Wow, thanks for all the follows and reviews, and sorry about taking so long to update i have been sorting out life. To be honest, i was not really sure where i wanted to go with this and I tried writing this chapter multiple times, but i finally think i got it! =D I will try updating more often :3 Enjoy!

Chapter 2:

Her alarm went off at 7 o'clock, chiming for about 5 seconds before she hit the sleep button. It had only been a week but the privilege of going to a new school had already worn off. She sat up slowly and sleepily staring at the wall in front of her for a few minutes.

This whole 'school' thing is too easy... I'm basically learning at the same level as what I did last year... before I moved.

But then again... she did seem to be wasting a lot more of her time on other people, constantly asking her questions about "Where did you come from?" "What it was like to be at a private school?" "What did you do?" For the first time, she was actually being forced to converse with people, which for her, could take some getting used to. Pulling her sheets back and hopping up, she went straight to the bathroom to fix herself up.

Lucky for her, her first class on Monday also happened to be her favourite, which gave her some motivation to get to school. She didn't know what it was, but even the look of the science classroom made her happy, it was something she could happily study for hours.

Everyone was seated and the teacher had just entered the classroom, she got out all her work books in preparation, the class was about to begin when another student walked through the door.

Marceline?

For the past week, Bonnibel had never seen her in the science class before, nor did she even expect her to do science. And never mind that, she was actually on time? Even from the one English class they have together, Bonnie knew that this never happened. Walking in quietly and undisruptively, Marceline sat a few spaces away from where Bubblegum was.

The teacher looked momentarily, almost expecting a smart comment, but as the dark haired girl proceeded to get out her books and notes. The teacher continued to introduce the topic, not wanting to question her attentiveness.

Bonnie finished her work early, she had already learnt all the things that were taught in the class. It seemed as though a previously promising lesson turned into a giant time waster. Every now and then she would pretend she was still working by writing things down here and there (so the teacher wouldn't give her more pointless work), but a majority of the time she discreetly looked around the classroom. As she was admiring the amount of equipment the science class had for a school like this, she remembered how strange Marceline had acted when she entered the classroom. Bonnie looked over at the taller girl sitting a few seats up, as she thought about some possible situations. The girl seemed to be struggling. She watched as Marceline wrote down a few words, leant her head on her hands and stared blankly at the sheet. She'd never seen her so focused on work before... something was definitely up.

...

The day went on without a hitch, and Bonnibel went to the front of the school to wait for her ride, usually she would drive home herself but her car was having some problems and pepper didn't have a problem picking her up, so she wasn't complaining.

She sat on the park bench out the front of the school, her nose buried in a textbook of which she thought to get ahead on so she had more free time later. She felt her phone vibrate against her leg and fumbled around to get it out of her pocket. Hitting the home button, the screen lit up with a message from pepper

Sorry about the late notice but the traffic is really bad at the moment, I'm stuck coming back from the shopping centre, will be there in about half an hour

Bonnie contemplated this message, and decided that it would be easier and quicker if she just walked home, not to mention, she kind of enjoyed zoning out to music.

No problems don't worry, I will just walk home :))

Bonnie slid her phone back into her pocket and lifted her bag onto the bench putting her book in her orderly back pack. Just as she was doing so she heard footsteps passing the spot she was sitting, the pink girl looked up.

Bubblegum found herself looking at the back of the tall dark girl, walking with a cool manner just pass the bench with her bag thrown over one shoulder.

"Marceline?"

The taller girl showed little acknowledgment, turning her head ever so slightly before facing forward, continuing her walk. Bonnie felt slightly taken aback by this response, it wasn't often that she went out of her way to actually try and speak with someone, but when she did, she was shrugged off as though she doesn't exist.

She felt a slight ball of anger form in her stomach, she didn't want to take this kind of rudeness.

"Hey! I was talking to you…-"

This time the dark haired girl stopped and turned to face Bonnie, her eyes were slightly scowled.

It was then Bonnie noticed the slight crimson red colour the taller girl had in her eyes, yet it looked kind of beautiful juxtaposed to her dark hair and light complexion.

"What do you want."

Bonnie blushed slightly, realizing that she had sat there just a little too long staring at the other girl.

At this moment the expression on the taller girls face changed ever so slightly, looking a little more mischievous.

Crap…. Are my cheeks that red? Did she notice!?…

"Well I-"

Marceline began walking toward the pink girl which threw her from her train of thought.

"Ahh… just thought, that…-"

A red boot landed to her left on the edge of the benched, aligned to where Bonnies knees were rested. Bubblegum pushed herself as far back against the bench as she could as Marceline leaned in, her right elbow resting on the lifted leg and her left hand now grabbing the back of the bench beside Bonnies right shoulder. The pink girl was trapped between Marceline and the bench, the taller girl made it clear she was trying to assert her dominance over Bubblegum.

"What? That we could be friends?"

Marceline threw a toothy grin, awaiting a response from the pink girl.

But Bonnies mind was completely jumbled, stuck in this position, all she could see was Marcelines hypnotizing eyes, her sharp features, and with the close proximity, she could smell her spicy yet sophisticated perfume. Trying not to give away what she was really thinking, Bonnie tried to continue with what she was originally trying to say.

"I…-"

"You?"

Stop interrupting me dammit.

Marceline ran her left hand over Bonnies shoulder, the pink girl tilted her head away confused and flustered at the sudden touch. The taller girl continued to slide her hand over her collar bone to the center of her chest.

"...You…"

The taller girl paused, savoring the moment before her hand tightened around the collar of the Bonnies shirt, pulling her up so the two girls were face to face.

"…Are wasting my time."

Bonnie was promptly pushed back against the bench, not enough to hurt her, but definitely enough to make a point. The taller girl moved back from the bench readjusting her bag over her shoulder, and began walking away with the same cool confidence as before. Suddenly a slight whimper from behind rang out through the quiet surrounding.

"I saw you in class today…"

Marceline stopped at this persistence from Bonnibel, yet still faced away from the pink girl.

"You seemed to be struggling and… well I thought that maybe I could offer assistance… but it doesn't matter."

The dark haired girl stood there for a moment. Long enough for Bonnibel to catch this occurrence and turn her head to face the girl. After a long pause and without a word, Marceline began walking again, however this time with a noticeably slower pace.

Bonnibel looked down at her bag, still resting open next to her and continued packing it so she could head back home.

So there you go :O I've decided to make Marceline a little meaner than originally intended simply because i think it'll make things more interesting :D reviews are super helpful and thanks so much for the support that is already there 3
