Winter morning, and I see fluffy snow for the first time in my life! Though it wasn't that good an experience initially, as I fell headfirst into the snow and almost froze to death. Anyway, I am better now, after a hot bath and a mug full of hot chocolate. Snow is fun, when we are all wrapped up and not paralyzed by the biting cold.

I love winter, but I live in a desert, so winter means cool breezes at night, and the lowest temperature being 17 degrees Celsius. My cousin who lives in the UK, visits us, and we complain about how cold it is, while she is like, "It's normal weather, what you feel here, back in the UK, we got negative numbers,"

For the winter holidays, my parents decided to take us to somewhere snowy, so here we are. My parents told me, "Samaa, we think you can go skiing yourself for now, your little siblings are too young to ski down the big mountain, so we'll take them to the smaller one,"

So, we separated our paths, and I went to the ski lift, quite long, and my parents and my little siblings went to the small slope.

I was walking absent-mindedly, and not caring about my surroundings, because I felt that without my family, I was the only human being left on Earth. Without looking, I got up on the nearest ski lift, opened my eyes, and saw the corpse of my cousin sister. I screamed, and she woke up. I wanted to jump down, but it was too late. So, my cousin and I are cousin sisters, and we hate each other's existence. She is jealous of me, and I hate her for how she acts around me. I don't really hate her, because I can't - she's a part of my family after all. So I just tolerate her existence, but we both know we hate each other.

"I thought you were dead!" we both said. "I was living the life here, hoping we'd never meet again, and here you are," said my cousin. "Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuhu!" I said, with a smile, and my cousin sister was looking at me as if she was looking at an alien from Kepler 22-b. "Wa Alaikum Assalam," she said, with her eyebrows angry. She can't tell what expression I'm making, because my entire face except my eyes are covered, so yes. "What the what are you doing here!" she asked, suddenly. "Uh, for vacation, you?" I asked. "I LIVE HERE!" she said. I was looking at her with my questioning eyes, "When did you move to-" I asked. "NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS!" she snapped. Okay, no problem if you don't want to talk.
