Hello fellow Adventure Time fanfictioners! This story takes place in an AU much like ours. Many of Adventure Time's characters are in Highschool and this fic will mostly focus of MarcelinexBubblegum but I hope to put in characters such as Marcie's Dad (Hudson Abadeer), Finn, Jake, Flame Princess, Lumpy Space Princess, Lady Rainicorn, Ice King (Simon Petrikov), and more in future chapters.
Marceline and Bubblegum are both human and 16 year old tenth graders in this fic. I also made Finn around 14 and Jake around 18. I know I messed up the ages but I wanted them all to be in school together. (I also made jake and the rest of the characters human)
The title is a lyric from one of my favorite songs- Sparks by t.A.T.u
This is more of a Prologue than a chapter but whatever.
Please review and tell me if I should continue or not! This is my first time writing fanfiction so any critiques or criticisms would be greatly appreciated!
I, of corse, own nothing. These characters belong to Pendleton Ward.

Chapter 1 Friendship Would be Nice
Marceline glumly stared into space, bored beyond compare. She alway held a strong dislike for school. It's structure too rigid and rules too tempting to break. But tenth grade chemistry was in a league of its own. Not only was the class dull but Marceline shared this course with her. Little miss perfect. Marceline glanced over at Bonnibel, her face showing intense focus as she jotted down notes about her favorite subject. Not that she needed notes. Bonnibel had already taught herself the school chemistry curriculum, she was an honors student, and her impeccable grades left even the nerdist dorks impressed. Bonnibel didn't have many friends. She was polite but never let anyone get close to her. She kept acquaintances but not many close friends. Most students though she was a 'perfectionist' and 'uptight'. Marceline had originally found the girl annoying because of those qualities, but as of late she had developed a crush on the girl she once found to be irritating.
She is so cute when she's focused Marceline thought dreamily. Wait a second What? Were the bunk did that come from? Not cute shes um...just...seems..ugh..smart...yea smart! Marceline rationalizes while blushing, hiding her face against her desk. She couldn't remember when her disdain for the girl had become attraction. Marceline was yet to acknowledge her ever growing crush on the blonie with pink streaks in her hair. Maybe I can ask Bonnibel to tutor me, It'll give me a good excuse to - Marceline caught herself before thinking another unwanted thought …...to, ugh, spend time with her to...become friends! Yes! I want to become friends with her, not become her girlfriend! Marceline assured herself in denial. Its not like I think she pretty or attractive or smart or adorably nerdy, or caring, or sweet, or -
The bell cut off the sixteen year olds revealing thoughts. The students started to file out of the classroom heading to their next classes. Marceline stood up, slung her black and red checkered messenger bag over her shoulder, and started to head towards the door. She exited the classroom and took a sharp left accidentally crashing into Bonnibel. The girls papers flew everywhere.
Oh my glob, Oh my glob, Oh my glob, what do I do, I'm such a clutz! Just play it cool! Marceline thought frantically while bending down to gather her crush's school papers. Once they were all collected, the nervous girl handed Bonnibel the papers, still crouching on the ground.
"Thank you. Do you need a hand up?" Bonnibel said with a polite smile while leaning over and offering her hand. Marceline reached up and took the blonds hand in hers, standing up. The flustered girl stood and awkwardly trying to act casual and not think about how soft Bonnibel's hand was.
"Um...thanks Bonnibel" Marceline fumbled, Is she expecting me to say something else? Be cool. What should I say, I can't focus with those beautiful eyes scrutinizing me! I mean no not beautiful, no! I don't think they are beautiful! Not that other people don't think they're beautiful, all of Bonnibel is beautiful, no wait thats not what I meant, I mean she is attractive... for other people not me, i'm not attracted to her! Marceline panicked and opted for silence instead of saying something stupid.
"Its fine, I'm sorry too, for running into you, my mind is usually elsewhere after such a riveting class" Bonnibel apologized. Tucking a loose strand of her strawberry blond hair behind her ear.
"Riveting yes...um" Marceline yet again panicked and spouted the first thing that came to mind "What happens to nitrogen when the sun rises? It turns into daytrogen."
Stupid, Stupid, Stupid. Where did that idiotic joke come from? So much for playing it cool, She thought glumly, but to her surprise (and delight) Bonnibel cutely giggled into her hand and flashed a genuine smile.
"That one was pretty cheesy, but I can enjoy a cheesy jokes every so often." The blond said.
She thought it was funny! Score! Now I just have to ask if she'll tutor me.- Yet again Marceline's thoughts were interrupted by the bell.
"Oh no! I will be late for German class! I must go! Thanks again...Marcella!" Bonnibel voiced.
"Its Marceline!" she called down the hallway after her crush.
"I'll see you around Marceline" Bonnibel shouted back across the hallway.
The sixteen year old leant against a locker then sunk to the ground with a dreamy look on her face, not caring that Bonnibel didn't remember her name. She said 'see you around!' and she thought I was funny! I have to make this re- I mean...friendship work. Marceline fantased about hanging out with Bonnibel. Maybe watching a horror movie, so scary that Bonnibel would shriek and grab her arm for protection. Marceline's innocent day dream was interrupted when she remember she was late for freestyle music club, an elective that her freshman friend Finn had started. She grabbed her bag and headed off to the the music room.
