The Brain.
The Athlete.
The Basket Case
The Criminal.
The Princess.
Fortunately for them, and for us, they existed in a time before cell phones and social media. But what if they hadn’t?
For 2 months, the 7 different characters of The Breakfast Club (5 students, a vice principal, and a janitor) have stealthily been living their lives on Instagram, posting about the things quintessentially them.
• John Bender (@benderbeefinjection) has been giving the finger to all the things he loathes.
• Brian (math_club_prez) has been recreating great moments in math and science history with his sister’s Legos.
• Andrew (@sweepthelegac) has been posting inspirational wrestling videos.
• Allison (@illinympho) has been posting her weird and depressing drawings.
• Claire (@cutelikesushi) has been, at the behest of her history tutor, been posting her take on historical figures (i.e. if she’d lose her virginity to them.)
• Carl the Janitor (@lockyourlockers) has been posting pictures of all the things he finds in kids’ lockers.
• And Vice Principal Vernon (@babesoftoolland) has been posting pictures of some of his favorite tool company calendar girls.
And one Saturday, all their lives came together in real time as they convened in the library of Shermer High School.
