Ok, guys, this is my first fanfic ever. Comments and critics are very welcome! Due to English not being my native tongue, I expect my writing to be full of typos, misplaced words, miss used tenses and so on.
Enjoy!

"Good, more boring stuff," thought Marcelline as the teacher began the new history lesson.
She sat alone on the last row in the classroom, since lately being the loner was her thing. One month has passed since they began school in September, and Marceline couldn't make a single friend. Normally she wasn't that shy, but being surrounded by strangers made her go into her shell. She expected it to be hard to fit into high school, but she didn't know it was going to be that bad.
"If only people were nicer, then that would make it a lot easier. I miss my old life. I was once the queen in school. What happened?" The bell interrupted her thoughts.
"Ok, what's next, oh yeah Maths." Mathematics was one of her favorite subjects… ok; it was her only favorite subject. She was pretty good at it; there were no douchbags in class and because of that she enjoyed every minute of it.
As she went down the hall a short blond boy started walking by her side. "How's it going, Marceline?" He said.
Finn was one year younger than her, but was some sort of genius so he went to school with her. He spent most of his time playing video games, and she didn't know where he found the time to become such a smartass.
"Well, apart from the bitch who thought that the Magna Carta was a death metal band, everything is going just fine. And I am going to math class, so I am as happy as I can be."
"Too bad we share only physics, school would be a lot more fun with you around."
"Me fun? Yeah, right."
"Stop being so antisocial, Marceline! You are awesome and the world should know about that!"
"Whatever. Later, wierdo."
Finn could be called her best friend, at least he was the closest thing to a friend she had. But she could never bare his motivational speeches.
Last year Marceline had more than just one friend. She was probably the most popular girl in school. But her dad wanted her to go to the best high school in the region, so he enrolled her in a town, 50 miles away home. She was supposed to live with her grandma, but Marceline basically lived on her own, since her grandma had another house in town. All of her past friends remained in her home town. Well she goes home every other weekend, but it still counts as long distance friendships, and they are hard to maintain.
She entered the classroom and again sat on the last row. Marceline opened her text and notebook then started solving the problems as her teacher instructed. It was quiet in the room. In all other noisy classes, Marceline didn't have time to study her classmates, but math was all peaceful so she decided that it was the right time to find some potential friends. Of all of the people in the room very few stood out. There was a girl with red hair and blue eyes, which Marceline thought was very pretty, since that was a very rare and beautiful combination. The girl had her nose stuck in her notebook, as she was furiously solving math problems.
The ringing announced the end of the school day and Marceline realized she took too much time studying one particular student.
Her leg buzzed and she took her phone out to read the sms.
"Wanna come over for some videogames? Finn."
Since she wasn't planning to do anything else this afternoon, she started walking towards Finns house.
She knocked on the door.
"Good day, Ms."
"Ah, Marceline, Finn is in his bedroom."
"Thank you," said Marceline as she walked inside. Finn's mother was the most caring woman she's ever met.
Finn was, like always, living another adventure through playing games. He sat cross-legged and was pressing all the buttons on the controller at the same time.
"Boss battle?"
"Mhm," He mumbled.
That meant "I will pay attention to you in a couple of minutes, please sit down and make yourself feel at home."
Marceline sat down on the bed and watched Finn defeat some three-headed monster.
"Hey, I really wanna show you something," he said after celebrating his victory.
"Show me what? I thought we were playing video games."
"Yes, but first check this out." Finn ran to the computer and opened some girl's Facebook profile.
"Were you Facebook stalking again?"
"No… Maybe. It doesn't matter. Just look at her! Isn't she the most beautiful thing in the world?"
Marceline looked closer. It was the redhead from math class. For a brief moment, her heart stopped. Then it started to beat two times faster than normal and her face turned red. She didn't knowwhy.
"Ok, so I got a plan. I know you know her, because you have math class together. You got to talk to her. Talk about some math stuff and then I will pop up out of nowhere, and you'll introduce me. Then I will have a reason to talk to her and invite her on a date."
"Whoa, there Romeo; that's a nice plan but please do not involve me in this."
"Come on. Please! I really like her. When she's my girlfriend, you will have another best friend besides me."
"I have other best friends!"
"Yeah, right! I'm begging you Marceline; you are my only chance…"
"Fine, but it won't be my fault if that girl is actually a bitch and breaks your little heart."
"Yay, thank you! I knew you would help me."
Now it looked like tomorrow would be pretty interesting and more awkward than ever.
First, sorry if you don't like Marceline being a math fan, but math is actually pretty awesome and if you don't agree, go read another fanfiction! :D Second, if you missed Jake, don't worry he will be appearing soon, but as actual, non talking dog :D. He will be Finns other best friend (jocose).
Fun fact: Finn was first supposed to be Marcelines annoying little brother. :D
