This is something

I was walking down the stairs, coming from the auditorium when one of my batchmates ran towards me, gasping for air and told me, 'It's out! It's out!' I was puzzled and asked her, 'What is?' She told me, 'The summative results. They're out already. They were just released. Quickly, go check and tell the others.' Then, she ran towards the elab.

I walked to elab 2. I randomly chose a seat and logged into my account. Little did I know, the internet was not working. I could not check my email for the results of whether I passed or fail. So, I had no choice but to go to AAD (Academic Affairs Department). AAD gave me a letter and I opened it with my trembling hands.

'You have scored really low as compared to your previous records. Please go to the Dean's office as she would like to have a talk with you.'

As I head to the Dean's office, I wondered... 'What's wrong? Did I fail this time? What's going to happen? Will I be kicked out? Perhaps, I was never fit to become a doctor.' When I reached the Dean's office, her secretary told me, 'She has been waiting for you.' I knocked slowly and gently on the door before I entered. It was like a classic scene from the movies where the principle's chair was facing me and her red office chair slowly turns. Resting both her elbows on the arm rest and putting her palms together, she told me, 'You did not do so well for Summative. You answered only 49 questions out of 50 where you skipped one and shaded the others incorrectly for OBA (One Best Answer).'

'But...', I said, 'It's not possible because I've double checked the paper before submitting it. I'm very sure of that.' Then, she said, 'Give me your name and I'll check the system to show it to you.' She typed in ESTHER in the computer and the computer saw many different Esthers from different semesters. Next thing I knew, she told me... 'I'm sorry. We must have gotten you mixed up with Esther Yap from Semester 4. You may leave now.'

I don't even know if there is such person. Because... it was all a dream.
