Decided to take a little vacation from the writing and got back to the drawing, but here I am once again to rIP OUT YOUR FEELS AND MAKE YOU SUFFER THROUGH UPDATES. kidding. (wink wonk). So without further disrupting your reading time, enjoy the first chapter of this brand new story!~!
"Bonnibel! You need to hurry or you're going to be late for school!"
"Okay mom!"
The girl looked at herself one last time in the mirror to make sure she looked alright for her first day at her new school. She brushed her newly dyed pink hair out of her face and straightened out her pink high-waisted skirt before giving a deep sigh. She didn't mind the fact that her father's job moved them around a lot, she didn't mind the fact of having to leave old friends behind and make new ones, what she did mind was starting over again at a new school. She's grown to learn that the new girl has a harder time fitting in at first, or maybe that was just her, but she was happy they were finally set at a permanent residence for the remainder of her father's employment.
"Come on, Bonnie! You're going to be late, late, late!" said her younger sister, Goliad.
"I swear.. Did mom send you up here to get me?"
"Yup! Mom said I could have an extra pudding cup for lunch if I got you downstairs in the next five minutes!"
"You and sweets, a duo meant to be for all eternity."
"Oh, like you have room to talk! You eat more sweets than I do!"
"I suppose you're right on that one.." stated the older sister as she headed down the stairs with her younger sister close behind.
"If only there was an actual candy kingdom, you'd probably be the ruler over it!"
"Really? Why do you say that?"
"Because! You just love sweets and you're also very kind! You would rule with a peppermint butler in a castle made entirely out of candy along with it's citizens!"
"Oh, yeah? Would that make you a princess too?"
"Of course it would! But I would much different! I'd be covered in pink fur and have mind control powers so that way no one could stop me! I'd be invincible!"
"Nice imagination you got there, Goliad. Keep it up, who knows maybe it'll make a great story someday." said Bonnibel as she entered the kitchen where her mother stood with her lunch ready.
"Get a move on! Your father is waiting in the car for you!" said her mother with a smile.
"Alright, alright! I'll see you guys later!" she yelled over her shoulder as she ran out the door.
Only when she was actually at her new school did her nerves begin to kick in. She didn't really expect her campus to be so large and filled with so many people, she was especially having a hard time finding her first class without any help. She looked at the map and assigned schedule she had and glanced up at the doors as she passed them.
"5-206, 5-207.. ah! Here we are! 5-208!"
She shuffled her papers in an organized manner before wiping her sweaty palms against her skirt, with a deep breath she opened the door to see her teacher in the middle of his lecture. The man glanced over to her from his whiteboard above his glasses followed by her fellow classmates. She could feel a small blush forming on her cheeks before hearing a throat being cleared.
"Is there something I can help you out with Miss..?"
"Blythe! Bonnibel Blythe. I'm the new student in your class."
"Oh! Of course! Well, welcome Ms. Blythe!" said her teacher with a smile, "I guess the office had forgotten to inform me of your transfer. Please, tell us a little about yourself."
"Well.. alright.. I-"
Just as she was about to share her basic information with the class, the door opened. Bonnibel turned to see a young woman walking in behind her. She had hair as dark as night and twice as smooth as the sky, her skin color of a natural light tan, and her eyes covered by sunglasses for the time being. She wore a red plaid shirt with a rather loose white shirt underneath, black jeans that hugged her legs fairly well, and finally a pair of lightly faded black shoes that had a few holes forming here and there from being worn out so much.
"Hey! Simon! What's shakin' my man?" asked the girl with a toothy grin as she lifted her sunglasses onto her head, revealing her hazel colored eyes.
"Nice of you to finally join us, Ms. Abadeer. Now, I'm not going to lecture you, but I'm only going to remind you one last time. You may not address me as 'Simon' during school hours AND if you're late, you better have a good reason why." said the teacher with a tired sigh.
"I swear this time I do! You see what had happened was Marshall's car wouldn't start today so we ended up having to take mine instead and would you believe it? Silly ole' me forgot where I put my keys!"
"I can believe it," interrupted the teacher for a brief moment, "continue."
"Right, so, we had to look for them in order to even actually get here and we also had to go pick up his girlfriend along the way!"
"And..."
"And... I may have stopped to get coffee." mentioned the girl as she swished the half empty cup's contents around. She then glanced over to Bonnibel curiously before she spoke, "who's the new kid?"
"Her name is Bonnibel Blythe. Now, if you would be so kind as to sit down, we can get on with class."
"Alright, alright, Si- I mean Mr. Petrikov. I'm going, I'm going!"
Bonnibel watched the strange girl as she walked to her chair. She carelessly threw her black backpack onto the floor, sitting comfortably in her seat before taking another swig of her drink. She cradled her cup in her hand as she crossed her arms, waiting for the introduction to be finished. She noticed the girl's blue eyes staring at her, so she gave a small wink followed by a smirk back. The younger woman blushed a bit more before glancing away.
"Now, Ms. Blythe. If you would please." motioned Mr. Petrikov with his hand for her to continue.
