The Geek and the Cheerleader

"You can do this, Cloud." the young tanned-colored boy mumbled to himself, his light-blue hair standing on end on his scalp. "It's that simple." He looked at the locker again, then down to the envelope in his shaky palms. Cloud Tumble gulped and stepped towards the locker, and froze once more. His head arched to look down the hall of Canterlot High and heard three footsteps coming towards him. He knew the sounds of Snips and Snails all to well, along with their usual worshipping of the school's cheerleader captain: Trixie Lulamoon.

"Shi-!" Cloud panicked and in his haste, poorly shoved the letter into the small locker opening. He then fled the scene rather clumsy-like. Trixie looked rather annoyed at her two "fans" as she walked through the hall. Her slender body took long beautiful strides as she walked, allowing her bosom to wobble slightly in her bra. Her cheer sweater swayed loosely on her torso and her skirt rustled against her legs as she walked.

"Ugh. Why don't you two just...go get me some pop?" Trixie finally said to Snips and Snails. The two looked at each other for a moment as if in thought. "Yes, Trixie!" they said in unison, almost like they were programmed. They then skidded off to fetch Trixie the requested drink, despite not knowing her favorite kind. The light-azure cheerleader sighed and brushed her long white hair to one side as she opened her locker.

The envelope fluttered down, landing at her feet. At first she took no notice of the envelope, instead lazily grabbing her purse. Then as she closed the locker, she noticed it at her feet and picked it up in curiosity. It was wrinkled and slightly damaged as it had been shoved into the locker with haste. Trixie shrugged it off without caring, and opened the letter as she was walking home.

'To my dearest Trixie, your charms on the field amaze me and enchant me so...

Your beauty is unparalleled by anyone else in the school...

And...

With my heart, your tumbling cloud."

She looked back up at the school. "Tumbling cloud, huh? I hope you'll write again soon." She giggled and folded the letter carefully in her purse.

"I think she liked it!" Cloud said as he fist-pumped in joy. "She didn't even throw it away! She actually read it!" he said happily as Trixie left the school grounds. "But it's not enough, I should write another." He said to himself, thinking up the next love letter for his crush.

The next morning, Cloud hurried over to Trixie's locker with another letter. It was put in a pink envelope this time, with a heart-shaped stamp. The sun had barely left the horizon and the smell of cleaning products, courtesy of Mr. Discord, were still fresh as the boy approached her locker. this time, he took careful steps to place it inside, but the letter was a bit too big so he had to fold it once over before slipping it in her locker. Cloud's chest was pounding and he retreated to home room. He opened his backpack and took out a small thermos of hot cocoa to calm down. He was sweating little and his knees felt weak, yet he felt overjoyed as well. He gave a second letter to his loved one, and thought it better than the first.

His body began to settle down from the love rush, and his cocoa was almost gone. The school bell finally rang, snapping Cloud out of his love trance. Other students trickled in and took their designated seats.

Focusing on schoolwork became a task in and of itself for Cloud. Whenever he looked at the pages of the textbook all he could think of was his next letter, and what he would, then should, write. After what felt like hours the bell for lunch rang. Cloud quickly gathered his belongings and heft for the cafeteria. Today was Thursday, which meant that the cheerleaders had practice, preparing for the big game tomorrow evening. Cloud entered the cafeteria to see the cheer squad in uniform and eating like normal. The skirts were a bit smaller than what Trixie would normally wear, and the top was nice, exposing her belly button and deep cleavage. Cloud adjusted his glasses and noticed the open pink envelope sticking out of Trixie's purse. His heart almost soared, pounding in his chest. She had read AND kept the letter, and Cloud was already thinking of ways to swoon her more.

He ordered his meal and took his seat at a table, to get a clearer view of the cheer team. "I can't just tell her...can I? Not with all the other cheerleaders there... Wait, I know! Tomorrow! After the game, I'll give her another letter and meet her under the bleachers!" he thought as he ate his lunch. Like every Thursday the cheerleaders left early for their practice, and as they left Cloud watched the captain herself glance around the room. It was brief, and she seemed a bit distracted herself. Trixie caught up to the other girls, shoes gently tapping against the floor. The sounds of the cafeteria and the students drowned out whatever the cheerleaders were saying, preventing Cloud from picking up their conversation. He shrugged and finished his meal, putting the tray on the cleaning side and left for the computer lab.

The screen blinked its usual blue opening and after signing on, Cloud opened up a writing program with a click of the mouse. He looked at the screen for a moment, fingers on keyboard, while thinking. He started typing, but stopped and deleted what he had worked on. He looked at the keys for a moment and groaned. It was going to be a long lunch hour.
