I haven't updated in a while and for that I am sorry, but here we are. I do not own the Breakfast Club

When they returned to the group, Claire was lounging on a couch waiting for them, while Andy and Brain chatted. "Having fun their princess?" Bender asked as he moved her feet off the cushion and plopped down. Claire looked at Vasya, the high making her eyes foggy and dreamy, "Vasya you have such pretty hair." She swung her foot to the floor, "Comm'er" he beckoned. Vasya looked around and Claire laughed, "yea you, come here." Vasya gulped and sat on the floor in front of the couch and Claire pulled her closer to her legs "Perfect"

Claire grabbed her purse and pulled out a small hair brush and took hold of a chunk of Vasya's long hair. Bender grabbed Claire's purse and began to riffle through it. Vasya glared a little, "here" Bender tossed his ratty, wore leather wallet in her lap, "go crazy" Vasya opened the wallet and rummaged through candy bar wrappers, fifteen bucks all in ones and a condom package.

Claire began to braid and un braid, then re-braid her hair while Bender picked his teeth with Claire's makeup brush and Vasya looked though the multitude of pictures in Bender's wallet, mainly pictures of girls. "Are all these your girlfriends?" Vasya asked curiously. Bender eyed her and shrugged, "some of them…" Vasya flipped to another picture, "and the others?" Bender leaned back, "well some of them I consider my girlfriends, others I just consider."

Vasya eyed him carefully, "Consider what?"

Bender sighed and stood up, "whether or not I want to hang out with them." Claire looked up at him, "you don't believe in just one guy one girl?" she asked. "Do you?" Bender asked and Claire nodded, "yea, that's the way it should be."

"Well… Not for me." Bender shook his head. "why not?" Claire asked. Bender glared and shook his head not wanting to answer, "Why do you have so much shit in your purse?" he snapped and Claire's eyes bore into him, "why do you have so many girlfriends?"

"I asked you first"

Claire shrugged and tugged on Vasya's hair before sighing in frustration and undoing the braid and began to brush her hair again. "I don't know, guess I never throw anything away" she explained and Bender nodded, "well neither do I"

Claire nodded, "what about you Vasya? What do you think?" Vasya shrugged and thought a moment, "well, who are we really to say how a relationship should be? I mean you can't help who you like, and maybe Bender is Polyamorous."

"And that is?" Bender pressed, "Polyamorous describes a relationship between more than two people in which all parties are accepting of the relationship." Vasya explained. Vasya remembered her friends Ulla, Nikola, and Sunni had been in a Polyamorous relationship for a while until Sunni went off to university. "How can people do that without getting jealous?" Claire asked incredulously, "Trust I suppose, In a way I believe it makes sense, whatever makes people happy I guess." Vasya shrugged

Bender nodded, It made sense to him to. After all multi-person relationships had been around since humans have. "Hey Vasya, you grounded tonight?" Claire asked and Vaysa nodded, "for the next two weeks."

"Two weeks for your first detention? Harsh." Claire shook her head and Vasya shrugged in a sort of "What can you do?" sort of way. "you're still preforming in the concert next week thought right?" Vasya nodded, "The school said since it is my first offence they'll give me a pass. But my parents were furious. They kept saying that we didn't come to American for me to become a delinquent."

Claire leaned over to Bender, "Her parents are a little over protective." Bender nodded, "I picked up on that." The conversation seemed to end and they sat in a silence until everyone had comedown off their highs and soon they were all sitting in a circle on the floor.

Vasya had somehow found herself by Bender and the boy insisted on putting his arm around some part of her body, first her shoulder and when she pushed him off Bender wrapped it around her waist, and when she denied him that He grinned mischievously and waited until her guard was down before grabbing both of her ankles and pulling her into his lap while she protested adamantly.

She eventually gave in and lounged back on his chest casually. "What would I do for a million bucks?" Andy mused, "I guess I would do as little as I had to…" Claire sighed, "that's boring" she protested and Andy shrugged, "well how am I supposed to answer?"

