Hey everyone! I'm back! So sorry about the no posts yesterday :| I was a little busy

Thanks to a review from SkystarOfMstClan and you'll have to see about who the boy was (ur probably right though) and I know Jayfeather loved Half Moon but I kind of like to think about him as Jayfeather being in love not Jay's Wing if you know what I mean

Too Shy

ICECLOUD

Finally, after an incredibly long first week of school, the weekend came. Icecloud was relieved she didn't have to complete any more tiring math problems or strain to remember when some random guy in history was alive. Still, she wasn't looking forward to the weekend as much as some students were. Icecloud had always been super shy which led to a worse school experience because her lack of ability to ask questions or communicate with the teacher and also talk to anyone in general. Her brother, Foxleap, had always made fun of her. Icecloud knew he meant no harm, but his insulting jokes had always left a hold in her heart. Bullies found it easy to pick on Icecloud because she was incredibly unpopular, and never talked back. Just earlier, Berrynose had shoved her into the lockers on his way to the cafeteria for breakfast. Icecloud's roommate, Hazeltail, was Berrynose's sister and bullied Icecloud every chance she got. Almost every night, Icecloud would bundle up under her covers and reflect on every bad thing that happened to her that day. Tears would fill her eyes and her throat would clench. If her 'wailing' became too loud, Hazeltail would come over and back her current activity on top of Icecloud. "Shut the fuck up asshole". On multiple occasions, Icecloud thought about going to Firestar and complaining but the thought of talking to a dorm head terrified her more than the bullies.

Icecloud went down to the cafeteria for lunch, taking the long route around in order to avoid Berrynose and his minions. Unfortunately, Antpelt and his girlfriend, Sunstrike, were heading down that hall and made a point of making fun of Icecloud's hairstyle. She put her hands on her head and began playing with her hair self-consciously when a couple of ShadowDorm juniors came up from behind her and gave her a shove. Icecloud toppled down to the hard floor and let a whimper as her nose struck the hard tile. Icecloud lay on the floor, not bothering to get up. Someone else will just push me down again. As the footsteps of the bullies grew fainter, some other steps sounded. "Is that a girl right there?" one voice said. "Yes it is! Let's go help her!" another cried out, this time it was a boy. Icecloud sat up as the new people came closer. Four students were in front of her. One girl came up to Icecloud's face and looked deeply into her eyes. The girl had greyish brown hair that was dyed white at the tips. She's really pretty. Icecloud couldn't' help thinking. "Hi, I'm Pebbleshine." the girl murmured, trying to keep quiet in case Icecloud had a headache. Pebbleshine was wearing light blue sky dorm robes and so were the rest of her group. Icecloud noticed. Everyone else introduced themselves. The boy was named Hawkwing and the other two were Hawkwing's sisters, Blossomheart, and Cloudmist. Blossomheart had light red hair and Hawkwing and Cloudmist had silvery hair. Icecloud noticed that all of their eyes held warmth and sympathy. She got up and introduced herself, feeling a little embarrassed at the state she was in.

Icecloud walked between Blossomheart and Cloudmist all the way to the cafeteria and was surprised how much the two sisters actually wanted to get to know her. The lunch tasted better in Icecloud's mouth now that she had friends, but she couldn't shake the feeling that all of her bullies were making fun of her from their own tables. That feeling was confirmed as she got up to grab some more food. Berrynose came over and knocked her full plate out of her hands and spilt it all over the floor. "Looks like you've found some losers to hang out with. Are they all pieces of shit like you?" Icecloud didn't say anything in response but just looked at the food smear on the floor from her now lost lunch. Don't cry Icecloud. You're fine. she repeated in her head over and over. She knew Foxleap wasn't in the cafeteria because Berrynose never had the courage to bully her in front of him. Suddenly, a boy stepped between Icecloud and Berrynose. "Stop tormenting her you bitch." the voice cried. Icecloud recognized her saviour as Lionblaze. He turned around and looked at Icecloud once Berrynose had gone running back to his table. "Are you alright? Berrynose should feel bad about wrecking your lunch like that. You should go get some more." Icecloud felt her cheeks rising as Lionblaze said the next sentence. "You are really pretty you know." Icecloud stared at his face, hoping there would be a fairy tale ending and Lionblaze would kiss her and they would run off. Lionblaze simply looked at her sympathetically and headed off back to his table. Lionblaze saw Heathertail congratulate him with a long kiss on the lips. I guess he's taken. Icecloud thought, sadly. She spotted Cinderheart watching the two kiss with the same sad expression on her face and felt a little better. At least I'm not the only one with a crush. Icecloud turned away and bumped into her new SkyDorm friends as they came rushing up. "Oh my god! What happened to you?!" Cloudmist exclaimed as they arrived. "I'm so sorry we didn't come sooner; we only just saw!" Icecloud didn't mind though. Without that, Lionblaze wouldn't have had the chance to save her. Icecloud headed back to her table with some more food and spent the rest of the lunch dreamily staring at Lionblaze.

Thanks for reading! I hope you like this chapter and this new version of Icecloud. I have also finally decided on the main conflict but no spoilers :) Next chapter will probably be Heathertail's POV

Please review and I'll see you soon!
