Chapter 1
Ugh, a few more weeks till school starts, High school is going to suck! I can't believe I moved again. I guess life is just life. Oh yeah, by the way, my name is Fionna, Fionna West. I'm currently 16 years old, turning 17, and I'm going to enter my 3rd year of highschool, though I just moved here. I was adopted by an old couple, but unfortunately, they died a month ago. I had to move to this neighborhood because I had nowhere else to go, and I brought along their cat with me, her name is Cake, we are the bestest of friends. Here is my story.
Fionnas' POV
"Yes!" I said to myself as I ran home to my apartment, excitedly, I jumped upstairs and picked up my cat, Cake.
"I finally got a job, Cake! Though I'll be working at a coffee shop, I'll get enough savings so we can leave this place and go travel the world and see new things!"
I giggled; I can almost hear Cake chuckling at my excitement. I'd better get some sleep, I'll need to wake up early tomorrow for work!
~The Next Day~
BEEP BEEP, I heard my clock ring,
"Mff, just a little more sleep mom…."
I sat up, rubbing my eyes as I looked towards the clock,
"HOLY SHI-" I almost yelled out loud before stopping myself.
It was already 7:00! Work starts at 7:15! I got out of bed, and put on a blue sweater, a hand-knit white beanie, some denim jeans and black sneakers. I quickly went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth.
"Morbing Cake! I'm gobha go to work!"
I managed to sputter out with a piece of toast in my mouth, I got my green bag and headed out. I ran towards the coffee shop and bumped into a stranger,
"o-oh my god! I'm so sorry I-i didn't mean too! I'm kind of rushing t-to work right now, s-sorry again!"
I stuttered, and I only caught a glimpse of his face to know that he was quite handsome, and hauntingly familier. "Damnit Fionna, pull yourself together, you have to get to work!" I said under my breath. Luckily for me, god decided to help me today, I got to work at 7:13.
Marshalls' POV
I was walking down the sidewalk staring at the sk- wait.. why am I on the ground. It took me a while to realize some person bumped and knocked me down, she tried to apologize but I guess she was flustered. Something about her seemed very familiar… I just can't quite put my finger on it. The next thing I knew, she was running off, her blond hair trailed down to her back, wow. I watched her till I couldn't see her anymore. I stood back up and ran my hand through my hair, crap, people were staring. Haha whatever. I just kept walking on and on, I had to find something. Something very important to me, something I'd lost a long long time ago.
Fionnas' POV
Whew! Thank god, I quickly put on the black t-shirt and the green apron. The morning passed very quickly, I worked the cash register, and most of the customers were quite polite! The boss gave me a lunch break, and so I decided to go home since it was only a 10 minute walk. I took out my keys and entered my apartment, Cake immediately started rubbing on my legs.
"Haha, ok ok, I know you want your food."
I quickly fed Cake. I decided to wander around my neighborhood for a bit, just until my lunch break was over.
2 weeks passed quite quickly, the more I think about how highschool is starting in a few days, the more butterflies I get in my stomach. One day at work, I sighed while I was putting money into the cash register, then I heard a voice,
"Is something wrong?"
I looked up, and saw this handsome young man, he had jet black hair that was cut short, but long enough to reach his shoulder, he had light grey eyes, and he wore a red button-up flannel shirt with denim jeans dark enough that they're almost black, he also had on a pair of red sneakers.
We stared at each other for a few seconds,
"Oh, nothing. What would you like?"
I quickly replied after getting a good look at him.
"I'll take the strawberry cream cake please." He said,
"Of course." I replied smiling. "That will be $5.43 please." I said as I typed the order in the machine.
"It will be ready soon."
After a few minutes of waiting, he said, "hey, have we met before?"
I studied him very closely,
"OH!" I shouted, (which I think startled him) "I bumped into you 2 weeks ago! I'm so sorry!"
He grinned and said,
"don't worry, it's no big deal." Moments later, the cake came and he left. Hmm.
Marshalls' POV
I thought I would stop by Starbucks for a bit, as I entered I saw a familiar face, my eyes widened. It was Fionna, I've been looking for her ever since I regained my memories of our past life. Was it Fionna? I'm pretty sure. She had long blond hair, little freckles on her nose, and sea-blue eyes. I walked over to her and ordered a strawberry cream cake. Though I'm kind of bummed that she doesn't remember me, I don't want to rush things and make her think I'm a freak.
Oh, Fionna, what am I supposed to do now?
