The boy was so distracted by his near miss, he hadn't noticed he had headed straight under a rock until he heard the loud PLUNK. "Talk about lucky,'' he muttered unable to believe he had gotten a rock without really trying.

Just as Jake was picking up his speed, something out of the corner of his eye caught his attention. Another body was coming at him full-speed. He dropped quickly, just as the other boy zoomed by him. "...Good luck!" Jake shouted after him.

Note to self: Watch other players. Taking a quick glance around the pitch, Jake realized just how many people were playing. With a slight frown, he dropped a few meters and looked around. Much better. Sure, there were less rocks that fell all the way down here... but even as he was going down, another rock landed on his head.

Plus, since there were less rocks making their way down further, there was less chaos and more of a chance to actually purposefully catch a rock. Sure, Jake would join the mess higher up in a bit. But for now, there was a rock falling nearby and no one around to catch it. Jake leaned forward on his broom, speeding up, and caught the rock right smack in the middle of the cauldron. He let out a celebratory "Whoop!" and pumped his fist in the air. First purposeful catch. That made... three in total. Not so bad.
