CHAPTER 1

The campus was painted in bright colours, lush grass surrounding it. Her grey eyes surveyed the school, resting at a plain sign placed next to the main entrance with the words "Adventure High School, where everyday is an adventure waiting to happen" printed on it. She snorted, wrinkling her pale nose, an adventure everyday huh? Well that's unlikely. Her first impressions of the school were the same as any school, dull and stressful, she could feel her blood pressure rising, just being outside the school. Well, at least it was better than that private school her dad had tried to send her too, with all those snobby and snooty girls she thought. Man, wasn't her dad mad when she got kicked out on her first day, he was a bloody idiot to think she would last longer in there. She shook her head, it wasn't good to think of such matters on her fist day of school, reluctant to go or not. Swiftly, she dug her hands into the pockets of her black skinny jeans and slung her leather rucksack over a single shoulder, before trudging into the school.

Marceline POV

"Miss Marceline Abadeer?" The beady-eyed administrator called out.

"That's me," I sighed, unzipping my favourite red and black letterman hoodie (that had an MA printed on my breast) revealing a white tank top; it was warm inside the building.

"Righto, here's your schedule, locker number and your student pass. In your homeroom class you will be assigned a guide who will help you around the first few weeks of school," the greying woman conveyed cheerfully.

I rolled my eyes. "Is that necessary," I said exasperatedly, "I can find my own way around the school."

The administrator knitted her eyebrows together in a frown, "Every student at this school has had a buddy and you will be no different. You should be getting on your way, homeroom starts in 5."

I shrugged, showing little care.

"You're very unlike your father you know, he attended this school for a year or two when he was younger."

I froze for a second before placing the stoic mask on my face once again. That was the comment I was waiting for. I heard it at least thrice a day, reminded that I was total unlike the famous owner of the law firm Nightosphere, Hunson Abadeer. My father-the man I loved and hated. I couldn't help but feel a twinge of disappointment in my stomach that I was not living up to my father's reputation, but I needed to make it clear to everyone that I am not my father and never will be.

So I smirked, and bobbed my head, sauntering out of the tidy room, leaving the administrator in shock at my lack of reaction.

Aware I was two minutes late, I shuffled to my first class, checking my black sneakers (similar to converse) for any grime-my shoes were my pride and joy, along with my hoodie-before swinging open the classroom door. A short, balding teacher beamed at me as I stepped into the classroom

"You must be Ms Abadeer," he said approvingly "I've done business with your father's firm in the past." Holding in an eye-roll and a sigh (honestly, who didn't know my father? No matter what I do people will always compare him to me) I nodded sullenly. The teacher's smile faltered causing me to snicker, but he continued to speak.

"I'm Mr Ned and I'll be your homeroom teacher for the next year. Ms Abadeer, your guide is at a student council meeting currently, so for now just sit next to Finn over there." That's strange, I thought, a student council meeting on the first day? Whilst I was pondering, a lean blonde boy waved at me, and I blocked out Mr Ned's droning to study Finn. A cheeky smirk was plastered on his face and his sky-blue eyes were twinkling. He gave an aura of innocence and happiness, akin to a young child. In addition, Finn was wearing a ridiculous hat that resembled a skinned polar bear's head. I slumped into the plastic chair slinging my leather backpack over the back of it, sitting with an aggressively poor posture

"Hi, I'm Finn," The blonde whispered

I stared at his outstretched hand with a raised eyebrow.

"Marceline." I offered grumpily.

He smiled, "Where'd you move from? I've been here since elementary."

"Britain. I've been here for two years." Seeing an upset expression upon his face, I elaborated sourly, "Dad wanted to expand his firm, it already had a few branches over here but they weren't doing as well as he had hoped so he came over to see what he could do to improve them. He seemed to like it here after a few months so yeah…" Finn nodded, processing what I had said

"Were you moved up? You don't look like a junior." I blurted out, surprised at myself, usually I didn't speak to anyone.

"Nah I'm a sophomore, homeroom classes are mixed between juniors and sophomores. Seniors and freshmen get grouped together, the senior kind of buddy the freshmen?"

I opened my mouth in shock, "They do that? Bloody hell, don't the seniors bully the freshmen?"

"Nope, surprisingly it works the seniors really make the freshman feel integrated into the high school. "Hey, since you don't know anyone here, do you want to join my friends at lunch, we will usually hang in the canteen near the vendors? Just once and if you don't like it I'll back off okay?"

I paused, "I'll think about it" I said grudgingly, there was something about this guy, his happiness and friendliness was contagious."

Our conversation ended at the same times Mr Ned's lecture on proper school uniform, so everyone rose from their chairs and moved onto their next class. I ran my hand through my long, midnight black hair. I didn't know what to think of Finn, no one had acted so friendly towards me before. Usually, either people were only friends with me for my status and money that came with being Hunson Abadeer's daughter but Finn genuinely didn't seem to care, maybe I would go see his lame friends. They can't be that bad, I concluded.

Hi Guys, so that is the first chapter of my first story. Right now I'm on holiday so I'll post frequently (an entry every 1-2 days) but when I get back to school the entries will be once a week or less if I'm inspired.

Please Review and give constructive advice, as I know it's much needed. If there is any errors, like the timeline or incorrect use of names etc. don't hesitate to tell me. Thanks.
