Thrown to Die Chapter 8
I compiled every piece of evidence I had into a ten-minute video and uploaded it to my social media account.The title was "The Complete Truth About the June 12 River Swimming Incident"It began with my repeated attempts to stop them, followed by screenshots of the group chat showing them bragging about their reckless stunt, and ended with an official statement from the city's water rescue team.[In unfamiliar waters and without proper rescue equipment, non-professionals should never attempt a hands-on rescue in fast-moving water. Doing so puts both the rescuer and the victim at unacceptable risk.]I didn't try to gain sympathy or cry. I simply laid every piece of the truth out in the open.Less than thirty minutes after I posted the video, public opinion completely reversed.[Holy crap! This is one hell of a plot twist! She completely exposed the people spreading lies!][I take back everything I said about her. This isn't heartless—this is textbook composure and professionalism

After more than half an hour of frantic searching, the rescue team finally found Graham unconscious near an abandoned sand dredge downstream.When they pulled him from the water, his stomach was badly swollen, his face was bluish-purple, and he'd inhaled a dangerous amount of water. He was still breathing, but barely conscious.The paramedics immediately began emergency treatment before loading him onto a stretcher and rushing him into the ambulance.Watching her son being taken away, Mrs. Spencer collapsed to the ground, sobbing.As for Brett, the fake coach, he was taken straight into police custody when officers arrived.During questioning, he quickly admitted that he wasn't a professional outdoor instructor at all. He'd only helped organize a few company team-building events for small businesses. He knew a little, but not much. He didn't even have a lifeguard certification.I thought that would finally be the end of it.They'd paid the price for their stupidity and arrogance

I'd just left the hospital after getting stitches when my phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.The moment I answered, a girl burst into tears."Daelyn! Graham and the others are in trouble! They got swept away! Please, you have to come save them!"I stayed calm. "Did you call 911? Did you contact the water rescue team?"The girl screamed hysterically, "That'll take too long! They'll be dead before anyone gets here! You're the swimming champion! You're the best swimmer! You're the only one who can save them!"They wanted me to save them?Me? A patient who'd just gotten more than a dozen stitches in my arm?They expected me to jump into a fast-moving river with no rescue equipment and save a group of grown men who'd ignored every warning?I didn't waste another word on her.I hung up, immediately called 911 and the water rescue team, and clearly reported the location and what had happened.My dad and I got in the car and headed straight for the abandoned dock.Before we'd

My dad looked at the students, who had all fallen silent, and spoke coldly, "I've already notified your homeroom teacher. Now leave this place immediately and wait for the police and the water authority to handle the rest."Though Graham and the others were unwilling to back down, my dad's intimidating presence left them too afraid to argue. On the surface, they all nodded in agreement.The moment they turned away, however, Graham exploded in their private group chat.[Who the hell does Daelyn's dad think he is? Why's he sticking his nose into this?][Seriously. He's just some washed-up rescue worker. What's he so full of himself for?]Zara's livestream had been cut short. Cradling her shattered phone, she shot me a venomous glare.When she got home, she grabbed a backup phone, maliciously edited together the footage she'd recorded that afternoon, and uploaded it as a short video. The video showed only me being swept away and staggering back onto shore, along with my dad sternl

For the brief instant my body was weightless in the air, I didn't scream in panic like most people. I didn't flail, either.I immediately tucked my head and curled into a ball.It was the first thing my dad had ever taught me. When you're thrown into unfamiliar water, protect your head. You never know what rocks might be hiding beneath the surface.Splash!The freezing river swallowed me whole. The current was far stronger and colder than it had looked from shore.The moment my feet dropped, there was nothing beneath them. I couldn't touch the bottom.A powerful sideways force instantly seized my body and dragged me toward the middle of the river.A reverse current!I didn't dare fight it head-on; doing that would only drain what little strength I had.Instead, I angled my body with the flow and swam as hard as I could toward the slack water near the bank.At first, laughter rang out from shore."Hahaha! Even the champion falls into the water differently!""Look! She's floa

Without a second thought, I pulled out my phone and dialed 911."Hello, I'd like to report an emergency. A group of students are about to go swimming in the river near the abandoned docks on the south side of town. The water there is extremely dangerous."As soon as I hung up, I called our city's water rescue team and reported the exact same situation.The moment everyone saw what I was doing, Zara was the first to scream, "Daelyn, have you lost your mind? You actually called the cops? If you don't want to join us, just say so! Did you really have to call the police? We're graduating seniors!"Graham charged over and jabbed a finger in my face. "What the hell is wrong with you? What if this goes on our records? What if it comes back to bite us later? Can you take responsibility for that?"I looked at him calmly and answered one word at a time, "Going swimming in a restricted area will get you nothing more than a warning."But if someone dies, it'll ruin the rest of your lives.
