The rest of the day was rather boring, and I couldn't help but think of this strange girl, Marceline. I looked at the clock, 8:02. I sighed as I took off my apron and nametag. I shut off all the lights and machines, walking out the door locking it behind me. I leaned up against the wall taking a deep breath. Today was weird. I took out the note and stared at it for a minute or so protesting if I should try calling this number she had given me. Someone then walked up next to me and leaned against the same wall I was leaning against. It was her, Marceline. Her hands were tucked in her leather jacket pockets, propping a foot up against the wall. I felt my stomach twist in knots.

"I hope you were planning to call me." She smirked without looking at me.

"I... uh." I didn't know what to say, I was so nervous. I'm not used to people actually wanting to talk to me. I'm usually ignored by people. I glanced back down at the note, shoving it back in my shirt pocket.

"Are you following me?" I quickly turned to her so I was facing her, trying to sound intimidating.

"Nah. Well. Not at first. I saw you in class, then afterwards I was just waiting for someone." She paused, turning to me and leaning against the same wall with her shoulder. "Now, I had no idea you worked here if that's what you mean. That was just a coincident. But now that I know you do work here... I'll probably come more often." I felt myself start blushing. "Now, waiting here until you got off work, yes that was on purpose. I wanted to meet you."

"But why..?" She ignored my question, and then we made eye contact. Her eyes were a beautiful green. They sparkled in the moonlight. Her hair fell down from her head, some sweeping over her eyes.

"So, Bonni. Where you headed?"

"Home..." She smiled. Did she just call me Bonni?

"Great, I'm heading in that direction too."

"You don't even know where I live though!"

"Calm down princess, just looking for an excuse to walk you home." Wow. I felt like something was doing flips in my stomach. Why? Glob.

"I don't know you... You could be an axe murderer." She laughed to herself.

"Hello, Bonnibel, I am Marceline Abedeer." She stuck out her hand, I reached out mine and shook hers. Her hands were cold and soft, and they almost fit perfectly with mine.

"Bonnibel Bubblegum." I said it in a low tone hoping she wouldn't hear me.

"Wow. You really live up to your name." She says as she looked up and down, as if examining me. "So you gonna let me walk you home or what?" I don't know why, but I actually let her. For some odd reason, I felt strange around this girl. But a good kind of strange. We walked to my apartment in silence, I felt too awkward to say anything and she just whistled the whole time. She had a catchy tune going on.

We reach my apartment and we part ways, her giving me a huge smile as I said thank you. I walked inside, changed into my pajamas and went right to bed. I was sure tired. I made sure my alarm was set this time.

As tired as I was, I didn't fall asleep right away. My mind drifted off to thinking about Marceline. I started thinking about how strange she was, then of her looks. My glob was she beautiful. That long black hair, those torn jeans, her eyes… Ugh I was getting butterflies again.
