The average student in school, Chad, kept to himself and stayed within his own lane. Being a straight B-C student with most grades in the B range, it was a surprise to many that he got into Blackmore, one of the top schools in New York. Often shown as nerdy is his sister Mindy, who is into horror movies and wants to be a horror movie director, along with Chad, who has been a Varsity football player since 10th grade. With that came the stereotypes of the nerd and the airhead jock; his name was not really helping his case.
Spring break was just around the corner. Lucky for Amber, one of Chad's friends had given her enough money for them to head to Bali for a week until spring break ends. "Holy fuck, Amber, are you serious?" Mindy said with her ticket in hand, "Hell yeah, it took a little bit of bargaining, but you know I got the job done." Chad stared at his ticket in disbelief. "I can't believe you got us tickets to Bali for our break. Thanks, Amb!" Wes said with disbelief lingering in his voice, "You're welcome, guys. I can't wait to get away from here and just relax. I need a break from all this school work," Amber said as she took her ticket out of the envelope.
Yeah, I know what you mean, man. It's crazy how much work we have to do in such a short amount of time," Chad said as he pulled out his ticket and looked at the date Well, it looks like we have about two weeks before spring break starts, so let's go get ready!" Wes said it excitedly. The next two weeks went by in a flash; even Chad didn't notice the two week shift, and now it's am, and they are all at the airport running off of bottled Starbucks coffee just to get some kind of buzz to mentally wake themselves and go through the hellish process of getting on a plane.
"How long is this flight again?" Wes asked as they all walked to the terminal, Well, according to my ticket, it's about." Chad's eyes looked like they were about to bulge out of his head. The plane takes off at 6:20 am and the flight ends at 11:45 pm, meaning that they would be trapped on a plane with a bunch of randos in uncomfortable positions "29 hours"

Finally, the flight lands safely in Bali, and the group can finally stretch and move their bodies. "Ugh, I never thought that flight would end," Mindy sighs as she yawns. She stretches her arms above her head, feeling the stiffness in her muscles from sitting for so long. Chad nods in agreement, grateful to finally be able to stand up and walk around. The tired group stands outside of the airport and waits for the Uber that Wes had called for them. Even though their 29 hour flight had kicked their ass, at least they get to look at the pretty water to cool them down
Chad's eyes were attracted to a peculiar looking rock. Maybe Chad was facing major jet lag, but he swears he saw a person sitting on the rock. He was staring down. The mysterious figure turned to face the water where Chad couldn't see and jumped in, not coming back up for air. "Yo Chad," Amber tapped his shoulder, snapping out of his potential discovery. "The rides are here; let's go." Chad looked back at the rock, hoping that the figure would come back, but he knew that it wouldn't happen. Disappointed, Chad reluctantly tore his gaze away from the rock and followed Amber towards the waiting rides. As they walked away, he couldn't shake off the eerie feeling that he had just witnessed something out of the ordinary.
The Uber pulls the group into their hotel, and they thank the driver, and Amber leaves a tip They all take their luggage from the trunk, making sure that nothing is left in the car. Once they are in the car, the man wishes them a great vacation and sends them off to his next pickup. The group walked in, and the refreshing air conditioning immediately gave them a wave of relief as they walked up to the receptionist to check in The receptionist greets them with a warm smile and efficiently handles their check-in process. As they receive their room keys, they can't help but notice the elegant decor and inviting atmosphere of the hotel lobby, further adding to their anticipation for a memorable vacation.
Once Chad walked into his hotel room, he immediately felt a sense of relaxation and comfort. He felt like his body went limp as he sank into the plush mattress and fluffy pillows, feeling like his body plopped onto a bunch of clouds floating into a relaxed abyss that is sleep. The soft, soothing lighting in the room created a tranquil ambiance, making it the perfect space for Chad to unwind after a long day of travel. As he gazed out of the window, he was greeted by a breathtaking view of the city skyline, adding an extra touch of serenity to his experience.

Chad's eyes open to take in the beauty and tranquility of his surroundings. He looked down to see that he was still in the clothes he arrived to Bali in , a reminder of the journey he had just completed. Feeling a sense of contentment, Chad decided to change into something more comfortable and fully embrace the peaceful atmosphere that awaited him. Chad waited for the rest of the group to come out, knowing that it might take a while. Since jet lag kicks ass hard, he understood that not much would be done today, so why not explore the hotel for a bit till they decide to finally wake up
Chad's phone buzzed in his pocket, where he saw a text from Mindy
Minds: Yo Chad, we are going to go get breakfast and head down to the beach for a bit. Meet us at the dining hall, okay?
Okay I'll head down there now:Chad
As Chad began to walk, his mind raced around the figure. Was it an alien? Was it a siren? Was it a mermaid? Chad's imagination ran wild with possibilities as he pondered the identity of the mysterious figure. He couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement and curiosity, eager to uncover the truth behind this enigmatic encounter. As Chad met up with the rest of the group, he didn't really contribute to the discussion since his mind was so wrapped around the mysterious figure "Chad? Hey Chad!" Wes said as he snapped his fingers in front of Chad's eyes to catch his attention, "Huh? What? Yeah, what happened?" Amber rolled her eyes at Chad's obliviousness and sarcastically replied, "Oh, nothing important. Just the entire conversation." "We were talking about hitting the beach today and then going on that hike around the town and the mountains tomorrow," Mindy butted in to steam down the tension with Amber's comment. Chad looked sheepish and apologized, "Sorry guys, I must have zoned out for a moment. That sounds like a great plan, count me in!"
"Okay, so now we are officially set," Mindy exclaimed with a relieved smile. "Let's make sure we have everything we need for the beach and the hike. Sunscreen, towels, and plenty of water, right?" Chad nodded eagerly, eager to make up for his momentary lapse in attention. They all cleaned up the table they had been sitting at and went back to their rooms to begin gathering the necessary items for their outdoor activities.
As they packed their bags, Mindy reminded everyone to also bring hats and sunglasses to protect themselves from the sun. Chad quickly grabbed his favorite baseball cap and a pair of polarized sunglasses, excited for the adventure that awaited them. With their checklist complete, they gathered in the living room, ready to embark on their beach day.
