Let the Game Begin

2:00 PM


Only two hours until it was time to go home. You've been stuck in detention with the Breakfast Club: Brian Johnson, the brain, Andrew Clark, the athlete, Allison Reynolds, the basket case, Claire Stanish, the princess, and John Bender, the criminal.


Given that it was boring and going slow, you all hoped Vernon would stay out of the way for a while. You had to admit that the last few hours were interesting since Bender closed the door and helped sneak you out to get some weed from his locker.

"Fair enough," you said.


Everyone sits on the floor. Bender placed his switchblade on an atlas.
