The sharp and long ring of the school bell ending another class went off, an abnormally long ring. My flushed face walked swiftly out of my Language Arts class, just finishing a speech about cell membranes.

"Hey, Fionna! Wait!" I voice called out behind me. I turned around on my heel and saw Gumball, a Senior, rushing towards me with an arm full of books.

My face felt instantly hot and red all over again. "Hey Gumball," I said, trying to sound nonchalant.

"Hey, Fi. Nice speech, by the way. Its hard to find cell membranes fun, but, you pulled it off!" He said, giving me the thumbs up then awkwardly patting my head.

"T-thanks! That means a lot coming from you," I gushed, looking down at my shoes a little.

There was a brief moment of silence before he quickly said he had to go, shoving a free hand in his pocket. While I was standing there awe-strucken, looking at my strawberry pink crush walk swiftly away to his next class, a tall girl linked arms with me and pulled me along the hallway.

"Just... Fi, he's so beautiful!" Hazel, my best friend said in awe, gawking longingly at a tall, Senior boy with untidy black hair, a tall, slender figure, and a smirk permanently plastered on his face, lingering around another Senior girl, looking her over, as if sizing her up. She swept her reddish blonde hair out of her Hazel eyes as if to see him better, and practically melted on the spot. "Marshall Lee... What a hunk..! Too bad we're both Juniors.."

I rolled my round blue eyes and sighed heavily. "Hazel, you shouldn't really fall that hard for a guy like that. Even by the looks of him, he looks like real trouble. He plays with girls hearts and stuff like that." I walked slightly faster on my stubby legs to keep up with my friends long strides. "You can't even muster the courage to say anything to him." But she didn't look like she was paying any attention.

"Funny coming from you," She said, raising an eyebrow and tilting her head to where Gumball was, at his locker.

Suddenly, the loud speaker buzzed on, and on came out principal's cheery voice. "Good morning boys and girls!" She said, pausing as if waiting for them to say goodmoring back. No one said anything. "We're having a fundraiser to help with the school budget, and as I try not to go in very much detail, I want everyone to come into the gym and take a seat."

Many curious faces shrugged and made their way into the gym. Hazel tore her eyes away from the boy for a few moments just to give me a slightly confused look as we both walked down the halls into the gym.

As everyone started to take their seats, the principal, "The Ice Queen", a nickname given to her due to her rude and short temperament, had a fake smile plastered on her deathly cold looking face. "Everybody, please quiet down and take your seats... Yes, yes, sit down..." As everyone sat and started to silence themselves, The Ice Queen cleared her throat in the mic, waiting. "Alright!" She started as everyone was quiet. "Today in Hillridge Acadamy, we will be trying something we have not tried, ever, in this school. We will be auctioning off some of the most eligible bachelors in this Acadamy! Now, boys only, come up if you don't have that special someone in your life... That's right... Come on down."

The first boy to muster up the courage to make his way down was yours truly, the infamous Marshall Lee. He made his way down slowly, sauntering down the steps of the bleachers, his smirk still on his pale face. After him, several more boys made their way down, blushing, probably embarrassed that they're showing their availability to the entire school.

Hazel gasped. "Oh.. My.. GOD! Fionna! Look! He's coming down! If I knew he was single—"

"You still would be too shy to say anything," I interrupted, sweeping my light blonde hair out of my eyes.

"Please... Oh, I need him! Buy him, please!" Hazel begged her hazel eyes widening in excitement. "I'm broke, please— I'll pay you back, I swear!"

I sighed. As he walked next to the Ice Queen, she gripped his arm and started into the mic. "Bid starts at $10."

A Freshman girl raised her hand up. "$15!"

A Junior girl raised her hand. "$25!"

"$35!"

"$40!"

A pretty Senior girl that I saw usually talking to Marshall stood up. "$55!" Marshall smirked and winked at her.

Hazel gave me a desperate look. I sighed. "$60!"

The Senior girl shot me a nasty glare. "$75!"

"$80!" I shot back, returning the look.

"$90!" She said, stomping her foot.

I sighed and scratched my head. "$110!"

She grunted in anger and flipped her long brown hair in defeat and sat down.

"Going once?" The Ice Queen said smirking. "... Going twice?... Sold, to the dorky looking girl in the bunny hat!"

That's when I noticed Marshall was looking at me in complete awe—or maybe it was confusion, I don't know. Hazel squeaked in excitement.

"Thank you so much, Fi! I don't know how to repay you!"

"Maybe you should just pay me now, so I would actually have $110..." I mumbled under my breath.

"You're setting up the date, right?" She asked me eccentricity, her eyes wide.

"Well dude, I paid, I might as well set the date up too.."

"Rahh! I love you a bunches!" She squealed, pulling me into a quick hug.

"Yeah, yeah, whatevs.." I said, giving into a smile. I caught that mysterious Marshall Lee catching a glimpse at me, and flashing me one of the quickest smiles I have ever seen.
