-10-

Out on campus, Carrie walked along with Kevin to his black and green muscle car until they discovered Ben and Gwen who already met them at the car. Gwen had an annoyed look across her face, she was hoping that Kevin did not charm or even try to charm Carrie by telling endless embarrassing tales from Ben. However she was relieved that he didn't, even if he did, it was pretty difficult to predict how Carrie would respond.

Gwen soon dropped the act and greeted her politely, "Hi there, Carrie."

Ben simply smiled at her; he was glad that he was able to get her out of that eternal funk of whatever she was in. In fact, what made her to be this way around people, let alone to be a bit antisocial?

"So are we still up for smoothies or..." Kevin paused.

"Maybe we should let you know who decide," Gwen said facing Carrie.

Carrie was a bit indecisive, that and because she didn't get around much, thanks to her mother, so instead...

"I would like to go with Kevin's original idea," she said not bending on her word.

"Well it's been set," Gwen agreed with her.

"Well just as long Carrie doesn't throw up first when she sees Ben's flavor mixings," Kevin said with a laugh.

Ben shot a glare at Kevin as he got into the driver's seat chuckling.

"Oh hah-hah," Ben said sarcastically, making Carrie to smile and then let out a small chuckle at Ben's reaction. Albeit, she had never seen Ben's flavor mixings, though it would be interesting to see!

"Come on, Carrie," Gwen said getting in the car.

Ben opened the door for her; Carrie looked at Ben and let out a small smile. Ben returned it genuinely. Carrie entered the car, sliding over for Ben to get in. After that, Kevin drove off from the lot and into the busy road; however standing over at the lot was the worried Ms. Desjardin staring at the muscle car in fear.

"Be safe," she mused.

…

By the road intersection, several miles away from the school zone, Kevin and Gwen were talking things over about Prom and what to do there. Ben however sat quietly looking at Carrie to who was staring out in the window. The young man cleared his throat and prepared himself to speak.

"Nice view, huh?" Ben asked, trying to start a conversation.

"I guess," Carrie responded, "I'm sorry, it's just that…"

"First time?"

"You can say that," she finished, "But I have something to ask?"

"Go ahead," Ben said.

"Why choose me?" Carrie asked.

This was the most crucial question anyone ever asked Ben. Why did he ask her out of all people to go to Prom? Albeit, he was still new in town, and both he and his friends were pretty ignorant when it comes to the neighborhood and its reputation, but that doesn't mean that it could be at least one person to drag Ben and his friends into thinking that she was a freak! At least one! But it didn't. Battling several aliens from various species with a level-20 high tech watch could change a lot in a person in less than five years. So why did Ben choose her over a massive crowd of people?

"I kinda thought you were kinda cool," Ben stuttered, blushing almost, "I…well…um…"

Carrie didn't understand what Ben was saying, but all she knew was that Ben was blushing. Was this a sign that Ben liked her?

Just before things went further…

"Ben and Carrie sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G; first comes love, then comes marriage…"

Gwen thankfully nudged Kevin; Ben now blushed in embarrassment. Carrie giggled.

"Kevin?" Gwen growled.

"What? It's fun! Isn't that right, Benjy?" Kevin taunted.

"B-Benjy?" Carrie turned to Ben who scratched his head. He chuckled nervously at Carrie, seeming that she doesn't nearly 4/5 of the stuff Kevin does.

"Kevin," Ben growled.

Carrie shared a small laugh as she watched Ben and Kevin getting into each other's throats, mostly Ben who was embarrassed right in front of her.

…

At the newly opened Mr. Smoothie restaurant, Ben, Gwen, Kevin, and Carrie sat on the bench together drinking smoothies. Ben and Kevin were not done dishing out what happened in the car; Kevin had fun messing with Ben. Their arguments were slowly getting old, but they were still fun to watch. Gwen acted as the ref for the argument, but eventually finds the entire argument pointless; however it was steadily beginning to die a little, thank goodness. During all this mild chaos, Gwen turned her attention to the shy, and slightly out-of-place, Carrie who was currently sipping on her strawberry smoothie with melancholy.

"Is something bothering you still, Carrie?" Gwen asked with a worried expression.

Carrie did not respond at first, she was still afraid of what would happen if her mother caught her in the loop, not coming home immediately after school to pray – even if she's home on time, her mother would always give her hell.

The three sound like they were good people, but she was not sure if she could trust them. Gwen sounded pretty genuine, Kevin was pretty tough, and Ben was also a cool guy. Neither of them rejected her because…just because. In fact she heard that Gwen was fairly pissed at Sue for partaking on throwing tampons at her, lo she shared some hatred for Chris, so that was something.

Ben shared the same amount of dislike towards Chris, seeming that he caught her by the act on making fun of her in the hallways, and thus writing in the walls, partaking on the destruction on school property by writing the words, "Carrie White is a slut". In fact when Chris insulted his cousin right in front of her, he looked like that he was about to punch her straight in the face, but instead grabbed his watch, something in which confused Carrie by storm.

And last, Kevin, he heard stories about Chris partaking in the "joke". But like Gwen, he really hated Chris because he saw a video on the web showing Carrie crying in the shower while tampons were being thrown.

Carrie had no words to say to Gwen about what was going on in her mind, but instead enlightened her with her current situation in school by just a twitch.

"People think that I'm weird," she began looking down, "Do you think I'm weird?"

"Yes," Kevin said from out of the blue, shunning Carrie in shame.

"Kevin!" Gwen confronted.

"I'm weird, Gwen's weird, and heck Ben's the weirdest of them all!" Kevin said, enlightening Carrie again. Ben wiped her tears from Carrie's face with his jacket.

"Did Chris say something to you?" Gwen said firmly, shaking her fist. Carrie could measure Gwen's hatred towards Christ. Ben and Kevin had to calm her down – but by accident, a pink mana spark spewed from Gwen's fist to her smoothie cup which was a good centimeters away from the edge of the table and elbows and thus spilt the smoothie on Kevin in a perfectly curved path.

Carrie was gaped, aghast even! Did she just see Gwen "telekinetically" spill her smoothie on Kevin? – Or was it her imagination?
