CHAPTER 2: Strange Dreams

As the rest of the school day went by, Miss Desjardin couldn't get the thought of what happened in the locker room out of her head. It was like a horror movie kept replaying in her mind and her head started to throb. She took some aspirin to help make the headache stop, but as she drove home to her house on Carlin Street the only thing Miss Desjardin couldn't stop thinking about was Carrie. She knew that Chris Hargensen and her friends were the ones who started the whole incident, and she had to figure out how she was going to handle the situation. Miss Desjardin felt overwhelmed as she pulled over to her driveway she went inside her house and set her items on the kitchen table. After that she sat down on the living room couch and tried to watch some TV to help clear her mind of today's events, but after the first half hour of relaxing, she fell asleep. At first her mind feels blank, but then Miss Desjardin begins to dream, she wakes up on the grass of someone's backyard. She does not know where she, but yet it seems familiar to her for some reason. The gym teacher suddenly sees a little girl with strawberry blonde hair. She looks like she's 3 years old and she's sitting down under a tree playing with what looks like a homemade stuff lamb. Miss Desjardin approached the little girl and bent down to where she was sitting and started talking to her.

"Hi, my names Rita Desjardin" said Miss Desjardin

"Hi, my names Carrie" said Carrie

"That's a pretty name, I like your stuff lamb" said Miss Desjardin

"Thanks, my momma made her for me" said Carrie

"You know, you remind me of someone I know" said Miss Desjardin

Just before the conversation continued, Miss Desjardin iphone started ringing in her right pocket, thus waking her up from her strange dream. The person calling her was Mr. Morton, bringing some information that he had to inform the gym teacher about.

"Wait Mr. Morton, what's wrong" Miss Desjardin asked feeling very confused.

"Somebody posted a video on YouTube of the incident in the girls locker room and its showing Carrie having her period" Mr. Morton explained on the phone. As soon as Miss Desjardin heard this news she felt heartbroken because somebody had the nerve to post that horrible incident on the internet.

"Oh my god" Miss Desjardin replied in an angry voice. After she finished talking to the principal she looked up the video and was disgusted after watching it.

"Who ever did this is definitely getting punished and they're not going to get away with this" Miss Desjardin thought to herself.

Meanwhile at the White residence, Carrie spent the last few hours in the prayer closet. Her mother was working on a dress for a woman's daughter who's going to the senior prom. As time went by, Carrie kept re-thinking about what happened today at school while reciting a few prayers.

(Carrie POV)

"I was so scared when I saw the blood on my hands, I didn't know what to do and I thought I was dying. I screamed for help and then I ran to my tormentors for help, but they just stood there and laughed at me and then they all started throwing tampons at me. I keep begging them to stop but all the girls just keep laughing and throwing things at me. All I could do now was cry while I lied on the floor naked and wet and covered in blood, hoping that someone will come and help me. Eventually Miss Desjardin came to help me, though I got a little scared when she slapped me, I don't blame her, I didn't know what was happening to me and I was screaming and begging for help. But then Miss Desjardin hugged me and apologized and told me I was having my period, at first I was so confused on what she meant by that, but after she and I talked for awhile it all made sense. Miss Desjardin helped me get dressed and took me to the principal's office for an early dismissal. Miss Desjardins very nice, she always looks out for me when I'm upset or when I need someone to talk to, its like having a big sister to protect me. My momma picked me up from school an hour later, I was still a feeling a little shaky after what happened in the locker room and I also got frightened by the water container that somehow broke by itself in Mr. Morton's office. As my momma drives me home school, one thing kept filling my mind".

"Why didn't you tell me momma"?

"When we got home we got into an argument, momma says I sinned and that God has punished me with the curse of blood. I try to explain that its not a sin but she just keeps saying that I had lustful thoughts when I showered with the other girls and that I should pray forgiveness. After that she locked me in the prayer closet, I hate it when she does that, it makes me feel scared and alone when I'm in there. Like a puppy dog being locked in a cage in an animal shelter until someone adopts that puppy. I was still shocked from that crack that appeared on the door of the closet as I was locked in. That's the second time that strange object seem to be breaking by themselves."

When the clock struck 9pm, Margaret eventually let Carrie out of the closet.

"Did you finish saying your prayers little girl" Margaret asked

"Yes momma" Carrie replied

"That's my girl, I love you" Margaret says as she kisses Carrie on the right cheek.

"I love you to momma" Carrie said softly

After that Carrie hugged her mom and then went upstairs to her and got changed into her pajamas and then went to bed fast asleep.

So it looks like now Miss Desjardin started having strange dreams, little does she knows there's much more to come later. Carrie is very curious about why so many objects are somehow breaking by themselves when she's near them. All your questions will be answered in the next chapter. Until next time, leave your reviews and have a great day.
