*Damian's POV*
Time: 6:30 AM
Date: Monday, Aug. 10, 2019

I yawned, sitting up in my bed. Sunlight shone through the curtains, illuminating the clouds of dust that was otherwise invisible to the naked eye.
Something had to have woken me up. I was never up this early.
Something ringed and I sighed, already annoyed.
My alarm clock.
"Damian. You up?" Someone yelled.
That was Dick Grayson aka Nightwing. He was kind of like an older brother to me.
"Yeah I am." I murmured. Unfortunately I thought. What is today? For some reason, I couldn't remember.
"Damian, it's the first day of school. You wouldn't want to be late." Nightwing called.
I bolted up.
Now I was awake.
I got out of bed and raced downstairs.
"Yahooo!" I shouted as I slid down the banister.
"It's the first day of school!" To be honest, I was very excited.
I ran to the table.
"Good morning everyone!" I said.
Barbra snickered.
"What?" I asked.
"Damian, your clothes." She giggled.
I looked down.
I was wearing my Robin suit.
"So?"
"You can't wear that to school."
"I'm not going to."
"But still!"
"Master Damian, are you going to eat your breakfast?" Alfred asked.
"Yeah. I am."
I sat down to eat the pancakes, eggs, and bacon Alfred had made.
My good mood was gone, replaced with one of tiredness and frustration. In other words, I was mad.
Why did Barbra have to point out my outfit like that? I thought, sourly. She could have just told me, not laugh about it.
"Hey, Alfred, where's Bruce?" I asked the butler.
"He's at work because of an emergency." He replied.
"You mean he he won't be able to be there for my first day of school?" I asked.
Great. Just another thing to add to my list of disappointments. I grumbled. First Barbra now this?! I sighed in exasperation and angrily finished my breakfast.
I rushed upstairs to my bedroom and...tripped, landing flat on my back.
Well done, Damian. I muttered to myself. Now you'll start your tenth grade schoolyear off with a broken foot.
I angrily looked around for whatever had caused me to trip. I spied a black box with a yellow bow. I was tempted to kick it down the stairs but I was also curious as to what was inside. I debated what to to do.
Eventually, curiosity won over, and I sat up pulling the box closer to me. I undid the bow and looked inside. There was a backpack, a binder, a pencil case and a school uniform, all the same colors: black, blue, gray, and white.
A note was attached to the tie of the uniform. It read:

Dear Damian,
I'm sorry about missing your first day of school but I will make it up to you. I promise. I hope these items can help you have a great day of school.

I love you.
Your dad, Bruce.

P.S. There is a new teacher at Wayne Prep. Mr. Urie, I believe. Tell him Batman said hi.

I chuckled. Only Bruce would ask me to tell a new teacher Batman said hi.
But then, I got nervous.
New teachers were...unpredictable. They were either nice (good) or mean (really really bad for me).
I got dressed. My good mood had returned. I was determined to make today the best day it could be.
I raced downstairs.
I was ready for anything that came my way.
