It was her, too.
I think that's why I remember it so well.
A bunch of us were hanging out, walking through this old dirt trail that led into the woods. We found what I can only guess might have been a house. Nothing too specatacular. Overgrown trees, missing entire parts of the floor, the sort of thing you would expect.
Then there was the cellar.
It was one of those big outside entrances, like a tornado shelter, all concrete and two giant rusted metal doors. Myself and another guy hefted a log and pryed the door open. The whole thing was flooded. I guessed rain water or something like that. It was dark as hell and it was murky. Naturally, someone suggested someone should check it out.
Being a raging sack of hormones, I volunteered. Handed my cell phone to the girl in question and gave her a cheesy wink as I dove in.
Upon hitting the water, I immediately realised how horrible of an idea this was. But I had committed. I reasoned that a few seconds would suffice. That's when my shirt caught on something. No idea what it was. Way too dark to tell. So I freaked out, ripping my shirt as I thrashed around in the water.
Of course, my exit was as dramatic as possible, leaving the dark cellar soaking wet and with torn clothing.
Kind of idiotic, in hindsight.
