Hey-yo! This is the re-write of IN THIS CITY :D I hope you guys like it and I hope this will be better than the first ^^; Well, on you go to the first chapter~

Marceline Abadeer... Scratch that. Marceline McQueen walked up to her new, better, school. She scoffed at it and scowled deeply. 'Psh. Another new school... Hope fully it will be my last.' The raven haired teen thought to herself. She then walked up the steps in her red boots. She was holding a punk rock look, she had messy long raven hair, a grey tank top underneath a black leather jacket and black knee-ripped jeans that were tucked into her favourite red boots. Yep, she looked like a total bad ass.

She went over to the registrar and collected her schedule from the lady behind the counter.

"Your first class is in room 214." The registrar explained, "That's on the second floor."

"Thanks." Marceline said and headed for her designated room. Maybe I won't attract that much attention for once. That could probably lead me to not getting kicked out this time. She thought to herself. Oh well, only time will tell.

She finally made to the room she needed to be; Rm. 214.

She knocked and a woman with white hair opened. "Oh." She eyed the girl up and down before speaking. "You must be Ms. Abadeer."

"McQueen." The raven haired teen growled.

"Pardon?"

"I prefer McQueen than my father's surname." Marceline explained.

"Oh, I see. My apologies Ms. McQueen." The teacher corrected herself. She then gestured for her to come in to the class room. "Please, come inside now."

Marceline stepped inside and stood in front of the class as the teacher called their attention. "Class." Marceline straightened her jacket as the teacher introduced her. "This is Marceline McQueen. From this day, she will be in this home room. She's new so be nice."

"Hi Marceline." The class greeted her in a monotone chorus.

"Sup." she replied,

"Alright Marceline, you may now take your seat." The teacher instructed. Marceline looked around and saw that the only available seat left was in the back, next to a kid with blond hair and what seems to be a white weird bear hat. She shrugged. I've seen weirder. She thought and walked over to the bear hat boy.

As she seated herself, the teacher resumed whatever it was they were previously doing and the kid with the white bear hat turned to Marceline and said, "Hi."

Marceline studied him for a second. He was blond with sparkling blue oh-so-innocent eyes. He was wearing a plain blue shirt, dark blue cargo shorts and black converse. And there, of course, was his weird white hat.

"Hey." Marceline replied.

"My name's Finn. Finn Humano." He grinned and revealed that he was missing one tooth. "I'm 15 and that," He pointed over to a sleeping dirty blonde boy wearing an orange hoody in a seat in front of him. "Is my brother, Jake."

"Cool." Marceline said, and she meant it. It must be cool to have a brother in the class as you. As long as he's not a spoil sport though.

"Are you sure you're a sophomore?" Finn asked, "'Cause you look like you should be a junior. What are 'ya, 18?"

"Actually, yeah, I am." Marceline smiled, "I actually started pretty late." She explained, "What about your brother, he looks 18 too."

"Ah... Well, Jake was held back." Finn explained and Marceline snickered a bit at this.

"How come?" She asked,

"He used to cut a lot of classes during his first year. He hocked stolen bikes, snatched purses. He was then put into counselling He's good now. He didn't know it was wrong." Finn grinned.

Marceline laughed again, "You sure seem more mature than he does." She smiled, "Must be nice to have a brother who cares."

"It is." Finn grinned, "Can I see your schedule?"

Marceline nodded and handed the blonde boy her schedule. He studied it for a while before saying anything. "Cool. So we have 1st, 3rd to 6th period together, and Lunch. You're 7th and 8th are pretty close to where you're 3rd period is so it won't be hard to find." Finn explained.

"Thanks, now I can't use the excuse that I got lost for being late. Thanks a lot Finn." Marceline said sarcastically.

Finn laughed at this, "You're really cool Marceline."

The raven haired girl smirked at this, "You too Finn."

After 1st period, they walked out together. Finn introduced his brother to Marceline. They walked Marceline to her next class. She thanked them with a fist bump each.

"Thanks dudes." She said,

"No problemo Marceline." Finn grinned at his new friend. He loved making new friends. Especially radical ones.

"Yeah dude, see ya later." Jake said. Once that was over with they left the rock chick to her class.

She went inside and noted that there weren't that many people yet. She took a seat at the back and stared out the window, getting lost in her own thoughts for the moment.

Soon, students started piling into the room who were followed by the teacher.

"Alright Class, settle down." The teacher instructed and the students all stopped talking and took their respectives seats. As the teacher finished preparing his things, he noticed Marceline and cocked an eyebrow. "I see we have a new student in our class. Hello, I am Mr. Harris." He said and then pointed to Marceline. "Please. Introduce yourself."

