The Musician a Breakfast Club fanfiction.

Chapter 10

We all were waiting for Vernon to be on the move.  Bender had calmed down and things were back to normal.  

"Coffee.  Looks like they scrape it off the bottom of the Mississippi River.  Everything's polluted, everything's polluted.  The coffee," we hear Vernon mumble to himself.  Bender walked out of the room and we all follow.  Claire caught up to Bender, Brian and I were walking behind them, Andrew was behind us, and Allison was walking behind him.

"How do you know where Vernon went?" Claire asked.

"I don't," Bender answered her.

"Well then, how do you know when he'll be back?"

"I don't.  Being bad feels pretty good, huh?"  Bender smirked at her.  I smirked at them both.

"What are you smirking at?" Brian asked me with a half smile.

"I, uh, think they like each other," I answered. 'Smooth Mel,' I thought to myself.

"Really? How can you tell?"  

"Well, Claire likes to be around him a lot and Bender has been bugging her since Vernon left us alone," I said a-matter-of-factly.

"Interesting."  Brian looked dazed, "Anyways, what's the point in going to Bender's locker?"

"Beats me," Andrew answered him.

"This is stupid.  Why do you think, why are we risking getting caught?" Brian asked Andrew

"I dunno."

"So then, what are we doing?"  Andrew then looked really annoyed.

"You ask me one more question and I'm beating the crap out of you!"

"Sorry."  Bender looked down.  I got angry.  I think it's just because I hate Andrew.  He's a jerk!  I was about to yell, until I felt a hand on my arm.  Brian looked at me like it was ok.  He, sadly, was already use to this stuff.  I smiled at him slightly and moved on.  Bender opened his locker when we finally got there.

"Slob," Andrew commented.

"My maid's on vacation," Bender said sarcastically.  He then pulled out a bag of marijuana.

"Drugs," Brian mumbled.

"Screw that Bender, put it back," Andrew commanded.   Bender just ignored him and walked away.

"Drugs.  The boy had marijuana," Brian said again.  Claire went after Bender, "That was marijuana!"

"Shut up!"  Andrew yelled at him.  I like Brian a lot, but I had to agree with Andrew on this one.  Andrew followed them.  Brian just looked at me and Allison with his mouth wide open.  

"Do you guys approve of this?"  He asked us.

"Well no, but are you really surprised that John Bender has drugs?"  We both took off.  Allison took Bender's lock from his locker and then followed us.  We were all walking back to the library now.  

"We'll cross through the lab and then we'll double back," Bender commanded us.

"You better be right, if Vernon cuts us off it's your fault!"  Andrew yelled at him.

"What'd he say?  Where're we going?"  Brian asked me.

"You like asking questions, you know that?"  I told Brian. We then saw Vernon. We ran around the school in a frenzy like we were in a movie. We finally came to a stop.

"Wait!  Wait, hold it!  Hold it!  We have to go through the Cafeteria!"  Bender informed us.  

"No, the Activities Hall," Andrew argued.

"Hey man, you don't know what you're talking about!"

"No, you don't know what you're talking about!"  Allison squeaked right then.  

"No. We're done listening to you, we're going this way," Andrew ordered.  I thought we should follow Bender.  He's been in detention a lot, so he should know what he's talking about.  We all ended up going Andrew's way, "Crap!" he shouted.

"Great idea Jagoff!" Bender yelled at him.

"Screw you!"

"Screw you!  Why didn't you listen to John?"  Claire said to Andrew.

"For once Princess, you're right." I smiled at her.

"Thanks?" she said not sure of herself.  I nodded in responce.

"We're dead!"  Brian yelled.

"No.  Just me," Bender  said.  I looked at him like he was crazy.

"What do you mean?" Brian asked.

"Get back to the library.  Keep your unit on this!"  Bender then put his bag of marijuana in Brian's pants.  Bender than ran down the hallway singing, "I wanna be an airborne ranger!"

"He's crazy, but heroic," I mumbled to myself.  We all ran back to the library.  I prayed that Bender would be ok.
