"What would I do for a million bucks?" Andrew says, thinking about it. "Well, I guess I'd do as little as I had to."
The six teens sat in a circle, talking about the most random things that first came into their heads. Barbie shifts from sitting crisscross to a scrunched position, arms holding her up behind her, staring at Andrew as he speaks.
"That's boring." Claire retorts.
"Well, how'm I s'posed to answer?"
"The idea is to, like, search your mind for the absolute limit."
"Oh, would you drive to school naked?" Barbie smiles. She lost her filter at that moment, arms hugging her knees to her chest.
Andrew laughs. "Um, uh...would I have to get out of the car?"
"Of course."
"In the spring, or winter?"
"It doesn't matter," Claire sighs.
"Spring!" Barbie says.
"In front of the school or in back of the school?"
"Either one." Claire shrugs.
"Yes."
"I'd do that!" Allison yells, making everyone look at her. "I'll do anything sexual, I don't need a million dollars to do it either."
"You're lying," Claire scoffs.
"I already have. I've done just about everything there is except a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac!"
Claire rolls her eyes. "Lie..."
"Are your parents aware of this?" Brian asks.
"The only person I told was my shrink."
"And what'd he do when you told him?" Andrew leans in as he asks.
"He nailed me."
"Very nice!" Barbie says, high fiving her new friend. Everyone just scoffs. Barbie knows she's joking, Allison was chewing her cheek.
"I don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape since I paid him."
Claire gasps. "He's an adult!"
"Yeah... he's married too!" Barbie high fives her again.
"Do you have any idea how completely gross that is?"
"Well, the first few times..."
"First few times? You mean he did it more than once?"
"Sure..."
"Are you crazy?"
Barbie cocks an eyebrow and leans into Allison's ear. "Was it any good?"
"Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing her shrink..." Brian scoffs.
"Have you ever done it?"
"I don't even have a psychiatrist." Claire looks offended at Allison's question.
"Have you ever done it with a normal person?"
"Now, didn't we already cover this?"
"You never answered the question," Bender states, leaning back.
"Look, I'm not gonna discuss my private life with total strangers." Claire retorts.
"It's kind of a double-edged sword, isn't it?" Barbie asks, not expecting an answer.
"A what?"
"Well, if you say you haven't... you're a prude. If you say you have...you're a slut! It's a trap. You want to but you can't but when you do you wish you didn't, right?"
