Chapter 3- Flashbacks

Carrie rights belongs to Stephen King

Jason and Carrie were still chatting in the library.

While they were talking, Carrie kept thinking about why Jason was so familiar. She's sure she knows Jason from somewhere but she didn't know why.

They decided to know each other better. Well, Jason decided it, Carrie just agreed.

"Tell Me more about yourself. " He said . Carrie was going to open her mouth to speak, but she interrupted herself.

"Uh, what do I talk about?" She asked, a little uncertain about what she should speak, after all, she was not used to this kind of talk.

"Uh, how about I go first and you do it like me ?"Carrie nodded. Jason then sighed and began to speak.

"My name is Jason Hargensen, I'm 17 years old. The things I like are my mom, coffee, chocolate, rpg, anime, manga, comics, games and cooking. The things I don't like are bullying, criminals and a certain someone. My hobbies are drawing, reading, cooking, cosplay and training. My dreams for the future are to become an illustrator and travel to Japan." He finished his presentation, leaving her amazed.

"My name is Carrieta White but everyone calls me Carrie, I'm 16 years old. The things I like are my mom, chocolate pudding, rabbits, and orange juice. I don't like it when they mock me or when they hurt me and the closet. I don't have many hobbies, but the ones I have are reading and sew. I have no dream for the future." She finished, looking down, that last part made her sad. That didn't pass unnoticed to Jason.

"Very good, Carrie. That was really good Carrie. " He said smiling. That surprised Carrie, she didn't think he'd like it, she smiled back.

"Carrie, what's your family looks like? " Carrie froze when he asked that. Jason noticed that.

"What should i say? Do i talk about the way mama treats me? " She thought nervous. That was a question she didn't know how to answer.

"Carrie, are you ok?"

"Nothing. I live with my mother, I never met my father. He died before I was born. The relationship between me and my mother is... complicated. "She said a little sad. Jason hugged her and she hugged back.

"I'm sorry."

"It's fine. " They let go and kept talking. "And what's your family looks like?" She was curious about how his family should be. He sighed.

"Me and my family... we're also a complicated case. I lived with my mother after my parents divorced. She's very good to me. My relationship with my father has always been complicated. With my twin sister, ... our relationship used to be good, but it changed, she started beating me and ridicule me because of my looks and the things I like. My dad... he cheated on my mom when Chris and I were nine and it made them get divorced, but recently they got back together."

"Oh, i'm sorry."

"Nah, it's okay. I'm sure someday these problems will disappear and things will get better. The problems between you and your mother will also disappear and the relationship of you two will get " He said smiling. She didn't say anything, but she smiled back.

"Nah, it's okay. I'm sure someday these problems will disappear and things will get better."A little boy said smiling, making a small Carrie smile and answer. "Ok". The voice and image of a little boy came into Carrie's mind. It was a memory, one that was long forgotten.

"What?"

"Did you say something ?"

"I had a flashback with a little boy and I when I was little and he said the same thing you said to me. Strange, isn't it? "
He smiled.

"What?"

"Nothing."He looked at the clock and sighed, he seemed disappointed.

"I think we've spent too much time here, we have to go back to class. " He was right, they were talking for a long time. They took their stuff and went to class.

"What does that flashback mean? " Carrie thought.

"Great, she's starting to remember." Jason thought happy.

When school was over, Carrie waited outside the school for her mother. She said she'd pick her up early, but she didn't show up. As she waited, she felt the looks and whispers of several students. Apparently, the news of Carrie being the only one who talked to the new student has already spread throughout the school. Carrie decided to ignore everything, and it worked, until a certain group of girls showed up.

"So, what were you doing with my pathetic brother, Carrie?" Carrie recognized the voice.

"Everything was going so well. " Carrie Sighed and looked back and there they were, the most popular girls of Ewen High, the Ultras. The ultras are led by Chris Hargensen. Her friends Tina Blake; Sue Snell; Heather Shyres; The twin sisters Nicki and Lizzy Watson; Rachel Spies and Myra Crewes are also part of this group. Almost all of them were there, Sue wasn't with them.

They all hate Carrie and do everything to make her life a living hell.

"W-what do you mean?"

"C'mon Carrie, the whole school already knows that you two are very good friends." She said crossing her arms and with an expression of disgust.

"Y-y-you want m-me to g-g-get away from him?"

"That's right Porky Pig, i want you away from him. I may not like him, but even a piece of shit like him should know you're a waste of time. " She sneered. Carrie's eyes widened and she put her hands in her mouth.

"How can you talk like that about your own brother?!" She was shocked. Chris was angry and prepared to punch her.

"Listen, freak, I'll treat him the way I want. It's bad enough that you two reunited again and now you..."

"Wait, what did she said?!" What Chris means with "you two reunited again"?!

Chris's fist was interrupted from hitting Carrie's face. They turned their heads to see who was holding, it was Jason who was holding. He had his cold eyes.

"Chris, stop it now. " His voice was very calm. He loosened her fist and they stared at each other for a while.

"STOP IT NOW!" The same little boy from before shouted, a little Carrie turned her head and saw him. Carrie had another flashback.

"Let's go." Chris said to her friends. A car parked in front of the school, and from it came out the guy who Jason most hates in the whole world. Billy Nolan.

"Hargensen."

"Nolan"

"Come on, Chris. "He said and went towards the car with she following him. On the way to the car, Billy slapped Chris in the butt. Jason clenched his fists and glared at Billy.

"That bastard has the nerve to do that to her in front of me. We hate each other and he does it to make me angry. He already tormented me too much by bullying me, and now he's found a new way to torment me. "Jason thought very angry. Billy e Chris got into the car and went away

"Is everything ok?"

"Yeah." He said smiling at her and kept watching the car go away. Carrie knew that he was lying and that his smile was fake, she knew that he obviously cared about Chris even though she treated him badly and he also didn't like Billy or the fact that he was dating his sister.

"Carrie, get in the car." Carrie recognized the voice and froze. Her mother, Margaret White, had arrived and she did not seem happy.

"Mama." Carrie said with fear in her voice. She went towards her mother's car and got in the car. Margaret did not enter, she glared at Jason and pointed her finger.

"Stay away from my daughter, Devil spawn." She got in the car. Carrie looked at Jason and he was smiling and waving at her.

"Bye Carrie, see you tomorrow."

"Bye Carrie, see you tomorrow. " The same little boy was smiling and waving at Carrie who smiled and noded back at him. "Bye, Jason." Another flashback. This time Carrie found out what the boy's name is, his name is Jason.

"Maybe that's why Jason's so familiar. But why didn't I recognize him? And why didn't he say anything? Does mama know him too?"

Now Carrie is determined to figure out this mystery about Jason.
