A Dream and An Epic Failure of A Classmate

I'll first tell my dream. To not forget it, I even wrote it at the back of my notes as soon as I arrived at school earlier this morning. Here goes...

There was an event at school. A rumor was spreading around about ghosts and demons wandering around the campus. I got this information from a boy who passed by me in the corridor. When I turned to look at the boy once more, he had already disappeared. Instead, I saw a little bald child running towards me. I remembered what the boy told me.

"A demon sometimes walks down this hallway in the form of a child. He haunts classes until it ends and everyone leaves the room."
Scared, I ran to one of the classes and tried to blend in with the other students. The child soon got into the room and sat beside me. The child (or whatever that is) is trying really hard to get me to look at him. I feared that if I look straight into him, something bad will happen. I avoided that child until classes were over and I hurriedly went out of the room.

Outside, I saw familiar faces, Mel and Olivia, looking for someone. We all headed towards the school elevator but saw a huge number of students gathered around it pulling and pushing a wooden ram through the elevator doors. They were yelling something like...

"Spirits be gone! Spirits be gone!"

 When the doors opened, one student went in and to everyone's surprise, the alarm sound went off. It was already overloaded with only one person inside. The group continued with what they were doing before and we proceeded to the other side. Suddenly, I got separated from my company. When I saw some other friends heading up the stairs, I decided to follow them. I was using the stairs to climb up since I had no other choice when those crazy students were up to their exorcism. I saw Mary Ann, our class president in high school, and I greeted back when she said hi to me. I continued on to climb up but I was feeling a little dizzy. The railing, the steps, they were all shaking slightly. When I reached the rooftop, my dizziness were so great I needed to sit it out. I only had so little time to admire the scene when a huge shake hit the area. I saw how another building collapsed. The shaking grew bigger instead of stopping. The building were we were at started collapsing, its great fall. My mind told me it was the end and all of the person I met a while ago and everyone I cared for flashed before my eyes. Were they able to escape? Was there an evacuation I had not known about? No. There could not have been one. I am still inside school premises even if I am on the roof. Questions still flooded my head. Will everyone below die? Or will they survive this crashing building? These questions continued until I lost consciousness.

When I came to, there was a man before me and told me that I was fine. I was not sure if he really was referring to me but I remembered the falling building. I rushed to see what happened to the others. I walked over to the site and found two guys on stretchers. Jeff and another guy had survived. Jeff gave me a high five and I said hi to the other guy. Then another guy in a stretcher was brought near us.It was my classmate, Matt. He has a lot of little wounds and the health team was applying some kind of blue ointment on it. I asked what it was for but they did not give me any in depth details.

After a while, my parents came to pick me up and so I bid the guys goodbye and had one last look upon the rubble piled on top of those I knew. At home, my parents served me all things I wanted but I asked for something not in the dining table. It was a squid.

Phew...this dream narration was rushed so it's really crappy. Anyway, I'll move to my fail of a classmate.
First class ended early so together with two other classmates, Mel and CG, we went for a walk around the university campus. At one point, we stumbled upon some posts by the medicine students about smoking and lung cancer awareness. We were reading what they did when Mel started pointing on one of the pictures, asking what that was. CG and I laughed our hearts out when the picture Mel was pointing at. She totally panicked!! Luckily, she has some micropore tape with her and decided to place the picture back in place. We moved closer as she finished to do so and found out she taped it wrong that the picture was 180 degrees rotated. It was totally hilarious if you were on the site. After that incident, we bumped into two applicants for the entrance examination and they asked Mel where they could find a photocopy machine. Mel pointed to the copier near us with NO ONE watching over it. She forgot that it was lunch break so no one would be staying at any other photocopy area. She even gave directions to the applicants before realizing that the areas would be open at around 1pm. Embarrassing? YES.
