The Breakfast Club

Teenage architypes all go to school on Saturday. The nobs. A teacher tells them to do an essay. They have a bit of a dance, take drugs, have a nice chat and then, presumably, hold down the cool goth girl to put square make-up on her. Then they all get off with each other apart from the geeky one and go home. Essay isn’t done properly, so you’d imagine they have to come back next week or they’ll never learn.
