After dancing for what felt like hours, I finally had the chance to crash on my bed and take a fat nap. 

I don't know how people can dance for such a long time and not get tired, especially Elena. We danced through three sets of music and I damn near had a heart attack trying to keep up! Still, Elena made the pain fun and being with her makes the pain go away. 

It felt good to get some R and R, until I felt someone tap my shoulder. 

"Yo, Joey. Wake up, my guy." Logan said. He sounded far away in my head, but I really didn't feel like getting up.

"No, man. Three more minutes." I said drowsily.

"Joey, if you don't get up, I'm gonna fart on your pillow."

I didn't respond... until I heard the sound of a belt being unbuckled. I quickly rose up and rubbed my eyes.

"OKAY, okay! I'm up! Damn!"

"Ha, you better get up. You had enough beauty sleep. Come on, we just got to the most amazing place on the planet! I wanna get the best view, front and center." Logan said as he closed his duffle bag and put it on.

I got off my bed and grabbed my stuff from under it. As I did, I caught a glimpse of the resort from our window, and man, it looks so beautiful. Okay, no time to waste. Once I grabbed my stuff, Logan and I headed to the exit, leaving the ship behind. 

Once I got off the ship, the resort came into my view and it looked phenomenal. When I step off the boat, I was greeted by a lady who was passing out necklaces made of flowers. 

"Welcome to the Royal Diamond!" The lady said happily as she raised the necklace. I lowered my head and she put it around my neck. 

"Thank you."

Walking on the boardwalk, I saw the white sandy beaches and the crystal clear water of the resort. People were relaxing on the beach, getting some sun in and playing in the water. In the distance, I saw a group of guys on jet skies, ripping across the water, racing each other, and crowds cheering them on as the raced by.

"Aye, Garcia! Stop daydreaming and bring your butt over here!"

Turning around, I saw Aaron waving at me with the entire class walking on. I jogged over to Aaron and joined him.

"Sorry, I was too busy looking at the beach. I mean, look at it, look at that sand! It's literally white!" I exclaimed as I pointed to the floor. Aaron peered over and raised his brow.

"Yeah, sand is cool, but did you check that out" Aaron pointed up and and I followed. 

Looking up, I saw this huge volcano towering over the entire resort!

"Holy crap."

"Holy crap indeed. That's a big bitch. You know how tall that thing is,Joey?"

"I have no clue, I might do some reading on it later, but right now, I'm just... wow."

The volcano was above all the wildlife on the resort. Forests surrounded the volcano, but even still, it was nature untapped by modern society and it looked amazing. This place is just so beautiful. Aaron and I took a few more seconds to gaze and followed the group to the main building. 

When we got closer, we got a better view of the Royal Diamond Resort itself. The resort was smaller compared to the island, but towered over most of the land. It honestly looks like the White House, but way more fun and less diplomatic. There were multiple windows lining up on each side of the resort and logos for the resort it self plastered on the side. People were walking in out of the place; workers, normal people, but one person stood out.
