Chapter 8: Chloe’s Tale – Part I

The Set Up

Carly lost a bet, and now it was time to pay up. After catching her little sister peeping as she and her friend Zane were having sex, Zane bet her that he would be able to get the younger sister in his bed. Even though her little sister was a freshman now, Carly still thought of her as the same little pest that she had grown up with. She was wrong. Zane barely even had to try. Her sister jumped into bed with him the first chance she got and a few more times since then.

Carly had been so sure that her sweet, innocent little sister would be scared away or even grossed out at the mere thought of sex that she offered up the craziest thing she could think of as stakes: the entire school cheerleader squad. Carly was one of the senior co-captains and told Zane that if he won, she could arrange it so that he would have his pick of any girl on the squad, or all of them if he wished! He didn’t believe her, of course; who could deliver on something like that? Then again, who could pass up an offer like that? So, Zane accepted her stakes, and the bet was on.

Carly’s Plan

What Zane didn’t know was that Carly had actually been working on a plan for this long before they made their bet. The bet just presented the perfect opportunity for her to put it into motion, and he was going to be the lucky beneficiary IF he succeeded.

Her plan was actually very simple. At the end of every year, the seniors would all cast votes to determine who would be the co-captains. There were always two for the following year. This was the team tradition. In addition to the seniors, the cheer coach and the faculty advisor also voted. This year, there were only four seniors, so with the two additional votes of coach and faculty, there was the very real possibility of a tie.

Carly’s devious plan was to introduce the rumor of a tie-breaker vote. A secret voter. Someone not on or connected to the squad who would make the final vote and break a tie if necessary. Once everyone started believing in it, she would start the rumors that Zane was that secret vote. All of the juniors who wanted to be captain would be throwing themselves at him to be sure they secured his favor, and ALL the juniors wanted to be captain. Some of the sophomores, too.

After Carly explained the whole thing to him, Zane began to think this could actually work. When he learned that the rest of the seniors all agreed to go along with it, it sounded even better. Why would all of them go along with such a plan? To help Carly pay off a bet? Probably not. To help Zane get laid? Definitely not.

Their real motivation? Revenge. Payback. Karma.

Why?

The reason Carly had begun dreaming up this whole plan in the first place was Bella. Bella was one of the junior cheerleaders and a top contender for captain. She was the girl that everyone loved until she left the room. Bella was a devious little monster, always manipulating anything or anyone to make herself look good, no matter what it meant for anyone else. In the past three years, at some point, she had claimed her glory at the expense of each of the seniors.

Carly wanted to see Bella used and humiliated just like she had done to so many others, and she knew Zane was just the guy to help her do it. When Carly offered up a plan to get some payback, the other seniors all signed on. Carly’s only condition upon setting Zane up for this cheerleader free-for-all was that he tortured Bella. She wanted him to “Fuck that bitch up and make her beg you to do it” and get pictures. Carly wanted to make her humiliation complete. Zane was happy to oblige.

Hints

Within the next week, all the talk among the cheerleaders was about the end-of-the-year vote. Carly made a big deal about the possibility of a tie. Things were just that close. There were usually more seniors. This could be the first time in years that they need to use the secret vote. Gossip among the underclassmen instantly became, “What the hell is the secret vote”? None of them had ever heard of it before.

The seniors all started to fill in the story in the days that followed. They would talk over lunch and add a few details here and there. It would have to be someone not on the squad. It would have to be someone who knows everyone vying for captain. It would have to be someone they all trust. Does that mean it would have to be a girl? Hmmm, maybe, maybe not. It could be anyone.

Then Carly added her name drop. She recruited her sister, Haley, the one she made a bet over, to mention Zane whenever she could. Haley was not a cheerleader herself, but she knew them all since they were always at her house hanging out with her sister. She would mention that Zane called when any of them were over or tell them that Carly was at Zane’s house if they showed up and she wasn’t there.

Just to be absolutely sure that they all got the clue, Carly had Haley just say outright that she knew Zane was the secret vote, just once, to one person. She didn’t tell Haley that the secret vote was a scam, but she thought it was real as well. One of Haley’s best friends, Chloe, was a freshman cheerleader. Chloe was only on the JV squad, but she knew the rumors as well as anyone else. Carly asked Haley to just tell her it had to be Zane. Soon, only one name was circulating amongst the squad.

Chloe

The first hint that the plan was actually working turned out to be Chloe herself. Although Chloe had no chance of becoming captain, she was a sure thing for the captain of the JV squad. Still, there was a vote for JV captain, too, and no one ever said the secret vote didn’t apply to that as well.

One Saturday afternoon, some of the cheerleaders were hanging out at the school after practice. Zane, of course, happened to be there as well. He now tried to be anywhere the cheerleaders were at any given time just to keep the rumors hot. When Chloe saw him there, she came over, flirting and giggling at everything he said right up to the point where she cuddled right up on his lap and wrapped an arm around his neck.

This was an unexpected development. Who would have thought the freshmen were buying into this? Then again, Chloe was the only one who thought she knew for sure who the secret vote was. Amazed looks passed between Zane, Julie, and Carly. The juniors and sophomores were paying close attention, too.

Chloe was slim, with long sexy legs, long dark hair, big bright brown eyes, an amazing smile with the cutest dimples, great perky tits, and a tight little ass. Put all that in a cheerleader outfit, and all eyes were on Chloe.

She was also a lot of fun. Chloe had an older sister who had been on the squad before her, so she had seen all the hijinks that go on. She knew it was all just for fun, so she was always ready to join in. Did she know this whole thing was a scam? Did she suspect? Was she just playing along? Or was she genuinely flirting and hoping to gain some favor when the voting came? Just what had Haley told her?
