"Bonnibel! Get up or you'll be late!"
Bonnibel groaned at the thought of getting up but couldn't resist the smell of freshly cooked pancakes. She opened her blinds looking out at the rain miserably falling onto her window showering the town.
"BONNIBEL!"
"I'm up, I'm up!"
Her father had made the decision to move when her mother had passed away last year. Their old home was too depressing to bare, filled with memories of the happy days. Bonnibel missed her mother and it did make her unhappy but she didn't want to move, she had to leave her friends, her boyfriend and her sunny town behind. Bonnie didn't understand why they had to move to a cold dreary place to be happy, she hated the cold and rain.
She looked in the mirror brushing her slightly faded pink hair, her dad thought her sudden change in hair right after her mother's death was a cry for help when in reality she just liked the colour. She was scared of being the new kid half way through year eleven, she tried to think of what person she could be in her new town. She could make up any persona and stick to it. After trying a few different hairstyles and makeup techniques and rummaging through her closet she just decided to wear her hair down, light makeup, pale blue skinny jeans and a pink hoodie. She wasn't trying to impress anyone.
Bonnibel ran down the stairs to eat breakfast but instead found herself being hugged by her crying dad.
"I'll drop you off today, good luck sweetie."
"Thanks dad."
"And you call me if you need me okay?"
"Yes dad." By this point Bonnie was embarrassed and unamused. She didn't want her father to worry about her, she was fine. Her dad pulled away from the hug holding her shoulders looking at Bonnie while she looked anywhere but him.
"Be careful of boys that only want to use you."
Bonnibel pushed her way out of her dads grip and walked to the door.
"I'd like to go to school now."
"What about your pancakes?"
"I'm not that hungry, I'll eat them for dinner or something."
Bonnibel was lying, she was quite hungry but she couldn't stand her dad's strong affection.
Walking quickly through the halls trying not to get pushed over Bonnibel looked at the map she was given trying to find her homeroom.
"12A, 12B, 12C! 12C must be it right? It just say's 'C' on my timetable."
Bonnibel sighed as she walked into the empty classroom finding a seat next to the window in the back. She hated not knowing where everything is and having no one to help her. She studied her timetable looking at what lessons she had today, science first up, then home economics then a free. She was looking forward to science, it was the only subject she felt she really understood. She dreamed of being a successful scientist when she was older, she didn't know what she wanted to study exactly but she knew science was her sanctuary.
The bell rang and everyone rushed in easily finding their seats and talking amongst themselves. Everyone went quiet when the homeroom teacher entered, she talked about what was going on in the school and called the roll. Bonnie ignored the fact that her name wasn't called out and assumed she just wasn't on their system yet being her first day.
The homeroom door once again opened, she ignored it still staring out the window but couldn't ignore the hand she felt touch her shoulder.
"Hey darling, you're in my seat."
Bonnie turned her head and looked up into emerald green sparking eyes. Before her was a pale skinned girl, tall and slim with luscious black long locks falling down her back.
Everyone stared as Bonnibel blankly stated, "But I was here first."
The class started whispering to themselves, Bonnie blushed as the taller girl knelt down rummaging through her bag pulling out a timetable that looked much like hers and showing her. She was right, it clearly stated 12C row 1 seat 4.
"I think you're in the wrong classroom sweetie."
Bonnibel turned red in embarrassment as she quickly picked up her possessions and ran out the door. She could hear people laughing but she didn't dare to stop to look back.
Bonniebel kept running until she reached the other side of the corridor, she didn't want to go anywhere near that classroom. Once again she looked at her timetable realizing she was on an entirely different floor to where her classroom was and she had been sitting in a year 12 homeroom. She decided that it would be best if she didn't go to homeroom that day. Bonnie's curiosity got the better of her as she wandered the empty school halls and found a small staircase. As she walked up them she found a little door with a 'no student access ' sign above the door, proceeding to open the door she found herself on the roof of the school. She stepped out of the doorway onto the roof and was taken by the beauty of the towns view. Enjoying the lack of rain and slight appearance of the sunlight making its way through the clouds she forgot about what had happened earlier and was caught in pure bliss.
Bonnie's happiness was ruined when she tried to open the door and it wouldn't budge, she tried pulling it as hard as she could and it wouldn't open. She wondered if that day could possibly get any worse. Not knowing what to do and not wanting to call her dad she sat against the wall listening to music with her eyes closed and enjoying the vitamin D.
After a bit over an hour of boredom she heard the door creek open and to her surprise it was the pale skinned, dark haired girl from earlier looking at her holding the door open. She stared at her as she could now get a better look at her, she was wearing black sknny jeans and a red shirt with writing on it that she couldn't properly make out.
"Are you okay?"
Bonnie realized that she was probably staring at the girl for a while now and stood up relieved that she might just catch the rest of her science lesson.
"You're in my seat then you're in my hiding spot, you're starting to become a bit of a nuisance missy."
Bonnie walked over to her with a blank expression on her face obviously not impressed.
"Well luckily for you, you won't have to deal with this nuisance anymore."
Just before Bonnie could reach for the door handle the girl let go and it slammed shut, Bonnie gasped trying to catch it and once again trying to force it open.
"Whoops." The dark haired girl had a grin on her face that annoyed Bonnie.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU DO THAT? NOW WE ARE TRAPPED HERE!"
