Swimming Pool Dream

I went to an entertaining show, like the ones at Disney World where they dive and stuff into a pool and throw flaming sticks around, etc.

I was there with a girl that I know of, I haven't seen her in a long time. Her name's Janet. She was someone who would hang out in the circle of friends I had around the end of HS, and the few awkward years after graduating.

I was going to throw her into the pool from a diving platform. She is small, so this would normally be a fun and easy thing to do. But there was a railing at the edge of the platform, so I had to throw her from underneath the bar. I didn't want to throw her too short and have her hit the crowd or the ground. I swung her forward and back a few times.. you know.. 1... 2... 3... But I didn't throw her.

The crowd was watching, some were cheering, then they waited in suspense to see if I'd do it. I didn't. It was hard not to throw her with the crowd wanting to see it, but it just didn't seem safe, and really I started to think about how this would be annoying and inconvenient to her. So I didn't do it, even though it would disappoint some people.

Any ideas?
