Ch12
Bell rang… 8th period
The bell for eighth period rang. It was the last period of the first day of school.
Jake awkwardly walked out of the class rushing so Cake wouldn't catch up to him, but as the other students got to the door before him, he was stuck in the jam waiting for them to get out. "Jake." Cake called out. Hesitating at first, he turned to the girl to see her running up with his viola case "You forgot this." She smiled and passed him the case.
Behind them Jermaine walked over slowly "Dweeb." He scoffed as he pushed his way at the door, shortly facing back to wink at Cake. Jake balled his fists and sighed heavily before walking away as well, leaving Cake to follow.

"The year just started and you're already testing my patience." The teacher scolded at the four students in the back. Receiving only eye rolls as a response she sighed and walked away.
The bell rang and the four picked up their things, and strolled out the door. "That's our second scolding of the day." Marshall laughed "Were doing better than last year Marce."
"Well second for some, third for others." She smirked as they walked
"Hey it's not my fault some psychos go and tell Basco on me." He continued
"Hey I've only gotten scolded once today!" Finn contributed
"What a good boy Finnegan!" Marceline teased "You want a cookie?"
XXXXXXXXX
"Jake its totes if you don't want your viola anymore." Cake smiled as she ran up to him. She had tried to start a conversation but he always brushed her away. Jake remained silent not taking the bait. "I mean you left it and everything..." Jake turned his face and melted at the sight of those golden eyes. So round and perfect.
"Cake my Viola is the best instrument there is." He responded with a smirk
"Uhh no. My dulcimer is."
XXXXXXXXX
All four laughed and continued to walk. A few doors down hall stood the Ash blond girl next to her brother. They were having an argument, but as soon as they spotted, the four both smirked. "Look." Fionna nodded their way, as they walked over.
"Well if it isn't Marcy and Marshy." Ashley spoke first
"You don't learn. Why do you come to school if you're not going to learn your lessons?" Marshall smirked
"They probably just come so they can see you two." Finn laughed
"Psychos and stalkers." Marceline laughed
Ashley grunted in annoyance before punching Marceline in the jaw. Everyone stared in shock as the pale girl dropped her bass case to the ground, her hair covering her face. Marceline turned back to girl and brushed the raven strands from her face, revealing her soulless dark eyes. "Big mistake." She said coldly before lunging for the girl. She landed on the girl and began to repeatedly punch.
"Get off her!" Ash yelled as he reached for Marceline's hair.
Instantly Marshall pushed him out of the way "Don't touch her!"
"Marce let go!" Fionna yelled as she tried to pry Marceline's hand from Ashley's head. Finn rushed and pulled Marshall away from his stare down with Ash "Dude, she's gonna kill her!" all three dragged Marceline's body off the beaten girl. At that moment, the late bell rang. The four students ran towards their class leaving the girl to be tended by her brother.
"Dude that was insane!" Fionna laughed.
"That's what you did to the boy!" Finn exclaimed
"Violent girls." Marshall scolded teasingly
"You're one to talk!" Marceline laughed
"well I am not a girl." Marshall stated
"Aren't you?" Fionna laughed
"You wanna check?" Marshall teased and winked at her
"Maybe." Fionna grinned before running away; Marshall chased her laughing as well.
"So… you like Bonnibel." Finn stated
"You know…" Marceline sighed
"Don't hurt her."
"I really like her Finn… I wouldn't do that to her…"
"I hope not. I wouldn't want her to get hurt…" He looked up to the taller and older girl and smiled "or you."
XXXXXXXXX
Bubba and Bonnibel were the first to arrive, as always with their punctual nature. Bonnibel chose her seat close to the middle, her cousin next to her, as she wanted to pay attention but also wanted to be part of any conversation Marceline and the others were sure to start. She desperately wanted to talk to her… she needed to.
Bubba was unpacking his books and pencils when the gray haired woman with the big head of hair walked over to him. "Hey there good looking." Her voice was high and raspy, almost as if she was left out in the cold too long.
Bubba's eyes widened in fear, as the woman got closer still. Behind her, a throat cleared "Mrs. DeLisle?" the confused female voice sounded.
The teacher jerked her head to stare at the blue-eyed brunet who had an eyebrow raised "It's Miss. Miss DeLisle." She turned back to Bubba "…but you can call me Icily."
Bubba gulped and watched as the pale woman smiled wickedly before walking towards her desk. "Thanks for the save." Bubba smiled at Farrah as she sat down next to him.
