“Jasmine” Sandra called running after her
“That was…. Unexpected. I guess I will be calling the next participants since we don’t have much time to waste” Miss Natalia said
“No…give her few minutes” Natasha cut in and noise from the students filled the hall
“Is she that special?…than me?” Rachel asked and Stephanie shrug
“You don’t need to be worried , I believe you’ll be selected ” Stephanie said while Rachel just smiled
Just what she wanted to hear

“Jasmine, you need to be yourself” Sandra said immediately she got hold of Jasmine
“You can’t just run a way after all our sleepless nights” she added hugging Jasmine
“I’m sorry Sandra.. I don’t think I can do this” Jasmine cried disengaging from the hug
“Pls jasmine Don’t let our efforts go to waste and moreover this has been your biggest dream. Do you want some freaking fear to ruin it?” sandra asked rhetorically
“She’s right” Desmond appeared
“You… what are you doing here?” Sandra asked
“I’m here for the same reason you are here” he said with a cute smile
“I’ve told you, you would make it. Just believe me and believe yourself”
“Thanks Desmond” Jasmine smiled
“We can do this jasmine. Pogihajima(don’t give up) ” Sandra assured while jasmine nodded
“So Jasmine, if I were you, I would listen to Sandra and go break a leg out there” Desmond said
“How did he know my name? I don’t remember telling him” Sandra thought staring Desmond strangely
“Don’t think too much, you actually told me your name” Desmond lied smoothly
“You guys will be kicked out even before you start if you don’t get back on time” Desmond said and started walking away
“Pls wait… Jasmine said and Desmond halted his steps
“Sorry for calling you a lunatic at the hospital. I was wrong” Jasmine apologized and Desmond nodded before heading back to the auditorium
“Let’s go break a leg” Jasmine said as they walk into the hall and everyone cheered for them as the climb the stage

knuckles white and holding tight
So here I go taking the curve but I know that I’m never alone

“Wow.. they sing so good” Michael said as he join the crowd in cheering them up
“I know right” Desmond smile and Jenny stared at him, feeling somehow
? Wow, they are so good together
? Whoaooo..

Sandra hugged Jasmine tight immediately they finished singing
“We did it jasmine” Sandra said as tears threatened to leave her eyes
“We actually did it” Jasmine replied, her eyes glistening with tears
“Wow.. that was really great” Miss Natalia said and the other judges stood too, cheering at them
“You did well.. keep it up” Mr Kelvin, one of the judges said giving them a thumbs up
“I knew you guys could do it. You really nailed it” Mrs Natasha smiled at them..
Rachel sat at a corner, silently fuming as she watch the judges compliment Jasmine and Sandra
She h@tëd the fact they were getting more attention than her. She ball her fist in anger and walk out of the hall
“I can’t believe everyone is rooting for them more than they did for me ” Rachel screamed angrily, hitting her fist on the wall
“They haven’t announced the winners yet, so relax.. I think you will be favoured since your the president’s daughter” Stephanie said
“You think so?” Rachel asked, calming down
“I know so… Now let’s get in and watch others performance”
“Alright” She said and they both walk back into the hall

“What’s the name of the school we will be having a competition with?” Nirvana asked Aliya who was beside her, playing games on her phone
“I think it’s Reality Talent school or something like that. One of the best Schools in south Korea they say” Aliya replied with a shrug
” Oh really?”
” Yes, I heard their audition is today” Aliya replied, nonchalantly
” Audition?”
“Yeah, audition for admission” Aliya replied, throwing a chewing gum into her mouth
“Why do you ask?”
” I don’t know, I just feel… strange”
” Strange?” Aliya creased her forehead
“Yes I feel like alot of things would change once I go there for the competition which is in a few days time” Nirvana sighed, leaning back on her seat
“You don’t have to worry, We’ll be going together” Aliya said and Nirvana smiled broadly
