When her parents told her they were going to move from their old house, and she would have to change schools, she was saddened. She would have to leave her old friends behind, they would become distant memories in only a short while. But her parents comforted her with the idea that she could make new friends, maybe even get to know someone special. Bonnibel thanked whatever divine being out there for having such good parents.

Now, this school can't be that bad! maybe a few delinquents since it's not a private school with security and such, but nothing more.

Bonnibel would realise soon how wrong her assumption was.

"Hmm..first class is history..room 12?" Bonnibel wandered around, talking to herself. In her haste, she failed to see the body coming towards her, and collided right into them, she closed her eyes bracing for the fall.

Nothing. She slowly opened her eyes to see that the person she collided into caught her before she fell. The boy was definitely taller than her, probably around 6 feet. He had dirty blond hair that he pulled back in a bun, and a neat beard. 'He probably trimmed it every day'. Bonnibel thought. The boy scowled at her first, then he sniffed twice before breaking into a smile, "Sorry about that, good thing I caught ya. I'm Jake." He extended his hand so she would take it, and she did. "Bonnibel, I'm new here, trying to find room 12." she said hastily, god forbid she'd be late on her first day to this new school. "Oh cool, you have history with me! wanna go together?" Bonnibel nodded, following after Jake as he stuffed his hands in his pockets.

When Bonnie entered the classroom, she noticed different faces scattered around. The classroom wasn't full, so that either meant people were absent, or she was early.

Jake took a seat next to a girl who had her hair dyed in rainbow colors, the taller boy whispered something in the girl's ear, making her beam at Bonnie from her seat. There was another girl that had fiery red hair, and freckles all over her nose and cheekbones. Bonnibel started walking toward a seat next to the girl that sat next to Jake, as she had invited her. The girl was on her right, and on her left was another boy that had a weird hat on his head, his hair poked from underneath it. 'Another blond'. Bonnie thought. Her train of thought, however, was cut short.

"Hey! you're new here right? Jake here told me about you. I'm Leidi." rainbow girl said, extending her hand toward Bonnie. Bonnie took it, shaking it and smiling at the girl "I'm Bonnibel. Your name's Korean right? means Lady." Bonnie said matter-of-factly, Leidi was shocked at first before she smiled at Bonnie. "Yes! my grandmother named me, my father's Korean but my mother is American."

'That's why she doesn't look Asian.' Bonnibel wasn't racist, but come on! how many Koreans had pale skin and grey eyes? well, it would probably depend on-'Bonnibel shook her head, 'not the time.'

Leidi proceeded to tell Bonnie about the people that were present in the classroom: "That's Phoebe, she has a temper, but other than that she's really nice." Bonnie looked back as rainbow girl pointed to the redhead, the redhead looked up 'she had light green eyes' Bonnie noted, and Phoebe smiled. The girl had a sleeve-less orange shirt on, probably because of the heat."That's Luna, but everyone just calls her LSP." Leidi now pointed to another girl with purple hair. 'What's with these people and hair dye?' Bonnibel wondered, but then she looked at LSP again and noticed that everything the girl had on was purple, even the nail polish. All this was not allowed in her old school, seems this school is more lenient. "And that's Finn. He's Jake's younger brother." She pointed to the boy on Bonnibel's left, she looked at him and he smiled, she smiled back politely. Finn looked to be taller than her, but not as tall as Jake, and he was thin, unlike his muscular brother. She still didn't know why he wore that hat. It covered his neck too! he has to be burning up.

Leidi asked Bonnie to join them for lunch later, to which Bonnie nodded and smile. It was a good thing to start making friends so early.

After their history lesson concluded, with the teacher giving them the pages they needed to read, everyone stood and head to the door, except for a girl that sat in the back, Bonnibel noted. 'I hadn't noticed her before.' she thought to herself, she seemed to be doing a lot of that lately, even more so than usual.

The girl was so pale she seemed ill, and her hair was as black as the night itself, her body seemed healthy however, like someone who balanced their diet and went to the gym twice a week or something. The only thing that really made Bonnie contemplate was how the girl was dressed, it wasn't the color of her clothes, no. But she was dressed in a jacket that wasn't thick but still seemed too hot for this weather, and her pants were down to her ankles, when everyone wore shorts and miniskirts.

When Bonnie caught up with Leidi, the girl finally emerged. And so Bonnie did what she thought was natural and asked Leidi about her, the expression on rainbow girl's face morphed into fear before quickly changing to anger, she looked back at Bonnie "That's Marceline, you should stay away from her." Bonnie would listen to that, she was new to this school and she should stay away from delinquents.

Three hours later and it was lunch. Bonnibel liked the teachers she got, the same couldn't be said about her friends, however. They all slumped down on the chairs to their respectable table in the cafeteria, it looked as if it was reserved specially for them.

"Another one?!" Jake ripped a paper from the wall next to him, it had someone's picture printed on it, a missing person no doubt. "How many does it make now?" Finn asked nervously, Jake slammed his fist on the table, making Bonnie jump.

"Ten." he said, gritting his teeth. Everyone around the table sighed, at Bonnie's confused look, Leidi started talking: "There have been a few students going missing. In December it was two, then four in January, then another four this month." February was nearly at its end, it was the 26th today. "I'm pretty sure sh-I mean they'll strike again." Finn said, confirming Bonnie's suspicions of a serial killer or a kidnapper going around, it was a big town after all.

Jake gritted his teeth again, nodding. He seemed to be way too angry about this, perhaps he lost someone dear to him to this mysterious kidnapper.

Jake told her to stay home at night, and she told her parents too. They locked their door and her father loaded his two guns, giving one to Bonnie's mother. When Bonnie looked out her window, she thought she saw someone running across the roof of another house, but she blamed it on the lights reflecting on the window and playing tricks on her. After all, it would be impossible for a human to run that fast and jump without getting hurt.

The next day, after Bonnie attended her lessons, she sat at the usual table with the gang. She looked around the table before she blurted, "Everyone looks exhausted, what's wrong?" Jake was nodding off the most, he apparently had insomnia. But that didn't explain why the rest of them had bags under their eyes, she decided to keep her curiosity at bay and not ask them about it.

When lunch was over, she headed towards her next class. It was Biology, so it'd be in the lab for sure. When she entered the lab, there was only one seat vacant, and she gulped when she saw who her partner would be.

Marceline.
