post 3 - Minerva and Sarah's glasses (not returning them yet ;)) Unforgivably Cursed | adultescent
Ethan sighed. This was a lot harder than it looked. Was there some sort of trick to it? He looked around, noticing other students catching stars.. then he had an idea. Maybe if he propelled himself off of that wall, he might have an easier time pushing through the air. His coordination didn't seem to be all there today.
He started to swim towards the closest wall when he heard someone shouting rather loudly about glasses or something. Turning in the direction of the girl, Ethan felt something hard and hot hit him on the side of his head, just behind his ear. Obviously one of the meteors, he thought, as he brought up his ungloved hand to rub the sore spot. Oh wait.. that rock had been pretty hot.. it didn't singe his hair right there, did it?
Panicking slightly, Ethan glanced around the area and spotted Minerva not too far away. He swam over towards her and said in a hushed voice, "Hey Min.. my hair isn't burnt here, is it? A meteor hit me.." The boy gestured to the spot a bit behind his ear. He couldn't really tell without looking.
Ok, this activity was starting to lose its appeal. Not only was he failing miserably at catching these shooting stars but now his hair might have been burned in the process. Wait.. didn't someone say something about glasses? Ethan vaguely watched as a pair lazily floated past him and he stuck out his hand to catch them. Sure, he could catch glasses but apparently not stars..
