When Bonnibel first saw her she couldn't help but be in awe. The woman's red lips were pulled in sneer. Her thin pale stomach peaked out from her ripped black top, chains adorned her neck, wrists, and even ears. Bonnie didn't miss the guitar case strapped to her back nor the way her perfectly manicured hands were currently giving some guy the middle finger. Her nails were painted the same shade of her waist length hair, black.

Then that beautiful woman disappeared around a corner.

Bonnie adjusted her pink skirt and crisp white blouse. She couldn't help but think how opposite that woman was to her in every way.

Before she could get to lost into her thoughts some one crashed straight into her. Their arms wrapped tightly around her stomach in a hug. She caught a glimpse of multicolored hair and knew who it was.

"Ah, Rainey you can let me go now." She squeaked from her friends grasp. The Korean woman let her go with a huge smile on her face.

"Oh, you dyed your hair again. It looks nice." Bonnie commented taking in Rainey's rainbow streaks in her bleached out blonde hair. The wild waves bounced with the woman they belonged too.

Bonnie had never dyed her hair. She never liked the appeal of it standing out. Well, it already did that. Her hair was a strawberry blonde, however it leaned more towards red and pin straight. People already asked her if she dyed it.

"Yeah I did! Jake was there but he wouldn't let me dye his. Oh well. Anyway! How are you Bonnie?" Rainey smiled as she paused to breathe.

"I'm fine. Nervous is all. First year jitters." She said shrugging making sure her satchel stayed on her shoulder. Bonnie smoothed any stray hairs that might have escaped her tight bun.

"Your bun is fine. It's so perfect you might get mistaken for a professional. Well, if not for the pastel pink skirt. Maybe still. Who knows. Hey! Let's get to English class already."

Rainey latched onto Bonnibel's freckled hand and pulled her to the hall.

Bonnibel let out a breath she hadn't realized she had been holding. Deep breaths, she reminded herself. Rainey had picked her seat right next to her. It was on her left. The seat right to her was empty. Bonnie hoped it might stay that way. There where plenty of seats open in the class. This was advanced English, so a select handful of students were there. Bonnibel was proud to say she was a proud all A's student, she knew college was different from highschool and summer classes but it was still schooling. Bonnibel may have difficulties in other aspects of her life but school was not one of them.

The professor has yet to enter the class yet so their was a small roar of chatter amongst students.

Rainey had launched into a dramatic retelling of her most recent family dinner and how ridiculous her parents were. Bonnie paid as much attention as her short attention span would allow. She made sure to nod and smile at the right parts.

A tap on her shoulder, and she turned with her eyebrows furrowed.

It was the beautiful woman she had saw before class.

"Bubblegum, I'm taking this seat next to you." Without further warning a loud thump of the woman flopping into the seat sounded in the classroom. The smell of cinnamon and cigarette smoke filled her nostrils.

Bonnibel turned her entire body to face the woman.

"Excuse me, did you just call me bubblegum?"

"I did. I mean, you're so pink. It suits you, bubblegum." A smug look crossed the woman's face.

"Bonnibel."

She arched her brows and turned her head. "What?"

"My name. My name is Bonnibel, or Bonnibel." She elaborated.

The dark haired woman shrugged. "Okay."

"What's yours?"

"None of your business, princess." An overly sweet, exaggeratedly sweet, smile sat on the woman's face.

Miffed Bonnie faced forward and huffed. She saw the professor enter the room and she got her notebook ready. -

As they switched out classes Rainey walked beside her clutching her binder to her chest.

"So who was tall, dark, and gorgeous who sat next to you?"

"Apparently her name is None and her middle and last names are, of your business. So I don't know. She was kinda rude. She called me bubblegum and was really sarcastic." Bonnie pulled out her rose colored cardigan from her bag.

Rainey shrugged and tucked a strand of her hair behind her ear, her slanted dark brown eyes focused on Bonnie as she wrinkled her nose.

"Maybe she was having a bad day. Perhaps she will sit somewhere else tomorrow?"

Bonnie shook her head.

"I highly doubt it. Professor McClellan was pretty adamant about staying in the seat you choose today. "

Rainey smiled. "Well at least your stuck with me for the semester."

She breathed a laugh as she stopped to put on her cardigan.

"Yeah, I'm not sure if that's a curse or a blessing."

Rainey put a hand on her chest, or the face of the kitten on her oversized sweater, and gasped.

"I am offended. You love me Bonnibel."

"Sadly, I do."

Rainey playfully punched her in the arm.

"Kidding, kidding."

The continued walking down the hallway. "What do you have left?"

Bonnie pulled out her phone.

"Just my Algebra course. But that's only a fourth five minute one. I'm done for the day."

Rainey worked her mouth side ways.

"Lucky. I have Chemistry, Probability, and Spainsh."

Bonnie clicked her tongue. "I told you, you should have taken those summer classes with me."

"But I was on vacation..." She whined. "Not everyone loves school." Rainey sighed.

"Yeah, yeah. I'll meet up with you in the mess hall around five okay?"

"Okay Bon, I see you then."

They parted ways with a wave.

Bonnibel shook her head as she entered Algebra.
