"Revealed secrets"





"What would I do for a million bucks?" Andrew repeated Claire's question.
The whole group was seated together again, at the back of the library. They were all slumped to the ground and talking about random subjects. Oliver was leaning against a rail while Brian leaned on him with his back to Olivers chest. To their left was Andrew and next to the Clark boy was Allison. Claire was about 5 feet away from Oliver and Brian, sitting against a pilar while John sat against the pilar opposite her. 
"I guess I'd do as little as I had to." Andrew answered the question vaguely.
"That's boring." Claire wasn't satisfied.
"Well, what am I supposed to answer?" Andrew shot back.
"The idea is to, like, search your mind for the absolute limit. Like, would you drive to school naked." She ranted.
 As Claire was talking John couldn't help but stare at his brother in wonder. He and Brian had gotten suspiciously close in such short amount of time. Oliver felt John's eyes boring holes into his head and raised his head to make eye contact. He gave his brother a look as if to ask what was bothering him. John flicked his eyes down to Brian and then up to meet Oliver's again as answer and Oliver seemed to get the gist of what was wrong. John nodded his head as them and to ask if his gut feeling was right and Oliver nodded in confirmation. With the silent conversation the Bender twins seemed to be having Oliver figured out that John had caught on to his feelings. At first he didn't want to admit said feelings to himself but if even his brother had noticed he had no other choice but to just accept that he was slowly falling more and more for the boy that was leaning against him.  

By the time the Bender twins started paying attention to the conversation again Allison and Claire had started talking to each other, although, their talk seemed to be taking a turn for the worse.
"I've just done about everything there is, except for a few things that are illegal. I'm a nymphomaniac." Allison said.
"Lie." Claire retorted.
"Are your parents aware of this?" Brian sat up a little straighter.
"The only person I told was my shrink." Allison replied.
"What did he do when you told him?" Andrew asked.
"He nailed me." Allison said, altough she didn't convince Oliver.
"Very nice." He said sarcastically.
"I don't think that from a legal standpoint what he did can be construed as rape, since I paid him." Allison continued.
"He's an adult." Oliver said pointedly, not liking the topic of the conversation because it was starting to trigger him.
"Yeah, he's married too." She made it worse by saying that and Oliver made sure to let her know by groaning in disgust.
"Do you have any idea how fucked up that is?" John spoke up, eyeing his brother as he did so, just to check on him since he knew the topic was a sensitive one for Oliver because of their dad and what he did to the boy.
"Well, the first few times.." Allison started again.
"The first few times?! You mean he did it more than once?" Claire asked crazed.
"Sure." Allison shrugged.
"Are you crazy?" Oliver uttered, completely fed up with the girl's bullshit, to him this wasn't something to joke around about.
"Obviously she's crazy if she's screwing her shrink." Brian turned his his to look at Oliver.
"Have you ever done it?" Allison directed her words as Claire.
"I don't even have a psychiatrist." Claire rolled her eyes.
"Have you ever done it with a normal person?" She asked again.
"Didn't we already cover this?" Claire avoided the question.
"You never answered the question." John pointed out.
"Look, I'm not going to discuss my private life with total strangers." She shrugged.
"It's kind of a double-edged sword, isn't it?" Allison tried, and succeeded, to annoy the other girl.
"A what." Claire said in a snarky tone.
"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. And when you do, you wish you didn't, right?" Allison elaborated as Oliver started to become fidgety, fumbling around with the sleeves of his sweater as a form of distraction.
"Wrong." Claire denied with a frown.
"Or are you a tease?" Allison mocked.
"She's a tease." Andrew answered for her.
"I'm sure, why don't you forget it?" Claire raised her voice.
"You're a tease and you know it, all girls are teases." Andrew spoke.
"She's only a tease if what she does gets you hot." John chimed in.
"I don't do anything." Claire shouted in disbelief.
"That's why you're a tease." Allison grinned.
"Okay, let me ask you a few questions." Claire spat back.
"I already told you everything." Allison huffed out a laugh.
"No. Doesn't it bother you to sleep around without being in love? Don't you want respect?" Claire's words caught the Bender twins' attention, both for a different reason.
"I don't screw to get respect. That's the difference between you and me." Allison explained.
"That's not the only difference, I hope." Claire rolled her eyes.
"Face it. You're a tease." Oliver spoke up just to rile the girl up.
"I'm not a tease." Claire spat back.
"Sure you are. Sex is your weapon, you said it yourself. You use it to 'get respect'. " He smirked devilishly.
"No, I never said that. She twisted my words around." Oliver noticed the way Claire started to feel helpless.
"What do you use it for then?" He continued probing.
"I don't use it, period!" Claire exclaimed.
"Oh, are you medically frigid? Or is it psychological?" Oliver grinned.
"I didn't mean it that way! You guys are putting words in my mouth." Claire spoke desperatly.
"Well, if you'd just answer the question.." Oliver trailed off.
"Why don't you just answer the question?" Brian agreed.
"Be honest, no big deal." John enjoyed putting the red-head under pressure.
"Yeah, answer it." Brian said.
"Just answer the question, Claire. Talk to us." Andew also spoke up.
"Come on!" Brian exclaimed.
"Answer the question!" All the boys said simeltaniously.
"Don't be a jerk!"
"It's easy."
"It's only one question."
"No! I never did it!" Claire finally broke, yelling from the top of her lungs as tears treathened to spill.
"I never did it either." Allison spoke after a second of silence, Oliver was just smirking in amusement.
"I'm not a nymphomaniac. I'm a compulsive liar." Allison grinned slightly as Oliver couldn't help but start laughing out loud, already having had the suspicion.
"You are such a bitch!" Claire uttered as everyone, minus Oliver, started at the dark haired girl.
"You did that on purpose just to fuck me over!" Claire continued as an amused smile also started making its way onto the other Bender's face.
"I would do it though. If you love someone it's okay." Allison said more quietly while looking at Oliver with a small but genuine smile, her words having a double meaning.
"I can't believe you. You're so weird. You don't say anything all day, and then when you open your mouth you unload all these tremendous lies all over me." Claire said dramatically.
"You're just pissed off because she got you to admit something you didn't want to admit to." Oliver defended the Reynolds girl.
"Can you just shut up for once, Bender? Just because your dad hits and touches you and all that stuff doesn't mean you have to act like a sarcastic prick to people who have it better than you." Claire ran her mouth in frustration, slapping a hand over her mouth as soon as she realized what she just said, her eyes widening comically.
Brian's face immediatly fell as did every others', he turned and shifted to face Oliver, who was already looking at him with wide eyes full of fear. Meanwhile John stood up and strode over to Oliver, furious because of Claire. 
"What did she just say?" Brian frowned.
