Ch7

Bell… 3rd period

The bell for third period rang and Fionna took her time as she packed for her next class, marine biology. Finn followed her example since he really hated that class too. Mostly they hated the class because it was about one of the most beautiful places in the world, yet out of some deep-rotted fear, they could never explore it. After packing the two lazily strolled to class quietly and grimly looking ahead.

"Marshall Lee don't even think about it." Cake warned as Marshall made his way to the door.

"What? Think about what?" He asked feigning confusion

Jake laughed and Marceline smirked "You know exactly what." Cake accused teasingly

"Yeah… it's about over five feet tall and likes to wear a certain bunny hat." Marceline teased.

"Oh shut up" Marshall stuck his tongue out. "Oh c'mon Marce" He smiled deviously

"Where?" she asked putting her bass down

"Bonnie and Bubba have their free period… I think they're at the library." He smiled

"You wanna go hang out with them?" Jake asked shocked

"Naww… but Marce has something to ask Bonnie." Marshall grinned

"Later." Marceline mumbled returning to her bass, a blush spreading a cross her face.

"Okay." Jake dragged the word out before breaking out in laughter "really Marceline?"

Marceline lifted her head and glared Jake's way "Shut it." She hissed

"It's cool… I mean I just didn't expect it." Jake grinned

"Neither did I." Marshall added with a grin

"I am lost." Cake mumbled

Jake turned his attention to the frizzy-haired golden-eyed girl and grinned in the manner Marshall Lee just had "I guess you just don't have my talent to notice everything."

"Do you want to go to the library?" Bubba asked his cousin as she stared blankly into the locker.

"Huh?" She asked turning her attention to her cousin

"Do you want to go to the library?" He repeated

"Umm… Actually, I was going to the band room." Bonnibel stated looking back into the pink furbished locker. Bubba didn't reply, he just sighed. "Gumball don't worry so much." She smiled shoving books into her pack.

"I just don't want you to get hurt." He stated grimly

"Thank you for caring…" She hugged him before closing her locker and walking away, towards the stairs.

Bubba watched as his beloved cousin, who was more like a sister, walked towards the band room "I just hope I'm wrong." He muttered.

"Hey Bubba" Farrah waved passing by, brushing her shoulder length brown her from her eyes.

"Hey Farrah" He replied closing his locker "What do you have now?" Bubba asked following the short girl.

"Umm… free period. I was going to the library." She smiled

"Oh, me too! Mind if I go with you?" He asked. The girl smiled and nodded, hooking her arm in his, pulling him against the incoming traffic of students.

"Finn… I don't wanna go in," Fionna stated as they stood by the door to the marine biology class "You wanna cut?"

"Fionna, you know I'm all for cutting but you already know what cutting got us…" He trailed off

"Detention, scolding and remedial English." Fionna mumbled

"Mr. Shada! Miss Martin! Would you mind going to class and clearing my hallway?" Asked the pale woman with the long mane like hair. Her brown eyes staring and her lips formed into a smirk.

"Yes, Principal Basco." They said uniformly before walking into the room. The woman smiled before walking to the stairs, enjoying her job as principal.

"Hello Bubblegum!" Exclaimed the music teacher to Bonnibel as she entered the band room. Instantly Marceline's head raised in attention. In the background, the late bell rung. "What are you doing here?"

"Umm… I have a free period and I was wondering if I could stay here." Bubblegum smiled disarmingly

"Oh, how could I say no to that charming smile of yours?" The teacher asked, brushing a strand of her blond mane like hair from her face.

"How's Lloyd?" Bubblegum asked sitting on the teacher's desk.

"He's fine. He really likes working with your father." Lady exclaimed with a smile

"I am glad… waiting for the wedding" Bubblegum teased

"NO! My beautiful Rainicorn can't get married!" Jake exclaimed from his seat causing a round of laughs from the class.

"Mr. DiMaggio what have I told you about calling me Rainicorn?" She laughed

"Not to." Cake offered and Jake tuck his tongue out at her.

"Well let's start class shall we?" Lady smiled, ignoring the glares between Jake and Cake.

