Never to be a Peony or Camellia (2)

In my dream, I was in a hall, a competition was going on, one of my teachers in my course, she told me to look for our teammates, the selected and the standby teams.

They should come with our assistant, he was responsible for calling taxi, making sure they would come on time.

I went outside the university campus, walked to the main gate. I saw our student assistant was sitting on the pavement, arms embracing his knees, he was crying. Then I looked at the taxi, a seven seats van, the driver, the selected team (Peony and Camellia) were loss of consciousness sitting on the front roll. Their faces and foreheads were bleeding, and the front window of the van was broken.

Then I walked to the side of the van, I found the backup team (Elan and Gene) were crying at the middle roll.

While I was calling police, my teacher, Linda, rushed to the van and urged the backup team to ran back to the hall for competition.

And then I was inside the hall, I saw the boys were crying, and they had scored the lowest in this competition.

I woke up.

I pray to Jesus that I wish this accident will never happen.

I go to law school,this afternoon.  I've heard that Linda wants a second year student participate as helper, so I go to her office room and applying for the job.

It is the lawyer skills competition, and will be held on Easter Holiday at a law school of New Zealand.

Linda told me about the selected team, and the backup teams, they are the final year students; and an assistant, a first year student.

I met them in my dream.

Linda gave me the job, the first thing I need to do is to alter the tickets, because the organizer of this competition decided to change the date of this competition, one day earlier than the original schedule.

We have to take a flight from Hong Kong to Sydney Australia; then transit to Auckland, and then take a flight to Christchurch, and then take a flight to Hamilton, and then take a flight to Dunedin. If all the flights are on time, it will take us 24 hours to get there. We booked a van pick up us from the airport, deliver us to the hostel near university.

We are in the Hong Kong airport taking the 10 pm flight, (Hong Kong time) ; the next day we arrived in the university of New Zealand dinner party at 10 pm, (New Zealand time).

According to the original time schedule, first round competition should be held on Wednesday. Now changed to Tuesday. Early in the morning, the first year student, our assistant forgot to book a taxi. And the taxi company said that the only van is very busy this morning. Therefore, I am the only one got up early and took breakfast. We must run to the university.

We made it on time, and lucky enough the organizer provides us tea at 10 am.

The girls cannot get into the second round, I am relieved.

I sleep well at night.

The next morning we need not rush to the competition hall, so we walk slowly.

In the afternoon, the first year student tells me, "Taxi company gave a telephone call to me, asking me if we had booked the van this morning. They thought that we were in the van. It was smashed, the van hit the back of a big truck, the van driver was dead."

After the Easter Holiday, class as usual.

Elan asked me if I have any photograph of the trip?

I have to tell him the photo shop lost my camera film negatives, they gave me a new roll of camera film as compensation.

He told me all the camera film negatives were lost, which including Linda's, the girls', the boys', mine, and the first year student's.

The only photograph we have is the group photograph on the buffet dinner party on Tuesday night. It was given by the organizer.
