Cheerilee was resting in her chair as she was grading her students work at the Ponyville schoolhouse after the day. She was tired from the day so she couldn't wait to get home and sleep. She wished she could take a day off some day by refusing to show up to teach as she needed more breaks than what was given to her.
As she sat there and graded them somepony knocked on her door she looked up to see Scootaloo waiting for her, she was not expecting Scootaloo to be there as class was over.
"Scootaloo you should be getting home or looking for your friends, you never stay after class." Cheerilee pointed out, Scootaloo knew that her teacher would mention this if she showed up like this. She sighed.
"I know that but I have a reason for staying here believe it or not." Scootaloo began to say, Cheerilee has no idea why Scootaloo had said that and she was growing suspicious of Scootaloo.
"Are you trying to cause trouble Scootaloo? I don't want to give out any more detentions as I don't like giving them." Cheerilee warned. Scootaloo shook her head as that wasn't what she wanted.
"Of coarse not. I just want to talk to you. If you don't want me to do that I can just go to somewhere else in Ponyville. Sorry for bothering you." Scootaloo said.
"I didn't say that I didn't want to talk to you I was just wondering why you were still here, you not need to get upset over a question." Cheerilee said as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh sorry about that that was my fault as I'm sensitive look I stayed behind because I couldn't speak to you while the whole class was here, there's some things I can't say when they are in the room. I even had my two friends go without me." Scootaloo answered.
"What is so important that you need to say Scootaloo? Don't go on a diatribe about it just say it before Celestia lowers the sun and it becomes dark in Equestria." Cheerilee stated.
Cheerilee waited for Scootaloo to speak as Scootaloo brought up a chair next to Cheerilee's desk and sat in it so she didn't have to stand a lot while she spoke to her teacher. Scootaloo finally sat down and with a slow smirk spoke.
"I want you to tamper with grades this isn't a request." Scootaloo demanded, Cheerilee chuckled as she wasn't going to allow Scootaloo to boss her around. She couldn't believe Scootaloo stayed only to tell her that.
"Seriously? You really think ordering me is going to make me change your grades? What in Equestria brought this about?" Cheerilee asked with a laugh. Scootaloo wasn't amused.
"Because if you don't it's going to look like your failing me, you haven't given me a good test score last year which is causing suspicion about you throughout the town." Scootaloo said.
Cheerilee thought that she was ridiculous as the townspeople shouldn't be looking to much into it as it was Scootaloo's fault that she continued to get bad grades.
"Scootaloo your hilarious! No good grades will be given to you until you actually improve and start working harder." Cheerilee said.
"I do work hard! Your sabotaging me!" Scootaloo screamed, Cheerilee couldn't believe that this accusation was being made as she wasn't trying to do that, it wasn't her fault that Scootaloo was failing.
"I'm doing no such thing, you can improve if you really want good test scores. Your distracted in class and you don't pay attention and when you do you can't wrap your head around simple explanations." Cheerilee said. Scootaloo felt enraged by what she heard. She was not going to let that slide.
"Yes I do pay attention in class! I haven't been distracted since two years! You have a vendetta against me and it pisses me off! I used to be clueless when I was younger but I'm older now and I know what's going on! Now give me an good grade or else!" Scootaloo yelled. Cheerilee laughed at what she had heard as Scootaloo sounded so pathetic trying to be tough.
"Oh your so funny sounding like that! What could you possibly do to me?" Cheerilee asked. Scootaloo grinned and held up pictures with her mouth of Cheerilee kissing Mayor Mare. Cheerilee became embarrassed.
"How did you get those! There private so give those back to me! Cheerilee screamed as she reached for the photos. Scootaloo pulled them out of Cheerilee's reach.
"Not until you give me good grades. Say these were very hard to come by, it's amazing what the private directory has access to...it would be a shame if these were sent to the teachers administration...." Scootaloo said.
When Cheerilee heard that she pissed herself. She knew exactly what Scootaloo was going to do if she didn't give into Scootaloo's demands, she felt trapped and helpless as she couldn't argue or get out of this one unless she gave in and did what Scootaloo wanted her to do.
"You wouldn't dare! You snot nosed brat!!!" Cheerilee yelled at her, this insult didn't deter Scootaloo though as she just kept grinning.
"Oh but I do dare. If you don't fix my grades these will be leaked to the public, you would lose your job get called into parent teachers meetings, get ridiculed and be shamed until you leave town. That's my final warning." Scootaloo said with an evil grin.
Cheerilee could not believe the situation she was in, she was an adult getting blackmailed by someone smaller than her and getting blackmailed by one of her students, she could be ruined if the photos were to be shown, she was so frightened and angry about it all.
"You monster! This is black mail! I could report you for this!" Cheerilee yelled but Scootaloo just grinned even more as she had leverage over her teacher it made her feel satisfied.
"If you go down that route you should do it quickly...it would be so terrible if these were released by the time you even filed one. If you don't fix my grades by tomorrow these will be published in the newspaper for all of Equestria to see." Scootaloo threatened with a smirked. Scootaloo turned around and left the Ponyville school housewhile whistling a tune.
Cheerilee screamed as she felt so enraged her entire life was going to be ruined until she changed Scootaloo's grades, Cheerilee knew that she should have checked the stuff that she was putting in the directory instead of cramming stuff in.
Cheerilee couldn't believe what was happening, she thought over her two options, she could report Scootaloo and risk having the pictures leaked or she could fix Scootaloo's grades.
After a bit more though Cheerilee fixed Scootaloo's grades and mailed them to Scootaloo, Scootaloo gave the photos to Cheerilee and she put them away for safety. She was going to be more cautious around Scootaloo from then on.
