Hello! Thank you for stumbling upon my story. I do hope you'll enjoy it. I decided to make this a high school AU, so Cake's not a cat, Marshall Lee isn't a vampire, and Gumball isn't made of gum. But I'm making it as close as possible. I have some really good ideas for this story, but I really would appreciate some help or ideas from you guys. So, here it goes. :)
"Cake, do I have to go? You know how much I hate being the new kid," Fionna whined.
"Yes, baby. But in order to do so, you have got to get out of bed and brush your hair. I can't have my sister looking like a zombie at school. That would ruin my reputation!" the sassy teen replied jokingly.
"Gee, thanks a lot," Fionna grumbled.
She managed to roll herself out of bed and into the shower. Fifteen minutes later, she emerged wearing a short blue skirt, a white blouse with a light blue sweater, knee high socks and black Mary Jane's. Her long blond hair was pulled neatly into a ponytail and her bangs were kept out of her face with a clip that had bunny ears on it. She looked at herself in the mirror. 'Not bad for my first day of school.' she thought to herself.
"Hurry up, sugar, or we're gonna be late!" her sister shouted from downstairs.
"I'm coming!" Fionna replied.
She grabbed her backpack and her wallet and ran downstairs. After a quick breakfast, Fionna and Cake left to walk to school.
"So what's this school like?" Fionna inquired. She had just moved here from her parents' home and although she hated leaving her old school and best friends behind, she understood why she had to.
"It's just like any other school. You know- stupid teachers, crowded hallways, and the cliques. You've got the jocks, the preps, the nerds, the punks, and then the fabulous people like me who hang out with everyone. There are some perks, though. Most of the guys are hawt, and the food's not that bad either," Cake explained.
Fionna took this time to look at her sister. She was wearing a light pink skirt, a white blouse with a pink striped tie, knee high socks and black flats. Her medium length dirty blond hair with kept back with a pink bow. She had just a little bit of pink eye shadow on, but it really brought out the dark cocoa color of her eyes.
"I'm sure you'll be fine. You're too lovable to not make friends," Cake reassured her. Fionna let out a sigh as they approached the school building. Cake turned around and put a hand on Fionna's shoulder.
"Look, I know this move was hard on you, but at least try to make some new friends. And remember, if you need me, I'm always a text away," she said. Fionna hugged her sister tightly.
"Thanks, Cake. I'll be okay," she said.
With one last look, Cake turned from her sister and walked off to find her friends. Fionna took a deep breath, and walked towards the school. She arrived at the office minutes later, and after receiving her schedule and locker combination, she took off in search of her homeroom.
"Room 213, room 213. Geez, how big can this school be?" she muttered to herself. She was hopelessly lost. She took out her map of the school and examined it. "Let's see, I just passed 522 which is…here, so that means room 213 is…on the fourth floor. Great. That's just my luck." Without looking where she was going, she took off in search of the stairs.
"So if that's 523 then the stairs are right over the- OOF!" Fionna exclaimed as she fell backwards. It felt like ran into a brick wall, but looking up, she realized it wasn't a brick wall but a person. He was helping her up when she finally stumbled back into reality.
"Ohmigosh, I'm sorry dude! I guess I should have been looking where I was going. Like I said, I'm really sorry! I totally did not mean to," she apologized. She stopped to look at the man she bumped into. He was tall, but not too tall. He was wearing black slacks, a white button-up with the sleeves rolled up, a red plaid tie, and black converse. He had shaggy black hair which hung in front of his equally onyx eyes. His skin was deathly pale but it only seemed to further his attractiveness. 'Cake wasn't lying. These guys really are hawt.' Fionna thought.
"Are you lost, Bunny?" he asked in a deep voice.
"Yeah, just a little. It's my first day and I don't really know where I am," she replied shamefully as the stranger took the schedule from her hands.
"Hmm. Looks like we have homeroom, gym, lunch, and English II together. Aren't you lucky? Just follow me and I'll show you where you need to go," he said flirtatiously and winked. Fionna blushed, not used to having attention from the male population.
"Well, are you coming or are you just gonna stare at me all day?" he asked.
Fionna snapped out of her trance and followed the tall male. After what seemed to be fifteen flights of stairs and an extremely awkward silence, they arrived at their destination. They stepped into a small classroom that was only big enough for 15 desks plus the teacher's stuff. Fionna followed the stranger to the back of the class and sat down. From the moment she walked in, she could feel the death glares from the other female students. She just didn't understand why she was getting them. She turned to ask her new friend about it when the teacher interrupted her.
"Good morning, students. I will be your homeroom teacher for this year. Now be quiet as I take the roll." She went through the list of students before she called Fionna's name.
"Here!" she exclaimed but not too loudly.
"Marshall Lee? Dear Lord, why this student?" she said exasperated, looking towards the sky as if she were talking to God.
"Nice to see you too, Mrs. Ice Queen," the stranger said. 'So that's his name, Marshall Lee.' Fionna wondered.
"Well at least it's only homeroom. Alright students, today is an even day, so go to your even day classes. I suggest that you don't be late because four tardies equals a Saturday School. The bell will ring in ten minutes. Until then, do whatever. Just don't get loud." she said then returned to the novel she was reading at her desk.
Fionna took this time to fully look at her schedule.

"Psst. Hey, Bunny, back here," Marshall Lee whispered from behind Fionna. She turned around to see a devilish grin.
"You know, Marshall, I have a name," she protested.
He chuckled. "I'm sure you do, but I like calling you Bunny. So anyway, since you're new here, I've taken it upon myself to show you around. We wouldn't want you getting lost again, now would we?" he said in a patronizing tone. Fionna scoffed at this.
"I can get around just fine without you, thank you very much. I'm not totally helpless," she argued.
"I know, but I'm still gonna show you around mainly because there are some people you might bump into that you shouldn't get mixed up with," he replied, worry evident in his tone.
"Like who?"
"Like this girl named Ashley. She's a major bitch and will ruin your life if you so much as look at her," he explained.
When the bell rang, thy gathered their stuff and rushed out of the classroom.
"So where to next, Bunny?"
Fionna growled then chose to ignore it. "Umm, I have Chemistry in room 330."
Marshall Lee walked her to her class while explaining many things about the school. He explained why there were five floors, who are the worst teachers, and which clique he was part of.
"I'm classified as a punk. I'm a grade A prankster and don't even get me started on my reputation with the teachers. Just wait 'til we get our new English II teacher next month. That will be a trip!" he exclaimed. "Well, here you go, Bunny. I'll be back by the end of class since I'm just down the hall. If you meet Bubba, don't let him bore you to death."
"Alright, I won't. Thank you, though," she said. Then as he turned to go to his class, she got an evil idea.
"Bye, Marshy!" she called out. She saw him freeze, but entered the classroom before he could do anything.
Tbc. Like I said, constructive criticism would be useful, just don't be rude about it.