Marceline stood up and the class looked at her. "Hey, My name's Marceline McQueen."

Before the teacher could respond to Marceline. There was a soft knock on the class room door and somebody entered.

The first thought that came to Marceline was: Wow, she's beautiful.
The person who entered was female. She had luscious pink hair the fell down her back. She was wearing a light pink vest over a simple white blouse, A dark pink skirt and pink boots. 'Wow she loves pink.' She was also carrying some stack of papers.

"Ms. Masters, to what do I owe the pleasure?" Mr. Harris said as he greeted the teen.

"Good day to you too Mr. Harris." Ms. Masters chuckled, "I just came by to bring you these." She said and handed over the stack of papers.

"Oh my, thank you very much Ms. Masters. I have been needing these for a while now." The teacher explained.

"It was no trouble, and please Mr. Harris, Call me Bubblegum." The pinkette smiled. Then she noticed that Marceline was still standing and was staring at her. Not that the raven haired girl intented to. "New student, Mr. Harris?" Bubblegum asked not taking her eyes off of the rock girl.

Mr. Harris noticed that he had not yet instructed Marceline to take her seat. "Ah yes." He turned to his student. "My apologies Ms. Mcqueen. You may take your seat now."

"Thanks." Marceline said quietly and took her seat. She then tore her gaze from Bubblegum, as did the pink headed girl. "Well, I'm afraid I must get going."

"Very well, Bubblegum. Go on then, I know how busy you are." Mr. Harris smiled.

Bubblegum bowed a bit and took her leave.

Mr. Harris then continued his class, not that Marceline was listening. She was too busy thinking about who 'Bubblegum Masters' was. As she was zoning out, she didn't realize that time had passed by quickly and soon enough the bell was ringing at their class was being dismissed.

Marceline finally got out of class and immediate saw Finn and Jake. Well mostly Finn cause the boy was flailing his arms over his head and calling the rocker's name. Marceline shook her head from side to side and smiled.

"Yo." Marceline greeted the brothers.

"Hey Marce." Finn smiled his boyish smile.

"Hey." Jake greeted.

"So how was social studies?"

"Boring." Marceline said.

"Yeah, that's true! Especially with Mr. Harris."

"I know! He just went on and on, like blah blah blah." Marceline agreed while using her hand and making it 'talk'.

As soon as greetings were finished the trio started walking down the hall.

"So what's the next class?" Marceline asked.

"We have biology next." Finn said as a matter of fact.

"Ugh... Sounds boring as tennis." Marceline said while sticking her tongue out. Then an idea hit her. "Let's cut."

"What?!" Finn exclaimed, "It's your first day!"

"So what?"

"Yes, let's!" Jake agreed. He was definitely liking this chick.

"Not you too! and you know that you can't!" Finn chided.

"Aw man. C'mon, it's just one class." Jake shrugged.

"It's a major!" Finn explained, "And besides, we have lunch after this one."

As they argued over whether they were going to cut or not they were already at the door of thier next class, Marceline sighed,

"So much for cutting."

Finn grinned triumphantly and went inside followed by Jake and her. Marceline was right, it was boring. So she slept through it. She woke up when Finn was shaking her, "Marce! Marce! Marcy!"

Marceline groaned, "Huh? Wha-? Where am I?"

"C'mon Marce. Lunch Time." Jake said with a smile. As if on cue, his stomach grumbled and so did Marceline's.

"Oh good. I'm damned hungry." The raven haired chick said as she stood up and gathered her belongings.

The left the room and walked down the hallway towards the canteen.

"Peebles and LSP said they'd meet us at the canteen." Finn said.

"Who's Pebbles? and LS- what?" Marceline asked,

"Peebles and LSP." Jake corrected, "They're our friends but they're Juniors. Peebles is really cool and LSP knows all the gossip."

"Huh. Cool. Oh by the way you two, you guys know anybody named Bubblegum Masters?"

"That's PEEBLES!" Finn practically yelled, ""Yeah, she's like a straight A student. The first Junior to be a Student Council President, She's also part of the events commity. She's also a intern at this science school, plus she's super rich. Oh yeah, she also used to be a cheer leader but she quit due to personal issues."

"Whoa." Marceline was surprised. That babe was ALL that? "So basically, she's the perfect babe that everyone is after?"

"Yeah." Jake agreed, "Like the ones in the movies, 'cept you know, she's real and all."

"Huh."

"And Finn likes her." Jake smirked.

Finn's jaw dropped and his face became beat red. "N-No I don't!" He denied.

"Awww, puppy love." Marceline joined in.

"Shut up!"

