Marlene's POV:

I quietly speed-walked into the cafeteria, just to get away from all the attention when guess what? More attention! All of the boys were staring at me, half in a dreamy state and some of the girls were slapping the boy next to them and glaring at both me and them and a cheerleader was just glaring at me. "Marlene!"shouted Doris from behind me and came running to me. She had blonde hair with light blue and light pink highlights, bubble-gum pink lips, grey-blue eyes and normal skin. She was wearing a deep sky blue checkered belly coat without any sleeves, a white shirt without any sleeves, a light grey pair of skinny jeans, a shiny, deep sky blue belt and a grey pair of graffiti sneakers. She looked like Avril Lavigne, but with less mascara. "Help me!"I hissed to Doris nervously then added. "I have stage fright!" Doris nodded understandingly the leaned towards me and whispered,"I know just what to do,"deviously then shouted whist still leaning towards me,"YO! YOU PEOPLE! EVER SEEN A CHIC OR WHAT?!" I jumped as well as the boys since we didn't expect her to do that. "AND LADIES! IT'S NOT HER FAULT THAT YOUR BOYFRIENDS WERE STUPID ENOUGH TO FALL FOR THAT!"and pointed at me whilst glaring at the wide eyed ladies. Last of all, she stared daggers at the cheerleader but she didn't flinch in the slightest. "WHY DON'T YOU JUST MIND YOU FLIPPIN' BUSINESS AND STOP BEING A FLIPPIN' SLU-"she screamed but I covered her mouth and dragged her away from the ear before she could finish that word.

Once we were out of the cafeteria, she sent me a look saying,'...What the heck, man? I was THIS close to calling that ugly prune what she rightfully was and is!'. "DORIS! I am NOT going to let you bad mouth that cheerleader!"I exclaimed in a hushed voice. "Fine! Let's just to History class!"she whispered back and skateboarded don the hall, not even giving an oyster shell to the angry teachers complains. Arriving at the class, Doris accidentally slammed the door in my face so I reached out to open the door but someone's hands met with mine and I felt a spark when I looked up to see Skipper.

...*Flashback*...

Two girls were running through New York with to babies with them, a black fog seemed to be chasing them and took away life and colour from everything it touched. The scene changed to luggage getting thrown around and the babies let out a small whimper, "Shh, little ones.."said a voice in the flashback but no one opened their mouth. Two invisible, white angles flew out of the necklaces the babies wearing and joined together, making a heart shape. The last scene was filled with darkness and a black and grey ghost came in view, it had sharp teeth and soulless eyes. "You can't run forever, MWAHAHAHAHA!"it carkled in a sadistic, demonic voice.

...*End flashback*...

No POV:

"Erm..Ladies first?"offered Skipper awkwardly, opening the door and guestering inside.
Marlene blushed cutely and went in, whilst murmuring a 'thank you' and went to sit down with Doris in the second row.
Skipper smiled and walked into and was closely followed by Kowalski, Private and Rico, who sat in the first row with him.
Moments later, a few more pupils walked in the classroom before the teacher walked in.
"Alright class, two new students are now attending our school.."he started cheerfully and nodded his head at Skipper and Marlene."And we all know what that happens when we get a new studant!"he exclaimed in a sing-song voice and lined everybody up against the back wall. He moved the desks so it was now two people shared one desk, looked back up at his students, who were waiting calmly. "Kowalski and Private, Mason and Phil, Julien a-"
"KING Julien! You should be knowing dat by now!"warned Julien and sat down on the desk grumpy.
"...Right...King Julien and Maurice, Rico and Mort and Skipper and Marlene."he retorted formally with a straight face but had a grin creeping along his mouth. Skipper and Marlene looked at each other and blushed, then sat down shyly as they looked away in a slightly dreamy way.

Meanwhile, Julien observed the two in the back and frowned with jealousy. He was from Madagascar, had brown skin, black hair with grey highlights in a short pony tail, dark lips, golden eyes and had a dot of black marker on his nose. He was wearing a grey jacket with a 'KISS YOUR KING' badge, a white T-shirt with a ringtailed lemur wearing a crown on it's head, a jungle themed belt, a sparkly, dark grey pants and a black pair of kicks with the word 'DANCE' multi coloured on the side of them. "Pssst! Maurice!"whispered Julien harshly and elbowed Maurice in the stomach a couple of times until he spoke. "Do dey make a good couple?"he questioned jealously and pointed at Skipper and Marlene who seemed to be blushing.
"Well by the looks of it I'd say yeah- I mean no! No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!"he lied nervously and smiled. Maurice was from Madagascar too! He had black hair with dark grey highlights, brown skin, light gold eyes, dark lips and a spec of black marker on his nose. He wore a black jacket, a grey shirt, white jeans, black shoes and a pair of contact lenses. "I agree! HELP ME!" he screamed at Maurice which made everyone look at him in a weird way. Maurice nodded,"Ok, so first some flowers, then a restaurant reservation, maybe chocolate and-"
"Nooooo! I mean help me get them to fall out!"he insisted and chuckled deviously.
Maurice sighed and started listing stuff like clubs and that, after that Julien mumbled,
"Perfect, hehehee!"and slipped out of the back window with Maurice.