"No problem." She smiled back and brushed her brown hair back, taking her notebook out.
All while Ms. DeLisle harassed Bubba, Bonnibel racked her brain for a way to ask Marceline out. She thought she had heard some hints Marceline likes her too in her song and she was extremely glad that Bubba noticed it too. She also thought of how dating for them would be. She had so many questions and her mind spun around in circles, always ending and beginning on: How?
At that moment, the late bell rang, and Fionna ran in followed by a grinning Marshall Lee. Finn and Marceline walked in talking seriously and Jake and Cake, as always, were arguing.
"No! My viola is better!" Jake exclaimed as he sat next to Cake, behind Bubba.
"Are you kidding? My dulcimer can play circles around you!" Cake exclaimed, her eyes wandering to his lips before back to his eyes.
"Guys!" Finn laughed
"Enough" Fionna contributed also laughing. They sat next to each other in front of Marcy and Marshy who sat in the last two seats of the two columns and behind Jake and Cake. The seats filled and in came the students, all late.
"Susan!" Finn exclaimed joyously and the skater girl walked over and sat next to him
"Dude!" She fist bumped him
"Where's your board?" Fionna asked
"Bag." She smiled and pointed to her black, cat shaped backpack "Marsh. Marce. What's up?"
Marceline nodded her way and returned to her bass case and Marshall did the same.
"Dweebs." Jermaine walked in and sat next to Cake. "except you Ryan." He smiled
"Selfish jerk." Finn muttered and it caused all who were near to laugh.
"Why are you sitting here?" Fionna asked, rather rude
"What?" Jermaine asked lifting his head from his phone
"Why are you sitting with us? No one wants you here." She repeated, coldly
"Look, dweebette, I can sit where I want to. It's a free country"
"Don't you have any newer insults? You've used the same ones since we where seven." Finn asked
"He has the mind of a seven year old." Marshall scoffed
"A hormonal seven year old." Marceline added, laughing.
Jermaine's mouth opened to reply, when his phone pinged. He stared in to the phone screen before grinning from ear to ear "Oh Yeah!" He turned back to Cake "Guess who just got invited to Luna Stella Princess' first day of school bash?"
"Umm… you?" Cake responded
"Yeah! Her parties are the best!" He continued
"Mom and dad won't let you go. It's a school night. So say good night to LSP's bash." Jake teased
"I'll sneak out." He shrugged. "Ryan, you should come with."
Cake smiled "No thanks. I don't wanna get in trouble on the first day."
"How are going to get there?" Finn asked "Her house is far away."
"I'll take mom's car." Jermaine grinned "Point is: I am going!"
XXXXXXXXX
"You should come home with me." The strawberry blond woman with the bright brown eyes smiled hopefully at her brother.
"I have work to do." The strawberry blond male responded from behind his computer
"Oh, common Bubba and Bonnibel get out at two; we can take them out to eat." She offered
"You take them." He mumbled
"Bob. Stop treating her like this." The woman stated seriously
"Treat her like what? Bulma don't you have work to do?" He replied grimly
"What ever work I have can wait till tomorrow. And you know exactly what I'm talking about." She said sassily
"I don't." He replied absently
"Bob, you're my brother and I've put up with this for long enough. Get you fat butt out of that chair and let's go take our children to dinner tonight." She responded angrily
"Bulma unlike you I want to keep my job." He said not bothering to look up
The strawberry blond woman in anger stood from the large pink couch in her brother's office and walked over to him. She leaned on the desk "You won't lose your job if you take a break." She yelled. The man didn't even flinch. "What so important you don't even realize your daughter is growing up with out you?" In anger, she turned the computer monitor to find work pages minimized and pictures of Bonnibel's mother slide showing. "Oh." She whispered
"Give me!" He yanked the monitor back to him. "Leave!" He yelled actually making eye contact
"I know you miss her. I miss my husband too. Nevertheless, this isn't healthy… Bob… let her go." She spoke soothingly
"I…I can't…" He said grimly
"You gotta wake up Bob." Bubba's mother picked up the forgotten picture of Bonnibel out of under the piles of paper on her brother's desk "Or you'll lose her." She put the picture in front of the man and walked over next to the chair. She put her hand on his shoulder for support. He picked up the picture of the smiling girl and sighed. After one long look at the computer monitor, her pressed the button and watched as the screen went blank, "She would have wanted you to take care of her." She smiled
XXXXXXXXX
"Principal Basco" The excited secretary walked into the office as the principal hung up the phone.
