I wanted to ask them a cool question.

"Guys, I'm curious about your talents, what're your talents?"

Allison was happy to go first.

"I can do stuff with my feet. I could eat, brush my teeth-"

"With your feet?" Claire asked in disgust.

"Play Heart and Soul on the piano."

"I can cook. Spaghetti and pancake's my specialty," Brian said grinning.

"I can tape ya'll's buns together," Andrew joked.

"Seriously, Andy."

"OK...I can do a back flip, handstand, I could even do a handstand underwater but not too deep."

"I wanna see what Claire can do," John said.

"I can't do anything," she replied.

"Everyone's good at something."

"You can sing Claire, I heard you before in the girl's bathroom," I said.

Andy smiled.

"And John, I see you in gym playing basketball and you are a natural!" I said.

John shrugged admitting it while smirking.

"Really?" Andy asked.

"Hmm hmm. He should join the boys basketball team!"

John shook his head.

"Anything else?" John asked Claire.

"I don't know."

"You ever seen Wild Kingdom? This guy's been doing that show for thirty years."

John reassured her anyone can do something.

"Well, there is one thing. It's stupid."

Andy shook his head.

"Ok. Promise you won't laugh."

John crossed his heart non verbally.

Claire took out her lipstick. Stuck it between her boobs. She successfully applied it on her upper lip. We applauded her.

"Good job," Andy said.

"Muy bien Claire, muy bien!" I said.

"Where'd you learn that?" Brian asked.

"Camp, seventh grade."

Claire looked at John. He was clapping slowly.

"That was great Claire, my image of you is totally blown."

His voice was full of pure sarcasm.

"You're a shit! You told her you wouldn't laugh!" Allison said.

"Am I laughing?"

"You fucking prick!"

"Why do you care? I don't even count right? I could disappear forever and it wouldn't make any difference. I may as well not even exist at this school, remember?"

He turned to Claire.

"And you, don't like me anyway."

"You know, I have as many feelings as you do and it hurts just as much when somebody steps all over them!" Claire said to John.

"God, you're so pathetic! Don't you ever, ever compare yourself to me, ok? You got everything and I got shit! Fucking Rapunzel right? The school would probably fucking shut down if you didn't show up! Queenie isn't here! I like those earrings Claire."
