Watching Stephen Kings' Carrie

By: FunahoMisaki

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter.)

No one said anything about Carrie crying as they all turned back to the movie to give the sobbing teen and the gym teacher some privacy, so that Carrie won't feel awkward or ashamed about crying like that later.

"It's okay Sweetie. I've got you. You're fine, she won't hurt you." Desjardin cooed softly to Carrie as she rocked the girl as much as she could.

The scissors stopped less than an inch away from the baby's face as the child now cried while Margaret looked confused. The baby opened her little eyes and stared straight into Margaret's causing the woman to set down the scissors.

"Aww Carrie was so cute as a baby." One of the other female teachers said causing Carrie, who had managed to calm down by now, to blush darkly while Desjardin chuckled quietly.

"Yes she was. Look at her pretty eyes." Another said causing Desjardin to bit her lip to keep from laughing at how red Carrie was turning.

"Yeah and she was so tiny!" A third female commented causing Desjardin to bust out laughing at how red Carrie was.

"What's so funny Rita?" Principal Morton asked as everyone looked at the gym teacher who was clutching her side as she laughed almost hysterically.

"I-I'm sorry. It's just…did you see how red Carrie was turning at their remarks? If she turned any redder she'd be a tomato." Desjardin said teasing Carrie gently as she giggled, causing Carrie to blush harder and pout slightly as Desjardin who just giggled harder and patted her on the top of the head.

Margaret reached down and gently cradled the baby, picking her up and making gentle 'shh'ing sounds as she kissed the baby's face and hugged her while the screen went black briefly.

Now it showed a fifteen to sixteen year old Carrie in a simple swim suit holding a towel in front of her as she saw Chris and her clique coming out of the locker room in the gym.

"That was last week." Desjardin said looking at the screen with an eyebrow raised as everyone blinked, oh yeah that was last week.

There was a brief showing of Sue and Tommy kissing before Ms. Desjardin was heard yelling. There was a blowing of the whistle as Ms. Desjardin was shown for a minute.

"Let's go ladies! In the water, caps on Please!" Desjardin shouted while Carrie was shown tucking her hair into her cap as there was splashing in the background."

"Why do I not want to see this again?" Desjardin asked with a groan as she stared at the screen while Sue and a few others flushed. Knowing what came after this.

"Chris and Sue! Let's go!" She shouted as everyone jumped into the water. There was a brief shot of under the water where everyone but Carrie was shown jumping around playing with the volleyball.

"I want you to keep it in the air at least three times alright?" Desjardin was heard asking over the whoops while Chris and Sue swayed together in the water chatting about graduating."

"Wait until after you graduated to celebrate girls." Principal Morton said causing Chris to 'hmph'.

"Don't be afraid of the ball ladies alright?" Desjardin was heard asking after some girls had jumped back from the ball that Sue had spiked at them.

"Although that was a nice spike, they still could have hit it back." Desjardin said shaking her head slightly while those on the other team flushed slightly in embarrassment

There was a whistle before the ball arched high up into the air and over towards Carrie who was in the back corner and made no move to get it, looked nervous and somewhat afraid.

Here Sue and a few others frowned, they didn't notice how nervous she had looked while Desjardin sighed.

"We'll have to work on your confidence some Carrie, but later okay?" Desjardin asked causing Carrie to look confused but nod in agreement.

"Alright Carrie White. Let's get Carrie into the game. Can't stand on the sidelines all the time, c'mon." Desjardin encouraged as Carrie slowly reached forward and picked the ball up while moving forward as everyone stared at her.

"That just made her even more nervous. No one likes being stared at." Desjardin remarked causing Sue to smile sheepishly, she should have known that already, while Chris and the others ignored the gym teacher.

"Carrie serve." Desjardin said swinging her whistle around on her finger while Chris gave an exaggerated 'Carrie, yeah' and clapping. This just made Carrie even more nervous.

"It'll be alright Carrie just remember some of the things I taught you during your extracurricular activities." Desjardin said smiling at Carrie who gave her a small shy smile back.

"What kind of extracurricular activities?" Morton asked confused, never having heard about this from the gym teacher before.

"Hmm. It's a secret." Desjardin said with a small smirk while Carrie smiled slightly wider.

"Why can't you tell us?" Chris asked with a slight whine to her voice while Carrie smiled even wider, she knew what was next.

"Because a secret makes a woman, woman." Desjardin said with a smirk while Carrie gave a small giggle at the saying she had heard so many times before.

"No need to be worried I don't teach her anything dangerous…well nothing dangerous to her at least. To anyone that tries to attack her though…" Desjardin trailed off with a small shrug of her shoulders while Carrie perked up slightly.

"She mainly teaches me different songs and sometimes how to play different instruments." Carrie inputted causing everyone to look at her, causing her to become shy again.

"What's the matter? Never listened to music before?" Norma asked snidely and causing Desjardin to glare at her.

"No. The only songs I know are the ones Ms. Desjardin taught me and occasionally lets me listen too while we train. Mama doesn't let me listen to music." Carrie said shaking her head and looking at the floor while everyone but Ms. Desjardin looked shocked at this.

"No music? What next no TV?" Lizzy asked staring at Carrie shocked.

"No. No TV either. Mama calls it 'Satan's Box' so we don't even have one at home." Carrie said naively while more kids jaws dropped open in horror.

"The only time I've ever watched TV was after I finished training with Ms. Desjardin and had to wait on mama to come pick me up." Carrie added as an afterthought.

"Training? For what?" Chris asked sneering while Desjardin sneered right back at her and Carrie didn't look up from off of the floor.

"Well it seems like I'm the only one who actually cares about Carrie but I won't always be able to protect her so I've been training her to protect herself from any idiot that wants to try and hurt her." Desjardin said sneering back at Chris and making a few of the students and most of the teachers flinch slightly.

"Hmm. How bout a demonstration, you up for it Carrie?" Desjardin asked looking at the strawberry blond girl curiously after staring down Chris for a minute.

"Um…okay? Who will I be demonstrating with?" Carrie asked more than said while Desjardin looked around for a minute before smirking.

"Billy will do. That way everyone knows it won't be faked." Desjardin said pointing at the boy beside Chris who blinked and sneered at her.

"Okay Ms. Desjardin." Carrie said obediently as she stood up and walked a few feet away before stopping and merely staring at Billy who stood as well and sneered at her.

"Remember what I taught you Carrie and you'll be fine, but if something does happen then I'll be right here to help you." Desjardin said softly causing Carrie to close her eyes and take a deep breath, nodding as she reopened her eyes that now had a steely glint to them.

"Whatcha want me to do?" Billy asked with a grunt as he glared at Carrie and Desjardin who merely smirked. Her next words caused jaws to drop all over the gym.

"Simple Billy. I want you to try and attack Carrie."
