Ch. 2

(I have no idea what to say other than, I don't own Adventure time. Oh! I know. Thank you to everyone that read the first chapter and thank you to he23t for the review. I don't know if you guys like this story but hopefully I'll get some feedback.)

(Marceline's point of view)

The rest of that day passed before I knew it. I went straight home forgetting about Bonnibel and Finn. My dad wasn't home but I didn't care. I had to get ready for my job. I started working as a waitress over the summer. It paid well even without the tips. I always forced my smile but there were times I wondered if there was any point. I never needed money and I'm not even sure if I want to be anything when I'm older. My original dreams were crushed just like my bass guitar. My basketball career along with my bass guitar career are both gone. My shoulder will never heal and even working as a waitress puts me through a lot of stress. Guys don't hit on me luckily; they tend to hit on my co-workers. I can't help but smirk when I see them turn down such pathetic guys. My job went just like every other day. I walked in, punched my card and served children, teens and adults. Sometimes, people from school would come in just to cause trouble. I keep smiling and catering to them but When I see them out of work they get a beating. I see some of them working and never bother them but they never do that for me. Why? Why does everyone cause trouble for me?

"Marceline?" I heard a voice say.

"Huh?" I flinched and looked up to see Finn with two adults behind him. One was a guy with blonde hair but a brown mustache wearing a blue shirt with a dog on it and brown jeans. The other was a blonde haired woman with a rainbow colored shirt and a blue skirt. All three are white, blonde hair... but the adults have brown eyes while Finn has blue. Still, they could be...

"Hi. I'm Finn's older brother, Jake and this is my wife, call her Lady," Jake introduced.

"Hi. Nice to meet you," Lady greeted.

"My name's Marceline. There's a table over here for you if you follow me." I said with a smile.

I grabbed three menus and walked them to their table. We talked for a bit but at one point it became hollow noise. I catered to them and it was fine but I felt so guilty when his older brother left a twenty dollar tip. Just because I was Finn's friend. When work was over, I walked home. My dad was there but in a daze listening to the radio. He never said hello and I just walked to my room. Changed into my pajamas and jumped onto my bed. I stared at the ceiling with nothing in mind and looked over at my broken bass guitar. Then I rolled over onto my right side and fell asleep shedding a tear.

The next started the same. I got up, got ready for school and left. I didn't see Finn on my way there and homeroom was boring. period 4 and 5 were even more so boring. Lunch came and Finn was still nowhere to be seen. Bonnibel talked to me and that was fine but I still feel hollow."Yo! Marceline!" Bonnibel yelled with a snap of her fingers.

I snapped back into reality, "Huh? What?" I asked.

"I was talking to you for like ten minutes but you were staring off into space." she told me.

"Oh. Sorry." I apologized.

"You're starting to worry me. You've been zoning out for a while." Bonnibel told me.

I sighed, "Recently, I've been starting to think that all of this is pointless. I might as well quit high school and just continue living as a waitress until I die." I said gloomily.

"Hey," I felt her rub my back, "Don't talk like that. Life isn't pointless. I know your life isn't the greatest but neither is mine. You know that ever since the accident I'm not as smart as I used to be." Bonnibel told me.

I sighed because she was right. Bonnibel's parents were very abusive at times. Once, she was the smartest student in our school along with being captain of our girls soccer team but then... Her parents beat her in a drunken rage. It damaged her brain to the point she couldn't remember her name. She was hospitalized for three months as she recovered. She could still be smart but as for athletics, she can't run at the pace she used to. I felt bad for her. For both of us really. I guess both our parents ruined our lives. Our hopes and dreams crushed by the very people that should have supported them. I looked around for a bit and saw Lsp walking with Brad. They looked so happy, I couldn't help but scoff and look away. Bonnibel sighed and got up. The bell rung and I headed to my period 6 class. As I sat down in the back next to the window like usual I heard the seat next to me move. I looked to see it was Finn. He gave me a kind smile as I noticed that I was smiling. Maybe this class won't be so bad. It was pre-calc. A math class that I decided to take randomly. Maybe it won't be so bad.

