Backstage was chaos.
Not loud chaos, heavy chaos. The kind that sucked the air out of the room and made people whisper instead of breathe. The kind that followed something dangerous.
Team 12 walked offstage in silence. No one spoke. No one smiled. Adrenaline still burned under their skin, but their expressions were carved in stone, sharp, unbothered, lethal.
All in All, it was deadly.
They passed the hallway of watching competitors, and for the first time since the competition began…
Everyone moved out of their way.
Some girls stepped back. Some stared. Some whispered like they had just seen a ghost.
"What the hell was that performance?"
"Did they just declare war live on stage?"
"I thought Team 12 was supposed to be weak…?"
"No. They were hiding."
Phones were already out. Hashtags already trending.
