First Day of High School
It was a lovely September morning at Elizabeth and Daredevil's house.
"Wake up, honey! Time for school!" Elizabeth called from downstairs while her husband Daredevil was sitting on the couch, eating his breakfast of toast and a glass of milk.
"Is it school time already?" her daughter Bubble called from upstairs.
The filly then came downstairs and used one of her wings to grab her breakfast of eggs and sat beside her dad. Bubble was a daddy and a mummy's filly but she was more of a daddy's filly. She had her mum's body colour, her dad's hair colour and had her uncle Magnus' eye colour of gold which was also Elizabeth's cousin Dahlia's eye colour. She was best friends with Hugh, Jacinto and Moonlight and had been since they were in diapers. She had a little crush on Jacinto and she suspected that he had one on her. Bubble was also eleven years old just like her best friends.
"Time for you to start your first year in high school, young filly." Daredevil said and he patted his daughter on the shoulder.
"What if I don't fit in with the others, Daddy?" Bubble asked in nervousness.
"You will, sweetie. You know that Jacinto, Hugh and Moonlight will be in your class and onwards. You'll be just fine. I may have been made fun of for not being able to fly but I showed them." Elizabeth said as she put the cups, plates and glasses into the dishwasher.
It was already difficult to do it without magic.
"Honey, I only fit in at school because I was a rebel and I did it with class but I don't recommend it because you might get suspended from school a bunch of times." Daredevil said as he put down his piece of toast and hugged his daughter.
"I'll see you after school, Mum and Dad!" Bubble yelled as she trotted out of the door with her saddlebag.
Bubble trotted excitedly to the high school and she then flapped her wings to try and fly but she then fell to the ground and she felt a pain in her foreleg. She heard a colt's laugh behind her and she turned to see the colt with a white coat, black hair and dark red eyes. She hated him since nursery school.
"Oh hello, Spar. Did you get your cutie mark over the summer?" Bubble asked sarcastically.
Spar then nodded and Bubble got a feeling of defeat. She looked at his flank and saw he had a black belt as a cutie mark.
"I see you didn't get yours, Ostrich. And you still haven't learned how to fly." Spar said as he laughed then he walked away before giving a high hoof to his best friend, Poppy.
Bubble then walked through one of the gates of the high school. She heard laughing from the one of the benches at the front doors and noticed her best friends.
"Moonlight, Hugh, Jacinto!" Bubble called out and her three friends turned to her.
"Bubble!" all three of them galloped up to her and they all got into a group hug.
"You're crushing me...!" Bubble said in a choked voice.
"Sorry, sorry, sorry." the trio said and they brushed themselves off.
She then stared at her friends. Hugh and Jacinto were twin earth ponies but their appearances were different. Hugh had his dad Bromley's body colour and eye colour and his uncle Sven's hair colour. Jacinto had his mum Dahlia's body colour and had Bromley's hair and eye colour. It was so easy to tell them both was a unicorn filly, she had her mum Autumn's body colour and eye colour and had her dad Derek's hair colour.
"Are you excited for high school?" Moonlight squealed in excitement and they all laughed.
"I just know that colts and fillies that we didn't like are going to be here but hopefully different classes but it's likely a few will be in our class." Bubble said in annoyance and defeat.
"Anyway, did anything good happen over the summer?" Hugh asked as he gave a grin.
Before anypony could give an answer, Jacinto turned to a unicorn filly who had a curly light blue mane and tail, she had a light yellow body and dark purple eyes. Her eyelashes were very long and had a star necklace around her neck. Jacinto had his mouth hanging open while Bubble looked with jealousy and Hugh and Moonlight looked at him in confusion. All the other colts except Hugh had their mouths hanging open.
"Jacinto?" Moonlight tapped him on the shoulder a few times but he didn't budge.
She then looked at the filly that he was looking at then tapped him again but he still didn't movie. The bell then rang and Jacinto shook his head. The four friends walked into the school then went to the assembly hall and sat in the front seats. After over half an hour of the principal talking, all pupils were handed their timetables.
"Yes! We're all in the same class!" Bubble said with excitement.
"Excuse me for a bit, will you?" Jacinto said and he walked over to the filly that he saw this morning.
"Umm... hi." the filly said in a quiet voice.
"Do you need help with anything?" Jacinto asked calmly but she shook her head slowly.
Before she said anything, he then noticed her timetable and she was going to be in the same class.
"I'll... see you in class..." the filly said and she then walked away slowly.
"I didn't get your name." Jacinto said in a nervous voice.
"My name is Starshine." the filly said then she walked away out of the hall and to class.
Jacinto walked back to the others and Bubble gave him a confused look.
"Let's get to class now." Jacinto responded in a nervous voice then he trotted off to class.
The others except Bubble who just stood there and she gave a sigh of defeat before walking off to class.
