I also read this in 6th grade. It was about these 2 friends who were biking and they decided to go swimming across a fast-moving river. Well they start and the one boy turns around and his best friend was just gone.
It turns out that he couldn't swim or something and he drowned, and his friend was so eaten up with guilt that he went home and didn't say anything to anyone. Also he kept smelling the river on himself, even after repeated showers.
