Chapter 2

Carrie comes home to find Margaret not present. She puts the cross necklace back around her neck. She runs into her bedroom to read teen magazines she rid from Margaret. When she finished, Carrie hears the front door opening, Margaret's homes. She felt resentful of Margaret for making her wear the sailor suit, causing much trauma. Carrie meekly walks down the stairs, and there is Margaret. "Momma, why?" she asked. All she did was hit Carrie with a Bible.

"Making unsuitable clothing only rejects the lord!" Margaret shouts.

"You made this suit, Momma...And you made that statement up."

"Search the books, it's in there somewhere."

"Momma, I was laughed at by all the kids. In the locker room, the girls laughed at me and threw things at me."

"You must have worn it inappropriately!" Margaret hit her again. "No Momma! You should have never made me wear the suit!" Margaret grabbed Carrie's hands and dragged herself and Carrie onto their knees. "O Lord! Help deliver this child for her evil sins! Show her no harm shall come to her if she remains pure!"

"No Momma, no!"

"I can see the sin in your eyes Carrietta! Surely as God can! We'll pray!" Momma drags Carrie into the 'praying closet'. Carrie kicked and screamed about how she didn't sin. Margaret violently tossed Carrie into the closet and locked her in. Carrie pounded on the door, but Margaret showed on compassion. "Dear Lord, please don't curse the child into the hands of Satan!" "MOMMA, LET ME OUT! MOMMA, PLEASE LET ME OUT! PLEASE MOMMA! GOD!" Carrie gives up, lights the candle, and prays to a statuette of Saint Sebastian.

Some time later, Carrie exits the closet. "Go to sleep." Carrie kisses Margaret, and walks to her bedroom. She cries in front of her mirror. Abruptly, it cracks! Margaret hears the noise and runs upstairs. "What was that noise?" Margaret asks. "What noise?" Carrie responds. "Go to sleep" Margaret commands. "I will after saying my prayers" Carrie retorts. Margaret exits.

The day is Monday. The girls involved in humiliating Carrie were lined up in the gym. "I hope you're all happy." Miss Collins scolds. "You did a really shitty thing on Friday, a really shitty thing. You were making fun of her outfit? You all didn't look so hot in there! I had decided your punishment will be three days suspension and being banned from the grad night movie."

All the girls released an expression of angry or disbelief. "What? God!" says Norma Watson. "You all deserve it, too!" answers Miss Collins. "Do you realize how mean you girls were? Do ever stop to think that Carrie White has feelings? But the office has decided you will have one week's detention." The girls release a sigh of relief.

"It is my detention." The girls then became edgy. "Starting today for the whole period, on the athletic field. Skipping will be three days suspension, and being banned from the grad night movie. Understood? Good, change into your gym clothes." The girls go into the locker room, but Chris and Norma stood there. "I'm not gonna!" said Chris. "You're gonna miss the movie. We're seeing 'Atmosphera', it got good reviews" replies Norma. "I'm not gonna!" said Chris. "You're gonna miss the movie" Norma answers.

Some time later, the girls go through their physical punishment. They go through intense exercises. The girls jog in place. "This is all Carrie White's fault. I'm gonna get her" cries Chris. "Let it go Chris" answers Sue. "Like hell I will" retorts Chris. Chris speeds to Miss Collins, who turns around to find her there. "This isn't over yet Hargensen."

"It is for me."

"There are ten minutes left."

"Stick 'em up your-" Miss Collins slaps her, with much reaction from Chris. "You can't hit us! You'll get fired for this, you bitch!" Miss Collins violently grabs Chris. "One more out of you, and your done, you understand?" Chris runs over to the other girls. "She can't get away with this! If we all stick together, Norma?" Norma nodded 'no.' "Helen?" Helen nodded 'no.' "Sue!?" "Shut up Chris, just shut up" Sue replies.

Chris shouts to Miss Collins "This is so not over" and walks away. "Your outta grad night!" Miss Collins shouts in return. "Don't stop, keep jogging!"
