Yo's POV

After my emotional breakdown at the waiting room, the others left me to change and have myself prepared for my performance. P'Pha came to check on me after some time and just before I went on stage. I have finally calmed myself down and when I went up the stage to deliver my performance, I didn't bother to feel pressured about him anymore.

I performed quite great, if I may say so myself. I didn't made any mistakes and the crowd was cheering loudly for me when I was done. When I turned to bow, I saw the three P's and Kit, applauding for me. The fairy angel gang was there too, creating much of the ruckus. I smiled to all of them before I finally left the stage.

When I got to the backstage, Nate and Suthee were already waiting for me. They each gave me a thumbs up and a gentle pat to the shoulder. I both smiled at them and we all just waited for the next instructions.

When we were all finally called back to the stage for the presentation of awards, everyone could feel the nervousness and the excitement. Nate and I stood side by side while Suthee was two people away from us. Popularity votes were given first and Nate and I both received them. We happily stepped forward in our places to receive our sashes and prize.

Afterwards, the final top three was named. The engineering moon, Tew, was the third placer. I got the second place, and Suthee won the title. Nate and I proudly applauded for him. The med star, Ran, got the third place, engineering Dee got second place, and Nate won the title for the stars. When Nate and Suthee took the picture together with their prizes, they couldn't hide the blush they both have. I'm so happy for my friends and we are all happy to win a thing or two from the competition.

The backstage were full of hugs and congratulations from everyone. Nobody had bitter feelings towards us and we were all proud of what we have achieved. The three P's, Kit, and the fairy angel gang soon came to congratulate us as well. They too gave us lots of hugs and congratulatory kisses (though I only accepted P'Beam's and Kit's). Nate gave me a peck on the cheeks too, and I teased Suthee for it. Nate blushed when the gang demanded that she kiss Suthee too. She reluctantly and shyly gave one to Suthee and they were both blushing fifty shades of red in front of all of us.

Everyone laughed and soon enough there were only five of us left in the room. Kit was hugging me by the waist as he talked about my performance as well as Nate and Suthee's as we sat on the couch. P'Beam and P'Ming were busy on something and they were by the table, shuffling some papers while P'Pha was on his phone, liking and posting pictures of us.

I kept my eyes on the door silently wishing for something.

Please don't come.

Please don't come.

Please don't come.

And the door stayed closed for thirty minutes. P'Ming and P'Beam soon left, telling us that they would be back. Kit and P'Pha went for a bathroom break, arguing along the way. I was left alone. I stood up and went to the door, peeking on the hallway. I could see some people still walking around but I don't spot any familiar face. I released a sigh of relief.
