Off the diving board

You nod in agreement. You'd do anything to escape this awkward predicament right now. So you take a nice peek at the water. Almost empty. Very tempting for your body right now. Hmm. Your eyes glance over to the diving board...

That diving board looks really fun to jump off. It's not too high either, so you won't have to worry about intense heights. You stare at it for much longer than intended... it looks very tempting right now.

Christina notices it. Her embarrassed expression has morphed into a smile at this point. Even a subtle smirk. "Hey Sam! You should jump off that diving board. Do a flip and all of that." She doesn't intend to pressure you, but part of you wants to impress her.

"A flip off of that? Only if you buy me some McDonald's after this." You return a subtle smirk of your own. At the same time, you also invited her to hang out after.

"Ha! You're so on, dude!" Christina and you shake hands before hopping into the water with a 'woo'. As soon as she reaches the surface, she has a wide grin on her face. "This is super refreshing! I'll be watching you while I do some laps, so don't think you'll be able to fool me!" She playfully sticks her tongue out a little.

You're glad that everything is all swell now. As for the diving board, you proceed to head to the top and toward the edge. You look around for your best friend - she's cheering you on from a distance.

So with a few deep breaths, you do the best front flip you can into the water. You land into the water with a nasty thud. But it's better than doing an accidental belly-flop at least.

When you finally resurface, you let out a sigh of relief. You did it! But when your hand moves downward on instinct... you realize your swim trunks have fallen off.
