Behind Enemy Lines

Chapter 1

Chloe runs her hands over the jade uniform, the skin on her palms smoothing out over the curve of her hips. Her eyes trail the length of the mirror in front of her, the reflection

shimmering from the light seeping through the window in the room. Pop music plays through her speaker by her bed, her lips slowly moving along to the lyrics as she pats down her clothing. She brings up her hands to her hair, repositioning the curled locks of red over her shoulders. She looks at the small scar on her forehead, a small smile forming on her lips. She reaches up slowly, tracing a finger over the shape of it.

"Today's it." She takes a deep breath, moving her arms and placing her hands on her hips. "Last first day of school."

"Until next year when we go to BU. Then we'll be fresh meat all over again."

Chloe spins around, her smile growing as she sees Aubrey sitting on her bed, the blonde's outfit reflecting her own.

"This year is going to be the best yet, I have a good feeling about it." Chloe grins, clapping her hands together once. She then steps away from the mirror, sitting down next to the other girl.

"Of course it will be, now that we're the head tits of the squad - nothing can stop us." Aubrey smirks making Chloe roll her eyes.

"A lot of things can stop us Aubs. You know, like that security guard at the Katy Perry concert, or a truck."

"Morbid much?" Aubrey playfully pushes Chloe.

"Maybe." Chloe smiles sweetly with a shrug, "But seriously, it's our last year. We have to make it worth remembering."

"And we will. I'm confident that at tryouts, we'll get a team full of bikini ready bodies. We'll take the squad to state easily, then the only thing that's really stopping us, is nationals."

"You think we can really get to nationals this year?"

"Duh. Come on Chloe, of course we can with you in charge now. You know you're amazing. Colleges think you're amazing." Aubrey gives a reassuring smile, "And you have me, so there's no way we won't win."

"Oh whatever." Chloe chuckles, egging on Aubrey's smirk.

"Come on. Let's go to school, we don't want to be late for senior year." Aubrey stands up, grabbing her bag and pulling it over her shoulder.

Chloe nods, looking around her room slowly before rising from her bed. She grabs her own bag, before the two walk downstairs. Chloe gives her mother a kiss on the cheek before leaving the house with Aubrey, hopping into the other girl's car. The drive to the school is quick, filled with singing along to the radio and Aubrey's roadrage. Chloe's house is only a few miles from the high school, which is a great advantage on the days she's running late.

Aubrey pulls into a parking space, students already roaming the communal grounds in front of the school. Aubrey looks over at Chloe with a grin, "Let's do this."

Chloe nods with a small smile, both girls then getting out of Aubrey's car. Chloe grasps onto the strap of her bag, looking out to the people already catching up with one another. Chloe knows she shouldn't really be feeling so nervous, like come on, she's had three first days of high school before. This should be a piece of cake, she was an upperclassman now.
