Kelly spun toward the noise , feeling like her blood was boiling . E55 vouchers Yvonne leaned in , whispering , " Looks like Abigail's outshining you . Since when did country schools get this good ? " ' Seriously ? Can't you just shut up ? ' Kelly screamed inside . ' And why won't that stupid string break already ? Abigail's stealing everyone's attention .' But Abigail finished her act flawlessly . That thread didn't tear , not even a little - exactly the opposite of what Kelly had been crossing her fingers for . People judged with their eyes first . Despite Abigail's sketchy reputation , her performance was so impressive that it won over the crowd . The girls Kelly usually bullied and criticized felt like Abigail had just scored a victory on their behalf . As Abigail stepped offstage , a guy yelled out , " Kelly , you gotta perform too . Then we can see the difference . " This guy was totally stirring up drama . But Kelly wasn't backing down - not when it came to aerobics . Her performance had been recognized by the provincial Department of Education and Sports . The aerobics program that Abigail and Kelly competed in had three difficulty levels : hard , medium , and easy . Back when it started rolling out nationwide , barely any schools could even nail the easiest one . So it fizzled out fast . To this day , people online still called the creator a weirdo - they totally ignored what real people could actually do . But as it turned out , a few people mastered it . Eventually , it became a competitive sport . And Kelly was the only person in Hinchester who'd ever won an award for it . " Abigail's already got the easy - level aerobics down . Beating her at the same thing feels cheap , so I'm gonna do intermediate instead , " Kelly smiled . She emphasized the word " easy - level , " making it clear that mastering the lowest level was nothing special . She was determined to prove she could nail the medium level . " Medium level ? I've only seen that in competitions , " someone blurted out . " I'm so stoked to watch Kelly perform today ." Everyone's eyes lit up , excitement and anticipation all over their faces . " Go , Kelly ! Beat Abigail ," a voice cut in . 11:20 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 12 Abigail turned - and there was Ethan . : The second their eyes met , Ethan shut up mid - cheer for Kelly . He quickly looked playing it cool as if nothing had happened . 36 55 vouchers away , ' How'd she spot me in this crowd ? She got a radar for me or something ? Oh , right - it's my good looks . I stand out like a sore thumb , ' Ethan thought , perking up out of nowhere . Kelly flashed a confident smile , strutted onto the stage like she owned the place , and gave Yvonne a nod . Yvonne hit play on the music of the medium - level aerobics . Kelly started to move , and the entire atmosphere instantly changed . Everyone's jaw dropped watching her killer moves - everyone except Abigail . She leaned over to Lia and whispered , " She's actually won awards for this ? " Abigail could tell Kelly's routine was all style and no substance . Her moves looked flashy , but her technique was a mess . Her muscles were strained , her posture was terrible , and her stretches were completely wrong . Performing like this was not just pointless - she was risking serious injury . This aerobics set was supposed to boost health - kinda like those old - school practices . But the creator had spruced it up with modern flair to get teens into it . Schools thought it was way too hard and bailed . But the Department of Education and Sporys didn't want to waste their investment . So , they cooked up an aerobics contest to push students to practice - figured that way , they could report back to the top brass and save face . ' So , this is how the contest works ? Even Kelly could win a mid - level competition ? ' Abigail thought to herself with a silent sneer . Lia whispered , " Kelly only did the easy level before . For some reason , every time she tried mid - tier , the judges shut her down ." " I see ." Abigail nodded - that made sense , Since Lia and Abigail were right at the edge of the stage , Kelly heard every word - and she saw the that - made - sense look on Abigail's face . Just because I haven't joined the mid - level competition yet doesn't mean I can't nail a mid- level routine ! ' Kelly fumed silently . She then went for a high - difficulty move - a leap , and then a 720 - degree spin - the hardest , prettiest one in the mid - level routine , 11:20 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 12 36 55 vouchers Right then , there was a loud rip . Threads snapped , fabric flew, and even when Kelly landed , her clothes were still floating in the air . The guys hooted when they caught a glimpse of her private parts ; the girls screamed , some snickering like they loved seeing her fall . The torn top smacked Kelly in the face , leaving Kelly completely stunned . " Whoa , she's wearing pink underwear , " someone called out . " No wonder her chest looked so full - she stuffed her bra with padding ," another whispered . Kelly froze on the stage , scared to move an inch - any shift would reveal more . She yelled at Yvonne , " Get me clothes , now ! " But since all the girls were wearing workout clothes , no one had a jacket to lend Kelly to cover up . Yvonne was scrambling to find something when Ethan pushed through the crowd . He pulled off his T - shirt , and there it was - his toned chest on full display . The girls went quiet instantly . The Monroe family got good genes . Though Ethan wasn't the smartest guy , his looks and physique were definitely top - tier at school . Kelly stared at him as he walked over , shame melting into pride . ' This is the perfect moment to test my admirers ' loyalty . And Ethan's looking pretty impressive , she thought . But then , she froze - Ethan draped his sweaty T - shirt right over Abigail's shoulders . " Who knew workout clothes could rip like that ? Cover up , " Ethan said . He figured if he didn't step in , Abigail would probably tear him apart later . He thought back to how she'd dealt with Charlotte earlier that day , and how she'd shoved Shawn down the stairs . Instantly , a chill ran down his spine . " Ew ! " Abigail shoved him away . Her face - usually calm - twisted into a look of disgust . Ethan quietly took his shirt back and muttered , " I've tried to protect you , haven't I ? So don't go running to Mom and tell on me . " Kelly's humiliation blew up into anger . " Yvonne , are you listening ? I told you to get me clothes ! " she snapped . Yvonne got mad at the scolding and blurted out , " You're the one who tried to cut the thread on Abigail's outfit and ended up cutting your own . It's not my fault . Quit yelling at me ." 11:20 Wed , Sep 17 Chapter 12 : 36 E55 vouchers Her words were a little mumbled , but everyone saw it plain as day : Kelly's clothes had torn , and those cut threads were the reason . " So Kelly was trying to mess with Abigail but messed up herself ? " someone said . Every eye on Kelly got weirder . Unable to take the shame another second , she bolted for the changing room . But no matter how fast she ran , that embarrassing moment was already burned into everyone's memory . " No way ... Would Kelly really do something like that ? " Tony murmured , his voice full of shock . Over by the basketball court fence , Chase held an ice pack to his face , his gaze locked on Abigail , who hadn't shown a single emotion the whole time . He narrowed his eyes , like he was trying to figure something out .
