I didn't know which way was up.
One moment, I was watching the snowball Amaranth threw rush at me. The next, all I could see was the sky. Then I'm blinded by the powdery, deep snow that flies around me as I fall into it. I had tried to prevent my falling, but the ground was slippery. My feet being buried so deeply also meant I hadn't been able to move them fast enough to steady myself. I wasn't hurt, of course. There was too much to cushion me. However, that didn't mean I was alright with the situation.

Amaranth's laughter was louder than everyone else's- and they were laughing pretty loudly.
"Whoops! Sorry, Meadow! I thought you would have no problem dodging that one." he called.
My attempt at wiping the snow off my face failed. My gloves were coated in the stuff as well, meaning I only spread more over my skin. I blinked the water out of my eyes though to see Amaranth already turning away from me. The snowball fight my friends and I were engaged in had not lessened in intensity for one second because of my fall. Just the fact that Amaranth had stopped briefly made him get pelted from three different directions. In the time it took me to blink again, he was fleeing from his attackers.

I didn't bother to get up for a good while. I hadn't seen Amaranth's snowball coming, so falling over had taken the wind out of me. Then there was the plain truth that I just wanted the fight to stop. When Sunset had called that morning saying she and the others were planning the outing, I had been all for it. The six of us had been doing things like this everyday since winter vacation started. A day full of fun had been what I was expecting. There had been no way for me to know how off my game I would be. I was slipping and sliding all over the place in the snow. My shots went wild. I couldn't dodge a thing. I was spending more time pulling myself up after falling than I was enjoying myself.
