Carrie (2013)/Ernest Goes to School Crossover Prompt 1

Ernest P. Worrell works as a janitor at Ewan High School in Chaimberlan, Maine. He is a happy-go-lucky, yet incredibly dim witted and inept person. He enjoys his job immensely and has a romantic interest in the gym teacher, Mrs. Rita Desjardin. She is oblivious to this, however.

One day, a new rule is implemented at the school: all employees must have a high school diploma, which Ernest does not have. Ernest is distraught upon learning that he may have to quit his job, although the school principal, Mr. Henry Mortan, suggests he try going through 12 grade again at Ewan. Though terrified at this prospect, Ernest doesn't wish to lose his job and agrees.

On his first day as a student, Ernest is going through his locker when he notices a timid-looking blonde girl approaching the locker next to his. After taking out her books, Ernest decides to introduce himself. "Hi there, fellow student, my name is Ernest" he greeted. The girl, who was named Carrie, looked at the much older man in slight fear and confusion. Then she simply and quickly took of without a word with her head down, leaving a perplexed Ernest behind.
