Chapter 98

• Blair
• The beat is building, I feel it. I spot the rope at the back of the stage as I twirl and leap onto it, climbing. As the beat starts to reach its climax, I twist my foot in it and drop. As the music cuts out, I’m upside down with my leg held in the rope and a grin on my face.
• Breathing heavily as adrenaline pumps through me, I untangle myself and flip from the rope. I run my hand through my hair before I take a cocky bow as whistles and claps begin. I climb down from the stage and grab my jacket, slipping back into it. Lexi winks at me and claps, Allegra watches me with appreciation, and the manager is grinning, impressed.
