Ahoy hoy ^_^ Probably my last chapter for a little bit because of school and stuff, you guys understand right? So anyway, enjoy! c:
Bonnie looked over to her clock that read 3:17am, she hadn't been able to get to sleep that night. The only thing on her mind was Marceline. She jumped slightly as her phone buzzed loudly letting her know that she had a message, squinting her eyes to see the bright screen making out the 'n_n' face Marceline had saved her contact as. Opening it made her smile like crazy as she read the message 'get out of my head'. Confused as to what she was feeling she decided to ring her best friend from her home town Rainie. Rainie was an intelligent Korean girl who Bonnie had been friends with since they were kids, they cried buckets when she had to move away.
Rainie answered in a grump not realizing who it was, "Ugh do you realize what time it is?"
"I know, I'm sorry Rainie."
"Bonnibel? What's wrong? Are you okay? What happened?"
"Oh nothing, I just wanted to talk."
"It's three in the morning Bonnie."
"I know, I'm sorry, I'm just having trouble sleeping."
"That's fine, so what's up?"
"I think I like this person-"
"Oooh what is he like? What's his name? What does he look like?"
"Well he is tall, dark hair, beautiful eyes."
"Go on!"
"He compliments me, opens car doors for me, look me on a date to the beach and kissed me."
"Oh wow Bonnie, he sounds amazing!"
"He is, he really is."
"Do you think he will ask you out?"
"I don't know, what do you think about gay relationships?"
"Why would you ask me that?"
"I don't know, it just came to mind."
"I don't really have much to say about them, I honestly do feel a little uncomfortable around gay people but that's just me I guess. Why?"
"Oh I made a friend and she's gay and I just don't know what to think."
"Make sure she doesn't try and turn you over to the dark side." Rainie said in a joking way but Bonnie didn't appreciate the unpleasant joke.
"The dark side?"
"You know, make you one of them."
"I don't really think being gay is a choice."
"That boy you were talking about isn't a girl is it?"
"No, that would just be silly...Right?"
"It would be a little weird, because you're not gay Bonnie!"
"I know…"
"Be careful okay? And let me know how that boy goes!"
"I will, I miss you."
"I miss you too, I have school in the morning so I better go."
"Yeah me too, I love you Rainie."
"I love you too Bonnibel."
Bonnie hung up the phone more confused than she was ever was before, she couldn't stop reading the text message Marceline had sent her.
Bonnie still awake that morning made her way down to the kitchen.
"Oh Bonnibel, you're up!"
"Yeah I didn't get much sleep last night."
"So how was your first day of school? I didn't get a chance to talk to you when you got home."
Bonnie remembered that when Marceline dropped her home the day before she had ran straight up to her room without saying a word to her dad.
"Yeah school was okay, I made a friend."
"Oh really, a friend on your first day? That's really good Bonnie."
"Dad, what do you think about gay people?"
Her dad coughed as he choked on his coffee.
"Why would you ask me something like that?"
"I was just wondering."
"Well, uh, yes, um…They are a little weird don't you think?"
"Weird, like how?"
"It's just not normal, I don't think. I've never had much opinion, but you know what your grandparents are like with things like that. Why do you ask?"
"Oh there's just a lot of gay people at my new school."
"I'd stay away from them if I were you Bonnie, who knows what they will try and do to you."
"Great, thanks dad."
Bonnie started to walk out of the kitchen quite upset with her dad's opinion.
"There's cereal in the pantry for breakfast I think, we will go food shopping after school."
"Sure thing dad."
Bonnie walked upstairs and collapsed on her bed, she read the text Marceline had sent her last night again and sighed.
"No you get out of my head."
As Bonnie walked through the halls she was pulled to the side by LSP who was standing with a few others.
"Oh my god Bonnibel! You like, totally disappeared yesterday!"
"Yeah sorry, I had some stuff to do."
"These are like, my friends. This is Wendy and Silvia. Wendy and Silvia, this is Bonnibel."
The two girls waved happily to Bonnie. Wendy was an average size, she wore a red shirt with green jeans and had rosy red cheeks. Silvia was quite short and appeared to be very sick, Bonnibel wanted to tell her about the slimy snot running slightly out of her nose but she didn't have the heart.
"It's really nice to meet you girls."
Bonnie noticed that they all seemed to be looking off to the side of her, she could have sworn they were basically drooling. Bonnie felt an arm wrap around her shoulders.
"Hey princess, how are we today?"
Bonnibel looked up to see a smiling Marceline, she shook her off moving over slightly out of her grip.
"I'm okay."
"You know Marceline?"
"That's so cool!"
"I only met her yesterday. I have to go."
Without another word Bonnie quickly walked away, Marceline being around just added to her confusion and she didn't need it.
For the rest of the school day whenever Bonnie saw Marceline she would try and hide or run in another direction but as she entered the canteen there was nowhere to hide.
"It will be so fun! Bonnie you have to come."
"I guess it will be good to meet some people, what do I wear?"
"Marceline's like totally coming over here you guys! Do I look okay? Bonnibel help!"
"You look great LSP, would it be weird if I hid under the table?"
"Bonnie."
Bonnie stared down at the table once again ignoring Marceline.
"Oh hey Marceline! You should totally sit with us! I was just inviting Bonnie to my party this weekend!"
Marceline accepted LSP's invitation and sat down next to Bonnie and placed her hand on her shoulder.
"Did I do something wrong?"
Bonnie was speechless, knowing that Marceline had thought she was the problem gave her a sickly feeling in her stomach. Marceline placed her hand on Bonnie's cheek and turned her head to face hers staring into her eyes.
"Hey, talk to me."
"You wouldn't understand."
Marceline was shocked as a tear streamed down Bonnie's face, she wiped it away with her thumb and pulled Bonnie into a kiss. Just as their lips touched Bonnibel pushed Marceline away and stood up.
"You think you can just kiss whoever you want whenever you want!"
"Bonnie-"
"I've already told you that I don't like girls, what's wrong with you?! Just leave me alone." What Rainie had said to her replayed in her mind. "I won't let you turn me into something like you."
Bonnie ran off before Marceline could say anything else with all eyes in the quiet canteen on her, she felt guilty about embarrassing her especially when she hadn't done anything wrong. Bonnie did kiss her back yesterday at the beach, that moment played over and over in Bonnie's mind as she ran through the school halls with tears streaming down her face. Not looking where she was going she ran into someone, looking up it was no other than Marceline's brother, Marshall Lee.
"Hey are you okay?"
"Marshall."
"It's Marshall Lee."
Bonnie took a step backwards.
"I'm sorry Marshall Lee, what are you doing here?"
"I was just dropping Marceline's note book off to her, hey why don't you give it to her?"
"I don't think Marceline would want to see me."
Marshal Lee finally saw the tears streaming down her cheeks, assuming his sister had made her upset.
"Do you want to talk about it? I have nothing better to do and you look pretty upset."
Without thinking Bonnie agreed, she had no one else to talk to and she was upset, lonely and confused. This wasn't how she thought she'd start out at her new school at all and she didn't know what to do.