"The point is to search your mind for the absolute limit, like…" Claire thought, "would you drive to school naked?" Andy laughed, "Uh would I have to get out of the car?"

"Of course." Claire nodded. Andy thought, "In the winter or the spring?" Claire shook her head, "It doesn't matter, spring." Andy nodded, "In the front of the school, or back?"

"Either one." Andy thought a moment and nodded, "yea I would."

"I'd do that!" Allison cut in and they all looked at her, "I'll do anything sexual and I don't need a million bucks to do it."

"You're lying" Claire called her bluff, "I already have, I've done just about everything you can do except a few things that are illegal" Her face split into a large grin, "I'm a nymphomaniac" Vasya's eyes widened, unsure if this girl was bluffing or not.

Claire, not buying it rolled her eyes, "Lie" she chimed in. Brian seemed to be caught in the tale, "are your parents aware of this?" he asked and Allison shook her head, "the only person I told was my shrink."

"Well what's he do when you told him?" Andy asked and Allison's eyes glinted, "He nailed me." Vasya blushed deeply and Claire's disgust was obvious, "Very nice." She noted and Allison began again, "I don't think what he did could be construed as rape from a legal standpoint considering I paid him."

"He's an adult!" Claire hissed. "Yea, he's married to." Allison nodded. Claire gagged, "do you have any idea how completely gross that is?!"

"Well the first few times…"

"The first few times?! You mean he did it more than once?!" Claire looked scandalized and Allison couldn't care less. "Sure."

"Are you crazy?"

Andy chimed in, "Well obviously she's crazy if she's screwing her shrink." He pointed out. Allison turned on Claire, "have you ever done it?" Claire leaned back and didn't meet her eye, "I don't even have a psychiatrist." She mumbled. "I mean have you ever done it with a normal person?"

"Wait didn't we already cover this?" Vasya chimed in. "You two never answered." Bender pointed out. "look, I'm not about to discuss my private life with complete strangers." Claire began only to be cut off by Allison, "It's kind of a double edged sword isn't it?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" Vasya asked. "well, If you say you haven't, you're a prude. But if you say you have, you're a slut. It's a trap." She explained and Vasya nodded, "You want to but you can't, but when you do you wish you hadn't, right?"

"Wrong." Claire chimed. "Or, are you a tease?" Allison asked. "She's a tease" Andy confirmed and Claire glared, "why don't you just forget it?"

"You're a tease and you know it, all girls are teases." He insisted and Vasya eyed him, "including me?" she asked and Bender wrapped her his arms around her waist, "you Ruski, are the Queen of Teases." Vasya shrugged, she didn't mind being called a Tease, there are worse things a person could be.

"Beside they're only teases if you they do gets you hot." Claire's face turned red, "I don't do anything!" she insisted. "And that's why, you're a tease." Allison confirmed.

"Okay, let me ask you a few questions." Claire said suddenly and Allison grew suddenly defensive, "I already told you everything!"

"No! Doesn't it bother you to sleep around without being in love? I mean don't you want any respect?" Claire asked. Allison rolled her eyes, "I don't screw to get respect, that's the difference between you and me"

"It's not the only difference I hope…" Claire muttered. "Face it you're a tease." Bender insisted

"I'm not a tease!"

"Sure you are, you said it yourself, sex is your weapon, you use it to get respect." Claire's face kept getting redder and redder, "I never said that! She twisted me words around!" she pointed at Allison. "Well then what do you use it for?"

"I don't use it period!" Claire looked like she might cry and Vasya felt sorry for the red head, "Oh are you medically frigid or is it physiological?" Vasya glared at Bender and pinched his leg hard in retaliation. Before wiggling out of his grasp and moving to Claire's side, ready to defend her if needed "I didn't mean it that way! You guys are putting words in my mouth!"