"R-Right. Well, my name is Bonnibel. I'm currently sixteen years old, I enjoy reading and traveling, I live with both of my parents along with my older brother and younger sister, and I hope to one day win the Nobel prize with my future works in chemistry."
"I say, that is quite interesting! I don't think I've ever had a student who actually loved science so much to dream of winning the Nobel prize! That's a good goal to set your sites on in life, now please take a seat next to Ms. Abadeer while I finish this lecture. Don't worry about taking notes, I'll do my best to catch you up to speed in time for the chapter test.
"Thank you, Mr. Petrikov."
With that, Bonnibel began walking towards her desk. She didn't mind the few eyes that followed her all the way to her seat, but she couldn't help but feel somehow different about a certain pair of hazel eyes watching her, even after she sat down. She relaxed and leaned against her chair as she began picking at the split ends in her pink hair, she could see feel the same pair of eyes staring at her and sure enough when she glanced out of the corner of her eye she saw the girl staring at her.
The pink haired girl quickly looked away and continued to pick at her split ends, she could feel her blush beginning to form back against her cheeks and soon her ears. She prayed it wasn't so noticeable that the other girl would point it out, but she then felt a tap on her desk. She glanced over once more to the older girl who pulled her foot back before she spoke.
"Hey." was all she said calmly and quietly.
"Hi..?" said the confused junior as she let go of her hair.
"How new are you here?"
"Well, today's my first day."
"Today? Enjoy the blissful laziness that comes with it as long as you can."
"Blissful laziness? What do you mean by that?"
"You know.. not having any homework, having to take notes, actually pay attention, you know the basic stuff."
"Actually I kind of enjoy doing all that." Bonnibel answered truthfully.
The Abadeer girl gave the other girl a strange look before speaking again.
"You enjoy it..?"
"I only said kind of."
"But..why..?"
"It's a challenge to better yourself on something, once you challenge yourself and your brain long enough you'll soon master the subject at hand."
"Huh.. never really thought of it that way."
Bonnibel gave a small chuckle before resting her body weight on her elbows against the top of her desk before she spoke, "So are you a junior too?"
"Me? Nah. I'm on my last year here, I've never been so ready to finish something in all my life."
"From what I've heard senior year goes by pretty quick."
"Ha. Not fast enough for my taste."
Just as soon as the junior was about to open her mouth to speak again the bell rang, everyone gathered their materials and headed out the doors to their next class without hesitation. Bonnibel picked up her pink backpack and her papers before stepping out the door herself, as she began to read the map for her next destination she felt a hand on her shoulder. When she turned she saw it was the senior whom she was talking with only moments ago.
"Jeez, you sure don't wait around do you?" questioned the older girl as she slung her backpack up on one of her shoulders.
"Oh! I'm sorry! That must have been rude of me, it's just I don't want to be late for my next class and I'm having a bit of trouble reading this map." confessed the new student.
"Let me see your schedule."
"My schedule..? But w-"
Before she could finish her sentence the senior snatched the paper from her hands and scanned the information quickly, not long after did she hand it back to the younger girl.
"I'll take you to your next class, I'm a few doors down from where you are."
Bonnibel looked at the senior a bit puzzled before realizing that she had begun to walk away, she quickly snapped out of her daze before lightly trotting to meet up with her again. The two walked together and laughed a bit, it seemed as if they had known each other a lot longer than what it actually was, but what really put the new student off was the fact of the stares. Again, everyone was staring at the two of them, either in a surprised way or in a completely confused manner. It wasn't until the new student bumped into the senior did she come back to reality.
"Oh! Sorry!" said the junior timidly.
"Hey, no worries, but this where we part ways."
The pink haired girl looked at the door before meeting again with hazel colored eyes.
"Well, thank you for showing me the way. I probably would've been late had it not been for you."
"No problem, Bonnie."
"Bonnie?"
"Yeah, don't get me wrong Bonnibel is an adorable name, but I think I'm gonna call you Bonnie, is that okay?"
"Yeah.. yeah that's fine!" said the younger girl with a bit of excitement in her voice followed by shy smile.
The final bell chimed alerting all students that they had only a minute left to get to their classes, the Abadeer girl pulled her strap to tighten her backpack around her shoulder before speaking again.
"I guess I better get going, but would you mind if I annoyed you a bit longer after this class too?"
"Annoy me? You don't annoy me."
The senior gave a toothy grin showing off her sharp canines before walking backwards and speaking, "so.. see you in a bit?"
"Yeah, I wouldn't mind some company." said Bonnibel as she tucked some hair behind her ear, suddenly a thought came to her, "wait! What's your name!"
"It's Marceline!" called out the senior before she entered her own class.
'Marceline.. Marceline Abadeer.. making at least one acquaintance on my first day isn't bad I must admit.' thought the girl with a smile before turning into her next class.
"Oh, how may I help you?" asked the teacher kindly.
"My name is Bonnibel Blythe, I'm the new student in your class." said junior with a confident smile as she handed over her schedule.
So.. what did you guys think? I'm sure the whole high school AU has been done so many times over, but I thought why not give it a shot for myself? Gimme some love or critiques in the reviews and let me know!
