The boys piled in the car to go swimming. Benny was in his favorite black trunks and Ethan was in his favorite green ones. Benny was buckled into his car seat by Ethan's mom. It was quick drive to the pool, and Ethan's mom held both of their hands the whole time.
"Okay, sweetie. Your father and I will be over here. Benny? That's for you to know, too. Don't go too deep in the pool! I will be watching, but in the event that I'm not looking, I trust you stay in the shallow water, besides, Benny is shorter than you, if you go a bit deeper and you can barely handle it, then benny certainly won't beable to handle it. Got it?" Both boys nodded.
"Good. Now put on your sunblock and then you can go swimming." The boys slathered on their sunscreen, and headed into the pool. Ethan got in first, like always, and stood behind the steps. When Benny got down to the second step, Ethan took hold of his waist, and gently lifted him into the water so he wouldn't slip. After a little of splashing and swimming and three games of Marco Polo, Ethan did exactly what his mom said not to do. He went into slightly deeper water. Neither of them knew, though, and soon Benny was following Ethan into the deeper water. Benny slipped underthe water once, not thinking of how he couldn't touch even the tips of his toes to the surface, but he slipped under again, and again, and the next time he didn't come up. Ethan didn't notice for a second, but when he did, he looked around frantically for a moment, before diving under the water. He pulled up the little figure and layed him on the concrete. Ethan's mom for the moment, had been looking away with her shades on as she applied another layer of sunscreen. Ethan climbs over the side of the pool and got on equal level with the concrete. Kneeling next to Benny, Ethan decided that the only way to save him was mouth to mouth.
He leaned Benny's head back, and brought his lips to Benny's. He blew into his mouth, to no avail. He blew again, and this time, the frail body sat up and started coughing. A slightly woozy Benny spoke.
"What..just happened, Ethan?" Blushing, Ethan responded, "Nothing." From then on, while in the deeper water, Benny sat on Ethan's shoulders, until they went back to the shallow water. His mother never did find out about Benny's accident in the deep water.