"Well if you'd just answer the question.."

"Yea, answer the question Claire!"

"Be honest!"

It soon got to be too much for Claire and she silenced them all with an livid screamed.

"NO, I NEVER DID IT!"

They all sat in silence until Allison grinned again, "I never did it either" Vasya and Claire stared at her with gaping mouths, "I'm not a nymphomaniac, I'm a compulsive liar." Vasya was almost angry on Claire behalf, however the red head was livid enough for the two of them. "You. Are such. A bitch!" She shrieked, "You did that just to fuck me over!"

"I would do it though, If you love someone it's okay"

"I can't believe you, you're so weird. You don't say anything all day and then when you open your mouth...you unload all these tremendous lies all over me!" Andy snickered, "You're just pissed off because she got you to admit to something you didn't want to."

Claire crossed her arms, "Fine, but that doesn't make it any less weird." Bender stopped her, "Wait, wait wait, Ruski still didn't answer the question."

Vasya eyed him, "you know the answer to that question." She pointed out. Bender shrugged, "Yes but I wanna hear you say it"

Vasya sighed and sat up straight, "Fine but listen closely because I'm only going to say this once. I am a Virgin, I have never had sex before in my life." She shrugged, "There, you happy?"

"Not surprising" Andy noted and Vasya turned to him, "What do you mean?" she asked coldly.

"Well look at you, everything about you just screams "Innocent"!" Andy explained. Vasya's face heated up, "It does not!" she protested. "Oh please, why do you think I defended you from Bender so much? You're just so naïve people sorta feel sorry for you. I mean that's probably why Claire and her friends keep you around, you're kind of like their little project."

Almost everyone stared at Andy, shocked at his cold bluntness. Even Bender, who wasn't known for his skill in being sensitive, was surprised.

Vasya was truthfully hurt, "T-That's not true!" she looked at Claire for back up, "Is it?" Claire looked around sheepishly, "I, well…" She eyed Vasya, "Maybe at first, but you just seemed to sweet and lost, we just thought you might need help fitting in." Vasya frowned, "so, you didn't really want to be my friends?" she asked, "You were just pitying me." She didn't ask the last part she stated it.

"No, Vasya it's not like that, well at first it was but it's different now." Claire assured her, "How? How am I any different then I was at the beginning of the semester when I moved here?" Vasya looked at her expectantly. "Well, you speak better English now, and you don't stick out as much, you're not as bizarre."

Andy finally caught on to the fact that he had hurt Vasya's feelings and decided to pop in on her side, "What's bizarre? I mean we're all pretty bizarre! Some of us are just better at hiding it, that's all." Claire turned to him, not convinced, "Well how are you bizarre?"

Allison chimed in before Andy could respond, "He can't think for himself." Andy nodded in silent agreement, "She's right." He looked around at the circle, "do you guys know what I did to get in here?" a few people shook their head and Andy sighed, "I taped Larry Lester's buns together" Claire let out a short laugh before covering her mouth.

"That was you?" Brian asked, Andy nodded, "yea, you know him?" Brian nodded back and responded quietly, "Yea, I know him."

Andy went on with his story, "Well then you know how hairy he is, right? Well, when they pulled the tape off, most of his hair came off and some, some skin too..." Vasya closed her eyes, "Oh my God"

Andy looked at the floor, reliving his crime in detail as he retold it to them, "And the bizarre thing is, is that I did it for my old man.." Vasya perked up, hearing the mention of Andy's father. "I tortured this poor kid, because I wanted him to think that I was cool. He's always going off about, you know, when he was in school...all the wild things he used to do. And I got the feeling that he was disappointed that I never cut loose on anyone, right..."