Class went by in what seemed like a blink of an eye. Finn tried to talk to me but after a while I started staring out the window. I completely ignored him to the point he just stayed quiet looking down. I didn't care about what he had to say but I still felt guilty. I packed my stuff and left the class with Finn close behind me. I walked on my way home and eventually Finn said good bye but I ignored him again. I just wanted to get to work so that my day could be over.

Work went faster than expected and I quickly left after receiving my paycheck. It was 500 dollars because I get paid every two weeks. Tomorrow I'll cash it into my bank account. I always say its to pay for college but that's a lie. I have no plans to 'live my life to the fullest' like other people do. I'm gonna move out my dad's place and live in a small apartment alone. Probably never marry or understand why people become happy. I walked into my house to see my dad listening to the radio.

"Oh Marceline. How was school and work?" he asked with a smile.

I ignored him and walked towards my room. Throwing aside my stuff, I laid onto my bed exhausted. I didn't have a car yet so I walked everywhere. It's exhausting but at least I keep in shape. Not that I care anyways. Tomorrow came and I skipped period 2 with Bonnibel. We'll probably get yelled at for it but its not like we care. We're outcasts with nothing to drive us anymore. During lunch I decided to eat on the room of the school. Bonnibel never finds me when I do so usually I'm alone but...

"Hey," I heard someone say.

I turned to see Finn, "Oh. Finn. What are you doing up here?" I asked.

"I came up here yesterday and decided it was best to eat here. A place where no one could find you." he said as he looked up at the sky.

"Yeah... I can see what you mean..." I said mostly to myself.

He sat next to me, "What's wrong with you?" he asked.

"A lot of things. I'd rather not talk about it. You?" I asked.

"Same." he answered.

We started eating in silence. I watched the clouds move in the sky as I started to relax. The silence between us was getting awkward. We kept glancing at each other and I couldn't take it. I opened my mouth to talk but he interrupted me.

"I want to start up the drama club!" he almost yelled.

I was caught off guard, "You want to start up the drama club?" I asked.

He gave me a look of determination and nodded, "Yeah. Bonnibel told me that the drama club closed a while ago but I want to start it up again." he told me.

I raised an eyebrow, "Are you asking me to start it with you?" I asked.

He nodded hard, "Yes! Please help me by joining me in my efforts!" he yelled.

"You know I have a job Finn. You did see my there the other day." I told him.

"Please! I'm begging you!" he pleaded.

I was getting embarrassed as he looked at me with this deep determination, "Finn, I need this job. I can't just quit," I told him.

"Please, I..." He started.

"I said NO!" I screamed and got up.

Finn curled into a ball as I started to walk away but then I heard sniffling. I looked to see he was crying. I wanted to leave. A person like me doesn't join club or groups. I'm an outcast. Plus, I'd have to help him get others to join but most people here don't like me. His sobs started to echo in my mind even when I block my ears.

"Alright! I'll join!" I yelled.

He looked at me with a smile, "You will!?" he asked.

I groaned, "Yeah, just stop crying like a baby." I told him.

"What's with all the yelling?" I looked to see Bonnibel, "There you are Marceline. Huh, never thought you'd find joy in making others cry." Bonnibel said slyly.

"He asked me to join drama club with him and your joining too," I told her.

"What!? No way! Why do I have to join!" she asked.

"Cause I'm giving up my job and if you don't join I'll kick your butt even worse then your parents!" I whispered in her ear.

"Jeez. But I might be a bad actor though." she whispered back.

"That sounds more like a personal problem." I told her.

She flared up, "Is not! I don't want to embarrass myself in front of everyone!" she yelled.

"You're already doing that on your own. Why does it matter if you're doing it for drama club?" I asked.

"Your such a jerk Marceline." She told me.

"Yeah, and you're a moron. There, we're even." I replied.

The bell rung and only Finn decided to go back to class. Me and Bonnibel talked this drama thing over. In the end she agreed to join. For that period we talked about possible candidates that might join. Lsp and Brad was crossed off the list even before the list was started. When the bell rung for period 5, we decided to go to our class. Why was I doing this? I could've just walked away... couldn't I?

(That's the end of chapter 2. I hope you all enjoyed it.)
