Chapter 9
A Trip To Hong Kong
Xia Pov
"Who are you, please? Why do I see you and not others?"
I questioned myself.
I noticed the crowd looking at me started murmuring among themselves; some said," Don't you think she is acting weird?"
Some of the guys said, "Maybe she is trying to get over her boyfriend who dumps her for another; I feel that's the reason she is acting crazy."
I got angry at this; I yelled at them all, "What the hell are you all looking at and saying about me? I dumb him and not the other way around," tears dropped from my eyes, and they started leaving; I turned to see if I will see myself still looking at me, but hell no, she wasn't, maybe am losing my mind already.
"Calm yourself, dear friend, please," Lisa said calmly to me.
" I saw someone who looks exactly like me looking at me, the same girl I see in my dreams with different names," but I felt unfortunate when my friend Lisa doesn't even believe what I say.
"I hope the trip to Hong Kong will help you get over many things, and I know you might meet love there; you will forget everything about Chad as well," she said with confidence.
" Let's get going, for I am tired of your sermon; what kind of friend are you anyway that doesn't believe in anything I say to you," I growled, leaving her behind as she tried to hasten her footsteps to meet up with me.

I started getting myself ready cause of the trip to Hong Kong, coming very soon, did some shopping with Lisa, and arranged everything needed for the journey and all my materials I will be using to document.
I wished to start something new, so I got a camera that I will be using to snap over there, and I believe I will get some memories that I can remember with pictures.
I hope I can have dinner with my father and cousin over there.
I decided to try my luck in calling my father after arguing with myself.
I dialed his number, and it was just ringing without getting a response from him.
I called up to twenty times, but still, he didn't answer the phone call; I started crying at this; I was hurting inside.
"If my dad is not picking up, maybe he is busy at work; let me call Xinyan,"
After trying Xinyan number three times, she finally picked up, and I was so happy.
" Hello Cousin", I said, wiping off my tears.
"What is it, Xia?" she asked.
" Oh Xinyan, you called my name, this is the best thing that has happened to me today, hearing my name from my cousin, thank you, I was thinking, what if I come to.." I kept on talking and never knew she ended the call while I was still talking.
At least she answered my call and called my name; I am happy about this alone.

Finally, the deal day is here today; I didn't have any negative dreams around; Lisa and I took the taxi to the airport, meeting up with the rest students.
It was time to enter our flight which we did with all excitement, but I had to take a picture of the departure.
I keep getting nervous to see my family and so eager to visit my late mom's grave.
After few hours of flying, we arrived in Hong Kong, and another bus came and took us from the airport to the place we are to stay; I took more pictures.
Luckily, Lisa and I got paired to stay together as roommates; in this short period of living here in Hong Kong. We are free to explore around Hong Kong, but always inform your supervisor assigned to your group to be on the safer side.
I love it here, and I jump on my bed instantly, same with Lisa, we took more pictures together and dance, slowly I forgot about Chad and the nightmares too, I didn't dream about anything for some time now.
Sleeping on time and I got welcomed with another nightmare about the same girl who looks like me, promising she must rewrite her history and create peace as she wished.
I wake up sweating, but Lisa calmed me to sleep back, but it was still the same dream continuation when I closed my eyes.

I was walking to and fro in my room feeling weird; I wasn't expecting anyone, but why do I feel that someone important to me step into the country.
I became so uncomfortable, and a knock at the door snapped me out of my thoughts; knowing it was Ming, I permitted him to come in.
"Good day, My Prince and naughty best friend," he said with a smirk on his face.
" I take that as a compliment; I hope you are here to tell me you got bitches as a gift or?" I said, smiling at him.
"You are a sex god, my good friend, but that's part of it as usual, but don't you think you need to be very careful, my prince? If the enemies see this as your weak point, they will have no option but to ride on it," he said in a calm tone.
"I don't fear that the way I will have sex with the enemy, she is going to forget her task," I boasted as we both laughed out.
"Jokes apart, but what is the actual reason for you been here? Is it a good one?" I asked.
" Yes, a good one, the students have arrived, the one's letter you approved coming to our homeland, their projects in visiting the top museum you have no interest in visiting, I am afraid now they are around, one of the days you will have to visit them in the museum and give them a warm welcome speech as tradition demands," he said to me.
"Well, I believe among the students, I might have fun with some cute and sexy girls, so my going there won't be in vain," my friend's reaction was as expected before he left.
The notification on my phone sounded loud; I went to check the phone and saw checkmate, have gotten a match, and it shows Xinyan.
She even sent me a message, how desperate it is for her, and I am just here to have fun but let me be the gentleman now. I said with a smirk on my face.
To be continued.