"Yes?" She asked
"You have a visitor." The secretary replied ecstatic
The principal laughed lightly at the secretary's expression "Sent them in." The secretary nodded and headed out of the room. "I wonder what has her so excited." She smirked as she sipped her lukewarm coffee "It's the first day of the year."
"Am I in trouble Mrs. Basco?" The sarcastic male voice spoke.
When the principal caught sight of the man, she spit her coffee out. She stared in shock. The man dressed in his full army uniform with the plaque: General Basco leaned on her doorframe. "Well? Don't I get a hello?"
The principal ran to her husband, a grin spread across her face. The man sighed as he hugged her. Resting his chin on her head and feeling the tears of joy leaking through her eyes.
"Uh… Principal Basco?" Another secretary entered with a beaten Ashley. The couple let go of the other and looked at the girl. "Bad news."
The uniformed man laughed, hysterically. "Shh." The principal covered his mouth as she pushed him out of the way. He was slightly taller than Marshall Lee with the same pale color and dark eyes. His built was similar but more muscular and his hair was shorter, typical army cut. His medals shined under the soft light of her office. "Who did this to you?" She asked as the secretary left.
"Marceline Olsen." Ashley pouted
"Whatchu do to her?" The man asked behind the desk, as he sat on the chair.
"Nothing!" She exclaimed "Ouch." She winced in pain
"Cinnamon buns call Marceline Olsen in here." The principal called out the door.
"Yeah okay."
XXXXXXXXXXXX
The class was sitting back, enjoying the free day Miss (in her dreams) DeLisle said they could have. "Did it hurt?" Bonnibel asked as she put her hand to Marceline's bruised yaw.
"Totes. Stupid psycho." Marceline mumbled
"I am surprised she didn't tell on you." Finn mumbled
"Don't jinx it!" Fionna yelled
"Chill Fi. I've been in enough fights to be able to ASSURE that the one who punches first is the one in trouble." Marshall grinned
"That or your mom just lets you go." Bubba smirked
"Yo! Harris you've on my case all day, do you have something bothering you?" Marshall glared
"Yo chill Marsh." Jake laughed
"Don't try and get crazy with Bubba" Cake threatened
"Is Marceline Olson in class?" The boy at the door asked
"Yeah." Marceline stood
"Principal Basco wants to see you." He said hading Miss DeLisle the paper requesting Marcy
"Psycho." Marshall shook his head
"Good Luck." Bonnibel whispered and touched Marceline's hand lightly. Marceline looked back at Bonnibel and smiled. She walked out of the room with the boy.
XXXXXXXXX
Marceline entered the office with her bass case around her shoulder and her hands in her pockets. The first thing she saw was Marshall's father sitting in the principal's desk, his mom sitting in the chair and the two sharing a loving stare and talking. "Uncle?" Her eyes widened and in the shock she bypassed Ashley's beaten form on the couch she had so much in last year for cutting, threats, fights, food fights, and all other "bad" things she did last year along with Marshall Lee (and every other year of her school life). It wasn't her fault what the school called "bad" she called "fun."
"Marce" He greeted her playfully
She laughed "Oh my gosh! Does Marshall know you're here?"
"He will." The principal smirked "later." She sighed her smirk in place "So… about you." She pointed to Marceline but looked at Ashley "What happened to you?"
"Oh nothing. This psychotic bitch punched me in the face so I put her in her place. Honestly if Marshall, Finn, and Fi hadn't pulled me off her… she would be in hospital beds not just that couch." She smirked and crossed her arms over her chest "Multiple beds."
"You never said you punched her." Marshall's father spoke to Ashley
"I...umm…" Ashley stammered
"Oh. A psycho, stalker, and a liar. Didn't Marshall know how to pick them?" She said sarcastically
"Ashley, you've been looking for trouble all day. You found it. I am not going to tell on either of you if you let this go, because I'm in a really good mood." Marshall's mother grinned, "Now if I hear or see anything from you" She pointed to Ashley "I will have you expelled. You assaulted Marceline."
"Yeah. What I did was self defense." Marceline pouted
"Don't over sell it Marce." Marshall's father scoffed
"You may go." The principal stated. The two girls walked out of the office. "Now where were we?" She asked coquettishly
