Chapter 10 Surprise?
The screen shows a big sport field.
On the sport field sit some teenage girls.
Rita Desjardin stands in front of them.
The crowd looks at the screen.
Man, that woman was looking angry!
Even some of the bravest men had to admit that the gym teacher looked really scary.
Rita: "All right, stand up!"
The girls stand up.
"Line up, please".
Rita stares at the girls when she walks past them.
"You have a big week coming up".
"Junior Prom".
Freddy Holt watches the exchange on the screen.
People were looking a bit more calm thanks to the relaxing scene.
They probably thought they would see a milder scene.
He could only chuckle.
While he didn't know exactly what had happend during Miss Desjardins detention, he knew from the rumors that it was ugly.
Looks like they would finally see what had really happend.
"Are you excited?" "You probably all have your dresses".
Sue looks to the floor.
She knew that it was the right thing to let Tommy take Carrie to prom, but that didn't mean that it didn't hurt.
The girls start to laugh and talk with each other.
"You have your dates by now".
Rita stops in front off Chris.
"What about you, Chris?"
"Who's the lucky guy?"
Chris:"Billy Nolan". "You don't know him".
Chris was looking at Miss Desjardins past self.
She could only shake her head at her own past self.
It was really dumb of her to behave like that, especially with how angry Miss Desjardin had been.
"He doesn't go to this school".
Rita:"Are you going to get him a boutonniere?"
"Or are you just going to pin a bloody tampon to his lapel?"
Some of the people in the crowd start to couch out of surprise and shame.
At the same time some boys couldn't help but wonder how that would look.
The girls start to whisper.
Chris:"I so don't need to hear this".
Chris tries to walk away, but Rita stops her.
"Bad move Miss Hargensen". Says Mrs Martina while shaking her head.
Rita:"You're not going anywhere".
Rita turns now to Sue.
"What about you, Sue?"
"Are you and Tommy busy campaigning to be Prom King and Queen?"
Eleanor Snell wants to tell Miss Desjardin to leave her daughter alone, but discovers that she can't.
Her daughter did something horrible to Carrie and she has to face the consequences.
She looks at the girls in Rita's arms. She feels a wave of sorrow
They all had to face the consequences of what they had done.
"Its hard, isn't it?" Whispers her best friend Geraldine Jones.
She shakes her head to her lifetime friend.
"Sometimes you have to punish them hard, because else they won't know their bountries".
While saying that she looks to her nephew Billy Delois.
"I would have voted for you".
Rita walks away from Sue.
"Not now".
Sue stares ashamed to the ground.
"You all did a shitty thing yesterday".
"A really shitty thing".
"And one of you had the audacity to post a video".
"Yes, Miss Hargenson!" Yells Henry Trennant while standing on his chair.
Chris gives him a glare and continues watching the movie.
"Get of that chair, Mr Trennant". Warns Mr Fromm.
The girls start to whisper again.
"Somebody made a video of it?"
Chris:"This is bullshit".
Rita:"That's it".
"Thanks to Miss Hargensen, you're all running suicides".
"I really need to learn my mouth shut, don't I?" Asks Chris.
The students in the room look surprised at her, knowing how stubborn she could be.
Some of the grown ups and teachers smile at the scene before them.
Maybe this movie wasn't that bad after all.
It give them the chance to change things for the better and it seemed to have a good effect on the students.
All the girls start to moan.
Chris:"I'm not doing it".
Rita"That's up to you".
"That's up to all of you, but anyonewho stops running is suspended".
The girls look defeated.
Principal Morton shakes his head.
At first he and some other had thought the punishment was too hard, but this showed that Rita had been right.
"And if you're suspended, you're not going to prom".
"While you're running, I'd like for you to think long and hard about what it would be like to be Carrie White".
The room was completely silent.
Everyone was thinking about what Carrie being bullied, Carrie being abused and Carrie crying and bleeding.
The girls from gym class were shivering.
The thought off living that day in and out was horrible.
The screen changes.
It now shows the front off the school.
In front of the school stands an old car.
Inside of the car sit Carrie and Margareth.
The crowd looks with anger at the screen.
Carrie was looking so submissive that it made many mothers sick.
How could Margareth look so smug about her daughter being terrified of her?
At the some moment Carrie stiffed at seeing her mother.
Carrie:"I'll be okay, Mama".
Margareth:"I'm going to leave work early today and pick you up after school".
"Fucking bitch". Mutters Norma Watson.
Margareth gives Carrie a kiss on the check.
Carrie staps out of the car and walks inside the school.
During this Margareth watches her.
"I think it would be handy for Margareth if she had the neck off a giraffe". Said Vicky Hanscome.
The thought of Margareth with a giraffe neck made some students snicker.
The screen changes back to the sport field.
All the girls are running rounds around the field.
Chris:"She can't do this to me".
Tina winches at those words and turns to Chris.
"Yes, she can Chris".
"She has in fact done it already".
Chris smirks.
"Damn right she can". Answers Chris.
Chris couldn't help but admire Mrs Desjardin for what she did.
It took a lot of guts, something that Chris admired.
Sue:"Just let it go, Chris". "We're almost done".
Chris:"Then every day this week?"
