Due to a life of being bullied and ostracized by almost everyone that she's come into contact with during her short life, Carrie White has developed a 'cold' exterior that she has no problem showing to the world. She flat out doesn't like people and this is my take on how the 2013 remake would've played out.
Gym class is Carrie's least favorite time of day, but she copes by just staying to herself and trying to stay positive through this irritating process. The jocks brush by her and the girls say mean things about her behind her back. She can see them pointing at her and laughing…they have no idea what she's capable of and that she's doing them a favor by sparing their lives. Mrs. Desjardin blows her whistle almost directly in Carrie's ear and yells
"Pool time!"
Carrie's ears are ringing and she swears she'll go deaf as a result. She takes a deep breath and says,
"Mrs. Desjardin, can you please be more considerate the next time and blow the whistle away from everyone? Of course that's asking for too much, right?" Mrs. Desjardin gives Carrie an irritated glare.
"In the pool White, now!"
Chris Hargenson and Sue Snell are close to the net while Carrie decided to stay as far away from the action as she could get. Chris and Sue are both beautiful and popular, everything that Carrie despises in people but she's chosen to coexist…for now. The other team hits the ball and it lands near Carrie.
"Damn".
Carrie says to herself, hoping that one of these jackasses will get the ball and toss it in play.
"Come on, lets get Carrie into the game, you can't stand on the sidelines all of the time", Mrs. Desjardin barks.
Now Mrs. Desjardin was officially numero uno on Carrie's shit list. Carrie picks up the ball amidst the moral support by Chris to 'do it', 'serve it', which Carrie didn't need or want any moral support by the way, and purposely decides to 'serve it' right into the back of Sue Snell's blonde head. The girls thought it was funny and Sue takes it well for the most part, but the hilarity ends when Chris tells Carrie "You eat shit", and tosses the ball back at her.
Carrie's beginning to think that the loud whistle blow has in fact affected her hearing because Chris wouldn't dare say anything so disrespectful like that to her. Chris was known to be a jokester to her friends, but Carrie isn't one of her friends.
"What do I eat bitch?" Carrie emphatically says to Chris, who is surprised by the tone of Carrie's voice.
"Chill out White, I was just fucking with you."
Carrie gets directly in Chris's face.
"Say it again…I dare you."
Mrs. Desjardin blows her whistle.
"Ladies, separate, now!"
Sue leads Chris out of the pool, while Carrie cracks a sinister smile at her.
Once in the shower, Carrie feels it's time to decompress for a little bit. The warm water and soap running down her skin relaxes her, soothes her. Suddenly she sees…blood? It's all over her hands and she drops the soap in utter terror. She begins to panic, reaching out for help and she gets it, though not the kind that she wanted. Even though they had a minor exchange of words just minutes earlier, Chris recognizes Carrie is having her period and offers words of advice. "Plug it up", Chris tells her. Carrie refuses to listen, thinking that she's dying and continues to flip out. Seeing that Carrie is in distress and lacking tampons, the girls begin tossing them individually at her, making sure that she has plenty for the next time around but Carrie still can't control herself. Mrs. Desjardin finally arrives from wherever she was at and instead of counseling Carrie like a good teacher would, she physically assaults her with a hard smack across the face. The teen calms down but simultaneously wants to ground her gym teacher and classmates into bacon bits but, there's another time for that.
The ride home from school is quiet between Carrie and her mother Margaret, who many consider a crazy religious zealot, emphasis on crazy. "Mom, why didn't you tell me? They all laughed at me and threw things at me, you know until today the only period I ever heard of was the one you put at the end of a sentence." Margaret parks the car in front of their small light blue house. "We'll talk about it inside Carrie." Margaret begins to walk in the house. "Nah, I don't want to go inside with you." Margaret gives her a sad look and goes inside. Carrie shrugs her shoulders and reaches into her pocket, pulling out a doobie. She lights it and takes a hit…ah, euphoria. Out of nowhere some punk kid attempts to ruin her high by hitting the car window and saying "Crazy Carrie, Crazy Carrie!" Showtime, with a small twitch of her head the little punk flies off of his bike and lands on the grass. He limps towards his bike. "Next time I'll break your leg you little punk!" Carrie yells, the boy riding away as he almost pisses himself.
Once Carrie finishes smoking she goes into the house, on her own terms. She hears a thud coming from upstairs and goes to investigate. Margaret is bumping her head hard against the wall, attempting to get Carrie's sympathy. Carrie smiles widely and sits down on the floor. "You should've told me you were putting on a show mom; I would've made some popcorn." Margaret stops and stares at Carrie. She begins to rattle off some nonsense that Carrie doesn't understand or is not even in the bible. "You showered with those other girls, you had lust filled thoughts." Carrie nods. "Hell yeah I did, don't fight the flesh mom." Mom hits her in the face with the bible for sassing her and they continue the argument downstairs. Margaret opens the closet door. "Go in to your closet." Carrie's eyes widen in surprise. She's going to make her go in to a closet? "Hold the phone Margaret, I have the powers and you have…" Margaret doesn't answer. "Exactly so that means I'm in charge here and I'm not going in or coming out of any closet but you are." Carrie simply points at Margaret, who goes flying into the closet. Carrie swipes her hand to the left, closing the door and locking it. She stretches her arms in the air.
"Freedom!" Margaret is banging on the closet door. "Oh stop it, you'll be fine, I've been in there before. Guess what mother, I'm going out on the town, by myself and I'll be back whenever. Until then, I'm blasting the rap channel because we all need variety in our lives, happy listening." Carrie clicks on the TV to the rap channel and makes the volume go to ear splitting levels before leaving the house.
Driving down the street, Carrie takes in the sights of the city. It's not filled huge towers or historic landmarks but the simplicity is enough for her. Besides, Carrie didn't need those types of things to have fun, what she had in mind will definitely suffice. She parks the car down the street from none other than Chris Hargenson's house and waits. The lights are on so someone is probably is home, which makes this all the better. Carrie grins as a car is coming down the street. She clinches her fist and the car comes to an abrupt halt. She motions her fist towards the direction of Chris's house and the car begins to slowly move in that direction. She opens her fist, sending the car crashing into the house, destroying a huge part of the front exterior.
"Yes!" Carrie drives away from the house in a euphoric mood.
The next day an exhausted Chris has to endure Mrs. Desjardin chewing them out over their 'mistreatment' of Carrie, she even cursed at them. She threatened them with the notion that if they didn't complete suicides that they would be banned from prom. Chris tries to explain that her family had to move to a hotel due to the accident last night and how she dragged herself to school on two hours sleep but Mrs. Desjardin doesn't care. She makes them do the suicide drills. What happens next is one of the reasons that the teachers didn't care for Chris too much and she was deemed a 'problem kid' because she asked why, this case was no different. Since Chris was clearly the most intelligent student in the school and had the highest GPA at a whopping 2.5, she decides to challenge Mrs. Desjardin's word and informs the rest of the sheep…I mean kids, that she couldn't just ban them from prom; she was the freaking gym teacher!
"Tina, you have a heart condition!" Chris did her best to plead with the other students why they shouldn't be doing this and ban together, but they were so afraid of Mrs. Desjardin's tyranny that they folded and did as they were told. True, Chris did use foul language towards the teacher, but what kind of mood would you be in if someone crashed into your house?
