Chapter 6: Gifted
(Just under 18 years later…)
Date: Monday 17th June 2013
Time: 2:15pm
Location: Ewen High School, Chamberlain, Maine
It was Gym class for the girl students of Ewen High School, as there were 2 teams competing against each other in a game of pool Volleyball. All the girls in both teams were all competing very likely, all except one, one girl who was back in the corner, looking shy and scared… That girl was Carrie White, now a young and vulnerable teen, nearly an adult, her eyeglasses & hair's bold were changed wearing a wig with brown, her secret identity, created by Margaret, she was normal.
Despite her nice upbringing by Margaret & Ralph, as well as their parents & siblings, School life was extremely hard for the young krypton girl, despite no one knowing of her true origin, not even Carrie herself… But because of her unusual behaviour, from trying to hide her unnatural abilities as she grew up, making friends was practically impossible for her, especially with all things that had been done to her, by one group of them known as the: Mortimer Snerds, led by Christine Hargensen, consisting of her friends: Tina Blake, Nicki & Lizzy Waston, Heather Shyers, Rachel Spies, Anissa Chen, Jessica Upshaw, & several others, they had seen Carrie as an outcast, compared to everyone else in the entire school, and thought it would be fun to bully the unusual girl since 6th grade.
However, the only student in the school, who was also one of the Snerds: Susan Snell, had never really gotten involved with many of the times Chris and the others bullied Carrie, in fact, she sometimes tried to defuse the situations, trying to tell Chris and everyone it wasn't worth it, but as always, they never listened, and carried on. Sue had hanging with them a lot, and had spent more time with her boyfriend: Thomas Ross, as well as his girlfriend, who didn't really pick on Carrie much either. Carrie saw him for Tommy's best friend: David Carmody, she's beautiful to him, Carrie is like to David.
As the girls in both teams continued to play on and Carrie staying put in the corner, the volleyball came flying before falling onto the water, right in front of Carrie.
"Ok Ladies, Let's get Carrie into the game, can't stand on the side-lines all the time, come on." The School Gym Teacher: Rita Desjardin called, as Carrie slowly and nervously picked up the ball. "Come on Carrie, serve."
All the girls started cheering Carrie sarcastically, as Carrie then threw the ball, which then accidently hit Sue in the back of the head, causing everyone except Carrie to gasp humorously & laugh.
"Sorry…" Carrie mouthed nervously in a whisper to Sue.
Sue just smiled, nodded & winked at Carrie, telling her all was ok.
"It's okay." Sue replied.
"Me, too." Carrie replied.
"You eat shit." Chris laughed, throwing the ball at Carrie.
Carrie then took the ball and hit it hard, causing to fly right over to the opposite end, where no one could catch it in time, as everyone then looked at Carrie with dropped faces. Carrie then noticed the ball being hit back by one of the opposite team, but before anyone could turn to it, or the ball hit the water, Carrie dashed in a microsecond, hitting it back towards the opposite end, without anyone catching it. Each time the ball was hit towards one of the girls on Carrie's team, Carrie just dashed in, and hit it back, before any of them could hit it back. Sue was amazed, while Chris and all the other girls were getting annoyed.
As Chris was about to get a chance at hitting the ball, Carrie dashed in and hit it back in another microsecond. Chris was now so annoyed, she pushed Carrie into the water in front of her. "Take that, Thieving Freak!" She laughed.
"Don't be like that to her, Chris! She did nothing wrong!" Sue said sternly, pushing Chris back.
"What is wrong with you Sue?! Why do you care for that Freak?" Chris growled.
"Ok Ladies, Break it up!" Miss Desjardin called out.
"Fuck off Desjardin, this is none of your concern!" Chris roared, before the volley rocketed into Chris's face, knocking her into the water, as everyone gasped in shock, yet, no one saw where the ball came from, except Sue, who slowly looked at Carrie, knowing she must have done it.
"Everyone out of the pool, NOW!" Miss Desjardin bellowed, to avoid a fight, as everyone began making their way out of the pool...

"Are you okay?" Tommy asked on coneren.
"I'm fine." Sue replied.
"Chris got crazy." David replied.
"Yeah, Carrie's fault." Sue replied.
"Too bad. Miss Desjardin got mad at Chris." Tommy replied.
"I know, Tommy. Carrie accidently hit me in the back of my head." Sue replied.
"Too bad. I wanna go to prom with her, would I like to go with her." David replied.
"You like to go with her to prom?" Tommy asked in concern.
"Who were you dating with?" Sue asked in concern.
"Carrie White." David said nervously.
"You sure!" Tommy replied.
"Yes, of course!" Sue replied.
"Sue, come on!" Miss Desjardin replied.
"I'm coming. Ok, too, see ya." Sue replied.
"Bye, Sue." Tommy & David replied.

(Later in the Changing Rooms…)
Most of the girls were getting changed back out of their swimsuits, into their everyday clothing. Carrie meanwhile, was showering, cleaning herself up. As Carrie continued to wash herself, Sue came over, in her drying towel…
"Hi Carrie…" Sue said calmly.
"Sue?" Carrie said nervously.
"It's ok, I'm not here to hurt you." Sue said in a calm tone again.
"W-what is it?" Carrie asked in concern but still nervously.
"I wanted to apologize for-… Carrie you're bleeding!" Sue suddenly said urgently.
"What, Where?!" Carrie said in worry, as she looked down to see blood streaming down her legs with the shower water… "Wha-What's happening, what's wrong with-…? Oh it's my period…"
Suddenly, tampons came flying at Carrie as Sue saw 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 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 Sue up, as Miss Desjardin tried to break the overcrowding bullies off Carrie.
Carrie then looked at Chris's phone, but as she concentrated on it, the nucleuses in her eyes suddenly glowed a bright red, along with Chris's phone battery until…
*Chris's phone explodes into sparks, and falls to the ground*
Chris and her friends and other classmates all gasped or screamed, 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 & Sue tended to Carrie.
(Later in Principal Morton's office…)
Miss Desjardin & Sue guided Carrie into Principal Morton's office, where he was waiting… The Principal: Henry Morton.
"I'm terribly sorry about Miss Hargensen's incident, girls, can we get you anything?" Principal Morton asked calmly, as Carrie sat down with Miss Desjardin & Sue.
"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.
"Chris would do anything to hurt Carrie, she's been like that since 6th grade." Sue 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." Miss Desjardin said calmly to comfort Carrie, as she and Sue gently stroked Carrie's arms, causing Carrie to blush slightly, as Principal Morton called their parents…
