Summer had just ended and It was time for the school year to start.
It was Scootaloo's first day of school, she stepped out of the limousine Alfred parked in front of Gotham Elementary. "I hope you have a good day, Mrs. Phillips." Alfred said.
"Thanks Al, see ya later." she said as she walked into the school, wearing her backpack, which was black with a yellow lightning bolt on it. She put her hand on the door and took a deep breath. "Okay, Scootaloo, you are not a pony anymore, you are a human, your name isn't Scootaloo, it's Ashlyn Phillips. Just blend in." she then opened the door to the school and walked in.
As she walked through the hall, all the kids stared at her, whispering to each other. "That's Ashlyn Phillips, Bruce Wayne's ward."
"She lives with Bruce Wayne, she's loaded."
"She's a rich kid."
Scootaloo tried ignoring the stares and made it to her class room. She opened the door and stepped in. There were a few other kids at their desks, waiting for class to start.
Scootaloo sat at an empty desk, which was the third desk in the second row of five desks. A few minutes later, more kids came into the room and sat at their respective desks. The bell rang and the teacher walked in, she was in her 40s, had long brown hair that went down to her shoulders and she wore glasses, a violet skirt, and a blue shirt.
"Good morning class, welcome back to school. I hope you all had a great summer." she said. "Today, we have a new student, come on up here." she said, waving for Scootaloo to come up there and she did so. "Why don't you introduce yourself to the class?"
"I'm Ashlyn Phillips."
"Do you have questions for her, class?" the teacher (her name is Mrs. Elmira) said to the class.
"What's it like to live in a mansion?" one kid asked.
"It's cool, there's a lot of space." Scootaloo answered.
"What's it like to be famous?"
"Awesome, it's cool to be recognised by a lot of people."
After a few more questions Scootaloo Sat back down in her chair. "Alright students, we are going to start the day with a little math. Now I will hand you your pencils, papers, and calculators." Mrs. Elmira said as she passe out the items.
Scootaloo looked confused about the calculator. "Mrs. Elmira, how do you work this?"
Mrs. Elmira told Scootaloo how work the calculator and she understood. Mrs. Elmira walked back to her desk as Scootaloo began to work on the first math problem. It was 2 + 8, she knew the answer to that and put the pencil in her mouth and started to write with it, she then heard giggles and snickers around her and she looks up to see some kids smirking at her and some stairing at her awkwardly.
Scootaloo saw that they only held pencils in their hands and quickly put the pencil in her hand, grinning sheepishly. She then worked on the answers and after 5 minutes, the teacher took the papers and put them on her desk. "Alright class, we are going to be learning the history of Gotham, starting with it's founding in 1784."
After about an hour, it was lunchtime, Scootaloo had a fruit salad, baked beans, and mashed potatoes on her tray and decided to sit at a random spot. "So, you're the new kid." Scootaloo looked up and saw an African American girl, wearing a blue T-shirt and grey pants and a Japanese girl with long hair, she wore a purple hoodie and a purple skirt, both girls appeared her age.
"Hi." Scootaloo greeted.
"Hey, name's Chloe." said the African American girl. "And this is Kiki." she introduced the Japanese girl.
"Hello." Kiki greeted.
"So, you're new here to Gotham?" Chloe asked.
Scootaloo didn't know much about Gotham, so decided to go for that. "Yeah. I use to break a few laws when I was on my own, so I snuck on board a train and came to Gotham."
"I'm new to Gotham too, I moved here two months ago, my dad switched jobs and started working at Wayne Enterprises as an engineer." Kiki said.
"Me, born and raised." Chloe said.
It looked like Scootaloo had new people to call friends. "Call me Ashly or Ash."
"Call me Chlo."
"Call me Ki."
Scootaloo then bent her head down and big into her mashed potatoes and looked up to see Chlo and Ki looking at her awkwardly. Scootaloo smiled sheepishly and picked up her fork and used it to eat.
