I remember that the two classmates he pulled into the water, a girl and a boy, were dating. I think the teen had a crush on the girl, but I might be wrong. I think the boy was kind of a punk or had a bad reputation or something. I remember there was some kind of a large rock or plateau that teenagers liked to swim out to, I feel like they had a certain name for this rock but I can't remember what it was. The teen swam up behind the rock and I think he was insulting the boy and grabbed the girls leg, but I could be wrong. I think the girl slipped because the teen grabbed her and the boy tried to hold on to her and that's why he fell too. I think they blamed what happened on the boy, a lady saw what happened from the front side of the rock and to her the girl screaming "No! Stop!" while the boy was hanging on to her looked like him trying to take her top off. I also remember them holding a memorial for the teens out in front of the rock they fell off of. I think they lit candles on little boats or something and sent them out in the water. Does anyone have any idea what book I'm talking about?

You were right- the book is called "Blackwater," and is by Eve Bunting. http://books.google.com/books/about/Blackwater.html?id=o2mR-YUD4roC
