Hey Guys!

Please note that bold is Finn's notes and italics is Marceline's


Tuesdays. I hate Tuesdays, they're almost as bad as Mondays, another three whole days of school lay ahead in impending doom. I sit in my homeroom class, groaning as I realise that this is only the first class and I still have eight more periods until the end of the day. I stare at Bonnie curiously, who sits three rows in front of me. No matter how many times I try to ignore yesterday's ordeal, it keeps coming to the forefront of my mind. I can't help but admire her glossy hair as she bends over, writing furiously on her notes, no doubt hanging onto every word the teacher is saying. It's almost a pinkish colour rather than the strawberry blonde I had thought it was at first. As she is my buddy she's supposed to be sitting next to me but the teacher decided to keep me sitting with Finn as I have her in every other class.

"Marceline! Oi Marceline!" I hear Finn shout-whispering next to me, I glance at out rambling homeroom teacher who is inevitably already glaring at me, before looking at the blonde boy who is drumming his fingers on the table.

"Yeah?" Honestly, listening to what Finn has to say is for sure more interesting than whatever the balding teacher is going on about.

"You know how you said you wouldn't mind playing bball with Jake and I?" He questions, a glint in his sky-blue eyes.

"Yep." I grin, seeing where this is going.

"This Saturday, the gang is going to Gilroy and Bon's place for a movie night, and down the road there are a few courts that are never used so we can go there to play." Finn smiles widley and drums his fingers on the desk extra loud, showing his excitement. Unfortunately the teacher picks up on this and snaps his head our way.

"Marceline. Would you mind sharing what you were conversing about to the class?" Mr Ned asked coldly, he seemed to have picked up in the last couple of weeks that I was the opposite of my father mentally and never hesitated to pick on me. He was smirking at me as if he thought I had made a fool of my self- this made me clench my fist in anger, and stand up in rage. I'll teach him to take the mickey out of me.

"Well Marceline?" He said, in a disgusting nasal tone.

Well see Mr Ned, Finny-boy and I were conversing about how much of an ugly git you are. That's what I wanted to say anyway, I could see myself saying it. Bonnie, along with most of the class had turned to stare at me now. Before making the smart retort bound to land me in detention for a week, I look at her and she shakes her head slightly, eyes pleading, as if she knew exactly what I was going to do. I sighed loudly and rolled my eyes at her.

"No, sorry." I mutter, before slumping into my seat.

I see Bonnie let out a breath of relief, before turning to face the board, and I snigger slightly, heart rate picking up. She was worried about me. After the teacher had turned back to the board, explaining some unimportant school event, Finn tore out a piece of paper in his book and scribbled something, his tongue sticking out in concentration. He passes the note to me.

Sorry about you getting into trouble man, I was the one talking, he's really unfair.

It's okay Finn, he is like that cause he is a client of my Father's company and he probably told my Father that he teaches me. My Father must have told him to be extra hard on me to get rid of my attitude or something.

That's terrible dude.

I see the sympathy in Finn's eyes and I change the subject quickly.

Yeah, I'm used to it though, so it's okay. Tell me what you were saying just now about basketball

Finn perks up when he reads the note.

Oh okay, so basically do you want to come over to the movie night on Sat and afterwards, we can play two V two at the courts. Do you have a partner in mind? Cuz they best be good, me and Jake are pretty math.

You sure it won't be intruding? Bonnie didn't even invite me

I sink in my seat when I realise that Bonnie hadn't thought to invite me

No dude, we only came up with the idea this morning but you came late so Bonnie told me to tell you now. We're all your friends-of course we would invite you.

I feel warm inside at Finn's remark. Friends. Well that was new. I grinned, quickly writing down a reply, making it seem like I was copying down whatever Mr Bollocks was saying.

Ooh okay then. I do have a partner in mind, my bro Marshall, and YOU and JAKE should better watch out because believe me, me and him are pretty rad

Whatever you say Marcy :) Bring him along then, the gang will meet up at the courts at 5 then after that head to Bonnie's house. We can eat pizza and stuff. Marshall can come too if you want.

Sounds brilliant! Nah my I don't think he would like to stay for the movie. It may awkward since he doesn't know you guys. Me and him are going to trash your American arses.

I laughed internally, Marshall would not be awkward, he would probably get along great with my new… friends. Wow it feels weird referring to so many people as friends, even in my bloody head. Come to think of it, Marshall would probably get along too well with them. Hmm, next time I'll let him hang out with us.

Nuh uh Marceline, Jake and I are going to kick you guys in the boing-loings with our algebraic basketball talent.

I read his reply, deciding to mess with him before his confidence gets out of hand. I smile creepily, deciding to add on to Bonnies vampire comment. Cracking my knuckles I glare at him playfully, "We'll see if you two heroes can show up vampire royalty." I hiss at him for good measure, making him laugh nervously.

The bell rings and Finn retorts, grinning, "the bell has rescued meee! See ya later Vampire Queen."

He sprints off to wherever his next class is. I meet Bonnie outside, and she grabs my arm, I look at her quizzically.

"Marceline thanks, for holding in whatever you were going to say." The contact between us burns, in a good way, even through my sleeves.

"Yeah whatever princess. Why do you care anyway?" I said, with a little spite lacing the words, did she only care because it would ruin her reputation, as she is my buddy?

Bonnie's face went blank in confusion, "Because I care about you, dummy. I didn't want to see you get into trouble just because a teacher was being an ass and you lost your temper."

"Oh," My face flushes, and I look up at her, pleased, "Well thanks." I look at the floor, embarrassed that I misjudged her.

"Is a side affect of vampire-ism constant loss of brain cells?" Bonnie looks at me in mock curiosity.

I cackle loudly, and push her lightly.

"Verrrry funny, princess."

"So, did Finn tell you about Saturday?" We start walking to our next class.

"Yeah, don't worry I'll come."

"Good. It'll be fun," She smiled brightly, "do you have basketball today?"

"Yeah, I do. It sucks though because Marshall can't pick me up and I didn't bring my motorcycle this morning." I sighed, picking at the skin around my fingernails.

"Hey wait, I have swim training today so do you want me to give you a ride back?"

I looked up at her hopefully, "really? I live really out of the way you know."

She studied me with her ocean-blue eyes, smiling her toothpaste commercial smile, "It's fine Marcy, really. What are friends for right?" I smile unusually widely at her at her remark.

"Wait-what are friends?" I ask her, imitating confusion. She laughed and pinched my arm.

"So I'll meet you outside the main entrance of the sports hall at 5:10pm? It takes me ten to change."

"Yeah, that sounds perfect, princess." I say, giving her the traditional Abadeer smirk, pulling back my lips in a cheshire cat grin and raising a single perfect eyebrow. Bonnie blushed and shooed me into the classroom quickly.