"So, I'm...I'm sitting in the locker room, and I'm taping up my knee. And Larry's undressing a couple lockers down from me. Yeah...he's kinda...he's kinda skinny, weak. And I started thinking about my father, and his attitude about weakness. And the next thing I knew, I uh, I jumped on top of him and started wailing on him...And my friends, they just laughed and cheered me on. And afterwards, when I was sittin' in Vernon's office, all I could think about was Larry's father. And Larry havin' to go home and...and explain what happened to him. And the humiliation...fucking humiliation he mustuv felt. It mustuv been unreal...I mean,"

Andy began to cry, and it was odd, Vasya thought, seeing a teenaged boy cry after all their macho posturing and threats.

Andy sniffled and went on, undeterred by his own tears, "I mean, how do you apologize for something like that? There's no way...it's all because of me and my old man." Andy's tears seemed to turn more to anger than guilt. "Oh God, I fucking hate him! He's like this...he's like this mindless machine that I can't even relate to anymore!"

He deepened his own voice to mimic his father "Andrew, you've got to be number one! I won't tolerate any losers in this family...Your intensity is for shit! Win. Win! WIN!" He broke down again and Vasya slid around Claire and toward Andy and placed her hand on his back.

"You son of a bitch! You know, sometimes, I wish my knee would give...and I wouldn't be able to wrestle anymore. And he could forget all about me..."

They all sat in utter silence for a few moment before Bender leaned back, "I think your ol' man and my ol' man should get together and go bowling." Andy chuckled a little and Vasya gave a tiny smile. "Nice to know we have something in common." She said softly and Andy looked at her, "Whaddya mean." Vasya turned and sat on her butt with her back on the table leg.

"My Parents and I moved here from Russian a few years ago, but until the beginning of this semester I had always been Homeschooled." She began, "We've never had much money, and the only reason we came was so I might get a full music scholarship. So there has always been a lot of pressure from my Parents to always be the best at what I do. I started playing the Violin at age five and when I was seven I moved up to a Viola. I am required to practice two hours before school, then immediately after school until dinner, then after dinner it is another three hours and then it is two hours of homework, and then a half an hour of chores, then I go to bed. Using simple math I spend at least eight a day practicing."

Vasya rubbed the pad of the thumb and her middle finger together, each of her fingers blemished with a little white scar in the pad, "At least twice a week I practice until my fingers bleed, and for every mistake I make on a piece I spend another fifteen minutes practicing until it's perfect, nothing else is acceptable. Add all the honors homework and Extra credit I do to boost my scholarship chances on top of that I well… you can see why I never get out much."

"So that's why you get Ulsers." Brian said quietly, and Vasya nodded, "and Migraines." She added. "Why don't you just tell your parents, I'm sure they would understand." Claire insisted. Vasya looked at her as if to ask, 'did you not here what I just said'. "Are you kidding me, If I so much as Hinted that I didn't want to play anymore, or even take a break It would kill them. They've sacrificed so much for me already, I couldn't possibly let them down. And I suppose If I'm totally honest, I've been told that my worth is measured in my skill for so long that If I quit now I wouldn't know what to do"

Bender held up one hand, "Wait wait wait, how in the Hell did you even get a detention?" Vasya sighed. "It was Friday after school. I got home and I realized I had left my viola in the music room. I panicked, If my parents found out I had left it at school they would flip. So I hid up in my room, locked the door and blared one of my practice tapes so it would sound like I was practicing. Then I snuck out my window and climbed down the drain pipe and rode my bike to the school. It was completely locked and everyone had gone home so I went to the back door of the gym and picked the lock with my hair pin."

"You broke into the school?!" Brian asked in disbelief. "I thought I would only be a few minutes, I would be home before my Parents realized anything. But on my way out I was caught by a janitor. He thought I was a thief and locked me in the office and call the cops. I guess I am lucky they didn't expel me, but my parents beg the principle to only give me a Saturday detention." She shrugged, "and here I am."

Vasya paused, "You know this may sound crazy, but this is the most time I have spent outside my house that wasn't for school or showcases, and…." She thought a little, "I kinda like it, I mean It's terrifying, but in a sorta good way…"