Marceline turned her head to face Marshall's smirk "What?" She asked

"Looks like later just became now." He teased looking down to his bass

"Hello." The female voice came from the door

"Principal Basco." Lady noted

"Yes… just making sure Mr. Basco and Miss Olson are in class.

"Yes mother. Both me and Marceline ere in class… why would we cut band?" He asked rolling his eyes.

"You're right. You need the practice." She smirked and a couple of students laughed. Marshall blushed lightly embarrassed "But I suppose old habits are hard to break." She continued. "Miss Bonnibel Walsh, you aren't cutting are you?"

"No ma'am. I have a free period." Bubblegum responded

"Very well." With that, she waved and turned to continue her job.

"Stupid Bitch… you should know." Marshall mumbled and it caused a laugh from Marceline and Jake. Bubblegum turned away embarrassed at his words.

"Marshall Lee! You very well know those words are not allowed in my class. If you have a problem channel it out through your amazing music." Lady smiled and Marshall sighed and nodded. That was Lady for you. Her charm and awesomeness allowed her to disarm a situation.

"Bubba why are you so restless?" Farrah asked while laughing at the strawberry blond boy. He was frantically looking for the perfect book yet was unable.

"I am not restless!" He replied sharply. "I am sorry." HE sighed.

"It's okay… I'm sure what ever it is, it must be really bothering you." She stated taking a random book.

Bubba sighed and leaned against the bookcase "Farrah, can you keep a secret?"

"Of course." She replied happily

"Marceline… Bonnibel loves Marceline." He stated rapidly

"So?" Farrah asked shrugging and replacing the book for another.

"In that way." He said hushed

"Yeah, so?" She repeated confused "Love is love… You really can't help who you fall for." She smiled and looked at the book's blurb. She returned it and tried to reach the one on the top shelf.

He laughed at her attempt to reach for the book "You're right." He sighed passing her the book "You really can't."

"Do you mean that for you and Fionna?"

Bubba's eyes jerked away and he bit his lip "How do you know about Fionna?"

"Its obvious… Just like its obvious she likes Marshall Lee."

"I never had a chance… since we we're little she had chosen him. It was last year… but I realized she only noticed me because Marshall was dating Ashley."

"Maybe Fionna just isn't the girl for you." Farrah stated flipping through the book "No offence, she's cool and all, but she isn't exactly the sharpest knife in the drawer." She smiled

"Yeah… that would be you." Gumball teased and the girl blushed

"Maybe you should just be what she wants from you… a friend." She smiled and he smiled back.

"You are so wise." He grinned "Thanks for listening."

"My pleasure." She smiled and walked towards the check out table.

"Bubblegum, can you hand out the sheet music?" Lady asked the strawberry blond girl. Bubblegum ho had been spaced out looked back at the teacher and nodded.

She made her way around slowly. Making sure, she got every student. "Thank you Pebbles." Jake smiled as he took the paper

"Thanks honey." Cake said from the seat in front of Jake.

"Thanks" Marshall Lee smiled and winked. "Tell her," He muttered to Bubblegum, whose eyes widened in shock. She swallowed as she made her way to Marceline, who was behind Marshall.

It was as if everything was in slow motion. Marceline looked up, her dark brown eyes staring right into Bubblegum's bright ones. Once reaching the girl, Bubblegum was already bright pink. "Yo, Bonnie I there something wrong?" Marceline smirked

"What?" She asked touching her face to feel the heat. "Oh… umm… here." She passed Marceline the paper and quickly walked back to the seat next to Lady. This was more work than she expected it to be.

"Hey what's that?" Fionna asked the girl in front of her.

The blond girl with the intense green eyes looked up to Finn and Fionna staring. "It's called Beemo. It has every video game ever made and plays music and videos. It was a camera too." She grinned.

"Cool!" Fionna exclaimed

"Yeah, it's pretty fun."

"Nice board." Finn smiled at the skater girl, pointing to her skateboard

"Oh, thanks. I'm Susan by the way." She smiled

"Finn." He smiled

"Fionna." She grinned

"Do you have any candy?" Susan asked smiling sheepishly.
