Salutations, this is my first ever Adventure time story! Yay! *Cheers of joy* I should actually finish some of my other stories because I start stuff and never finish it, hopefully that will change. Sorry I haven't written anything in a while, I got tons of homework! I have two 800 word reports due in 2 days. But I made this story first, because frankly it was more important. Also, it takes me like, 3 hours just to write 800 words, this was so time consuming.
Anyway, STORY NOTES:
- The school they go to is a very prestigious school, just imagine Ouran High School Host Club style.
- Yes, Marceline can be exposed to the sun. Why? Because I realised later and I can not be bothered to change the story.
- I am aware of all the grammatically incorrect errors, I'm just trying to get this story done quickly. When I have got some time to myself I will look some things over again.
Thankyou, I hope you enjoy the story. And let me know what you think, unless it's bad stuff, then just say it in your mind.
Tranquil.
Marceline gazed up at the sky, her hands covering her eyes from the sunlight that framed her face so delicately. She sighed and lay back against the tree behind her.
Marceline felt so content, the sound of the wind through the trees were more soothing than the voices of chatty girls in her class. She knew she was probably going get in trouble for ditching her classes, too bad she couldn't care less. Marceline took her head off the tree bark, she yawned, and feeling more tired than usual. She laid her head on the grass and drifted off into sleep.
Marceline was awoken shortly by a light kick to her thigh. She rubbed her eyes and stretched widely, only then to turn to the person standing next to her.
"Hey babe." The man squatted next to Marceline and ruffled her hair.
"What's up Ash?" Marceline replied. She had been waiting to see her boyfriend since the very start of day.
Ash sat next to Marceline and draped his arm over her shoulder. "I saw you from the window in my class, you're so useless when it comes to hiding." Ash laughed and retracted his arm. "It's a wonder why the teachers didn't spot you."
"Probably because my dad could have them jobless." A wicked grin spread to Marceline' face. "Or dead."
Ash stood up, and brushed excess dirt and grass off his but. "Well, I better get back to class, I told them I had to use the bathroom." Marceline stood up too and steadied herself on the tree she was resting on. "Like they'd believe you."
"No, they probably don't want to mess with the future son-in-law of Hunson Abadeer." Ash walked off leaving Marceline alone standing by the tree. She hated it when Ash would say creepy things like that, it was unsettling for her. Marceline didn't like thinking about it too much, she loved Ash terribly, and knew he was probably just joking around.
Marceline decided to head home early, she was feeling too tired to stay at school.
It is now the beginning of February, the cold winter is nearing its end.
Marceline couldn't remember the last time she had stayed at school for a full day, she thought maybe she should actually put her father's money to use. She decided to try and go to class, if it was too boring she could always leave. She had forgotten what the people in her class were like, if she remembered correctly, they were all just a waste of space. A very large majority of her school was made up of snobby rich kids, she only knew a few people and they were all friends of Ash.
Marceline walked through the halls of her school, people would stare at her and more than likely whisper insulting things. If Marceline cared, she would, it was too bad she didn't. She reached the classroom where her class was being held, she actually had to go find and ask Ash where it was located again. She opened the door to a large group of people gossiping around the desks. They're talking faded as Marceline strutted her way through them and to a desk in the far back corner. They group of girls had their eyes on her for what seemed like a decade before they turned back and continued their conversation.
Marceline leaned back on her chair and put her hands behind her head, thinking about being outside in the lovely warm weather.
The bell rang signaling that classes have started, students came flooding in the classroom, and all had their eyes glued on Marceline. It was unusually quiet, Marceline gave a quick scowl to the people staring at her. Everyone turned their heads away from her and to the front of the class. It was soundless, they only thing heard was soft chuckling from Marceline.
The teacher walked into the classroom, her eyes caught Marceline's and she smirked. "Nice of you to join us again Miss Abadeer, I hope you are staying for the full day." The teacher sarcastically remarked. Marceline smirked at the teachers comment. "We'll see how things go."
Before the teacher could make another remark, she was interrupted by the door of the classroom opening once again. "Good morning Miss Poundcake, you are looking well today." The principal of the school was standing at the door way smiling away at the teacher. "Good morning sir, what can I help you with?" The teacher cocked her head to the side, she looked like she was trying to look behind the principals back. "Well." The principal walked further into the class. "We have a new student joining your lovely class today." He turned around to the doorway and gestured with his hands to someone hiding behind the doorway.
"Come on now don't be shy." The principal cooed.
