Hello there reader! Just a quick intro, I will hopefully upload at least two chapters a week, although I'm not promising anything. I am Canadian so I apologize in advance for any extra 'u's or the strange school system within the story. But I hope to do my best and improve as the story goes on, so sit back and enjoy! :D

A large cheer took over the awkward silence as Marceline started her song. Her band quickly picked up the pace and the music started to fill the bar. Sure it was a small bar, but it was packed. People were still waiting outside to try and get a sneak peak at Marceline and The Scream Queens.
As the crowd roared and Marceline sung, a rush of energy took over her body. Not running out until she had played about 5 more songs. Her band getting tired and restless Marceline finally strolled off the stage right as her last song finished. Fans crowded her immediately as she grinned widely, they grabbed at her, blinded her with photos, and screamed their love at the top of their lungs. And even though it seemed like a bit too much, Marceline loved every bit of it. No more school, no more fights, no more chores nothing. Finally she could live her life as she wanted.
"Marceline we love you please date me!" Girls screamed as she walked along eying her hot fans
"Ladies, ladies please there's enough Marcy to go around!" She eagerly said
"Marceline wake up!" An old man's voice yelled
"Huh?" sitting up abruptly awakened from her dream, Marceline rubbed her eyes
"Oh good you're awake! School is starting in thirty minutes and I want you to be on time! It's the first day you know!" Simon smiled warmly closing her door behind him.
"...It was just a dream...fuck" Marceline mumbled rolling out of bed
She wandered over to her closet grabbing some black skinny jeans, and a red and black striped tank top she headed downstairs.
"Marceline I made you some breakfast! I know how much you love strawberry pancakes!" Simon grinned setting a stack of them in front of her hungry eyes, dousing them in syrup
Marceline ate them quicker than Simon had set down the plate, finishing up she ran into the bathroom brushing her teeth. Heading to the door she pulled on her long red boots and grabbed her backpack.
"Later Simon!" She called closing the door
"Have a good day! Remember no fighting!" he yelled back
Marceline was leaning back on her chair as she sat in first period, math. Looking up at the board the teacher wrote down some items that they would be needing for the rest of the semester. Marceline rolled her eyes and continued to doddle in her notebook, thankfully she had been placed near the back.
It's not like Marceline didn't do well in math, in fact she was pretty good at it. It's just she hated sitting through the long discussions and having to take so many notes. Her hands weren't meant to play her guitar, not take notes of Pythagorean therm. Regardless she paid little attention to the board as the teachers deep voice seemed to be putting her to sleep. On cue the bell rang and people started to file out of the class, Marceline grabbed her bag and dashed out before the teacher could have a word with her.
As for the rest of the day Marceline had English next, lunch, Biology and finally Music. Sitting through English was bad enough having to listen to all the long boring introductions. When the bell rang Marceline practically flew out of the class and hurried to her locker. Grabbing her bag she strolled to the cafe.
"...might as well go outside.." she mumbled grabbing a Pepsi from the vending machine
You see Marceline was new to the school; she had just moved to the town of Ooo a week ago and was now enrolling in Candy Castle High School. She had no friends and wasn't really looking to make any. It's not like she had any to begin with, she was much too awkward to have any. And with the stories of her past that she imagined had gotten around already from the looks she was getting, she wasn't expecting anyone to try to be her friend anyways.
"Hey guys did you hear about that new girl?" Finn asked as he watched Marceline walk out the cafe doors outside.
"Apparently she's been expelled from like 10 lumping schools" LSP said through her chewed and which
"Seems about right she looks kinda fishy.." Jake huffed poking at his food
"Come on guys she's just got here we can't hate on her yet!" Finn argued
"Why don't you go talk to her then?" PB said raising an eyebrow
"Why don't you PB since you seem so interested!" Jake huffed again
Bubblegum glared at him but got up and pushed in her chair "Maybe I will!" and with that she headed outside
"Drama bomb!... hey Finn are you gonna eat that? LSP pointed at his pudding
"Nah you can have it" Finn muttered as he watched PB disappear to find Marceline
Marceline walked around to the back of the school, near the rafters. Sitting against a large tree she sighed and looked in her bag, finding a sandwich and chocolate bar at the bottom with a smiley face note from Simon. She chuckled to herself 'Ahhh Simon', popping open her Pepsi she took along sip.
"Hi there!" Said a peppy girlish voice
Marceline nearly choked on her drink, coughing she looked up "Gah! Fuck you scared me!"
PB bent down rubbing her back "Oh my glob! Are you ok I didn't mean to startle you!"
"...ugh.. yea I'm fine just don't go creeping up on me like that ok?" Marceline coughed squinting up at her.
"Agreed! My name is Princess Bubblegum, but you can use Bubblegum if you wish" PB smiled warmly
"Sure thing Princess, the name's Marceline" Marcy grinned
PB pouted slightly at the new nickname but ignored it and sat beside the pale girl. "So what are you doing out here?"
