Chapter 7: Meeting a Perfect Match
(Later…)
Carrie was enjoying hanging around with her new Friend, Alison, despite knowing her for only a few hours, but during that time, both girls, were feeling a slight flurry of emotions, as they talked and thought about each other. Carrie & Alison were currently in the living room/Kitchen of Carrie's apartment, eating some lunch, but in that time, Carrie felt she was getting close to her new friend, but was also nervous about what Alison would think of her, once she knew about her past, & why she was here… But Carrie knew she would find out soon enough, so Carrie took in some breath, just as Alison noticed Carrie's nervous looks…
"Carrie? Are you Ok? You look worried…" Alison asked in concern.
"Alison… There's a secret I need to tell you… A dark secret…" Carrie said nervously.
"Yeah, What is it Carrie?" Alison said calmly.
"If you've probably wondered why I'm here, it's… it's quite a tragic story…" Carrie continued…
"What do you mean?" Alison asked worry.
"Did you ever hear about a girl who was killed in a prank on her prom night, in chamberlain, Maine?" Carrie asked nervously.
"Yes I did, she was picked on by everyone, including her own mother, and then on her prom night, she was pranked, with a bucket of blood, before hitting & killing her…her name was Carrie Whi-…" Alison replied, but stopped half way through, noticing something wasn't right... "Did you know Carrie White?"
"I am Carrie White…" Carrie said as she stood up slowly, as Alison suddenly realised Carrie's face looked very familiar…
"Oh my God… but if you're alive, why did they say you were dead? Did Chris Hargensen kill someone else, mistaking them for you?" Alison asked with shock.
"No, I was hit by that bucket, but it only left me catatonically dormant for a week, I then woke up in a coffin on the night before my funeral. But after realising everything that had happened, I couldn't go and tell everyone I was still alive, it would've scared them to death, so I faked out that I was dead, & ran away, somewhere where my past could hopefully never find me…" Carrie replied, about to cry…
"Hey, don't cry sweetie, I understand what you've been through, & It's hard I know, but I'm not going to tell on ya, especially in case my aunt from chamberlain was to turn up…" Alison said calmly again to comfort Carrie, along with hugging her.
"You have an aunt back in Chamberlain?" Carrie asked in concern & worry, thinking it may have been someone she knew…
"Yeah, she told me about what had happened, the day after the prom on the phone, she couldn't stop crying, and she was really heartbroken…" Alison said in sadness…
"If you don't mind me asking Alison, who was your aunt? Did she work at my school?" Carrie asked in concern again, feeling she might know exactly who Alison's aunt was…
"Yes, she was a gym teacher, her name was Rita, Rita Desjardin…" Alison replied, as Carrie's face dropped…
"Oh my god… You're Miss Desjardin's niece…" Carrie replied with shock and surprise.
"Yeah I am, if don't mind me asking as well Carrie, was Aunt Rita nice to you? Cause she did tell me nearly everyone at school was horrible to you…" Alison asked in concern.
"Yes she was Alison, Your aunt was really the only teacher who stuck up for me, & she gave confidence for many things, if it wasn't for her, I would never have had the courage to go to prom…" Carrie replied with a sigh of happiness.
"I knew she was, she used to do the same for me, when I was picked on at high school as well…" Alison sighed with happiness aswell.
"You were bullied as well? Why? What had other people got against you?" Carrie asked with concern and shock.
"Other girls were jealous, because boys and other girls found me prettier, but also because I'm a lesbian… but there's also another reason, which I've kept secret from many, even Aunt Rita…" Alison replied nervously.
"Can I ask what that secret is, if you're ok telling me, I won't judge or tell on you, as you won't tell on me." Carrie replied kindly.
"Sure… Carrie… I have special powers…" Alison replied nervously.
"Oh my god… I… I never thought I'd meet another girl like me that much…" Carrie gasped.
"What do you mean Carrie? Are you saying you have powers too?" Alison asked with surprise, beginning to believe she may have found someone who finally understood what she was talking about.
"Yes, I have Telekinesis & Telepathy." Carrie replied.
"I have that too, but my telepathy, can read minds, in multiple languages." Alison replied also with glee. "You know Carrie, I'd like to learn more about our powers… together."
"I'm… I'm kinda thinking that same thing…" Carrie blushed.
"We must be so in sync." Alison joked, as Carrie giggled with agreement.
"Carrie, May I also ask you this, but you don't have to, if you're nervous…" Alison asked in a blush…
"Sure, what would that be, Alison?" Carrie asked.
"Are you straight or lesbian, or even Bi?" Alison asked calmly.
"Well… I thought I was into boys, but when I look back at myself, I kinda feel attracted to girls more… I never told anyone because I didn't want anyone to know, in case of more bullying, I know I dated a boy at prom, but I think his girlfriend set us up to make for her bullying mistakes…" Carrie replied in a blush also, but kept speaking in her honesty.
"Ah ok, If you wonder why I ask Carrie, It's because… I kinda like you, a lot, I know we've only just met, but I've never met anyone, not even a girl, who is as honest, kind & cute as you… You're honestly growing on me fast Carrie…" Alison explained nervously.
"You're kinda growing fast on me too Alison..." Carrie also replied nervously.
"Carrie… I know this is very early to ask, but… would you be my girlfriend?" Alison asked calmly in a nervous blushing tone.
"I'd love to Alison. But can we take it slowly? Nothing serious yet." Carrie asked with agreement.
"Of course Carrie, whenever you're ready, I'll also be ready… Come here you." Alison replied, as she & Carrie hugged tightly, before sharing a kiss…
