Will I get a job offer after my internship?

“Sounds like bit mixed signals here. My concern is that our office also has another intern (she has been working as intern there 1 year longer than me and gonna graduate soon), she is already offered a staff 1 position 2 weeks ago. Therefore, I feel like there may be no any need for hiring me as staff 1 anymore.”source ↗
“have already asked the company about possible conversion like end of last 4th month but they said to complete 6 month first then we will talk...they also said im doing a good job but we may never know right”source ↗
“so i was planning to ask but i dont know what to do...should i wait it out or ask?”source ↗
