Chapter 4: Bonding
(20 hours earlier…)
Date: Monday 10th June 2013
Time: 1:10pm
Location: Ewen High School, Chamberlain, Maine
It was gym class at the local High School, as one class of girls were preparing for volleyball practice in the swimming pool, including the 'School Reject' Carrie White…
From the moment Carrie was born, Life for her… was Hell… she was raised by her mother: Margaret White, who was a Mentally Unstable and Religiously Fanatical Zealot, who believed that everything was sinful… and whenever Carrie had or hadn't done something like that, Margaret would beat Carrie, and lock her in the Prayer Closet at their bungalow home… because of the way she had raised Carrie, Carrie had become an easy target of bullying from 6th Grade and beyond into High School, especially from her class group: The Mortimer Snerds, led by Chris Hargensen, consisting of her friends: Tina Blake, Nicki & Lizzy Watson, Heather Shyres, Rachel Spies, Anissa Chen, Jessica Upshaw, & several others… But secretly, One of the Group: Sue Snell, one of Chris's closest friends, had recently started to have second thoughts about their actions towards Carrie, especially as she had never done anything bad to any of them, which was also shared with the School Gym Teacher: Rita Desjardin, who had suspicions of Margaret, from the way she acted in public, though no one was aware of Margaret's true colors, Rita had a strange feeling about her…
Carrie was standing by the pool, in her black swimsuit with white trim as the Snerds all came walking out in their red and blue swimsuits, laughing to each other…
Sue was then approached by her boyfriend: Tommy Ross, as he embraced her into a chuckling hug, before the two began kissing… Tommy was then was then approached by best friend: David Carmody, as he embraced them into a chucking hand clapping, before the three began happy… she's beautiful to him, Carrie is like to David… causing Carrie to raise a small smile…
"Wipe that smile off your face!" Chris rudely snapped at Carrie, causing Carrie to lose her smile, as Miss Desjardin to blow her whistle…
"Let's go ladies, In the water, Caps on Please! Chris & Sue, Let go!" Miss Desjardin called, still blowing her whistle.
Throughout the game, everyone took part… except Carrie, who would spend most of the game standing in the corner, only taking shots that fell her way…
As Carrie was given a chance, she took her shot, but accidently hit Sue in the back of the head…
"You eat shit." Chris mocked as she threw the ball back at Carrie…
(Later at the Changing Rooms…)
Everyone was washed and getting dressed, to finish for the day… Carrie however was still showering, washing her elegant and feminine body with a bar of soap…
As Carrie continued to shower, she and everyone were unaware, as the lightning bright, slithered up the shower drainpipe, gripping hard onto the tiled surface, despite the flows of shower water…
As Carrie looked around, she saw quite a lot of people within the changing room it had sneaked into, it quickly needed to find a new host to hide in… it could have chosen anyone, but would be spotted too easily… but then it noticed the closest person it could find… Carrie, as well as sensing a strange feeling from her, as it quickly slithered towards her unnoticed…
As Carrie dropped her bar of soap, panicking from seeing her soap covered in blood, from her first period… But as Carrie noticed bleeding hands, she gasped loudly…
"Wha-What's happening, what's wrong with-…? Oh it's my period…" Carrie said in worry, as she looked down to see blood streaming down her legs with the shower water…
Suddenly, tampons came flying at Carrie as Chris and her friends threw more and more at them, while chanting 'Plug it up' over and over, as Chris recorded them on her phone, Sue saw them, Sue not to laugh at Carrie.
Sue then tried to take Chris's phone, only for Tina and Nicki to push her to the ground, as they continued to laugh and chant at them…
"This is certainly gonna make a great lesbo scene for the internet." Chris chuckled, while still recording, as Carrie tried to help as Miss Desjardin tried to break the overcrowding bullies off Carrie.
Carrie then looked at Chris's phone, but as she concentrated on it, along with Chris's phone battery until…
*RUMBLING*
Chris and her friends and other classmates all gasped or screamed or looked around, as the Earthquake altered to shake. Sue gasped and looked at the Earthquake. Carrie looked around to see the Earthquake.