"Calm down weenie!" Marceline laughed, "We're just kiddin'"

Finn huffed as they entered the cafeteria. "I don't like-like her."

"Yeah man, whatevs." Jake snickered.

Once they got their meals they picked up their trays and found a place to sit.

"So where are they?" Jake asked as he started munching on his sandwich.

Finn put his phone away before answering Jake's question. "They're still paying for their food but, they'll be here soon enough."

Marceline was feeling a bit nervous about meeting Peebles. She didn't know why so she shrugged it off and ate her fries silently. A few moments later though they heard someone call,

"OH MY GLOB! HEY FINN!"

The trio of friends turned to see Bubblegum walking towards them, tray in hand, and beside her was who Marceline assumed was LSP, a girl who had purple everything. They sat down and Finn started introducing Marceline to his friends.

"Hey LSP, Hey Poibles." Finn greeted. "This is Marceline."

"Greetings." Bubblegum smiled.

As soon as the introductions and greetings were done, LSP whipped her phone out and started talking with someone named 'Melissa' and ignored everyone else.

Bubblegum turned to Marceline, eyeing her for a moment before speaking, "You're that new student in Mr. Harris' class." She stated.

"Uhh... Yep. That's me." Marceline smiled.

"So you're a sophomore?"

"Uh yeah... I-uhh... I started pretty late." Marceline said sheepishly.

"Oh... I see... Anyway, welcome to Ooo." Bubblegum smiled sweetly.

Glob she's so beautiful. Marceline thought, "Yeah, thanks." She said out loud.

They were enjoying their meal. Finn eating while telling a story on how He and Jake saved a kitten stuck in a tree and how they were 'Heroes', while Jake would only intervene when Finn forgot something. Peebles was laughing and commenting politely while Marceline would sometimes joke and tease. LSP was still on her phone while eating some chips. Suddenly someone came up behind them,

"Bonni, who are these chumps?"

Bubblegum grit her teeth before speaking and just groaned, making Marceline wonder.

"Ash!" Finn yelled as he stood up, "What are you doing here?!"

"I came to take my girlfriend back, chump." The bleach haired boy said.

"Look, Ash." Bubblegum said, her voice coated with venom. "I broke up with you for a reason."

"Yeah, look. I still don't get that. C'mon baby..." He trailed off as he reached for Bubblegum's shoulder. As soon as he came into contact, Bubblegum moved away. Actually leaning into Marceline, making the rock girl blush a bit.

"No! S-stay away from me you jerk!" Bubblegum screeched.

"C'mon baby, don't be like that."

Finn got madder by the second until he couldn't take it anymore. He walked over to ash, chest puffed out and he grabbed Ash's shoulder roughly, turning him away from Bubblegum.

"STAY AWAY FROM PB!" The boy growled. Ash merely scowled and lifted the boy up by his collar and without a second thought, punched him right in the cheek, sending him down to the floor. This made Marceline boil with rage.

"Hey! Pick on someone your own size!" She growled and walked over to him, sizing him up. They were now having a glaring contest.

"What are you gonna do about it, girly?"

"I don't hit pathetic dorks who pick on people smaller than him." Marceline scowled and turned away from the bleach haired teen to help her fallen friend. As she did, Ash grabbed her arm and turned her back to him.

"What did you just say!?"

"You heard me! Now get lost, and leave my friends alone." She jerked her arm away. Bubblegum was already starting to worry.

"You're a fucking newbie! You don't have any friends!" He exclaimed.

"Says the weenie desperate to get his EX back." She retorted.

That's when Ash snapped. He growled and did the unexpected. He punched Marceline square in the jaw. Jake was helping his little brother, but they both looked up in time to see it happen. Jake and Finn gasped, LSP's jaw dropped and Bubblegum gasped. Everyone was watching them.

Marceline stepped back and flexed her jaw a bit. Rage in her eyes. "Bad move, chump."

She charged Ash who was too slow. He tried to punch her in the head but she ducked and punched him in the gut making him double over in pain. As he was, Marceline grabbed his collar and kneed him right in the face, making him fall back on the floor clutching his face in pain. Marceline wasn't done, she was about to kick him when Bubblegum stopped her.

"M-Marceline! That's enough!" The pink headed girl screamed.

"This guys a total asshole! How could you ever have dated trash like him!?" The rocker screamed. She knew she had no right. She was a new comer but she did not feel any guilt or shame to what she had said or done or was about to do.

Then a teacher came, motioned to Finn, Marceline and Ash and took them to the office. Marceline looked back, Bubblegum had a worried look on her face. But Marceline didn't know weather it was for Her, Finn or her Ex.

TADA!

Tell me if it's better! :)

Ciao!