"Eating lunch.. you?"
"Uhm following you actually..." PB blushed
Marceline almost choked on her food, peering over at the girl, her face spoke the truth. "Uhm...why?"
"Well my friends and I wanted to know if you would like to join us, seeing as you don't really have any friends at the moment." PB smiled
"Huh...thanks but no thanks Princess, there's a reason I avoid everyone. " Marceline replied opening her chocolate bar.
'Maybe LSP and Jake were right.. but I need to make sure' PB did her best sad face ".Oh I guess I'll have to tell them the bad news...I mean you looked like you could use a friend..but I understand.." PB sighed getting up
Marceline cursed as PBs plan worked "Uhm hey I mean if it means that much to you I guess I could join you..."
PB smiled happily "You would? Oh that's wonderful!" She squealed in delight
Marceline grabbed her arm and pulled her down beside her "Look don't tell anyone I was nice to you k? I don't need you to ruin my rep around here already"
PB simply nodded happily and pulled Marceline along with her back to the cafe.
"I'm telling you guys the new kid probably killed PB! Why else would they be gone so long?!" LSP exclaimed loudly
"LSP she's been gone like 5 minutes..." Jake argued
"Yea well you never know.. " LSP mumbled
"Hey guys guess who I brought!" PB interrupted
"Hey sup?" Marceline added smoothly jamming her hands into her pockets
"This is Marceline, the new girl!" PB smiled
"Hey Marceline my name's Finn! This is LSP, Jake, and Lady but uhm she's not here right now she went to her club meeting before lunch started." Finn said introducing the group
"Cool uhm nice to meet you guys.." Marceline grinned nervously
"Here you can sit beside me if you like,ยป PB sat down and motioned for the spot next to her
Marceline did as she was told and plopped down into her seat examining the group.
LSP was a short, solid teenage girl. Her hair was in a bun and was a bright blonde with purple streaks. She was wearing white tights and a loose purple V-neck. She had big star earrings and was texting someone furiously. You could tell she was the stereotypical gossip girl in the school.
Jake was a tall lanky guy. His hair was almost a warm yellow that corresponded with his button up t shirt that was undone revealing a black t-shirt underneath. His pants were simple, torn jeans. He had sunglasses on and appeared to be well built, although the cloths hide his body. He didn't seem all too comfortable with Marceline's presence.
Finn was tall but young; he was apparently adopted by Jake's family and was his step brother. He had bright blonde hair which was partially covered by his white hoodie, with his hood pulled over his head. His blue jeans were neat but dirty. The bright green backpack on his back stood out the most. He seemed pretty chill, but had that hyper little kid attitude.
PB was a different story. She was about Marcy's height, with long almost pink hair tied in a high ponytail. Her uniform consisted of a grey vest with a white long sleeved dress shirt underneath with the sleeves rolled up. Her pink tie stood out from her grey vest, as she wore black skinny jeans. She had a nice body and a great figure but at the same time seemed to hide it well.
"So Marceline where you from?" Finn interjected breaking through her thoughts
"New York.. I moved to Canada with my guardian Simon for his work..."
"Whoa you're from America? That's sweet!" Finn smiled obviously interested
"Yea it was alright, but that city was way too crowded for me I kinda like it out here.." Marceline sighed
PB frowned, there was obviously something Marceline was hiding but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. More talking and getting closer to Marceline would be involved but it didn't sound like something she would regret. Marceline seemed so mysterious yet laid back. Definitely a mystery Bubblegum would like to solve. The bell rang loudly and the group got up to go to their classes.
"Well see you around nice meeting you guys." Marceline called as she headed to her next class
"I told you guys she was cool!" Finn cheered
"Yea whatever .." LSP muttered still texting her on again off again boyfriend Brad
"So how was your first day?" Simon asked breaking the silence
Marceline slurped her spaghetti, "It was alright I met some people"
"Oh that's good! Making new friends that's a good sign" Simon nodded surprised
"Yea I wouldn't really call them friends, once they know my past they'll be gone faster than I can explain myself" Marceline sighed
"Oh now come on Marceline not everyone is going to judge you..."
Marceline hastily got up putting her plate in the sink, "Yea well you tell that to the last five schools I've been to this year..."
Simon sighed rubbing his eyes, "One day Marce one day I promise I'll get you some friends.."
Marceline strummed her bass not really playing a certain song she just liked the sounds of it so far. Sighing she sat on her window sill overlooking the small city that glowed in the distance. She missed her old home but it certainly didn't miss her. She hummed softly to a random tune as she closed her eyes and imagined herself back home.
About an hour later she gave up on the lost hope and climbed into bed after stripping her dirty cloths and lazily tossing them to the ground. She didn't really care what happened anymore, she was done with moving so much. She just wanted to graduate high school already so she could move out and settle down somewhere nice away from the chaos which was her life.
"Someday I'll be free..." Marceline yawned closing her eyes and letting her dreams take her to where happiness was hidden.