:Later at lunch:
Skipper was sitting on a table with his new friends and Marlene was sitting with Doris on the table opposite them, both unaware that a certain 'King' was watching them from the ceiling. Yeah, he had nowhere to spy on them except the ceiling..but don't worry, he's sitting on this catwalk thing. Julien had found a secret tunnel leading there from the sewer pipes that was outside the back window in history class. He decorated it with black material around it, a tramplin, a table, one chair, loads of cushions, a telescope and he had a small pipe used to suck their food up from the dinnner ladies stove. "Julien..You sure about this?"inquired Maurice and peered down at the two friends who were laughing at what each other were saying.
"King Julien is always sure!"insisted Mort, who was sitting on Juliens foot...Ouch. Mort was half Madagascaran and half american, he had golden/sandy blonde hair, dark brown eyes in the winter, golden eyes in the summer, tanned skin and one big tooth. He was wearing a mango coloured wooly jumper, brown pants and black Nike shoes with a golden nick simbol.
"What the morty said!"agreed with little attention as he peered down at Marlene with a smug look on him face. He got his sling-shot and filled it with mash potato and fired at Marlene, momments later he heard her yelp and shriek angrily. He tied one end of a rope to Morts foot and the other end to the railing, then hoisted him down with a bit of mash in him hands and handed it to Skipper before giggling and slipping away with out anyone seeing him. Marlene glanced at Skipper's hand then frowned angrily, her eye's burning with fury, and slapped him across the face before stomping out of the way as the sunlight reflecting hurt from the tears brimming in her eyes. Doris glared at Skipper but blamed Kowalski with bittersweet memories flooding her mind before she took of after Marlene who had seemed to disappear.
"She'll come back,"promised Kowalski and put a reasuring hand on his friends shoulder.

After lunch they had geography class but Marlene was still nowhere to be found! Doris came bursting in, but empty handed and panting. It was nearly the end of class, too! If Marlene missed a full lesson, she'd be on lock down for the rest of the year! Skipper casted a worried glance at Kowalski and looked back at the teacher, who was too busy explaining the lesson to notice Skipper move to Marlene's seat and climb out of the high open window. Skipper managed to do it without being seen but tumbed out of the window and landed on the grass, face flat. The sound of a guitar and someone singing nice and clearly reached him ears and he looked up to see Marlene sitting on a tall branch on a tree in central park, which was just outside the school. The branch had a soft breeze flying through it but not too strong since some leaves were bloking the way, the sun casaded down on to the branch and the branch it's self was big and wide. Big enough for one or two people to stand on, it had a old grassy green pillow, the top wasn't twistted like the trunch, so you could write or do something easily on it and here was a secret botton that had a control panel joined to it, the panel could open up a leaf camoflauge roof, a water donator for when it rained and an organic radiator. So it was basicly an open tree house. "I can be tough, I can be strong. But with you..it's not like that at all.."she sang as she strumbed the guitar. "And there's a girl, who gives a s***. Behind that wall..You just walked through it.."
Skipper quietly climbed up the tree and sat next to her as he listened,"Wow,"he breathed at her amazing singing impressed, which startled her since she had her eye's closed.
When she saw who it was she sighed,"What do you want, Skipper?"she asked dully and rested her head on a knee she had brought up to her chest to hug.

"I'm came up here to find you and tell you that it wasn't me who through that mash at you,"

"Then who did?"

"Ringtail..As in Julien."

"Oh."

"And why was it such a big deal anyway?"

Marlene turned her face towards him so he could see her whole face, the mash was super hot and at the speed and distant it feel from made it extremely hot which burned her cheek and a bit of her arm. Skipper gasped at the sight as tears rolled down Marlene's face and collected at the side of her face before gravity pulled it to the grass underneath her. "That's why."she informed unemotionally and turned her head back around, avoiding to look into Skipper's eyes. This hurt Skipper because she was one of his closes and first friend. "And,"he began which made Marlene look at him hopefully. "I was hoping..Thaaaat..You might wanna..Staaaart..Over?"he questioned nervously but had a hint of hope weeving through.
Marlene smiled and nodded, then took Skipper's hand and climbed through the window, whilst showing off a little by doing a back flip and dive into it.
Skipper chukled quietly and followed her in, right before class ended.

After class, Skipper and Marlene told their friends that they had made up were going to have rainbow snowcones,"Aww, congrats you guys!"congratulated Doris and smiled then grabbed Skipper's shoulder and whispered to him,"Your officially of my list; Be glad. But if you do anything to hurt her, I WILL break you...!"she warned him angrily.
"BUT, we're only getting snowcones AFTER a little revenge on a certain Ringtail."smiled skipper and he and Marlene casted a look at each other with a smirked stuck to their smug faces. Doris laughed evily and stated,"Then you came just to the right girl,"...

Thanks for the reviews! I luv all of you! :D

Julien:Wait, wait, wait! What's the revenge for me? ',:(

Doris:...Nooooothing..Hehehehe ):D

Julien: *gulp* HELP ME! O.O'

Doris:Just review, ;)
