When is it Not Important?

Keisha had been standing next to him and talking to Liam when she felt the temperature of the place drop to an arctic zero. She looked at Dmitri and found him staring at Adrianna and Niiya. She felt so jealous that she wanted to attack her right there and then. She held Dmitri's hand and pulled him away. "She is always with that boy Niiya. Why do you have to look at them? Obviously she is not interested in you," said Keisha.

Dmitri didn't say a word as his attention was on Adrianna. He wanted to know what they had been talking about.

"Dmitri, she does not deserve you. Look at her ignoring you even though you had helped her get home after she was drunk. She doesn't even have the courtesy to say thank you," she continued. "If she was even a wee bit interested in you, she would have given some hint…"

Nate, who was listening to Keisha, wanted to speak, but he stopped because he didn't want to hurt Keisha. Liam, on the other hand, was clueless.

Adrianna turned to look around after talking to Niiya. She had been searching for Ookashi when her eyes met Dmitri's. She noticed that he was standing with Keisha who was holding his hand and pulling him away. The scene made her so envious that she took a hold of Niiya's hand and pulled him to the cafeteria.

Keisha smiled inwardly, satisfied with Adrianna's behavior. She wanted to create misunderstandings between them. She was not happy that Dmitri showed so much interest in Adrianna. After all, who was she? The amount of time she had spent with Dmitri was enough to know every habit and every emotion he had. She loved him deeply and the thought of any woman, other than her, with Dmitri enraged her. In one such rage, she had even killed a girl who had dared to flirt with Dmitri in front of her.

In this case, Adrianna didn't flirt, but it was Dmitri's interest in her that was pushing Keisha to the edge. She had to kill Adrianna before it was too late, and Keisha was waiting for an opportunity to take her down.

Dmitri was hers for life. Even if he didn't marry her, she would stay beside him. Even if they didn't have babies, it was fine with her. All she wanted was his attention and she was sure that with time, she would make him hers.

But first, Adrianna had to be dealt with…

Niiya was gladly being pulled along. He was even proud that he was being pulled!

When they reached the cafeteria, Adrianna gruffly sat down on a table far in the corner and let go of his hand. Why was it that every time she saw him with Keisha, it affected her?

"What would you like to have Adri?" Niiya interrupted her thoughts.

"Anything…" she replied, dejected at the scene she had witnessed.

Niiya left her to fetch snacks. While she was brooding over them again, she heard a familiar shrill voice. "Adrianna, how are you?"

Pryce came and sat down on the chair right next to her. Adrianna looked up at her in surprise and wondered how she always seemed to know where to find them. Adrianna chuckled and said, "I am fine Pryce. How about you?"

"I am good too! Where is Niiya?" she asked, although she had seen Niiya going to the food counter to buy snacks.

"He went to get some snacks. We have an hour free before our next class," replied Adrianna.

"Okay…" Pryce nodded and they fell silent.

Niiya came within the next five minutes. He was surprised and very unhappy to see Pryce. "What are you doing here?" he asked coldly.

"Haha. Niiya, I have an hour free before my next class," lied Pryce, inviting another shocked look from Adrianna.

"I came to discuss something very urgent with you Niiya," she added.

Niiya took a mouthful of lasagna and rolled his eyes. "When is it not important?"

Pryce ignored his sarcasm and said, "We will be holding auditions for the play that we have been writing and in which you haven't… really helped much." Pryce emphasized on the word 'haven't'. "And we are calling people to audition. So I was hoping that if you were interested, would you like to play the lead role with me?" Pryce looked at Niiya with such high expectations that even Adrianna felt that Niiya should agree to it.

Once again, Niiya gave her a cold look and said, "I am sorry Pryce, but why would I commit such a mistake?" Then, he turned to Adrianna and asked, "Would you like to join me in auditioning for the lead role Adri?"
