Chapter Text
“That’s it, I quit!” She said storming off the stage and toward the cafeteria doors.
“Princess , wait!” But it was already too late. “Princess” Bonnibel Renfield had already left the music room they had been in since the beginning of lunch.
“Aw, don’t worry Finn, she’ll be back. She’s probably just on her monthly.” Jake said, “Come on, let’s get back to jammin’.” Finn sighed. He knew Jake was right, but lately it seemed nothing he did was right.
Finn Mertens was Ozland Opal Oxford High School’s Baseball superstar despite barely being a freshman. His adoptive brother, Jake Mertens, was the school’s Sophomore track team star. He also had a blood sister who got adopted by another family and was her school’s 7th grade basketball star , but that’s a story for another time.
With a family of sports stars, it’s not surprising that Bonnibel, or “Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum” as the school calls her, took interest in the younger brother and baseball star. Being the school’s clique leader and the source of all the bullying, she’s always looking for ways of improving her popularity.
“Princess Bonnibel Bubblegum” is a ruthless clique leader. With her flowing red hair, surprisingly perfectly tanned skin without a trace of a blemish, and wonderful attitude to authority, she has been able to not only climbed the school’s social latter, but also remain out of trouble with the teachers of the school, unlike the previous clique leader that she over threw.
Finn surprisingly is oblivious to her ruthless ways toward other students. He sees her fellow clique members bullying other students, and has always fought to protect them from her evil plastic minions, but he assumes that his “prefect princess” is unaware of her friend’s bullying ways, and neglects to tell her about them in order to spare her feelings. Bonnibel knows Finn knows about her friend’s ruthless downgrading of the student body and the reason he hasn’t confronted her about it, and she fights to keep it that way.
After a while, Finn started to question Bonnibel’s oblivion to the bullying situation, and she began to pick up on that. To avoid having him find out, she suggested they start a band to entertain the other students at the school during lunch time. Finn quickly agreed and began forgetting about his worries toward his “princess”.

“Alright Ms. Abadeer, your transfer from Sphere Night School has been finalized and your schedule has been set up. You’re welcome to start school today if you want.” Marceline Abadeer looked up at the principal and stared blankly at him before looking back down at the phone journal entry that she was working on. Half her face was covered with her hair, allowing only one piercing blue eye to show, while the other grew lazy behind her hair. She wore a rock band shirt and skinny jeans--- a common punk rock gothic look of anyone--- along with a black plain snap bracelet, and black choker necklace with a single clear crystal hanging from it. She would have piercings in places other than her ears, but her father, Mr. Hudson Abadeer, forbade it.
Hudson Abadeer was a common businessman who hopes that one day his daughter will follow in his footsteps and take over the family business. He also had a son, but when his wife died, he became aggressive and started hurting his children. Marceline, being the older sister, took most of the beatings to save her brother, but after he beat her brother while she was away babysitting, she began worrying for his life. So with the money she had saved up from babysitting and other odd jobs, she took him on a bus, and they traveled to their aunt, Hannah Abadeer, where he stayed while she returned to her father who had finally calmed down after realizing he had scared his children off. When he asked Marceline where her brother was, she told him the truth, but that if he ever went over to get him back, she’d call child protective services and tell them what he did to them. Since then, he has worked hard to please his one child that came back so that he didn't lose her too.
She used the fact that he was a push over to her advantage, granted he still had rules like she can't get piercings or have sex. She didn't really give a fuck. She wasn't like all those other sluts at her old school. Why had she decided to change school's again? Oh right, because the teachers were dicks, the guys were all jerks, be it jocks who like girls who are a perfect figure, or just general jerks who all want to get you into bed with them. It was a good school in the academic sense, but all those rich snobs think deserve anything they want. She despises them. They only ever get good grades, not by studying, but by having sex with the teachers, or bribing them with money. Okay that was over exaggeration. But that was the group she hung around for some reason. She got there on scholarship, along with half of the school. She was drawn into the popular crowd when they're last nerd transferred out. They seemed nice. But it was all an act. Even when she thought that a few of them were sincere, she was wrong. They were just looking for a bookworm who could do their homework. Marceline sighed.
“Marceline sweetie,” She looked up at her father who had spoken. “Do you want to start school today, or wait until next week?” She looked from her father the principal, and then back down. She didn’t really want to start school, but she also didn’t want to go home and suffer her father’s over loving attitude.
After a few seconds she finally spoke. “Alright.”
