Chapter 9
The screen shows a black jeep that moves up and down.
Sue and Tommy look first at the screen, than too each other and than back to the screen.
Both feel their cheeks go a vibrant red.
The other people in the room stare also at the screen.
In the dark it is difficult to see who's car it is.
Although most seniors could swear they had seen that car before...
Inside the car are Sue and Tommy having sex.
The people in the room stare at the screen, than at Tommy and Sue and than back to the screen.
It takes everybody a few seconds to understand what they are watching.
The parents of young teens and Rita put their hands about their children/girlfriend eyes.
"Nice going Sue". Says Tina with a wink.
Sue dares too look up and sees her (male) classmates stare with lust and desire to the screen.
Just when she thinks it can't be worse, her father starts to whisper something about Tommy, a truck and dynamite.
Thanks goodness her mother notices and takes her fathers hand.
Tommy leans forward to kiss Sue, but she turns away.
Ohhhhhh Tommy! I think you're doing something wrong!. Screams Billy Delois.
Some friends and classmates of him laugh about the dirty joke.
Before anyone can say or do something, a piece of paper falls right in front of Principal Morton.
Everybody is in a seconde quite.
"What does the note say". Asks Mr Wilson.
Will you please shut up and watch the rest! You're going to see a lot more of things.
Billy Delois and his friends became quite, while the rest wonders what they are all gonna see.
Tommy: "What?"
Sue: "Sorry."
Tommy: "What."
The next scene shows us Tommy and Sue with their clothes on outside the jeep.
A lot of people feel a bit more comfortable now that the two teens are wearing clothes again.
Tommy: "Hey, what's wrong?"
Sue: "I really messed up today, Tommy."
Tommy: "What, that thing with Carrie?"
"We all messed things up Sue". Whispers Heather to no one.
Sue: "You know about that?"
Tommy: "Yeah, everyone knows about it, but you're not responsible for what Chris does."
"It wasn't only me loverboy". Says Chris.
Tommy turns around to tell Chris to shut up, but sees to his surprise not a smug look on her face.
The look on Chris face expresses smugness, but also sorrow.
Could it be that Chris felt the slightest bit of sorrow for what she had done to Carrie?
Sue: "Yeah, but it was me, too."
Tommy: "You threw tampons at Carrie White?"
The surprise in Tommy's voice makes Sue and other girls who threw tampons cringe.
Tommy: "I kicked a kid in the ribs once."
"Yeah, while he was knocked out."
A lot of people look surprised. Tommy Ross was against violence.
They couldn't remember a time he had hit or said an unkind word to someone.
"Danny Patrick". Said George Dawson with half a smile.
"Because this kid, he used to beat the living shit out of me every day in sixth grade."
"Why would he do that?" Whispers Carrie to Rita.
But in front of Carrie sits Tommy who hears her.
Tommy turns around and gives her a small smile.
Rita pulls Carrie closer to her.
Tommy notices that Carrie looks very peachfull and calm.
Having Rita as her personal bodyguard must help.
Rita on the other hand looks angry at him.
It takes him a few seconds to understand that she isn't angry at him, but that she is worried about Carrie.
After what he had seen the last few hours, he couldn't disagree with her.
"I don't know why either Carrie". He says to the shy girl.
The girl stares in his eyes. He notices that she has really beautiful eyes.
"Those people are the real losers". He says.
Miss Desjardin gives him a gratefull smile, while Carrie blushes.
"Danny Patrick."
"Do you mean Danny D Patrick?" Asks Geraldine Jones.
"What do you know, aunt Geraldine?" Asks Billy Delois.
His aunt stares at him for a few seconds. He stares back at her.
He and his aunt don't get along that well.
"In Prison".
"Did you apologize to Carrie."
Sue: "Did you apologize to Danny Patrick?"
Tommy: "No, but we're not in sixth grade anymore."
Tommy tills Sue up and kisses her.
Sue: " Don't."
Tommy: "He was a dick to me."
"What did Carrie White ever do to you."
A red car drives in a street and parks before a big house.
Chris and Tina: "Whooooo!"
Chris: "And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why he lost his license."
"Ohh really Mr Nolan!" Says officier Geraldine.
Billy Nolan curses under his breath.
"Than why are you still driving?".
Billy has no answer on that question.
At the same time Tina and Chris get looks from there parents.
Yet another thing they would have to talk about with them later.
Tina: "Then why are you still driving?"
Billy: "I don't need a license if they can't catch me."
"But we have you now, don't we Mr Nolan?" Says policeman Zack Rigger.
"Look, I'm sorry! I promise it won't happen again".