"Oh no, what a shame." She giggled to herself.
"You think this is funny?"
"A little."
"Oh yes, hilarious!" The sarcasm in Bonnibel's voice made the other girl giggle once again.
"You're cute when you're frustrated."
Bonnie felt herself blush out of the sudden annoying compliment that she didn't want.
"I wont be so cute when I throw you off this roof!"
"Ooh harsh princess." The smirk returned.
"Hey don't call me that!"
Bonnie returned to trying to force the door open.
"Well good luck with that." The mysterious girl began to walk away with her hands in her back jean pockets.
"Why do you keep following me? Shouldn't you be in class?"
The girl stopped in her tracks without turning around.
"Shouldn't you?"
"I would be if I wasn't stuck here."
The girl turned around to face Bonnie.
"Awh, couldn't princess find her classroom?"
Bonnibel turned red and aggressively pushed past her walking to the other side of the roof.
"Hey, you're cute when you're embarrassed too."
Bonnie ignored the stranger and decided to keep walking, she could feel the other girl following her.
"My names Marceline, I come up here whenever I can to get away from everything, it's just a bonus to find a cute girl up here."
"Stop calling me cute!"
"Well maybe if you tell me your name I'll have something else to call you."
"It's Bonnibel."
"What a cute name."
Bonnibel turned around with a 'you're dead to me' look on her face, "Ugh could you be any more annoying?"
She watched in surprise as Marceline didn't argue, she just put on her bulky headphone's not saying a word. Bonnie decided to look away although she could feel Marceline's eyes still on her. She tried not to but she couldn't help but to look back to confirm that Marceline was staring at her getting caught in her gaze.
"Miss me already?"
Bonnie cocked an eyebrow to Marceline who did the same back to her.
"If I didn't know any better, I'd think you were flirting with me Marceline."
"Well who could resist a cutie like you?"
Bonnie could feel her cheeks feel hot and redden. Marceline tapped on the ground next to her inviting Bonnibel to sit with her.
"I'm just messing with you princess."
Bonnie felt relieved and disappointed at the same time, she knew she didn't like girls at all but she did appreciate Marceline's beauty. Bonnie tried to resist but went and sat with Marceline anyway. They sat in silence until Bonnie gained the courage to talk.
"So before you said you come up here to get away from everything."
Marceline didn't say anything, instead she turned to look at Bonnie, Bonnie tried to resist but was once again caught in her beautiful gaze. She noticed that Marceline's eye had a slight blue tinge as well as green.
"What are you getting away from?"
"Mostly people I guess."
"Do you get bullied or something?"
Marceline giggled at Bonnie's look of concern.
"No I don't get bullied, I just find people annoying and need time to myself sometime."
"I can go sit somewhere else if I'm annoying you?"
"And here I was thinking I was the annoying one."
Bonnie to stand up to give Marceline some space but before she could walk away she felt a cold hand take hers, Marceline pulled her back and she fell back into Marceline's lap. Marceline looked at her with a smirk, Bonnie could feel herself blushing.
"I don't mind being alone with you."
Bonnie's entire face turned red and hot but she couldn't stop looking into Marceline's eyes.
"You're blushing princess."
Bonnie squirmed out of Marceline's grip sitting up with her back to Marceline in embarrassment.
"You're really attractive and I'm flattered but I'm really not interested."
Marceline moved in closer to Bonnie who was still facing away from her.
"You think I'm attractive?"
"I'm not gay."
"Woah, way to jump to conclusions."
"So you're not gay?"
Marceline didn't reply, Bonnie turned around to find a grin on her face.
"You think I'm attractive."
"Oh shut up."
Bonnie started to notice the light rain followed by some heavier drops.
"IT'S GOING TO RAIN!"
Bonnie stood up and ran to the door trying to yank it open, Marceline slowly followed.
"What are you doing?"
"Trying not to get drenched!"
"If only we had a key."
"You really are a genius Marceline."
"Sarcasm?"
Bonnie looked at Marceline intending to give her a 'duh' kind of look but instead she saw the key dangling from Marceline's fingers.
"YOU HAD A KEY THIS WHOLE TIME?"
"I guess I did."
"How do you have a key to the school?"
"Stole it from a teacher my first year here, how else did you think I come up here all the time?"
Bonnie stomped over to Marceline.
"Well what are you waiting for? Open the door!"
"I'm not sure I want to."
"Are you insane? Why?"
"Because then my princess will run away."
"I'm not your anything."
Bonnie tried to grab the key from Marceline's hands but she raised it higher.
"Hey not so fast, this key comes at a price"
"And what would that be?"
"A little kiss on the cheek, right here."
Marceline pointed to her cheek with a slight wink.
"What? No way!"
"Well I guess you're just going to have to enjoy the rain."
Marceline turned around to walk away from her then stopped by an expected,
"Wait!"
Marceline turned around with a grin on her face leaning down pointing to her cheek. Bonnie leaned in to give her a kiss on the cheek but before she knew it Marceline had turned her face to kiss her on the lips holding her cheek. Bonnie was shocked at how much she enjoyed Marceline's soft lips but at the same time kissing a girl scared her. After a while she jumped backwards out of the kiss and took the key from Marceline's hand. She ran to the door unlocking it and running out without looking back or saying another word.
