cannot find iCloud contacts within "contacts > groups" on iPhone

I've searched various discussion areas and cannot find a solution to this problem. I'm running 8.3 on my iPhone 5, and for some reason, I cannot see "iCloud" when I select "groups" within my iPhone contacts. Consequently, my contacts are not syncing with iCloud.In addition, when I select Settings>mail, contacts, calendar>contacts, there is no iCloud account to select from, and make the default account. Finally, when I select settings>mail, contact, calendar, > accounts> my contact information, it does indicate that my iCloud account is "verified". I've reset the phone, but i cannot seem to change the default account.Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks.
