Riverstreams

      Snow Puck twitched, waking me. "Snow...Snow...Look outside." I opened my eyes, growling. "Sorry River." He looked down at the floor, his mane falling down into his eyes.

   "It's okay." I kicked Snow Puck, his head lifting quickly. He fell out of the bed, making a loud noise on the ground. "You good?" I peeked over the edge. He was rubbing his head.

   "Yeah, I guess. Is it snowing outside, Fire Ball?" The unicorn nodded. The white pegasus got off the floor, racing out the door. I followed, watching Mr.Kareby walk out of his room. He smiled a bit, then went to get his coffee. His orange coat disappeared into the kitchen. Fire Ball brought my attention back to him. He was putting his coat on, struggling with the zipper.

"Here's your coat, River. It has our schools name on it." He handed it to me. I slipped it on, looking at the name. Chrysanthemum University. It was white, almost as white as Snow Puck's pelt.

  "C'mon! There is a fresh layer of ice!" Snow Puck opened the door violently, grabbing my hoof and dragging me out. The fresh layer of snow shone. "Your school is the best place for snowball fights!" I ran after him, my hooves thrumming on the icy ground.

"Wait!  Cherry Cheer and Blossom Daisy will be there...They'll hurt me..." I wiped away a tear. "Hit me...Beat me..." Snow Puck stopped. Fire Ball sat next to me, his eyebrows furrowed.

  "They ain't no more. They ain't gonna do it. Let's go." We stood, now walking. "Okay you'll go in first, then we'll come in, alright?" I nodded slowly. We trotted to the school, the fresh layer of snow covering the equipment.

  "Hello, Misfit." I turned to see Cherry Cheer and Blossom Daisy. Both had smirks on their faces. "What're you doing here. This is our space." The Unicorn spat. She walked forward, striking me with a hoof. I spat blood, shaking.

"Hey! Get off of her, you insignificant filly!" Fire Ball burst in. Cherry Cheer stepped back.

"Who are...They! Misfit! What did you do!" The pink filly growled.

  "We're her older brothers. And stop calling her Misfit. She got adopted." Snow Puck stepped forward, eyes blazing like a never ending fire. Blossom Daisy stepped forward, hitting him. "The name's Snow Puck. Number one hockey player at Chrysanthemum University. And you." He poked a hoof into her chest. "Are a bully."

    "We'll get you back, Misfit." They ran away. Fire Ball pulled me into a hug, rubbing my back. I cried into his chest. A cold snowball flew into my back.

   "It ain't gonna stop us from having fun, is it River?" Snow Puck had already started building a base. I threw a snowball at Fire, scrambling to find shelter. I built a small shelter, making snowballs.

    "Haha! ain't gonna get me now!" I threw a ball at Fire's shelter. The colts had teamed up. My family was around me...It gave me hope.