"WHAT'S THE GOD'S NAME?!" Chris yelled.
"EARTHQUAKE!" Tina yelled.
"Think something just fell from the sky." Jessica replied.
Chris dropped her phone to Earthquake.
*Chris's phone explodes into sparks, and falls to the ground*
Chris and her friends and other classmates all gasped, as her phone just exploded for no reason, or so they thought…
"What the hell is going on here?!" Miss Desjardin roared with anger at everyone, as she got in between the feud.
"They were throwing tampons and chanting at Carrie, and recording it…" Sue said nervously, as Miss Desjardin, looked angrily at Chris and the other classmates.
"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris growled.
"Get dressed and get out, NOW!" Miss Desjardin growled back, as Chris and the others went and finished getting dressed nervously, while she tended to Carrie.
(Later at Principal Morton's office…)
Miss Desjardin guided Carrie into Principal Morton's office, where he was waiting… The School Principal: Henry Morton, is coming.
"Are you, uh, feeling better?" Principal Morton asked Carrie, who was now dressed being guided to his office by him and Miss Desjardin. "Can I get you some aspirin, or maybe some juice or something?"
"Juice, really Henry?" Miss Desjardin asked like what a weird question to ask… as Carrie sat down.
"Maybe you just want us to leave you alone." Principal Morton replied.
"Carrie, honey, I am so sorry that- that I slapped you." Miss Desjardin apologized.
"I should have handled it better." Carrie replied.
"I'm terribly sorry about Miss Hargensen's incident, girls, can we get you anything?" Principal Morton asked calmly, as Carrie.
"No, thank you, sir." Carrie replied.
"Can you tell us more on why Miss Hargensen and your other classmates would commit something like that? Do take your time, or if you're not comfortable, you don't need to answer." Principal Morton asked calmly in concern.
"Sue said Chris would do anything to hurt Carrie, she's been like that since 6th grade." Miss Desjardin replied.
"I see, I'm afraid I can't do anything about expelling them… but I could suggest 3 days detention, if they refuse, they should have 3 days suspension and Prom Ticket refusal." Principal Morton suggested to Miss Desjardin.
"Agreed." Miss Desjardin agreed.
"I-I'm worried that they may be even worse if that happens…" Carrie said with worry.
"Don't worry Carrie, we'll make sure they don't. Okay. Carrie, you're excused from P.E. class for the rest of the week. Just take study hall, okay? At the library." Miss Desjardin told Carrie calmly.
"Yeah. We're going to have to call your mom." Principal Morton replied.
"What?" Carrie asked in concern.
"We're going to have to call your mother." Principal Morton added in, causing Carrie to look worried.
As Miss Desjardin gently stroked Carrie's arms, causing Carrie to blush slightly, as Principal Morton called their mother…
(Later…)
Carrie was sitting and waiting by the lockers for her mother to pick her up. Carrie was still sitting with Miss Desjardin & Principal Morton, waiting for their mother.
As Margaret helped Carrie to & into the car, Carrie noticed Chris angrily, she and the Snerds her phone was destroyed, with her boyfriend: Billy Nolan, while he saw Chris angrily.
"Chris, what is it? Why are you mad at her?" Billy asked in concern.
"My phone was destroyed." Chris replied.
"What?" Billy asked in concern.
"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris replied.
"Are you sure?" Billy asked in concern.
"Yeah." Chris replied.
"Babe, are you crazy?" Billy asked in concern.
"I'm not crazy!" Chris replied.
"Okay, fine." Billy replied.
Chris is angry with Billy and the Snerds, except for Sue…
As Margaret and Carrie drove off, Miss Desjardin watched them, while still having her suspicions about Margaret… ever since the state had stopped Margaret from homeschooling Carrie, she had not got on well with anyone in the school… not even the whole town for that matter, as Miss Desjardin walked back into the school…