A young girl, who looked Marceline's age, slowly stepped out from behind the door. She had light hue pink hair which flowed around her waist elegantly, atop her head was a soft pink ribbon. Her cheeks were tinted pink from embarrassment from being in front of so many people. She kept her hands clasped together and kept her eyes on the floor as she walked closer to the principal.
The principal put his hand behind her back and looked to the class. "This is Bonnibel Bubblegum, she will be the new addition to your class. Treat her nicely, as you can see, she is rather timid. The principal seemed to be looking around the class for the girl to sit. Unfortunately for him, the only desks vacant were surrounding Marceline. The principal was smart enough not to let someone like her sit anywhere near Marceline, well, that's what she thought. "Well, I guess the only vacant seats are at the back there." The principal cleared his thought, obviously looking rather concerned. "Why don't you take seat next to Marceline?" The principal pointed his fat finger in Marceline's direction.
The girl looked up briefly to see where the principal had directed her. She stared inquisitively at Marceline, which made Marceline feel slightly unsettled. The principal pat Bonnibel on her back in reassurance, in response she tore her eyes away and walked towards the said desk. She walked towards the desk that was closest to Marceline.
Her pink lips slowly trembled. For a moment, it appeared that she was about to say something, although she kept her lips tightly shut.
That beautiful, childish face seems to want something.
"May I sit with you here?"
Her speech is enough to make anyone's breath catch.
"Uhh… I guess…" Marceline felt flustered, not even Ash showed her that much courtesy.
In one fluid motion, Bonnibel placed herself next to Marceline, their shoulders brushed against each other as she settled herself on her seat. Everyone in the class watched in awe at the odd pair, it was if they expected Marceline to tear the other girls head off. Even the principal was anticipating for the said event. Marceline saw that the girl next to her felt uncomfortable with all the people staring at her, as she just kept looking down at her desk. Marceline slammed her hand against her desk which made everyone in the classroom flinch. "What are you all looking at? If you got something to say then say it!" Everyone turned away and faced the front of the classroom, well, everyone but the girl sitting next to Marceline, who was wide eyed in surprise.
"Well then." The principal poised himself. "I suppose you are taken care of, I guess my business here is done." In flash the principal exited the classroom as quickly as he entered.
The room was silent for a few seconds before the teacher started to speak. "So, would you like to tell us something about yourself Miss Bubblegum?"
Bonnibel shook her head, Marceline thought she already looked like she had had enough excitement for the day. The teacher nodded, not wanting to make the girl feel less uncomfortable than she already was, and went on with the role call.
Marceline leaned back on her chair once more letting out an annoyed sigh, she quickly glanced at the girl next to her. She had to admire her courage for sitting so close, though in a weird way it flattering.
Marceline left class maybe an hour or so after it started, she tried to stay as long as she could. But it was just too boring, so she decided to go to her favorite spot under the tree in one of the schools gardens. Marceline ran her fingers through the manicured grass, ripping the strands right out of their roots. She leaned back against the tree, déjà vu, this seemed to be all she ever did.
Maybe it was time for a change, Marceline dusted the dirt off her butt and started walking towards the school classrooms. She wasn't going to class, but she thought she might as well look for something more interesting than sleeping under a tree.
It had been about fifteen minutes before Marceline realized that it would be best just to leave school for the day, she wondered why she even goes to school in the first place.
Just as Marceline was about to step outside, the crack of thunder filled her ears, followed by a torrential downpour. She stood just outside of the building, taking in all the frustration that was surging through her body.
Marceline let a deep breath out, turned around, and trudged back inside the building.
Classes were still commencing, so she really had nowhere to go, instead she made her way through the corridor, leaving a dripping trail of water behind her. Marceline stomped as she walked, she felt irked and annoyed, and the only thing that could make her day worse was being caught by a teacher or something.
Marceline came across a room she had never seen before, the library, she knew it existed although this is her first encounter with it. She opened the door slowly and stuck her head inside, there was barely anyone there. The librarian had fallen asleep at her desk, so Marceline didn't have to put in any effort to sneak past her. The library was huge, there were continuous shelves of books as far as the eye can see. Marceline was taken in by size of it, it was a shame that barley anyone comes into the library. Marceline wandered through the maze of bookshelves, finding the quietness and the ambiance quite refreshing. She walked into another aisle if shelves, but something interesting caught her eye. There was someone on a small stand trying to reach a book further higher than what she could reach. Marceline carefully walked closer, the person did not notice Marceline sneaking up behind her, she seemed too engaged in reaching the desired book.
Marceline walked right up behind the girl, instantly recognizing her face. She just stood behind the girl taking in the awkward position she was in, finding it hilarious. "Shouldn't you be in class?"