"All because of Carrie White?"
"Like hell I will".
Chris stops running.
Rita:"Keep moving, Hargensen".
"Keep running or you're not
going to prom."
"You enjoyed that, didn't you Rita." Says Principal Morton while trying not to laugh.
The gymteachers gives him n response a cocky smile.
Chris:" Fuck you!"
At the same time John Hargenson shakes his head.
How had he let it come so far?
He should have listened to his ex wife.
She had warned him, but he had refused to listen.
The first thing he would do after this movie is calling her.
Rita and the girls stare at her in shock.
"This is child abuse".
People look uncomfortable at the mention of child abuse.
"What did you say to me?"
"I'm not going to run another goddamn inchbecause Carrie White got her periodand was too stupid to know what it was".
"Carrie is not stupid". Says Ms Drew matter of fact towards Chris.
"She has in fact higher grades than you do".
After this some boys start to yell and chirp.
Rita:" You're suspended".
" You're out of promand you're out of my class".
Chris walks to Rita.
"Now".
" No".
The two stare each other in the eyes
Everyone in the room can feel the hate between the two woman on the screen.
"Bitch fight, bitch fight, bitch fight". Screams Billy Delois suddendly with glee.
His best mate Henry Trennant slaps himbagainst the head.
"Idiot!".
"This has already happend". He says.
Billy looks at him for a few seconds.
"Ohhhhhhh". He says.
Rita:"No ?"
Chris:" You can't decide that".
"It's a miracle Rita didn't slap her". Whispers Mrs Martina to Mrs Rennie.
"She can't do this to us".
Rita:"Goodbye, Chris".
"The rest of you, keep at it".
The rest of them start to run again.
Chris:"Someone could die of dehydration".
"Tina, you have a heart condition, right?"
Tina's father and mother look worried at those words.
Tina's mother turns around and faces Mrs Desjardin.
Mrs Desjardin looks kind at them.
"I know about Tina's hesrt condition and watched her".
Tina's mother relaxes visible after this and decides to continue watching the movie.
Tina stares at Chris.
"If we all stick together,
they're not going to suspend all of us".
"They're not going to keep us all from prom".
"There would be no prom".
"Is that true?" Asks Mr Wilson to Principal Morton.
He shakes his head, but has a feeling in his stomach that Chris wasn't totally wrong.
"Nik, Lizzy?"
The twins shake their heads.
Rita:"Let's go, ladies!"
Chris:"Heather?"
Heather hides her face behind her cap.
"This is bullshit!"
"We didn't do anything wrong".
Rita:"All right, let's go".
Chris:"Right, Sue?"
Sue stares at Chris with shock.
Chris tries to walk away with Sue.
"You're with me on this, right?"
"Come on".
"Sue".
Sue looks at Chris and shakes her head.
Chris looks stunned.
Rita:"Come on".
"Keep going, ladies".
Chris:"This isn't over".
"This isn't over by a long shot".
At those words Chris looks at her hands.
Billy notices this and whispers:
"Do you want to continue our plan?
Chris looks up at him and forms with her mouth the word no.
The screen now shows Carrie walking in the school.
People stare at her and some laugh.
Girl:"That's Carrie White".
Vicky Handscome watches the scene with self loathing.
How could Carrie forgive them for everything they had done?
Carrie walks further and tries to ignore them.
Carrie watched her past self with a blank face.
Oh, how it hurt to be strong and ignore all the laughter.
She touches Rita's nose with her finger and feels Rita laughing.
By Rita she never had to be strong.
She walks to her locker.
She stares with tears in her eyes to her locker.
In big letters is writing: Carrie White eats shit!
Cindy Young looks at the grafetti with mixed feelings.
To think that she and her other classmates found it a few hours ago hilarious.
A janitor tries to remove the graffiti.
Carrie runs to the girls bathroom.
When she is inside, she walks to the mirror.
Slowly she removes a part of her kerchief.
The part of her face that is revealed is blue.
People feel sick while staring at the big blue bruise on Carrie's face.
They turn around and watch the timide girl.
"It's alright, I had worse and the bruises are almost gone". Says Carrie after seeing the concerned looks.
People seem to relax after this statement.
"Oh Carrie". Whispers Mrs Snell sadness.
Carrie touches it and jumps a bit.
She stares at it and looks miserable.
Suddendly the mirror starts to crack and it breaks.
The people in thr room stare with confusing at the screen.
How did that happen?" Asks Jessica.
She notices that Carrie has become pale.
"Just keep watching".
Carrie looks a few seconds at the now broken mirror..
She then looks at the piece
s of the mirror.
The pieces start to float .
The people in the room stare with their mouths open at the screen.
Most of them can't believe what they are seeing.
After the get out of their shock, they turn to Carrie.
"What is that?!".
"How do you do that!?"
"What the hell is going on!?".
Carrie looks scared and tries to run for it again, but Rita stops her.
"Carrie will explain everything after this scene, right Carrie?" Says Rita.
Oh, oh...
Carrie looks at it and smiles.
When she turns around she sees Heather Shrys coming out of the toilet.
She stops the pieces from floating, pulls her kerchief back and runs out of the girls bathroom.
