact that I was so out of shape to do so, and that it was almost three times the jump that I did from the stairs. Andy caught me easily and placed me on the ground making me smirk at him. I slapped his shoulder and said, "Zanks Zporto."

Andy rolled his eyes at me mumbling, "You really are Bender's girl."

I smiled brightly to him, "Don't you know it." He looked at me a moment and then chuckled. "Vhat?" I asked. Andy only shook his head and left me. I went to my seat and packed away my things, putting away the guitar that had been left out, and getting myself ready for when Vernon got his ass over here to come get us from this hell hole.

The door opened and in walked Bender. Vernon didn't follow him in, he just went into his office and closed the door. John looked back and nodded, "And that's our cue the get the fuck out of here." We waited as he got his shit together and then left together. That's how it felt like it was going to be, the six of us together.

As we walked down the hall we passed Carl making us smile. He stopped pushing the mop bucket and let us pass. He nodded courtly to Brian, who returned the gesture while holding sweet Claire's hand. "See you Brian," he said.

"You too Carl," Brian repeated walking past.

Bender smirked passing him and paused making me pause with him. "See you next Saturday," he said.

"Ya," Carl nodded. He then looked to our conjoined hands and finally noticed me with John's scarf. "Wenn er Sie gibt, stören Sie, kennen Sie Sie wer, zu rufen." 'If he gives you trouble, you know who to call'.

I nodded. "Ja, der Ghostbusters." 'Ya, the Ghostbusters'. He chuckled. "Siehe am Samstag." 'See you Saturday.'

Carl nodded. "Ja," he said.

Bender and I continued down the hall, "What'd he say?" he asked.

I smiled sweetly to him. "Nothing you need to worry about." We followed everyone out of the school. Brian kissed Claire 'goodbye' before getting into his father's car. Claire smiled and waved as they drove away. "Claire," I called to her making her turn. "You going to drop Brian for being ze Queen again?"

Claire smiled at me. She came towards me and hugged me. "No," she whispered to me before going to her father's BMW as it pulled up. I smiled after her and then turned to Andy and Allison which made my smile grow wider. Andy kissed Allison goodbye in front of his father. She backed up to her parents' car and he got into his fathers. Neither wanting to leave the other's view.

"Alex," Allison called to me. "You walking?"

Bender took my hand that had been separated from his when I hugged Claire. "Ya, she is," he told her making her smirk before she got in the car and drove off. John then gave me a small tug before we both started walking, cutting through the football field. As we walked hand in hand, that's when it hit me. All of us six students brought together because of our boredom, unhappiness, vanity, anger, and stupidity were going to stay together. Through our differences we were exactly what we all needed to keep ourselves from falling apart. I smiled. At the beginning of the day I went in terrified to die truly alone that night but I came out knowing that I was no longer alone in this world. I was no longer by myself and I didn't need my crutch anymore. And deep inside I knew that the rest of them felt the same. We joined together, through Saturday Detention.