The desired effect was instantaneous.
The poor girl let out a small squeal in surprise and fell from her perch, knocking down a few books with her. She lay on her back with her hands resting upon her chest, trying to recover from her mild panic attack, books were scattered all around her. Marceline let out a billow of laughter, almost driving her to tears. The girl lifted herself off her back, and moved into a sitting position, turning her head around to see who had caused her such an unpleasantly. Marceline was settling down, she was now just chuckling to herself. "What are you doing ditching class in the library? It's only your first day, Bonnibel was it?" Bonnibel's face turned a deep shade of pink, as she nervously answered my question. "Umm... I g-got distracted…" She hesitantly laced her hair through her fingers playing with the small strands. "I only c-came in here for… one book…"
"Wow." Marceline leaned against the bookshelf. "What a rebel, the police are going to be all over you." She glanced down at the girl. Bonnbiel looked like she was on the verge of tears. "Oh, H- Hey, I didn't mean to upset you or anything..." Marceline felt worried and moved closer towards the girl, descending to her knees. Her arms were awkwardly hovering over Bonnibel, unsure whether to touch her or not.
Bonnibel looked at Marceline their eyes keeping contact, "I-I didn't mean to truant my classes… I just get carried away s-sometimes." To Marceline, skipping her classes were just another part of her day. Although she did feel bad for the girl next to her, she seemed genuinely upset. "It's really not that bad, I skip classes every day." She probably wasn't making Bonnibel feel any better, but she was trying to at least calm her down. "The teachers probably don't even notice I'm gone." A small chortle came from Bonnibel, this was the first time Marceline had seen her smile. The young girl directed her eyes to Marceline. "I don't think that's the case, you stand out quite a lot." Marceline inched her face towards slightly in a teasing matter. "What, because I'm super hot?" Marceline could feel the heat radiating off Bonnibel, who looked very flushed and embarrassed. "I-I… D-didn't mean… t-that" Bonnibel was trying to cover her flushing cheeks, though Marceline didn't want to admit it, She found Bonnibel to be rather adorable. "So, you're saying I'm not super awesome hot?"
Bonnibel was too embarrassed to say anything, she just turned her face away from Marceline and tried to regain her composure. Marceline scooted closer to the girl, "I was only joking, you get flustered really easy." Bonnibel shifted uncomfortably.
Marceline was the first to stand up, she stretched her arms feeling pretty relaxed. She then extended her hand out to Bonnibel in a very princely manner. "Here, I'll help you clean up these books." Bonnibel seemed a little shocked by the sudden courtesy coming from Marceline, but none the less. She gracefully lifted her hand to meet contact with Marceline's. It was strange how such a short simple action felt like it had gone on for hours.
Marceline proceeded to pull Bonnibel from the floor and on her feet in one swift motion. Marceline was the first to break contact. "I don't think we have formally been introduced, I am Marceline Abadeer, the vampire queen."
Bonnibel seemed enthusiastic all of a sudden. "Are you a real vampire?"
Marceline puffed out her chest and stuck a small subtle pose. "Born and bred, my dad is Hunson Abadeer, he's the ruler of the Nightosphere."
Bonnibel was awe struck, as she moved closer towards Marceline, most likely without even realizing. "Wow, a real vampire, I used to read stories about vampires. But everyone told me that vampires don't exist." Bonnibel smiled and reached out to grab Marceline's hand and shook it vigorously. "I'm really happy to meet you, I can't wait to tell my father about this..."
It startled Marceline when Bonnibel reached over and took her hand like that, not even five minutes ago this girl was all flustered when Marceline teased her.
"So what about you, you wanna introduce yourself?"
Bonnibel snapped out of her passionate ramblings and released Marceline's hand from her clutches . "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, I get carried away a lot." She stuck out her hand in a formal manner and proceeded with her introduction. "I am Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum, my father is the ruler and king of the Candy Kingdom."
Marceline reached out her hand and shook it with the princess', though she was quick to retract her hand. She didn't want to risk the other girl breaking it in two. "A candy princess huh? That's pretty cool." Marceline tried to soothe the pain in her wrist by rubbing it, it didn't hurt too bad, in fact it barely hurt at all. Marceline just liked to be dramatic.
"Sorry did I hurt your wrist?" The princess seemed genuinely concerned, this was something Marceline was new to. "Oh yeah, it's fine. I'm still able to help you clean up these books. I wouldn't weasel out on you like that." Bonnibel smiled brightly.
The two girls then proceeded to pick up the books that were scattered there on the floor.
