Waterfall naiad

I’m really bad at hiding my emotions for people, just short disclaimer. when we finally got back to school, someone was like what do you think of _____? I got all, how am I supposed to react kind of embarrassed and just said yeah she’s cute and a great person as confidently as I could. She was there with the rest of the group and she thanked me for the kind words. I was like well I’m just being honest. I really appreciate you. She looked at the my face and rubbed my chin (I’ve been growing out what little facial hair that I have over quarantine) and I was like yeah thats about as much as I got, I’ll probably shave it in a couple of days. The next scene I was trying to climb up a short waterfall maybe 15-20 feet tall in this little stream with somewhat of a shallow swimming hole at the bottom. A bunch of people from school were having fun in and around this place. Someone had dared me to climb the waterfall although in all honesty I probably was the one who suggested it. I started climbing towards the left side and some of the rocks and plants and things didn’t have water flowing over them, but they were all wet and slippery. I took my time and had a couple of almost slips and I made it to just below the base of the waterfall almost bear hugging the rocks desperately trying to hang on and not be swepted down. The clif continue for another few feet to my left as the creek kind of cut along the edge of it. I was fumbling around almost blind from being so closely clinging to the wall and all the spray when a hand softly grabbed my wrist and pulled slighty, guiding it to a root that made an easy hand hold. I felt to see how much weight it could hold before pulling myself up to the top of the waterfall. When I looked to see who had helped me at the top, it was ____. At first I was kind of suprised to see her up here and not with the people down at the bottom. The next part she held out her hand and looked at me in a kind of do you trust me way. I felt really relaxed by her there as I took her hand. She started to wash my face in this deeper section of the creek above the waterfall gently scrubbing my nose and cheeks. (No not those cheeks you perve). This was kind of a weird scene tbh she slowly let me sink into the water until just my nose protruded but I surprisingly wasn’t worried. I just relaxed and rapped my hands around her bare midriff to keep from drifting down the stream. I really think that this dream encounter sounds more like a naiad because she didn’t want to be scene by the others and my brain just added someone elses name to that character tag.
