After three more pairs, Ookashi and Nate were called upon the stage. While Ookashi carried out the scene with elegance, Nate stuttered a little. He wasn't used to this kind of thing and he was only doing it to please Ookashi. The committee was weary by now. They liked Ookashi a lot, but Nate was nowhere close.
Other than Ookashi, they couldn't decide on anyone else to play the lead roles. Because Dmitri and Keisha had come in last, they gave them a chance to audition. They both got up from their seats and walked to the stage. Keisha looked at Adrianna smugly. She held Dmitri's hand and when she noticed that Adrianna had seen it, she squeezed his hand. Adrianna once again diverted her gaze. Since Ookashi had finished, she said, "Ookashi, I have to go. Let me know the results later."
Ookashi smiled and said, "Sure."
Niiya had been busy with the committee people when Adrianna walked out without giving a look at Dmitri. He wasn't hers… She had to shield herself from more heartache…