The police was expecting Billy to deny everything or be angry.
Not to promise he wouldn't do it again.
Maybe, just maybe, there was hope for him.
"Alright Mr Nolan, but only this time". Answered policewoman Maggie McGreger.
Billy Nolan looks surprised for a moment, before he gives her a wink.
Maggie can't help, but laugh a bit.
Maybe some things would never change.
The screen shows a big and modern bedroom.
The (unpopular) students who had never seen Chris room look at the screen with wonder.
The doors opens and the teenagers get inside.
Chris and Tina jump on the bed.
Chris gets to her laptop.
Chris: "Jackie's email, Jackie's email!"
Tina: "Chris, no. No!"
Billy: "Wow. Why don't you two kiss or something while you're at it?"
"Yesss, do it!" Scream many male students and some female students.
Most of the adults decide to ignore this and continue watching, while the others try to shut up the students.
Chris smiles at the crowd and gives them a wink.
Before anyone can progress what's happening, she jumps on Tina and starts to kiss her.
The students yell and stare with shock.
The kiss continues for a while, before the two seperate.
Carrie stares at the two girls kissing and feels suddendly uncomfortable.
Rita who senses her change in behavior, hugs her tighter.
The other students don't have anything against relationships between the same sex.
Chamberlain, Maine is actually a very sociale and accepting place.
It's one of the reasons her mother is so hated for her weird and backward ideas.
Despite that, would people accept that she was in a relationship with a woman who is actually a bit too old for her?
Billy: "Oh baby."
Chris: "Don't be stupid."
Chris runs to Billy and starts kissing him.
Tina: "Wait."
"Do you think we're going to get detention because of that?"
"Yes". Answers Tina with a grimm expression on her face.
"Because that would suck."
Chris: "No."
"They should be thanking us for helping her through her first period."
"Thank you Miss Hargenson". Says Mr Rodney with a sneer.
Chris tries to ignore it, but feels her checks go pink.
"I got her a tampon. So what?"
Tina: "You were only trying to help her, right?"
"Right". Whispers Eleanor Snell.
She could only shake her head at the what her daughters friends were saying and doing.
She knew that they weren't the best people, but she had thought more of them than this.
Chris: "We should post it."
"I will delete it after the movie". Says Chris to the people who look at her.
Despite this, people still look at her.
She doesn't notice because her attention is fixed on 2 people in peticulair.
While Carrie still doesn't look at her and Mrs Desjardin still looks ready to punch her, she feels better about herself.
Tina: "No, i'm in it."
Chris: "No one's going to see you, Teenie."
"Billy: What? What are you doing?"
Chris: "Carrie White."
Tina: "Favorite movie?"
Chris: "Bloodsport."
Billy: "Favorite drink?"
Chris: "Bloody Marie."
The scene changes again to the living room of Carrie's house.
Inside is Margareth, who sews and sings a song from the radio.
The crowd watches with disgust how Margareth enjoys her evening after abusing her daughter.
Where was Carrie anyway?
Margareth: "Brightly beams Our Father's mercy."
"From his Lighthouse evermore."
"But to us he gives the keeping of the lights along the shore."
"Let the lower lights be burning."
Margareth stops sewing and turns of the radio.
She walks to the prayer closet and opens it.
Inside is Carrie, who is sleeping.
"You were at that time still in that torture room". Screams Principal Henry with rage.
The other people in the room seem to have the same amount of rage as him.
Some of the students and adults look ready to go and beat Margareth up.
Unfortortuntly,
the cops keep an eye on them.
Rita stares at the little beauty in her arms.
The cops would without doubt arrest Margareth after this.
Images of a little Carrie stuck in that room for hours, even days enters her mind.
She shakes her head. That were thoughts for later.
Margareth shakes Carrie who wakes up.
Margareth: "Did you finish youre prayers, little girl?"
Carrie: "Yes, Momma."
Margareth kisses Carrie's check.
Margareth: "That's my good girl."
Carrie watches the scene unfold and bursts out in tears.
The other people in the room look from the screen to the crying girl.
Rita picks her up and pulls her in a hug.
"Ssshhhhh". She whispers gently.
"I love you."
The Wilson twins look at the screen.
The scene would have been sweet if Margareth meant what she said.
The twins knew a lot about manipulation and what Margareth was doing was that definetly.
Just when you think a person can't become worse...
Carrie: "I love you, too, Momma."
Alright people here is chapter 9. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry for the long time it took. I was out of inspiration. Next one will show Carrie's discovery of her powers. Love to write the reactions! Please let reviews behind.
