Chapter 14 Rejected.
The screen shows Tommy walking through the hall.
Multiple students and one teacher great him.
"Hello Mr Popular". Says Freddy Holt.
Tommy looks at his geeky friend.
"I love you too, you science geek". Answers Tommy.
Tommy walks to the cantine.
He looks around and sees Carrie sitting all alone at one table.
The sight of Carrie sitting all alone makes some people cringe.
Tommy walks to her.
Tommy:"Hey, Carrie".
Carrie looks up from her books and sees Tommy.
"I was looking for you at the library
because that's where they said you were".
"But, uh, you weren't there,
so I figured maybe you were here".
"Great start of a conversation, Ross". Says George Dawson.
Tommy pushes him friendly in response.
"Telekinesis: Unlocking the Mind."
Carrie:" No, no",
Tommy:"Is that about, uh, hypnosis?"
Heather Shrys and some nerds look at Tommy with horror.
"Everyone knows that telekineses is the abilithy to move objects with you're mind!". Says Heather Shrys.
The other nerds shake their heads.
"Nerd".Whispers Nikki to Lizzie.
"Because me and my friends, we tried that".
"We actually hypnotized my boy's dog".
"Really?" Say some people.
"It's a really funny story". Answers Tommy with a smile on his face.
"After all we have seen, nothing surprises me anymore". Says Mrs Drew.
"Anyway, um..."
"How are you doing?"
Carrie: "I'm okay".
Tommy:"Cool".
"So you know how, um,
prom is next week?"
"You know?"
"Um, I was wondering,
if you don't have a date already,
maybe you want to go with me".
Carrie:"What?"
"I would react the same". Says Cindy Yang.
The rest of the group looks at Tommy.
"What?". Asks Tommy and his father
They look confused.
Mrs Ross shakes her head.
"That is not the way you ask a girl, let stand one that you barely know!" Says Jessica Upshaw.
"And that is bullied". Says Sue Snell.
"The most popular boy in school asks out a unpopular girl..." Says Mary Thibodeau.
"...and said boy also has a girlfriend!" Says Lila Thibodeau.
Father and son are blushing at the end.
Tommy pulls at his hair.
"Sorry?"
"Well the good thing is that you can try again, Ross".
"This hasn't happen yet". Says Chester Miller.
"I will help you with it". Continues Chester Miller.
Suddendly the boys hear a noise.
"I think it is in everybodys favor if we continue watching the movie". Says Rita Desjardin.
Beside her Carrie is blushing.
Both the boys shake their head.
The movie continues...
Tommy: "The prom".
"Next week".
Carrie looks around her and sees multiple (popular) students staring at them
Carrie takes her books and walks away.
"I'm sorry". Says Carrie timidly to Tommy.
Tommy shakes his head.
"You don't have to apologise, Carrie" Says Tommy.
"This is my fault".Says Tommy
"I should have thought more on this one". Says Tommy.
Carrie still looks uncomfortable.
"Girl, it isn't youre fault Tommy can be clueless". Says George Dawson.
George walks to Carrie and puts his arm around her shoulder.
"You know, I never understood how he and Sue got together with him being so clueless". Jokes George Dawson.
Carrie and several others laugh at this.
"Now you accept his apologie and we continue watching the movie".Says George Dawson.
"Okay". Says Carrie with a small smile.
Tommy runs after her.
Tommy:"Carrie".
"Hey".
"Carrie"
Carrie:"Stop!"
"Please, just stop trying to trick me".
Most students stare at the ground with shame at this.
"No, I'm not trying to trick you".
"I'm not tricking you".
Carrie:"Aren't you with Sue Snell?"
Tommy:"Yeah, I'm with Sue Snell,
but she doesn't want to go".
"Really convincing, Tommy". Says Ruth Gogan to her friends boyfriend.
Carrie:"I'm sorry.
Carrie walks away, but this time Tommy doesn't follow her.
The screen changes again and now showes Carrie crying in the girls changeroom.
"Shit". Whispers Tommy.
He never wanted to make her upset.
The other people look at the scene with pity.
Suddendly Rita walks through the door.
Rita sees Carrie crying and walks to her.
Rita:"Did one of the girls try
something again?"
"Right on the case, aren't you Miss Desjardin". Chuckles agent Zack Rigger.
Rita smiles at him.
"You have no idea" Say several students and teachers.
Carrie:"No".
"I got invited to prom".
Rita:"Really?"
"That's great news".
Vicky looks at the screen with confusing.
Did Mrs Desjardin look sad for a moment?
Vicky shakes her head.
She is imagining things.
"With who?"
Carrie:"It's Tommy Ross".
Rita:"Wow".
"Tommy Ross?"
"He is pretty dreamy, huh?"
Carrie:"Yeah".
"I know who he goes
around with".
"Yet another reason not to trust it". Says Sue.
Her plan to do something nice for Cartie was failing.
She had thought that Carrie had a crush on Tommy, but that was apparently not true.
There were many holes in her plan.
She had to change her plan.
"They're just going to
trick me again".
"Right?"
Rita:"Maybe he really meant it".
Carrie:"No".
Rita:"Yes, of course he did".
Carrie:"Why?"
"Why would he want
to go with me?"
The people in the room feel bad at the girls clear lack of confidence.
Knowing that they are all in one way or another responsible for it.
"You're smart, you're funny... Says Malcom Palmer.
"You have superpowers". Says Billy Nolan.
He turns to Carrie.
"You know, the offer still stands". Says Billy Nolan.
"Mr Nolan!" Scream Principal Morton..
Most of the adults and students frown at him.
"What?". Says Billy Nolan with a cocky smile.
Principal Morton and several others just shake their heads.
Rita:"Come here".
Rita takes Carrie in her arms and they walk to a mirror.
"Do you know what I see?"
"I see a beautiful young woman".
"How can you say that?". Asks Chris Hargenson
"You see almost none of her face!" Continues Chris Hargenson.
The other people in the room look confused.
"Wait a seconde..." Says Mrs Watson
"You have seen Carrie without her kerchief, haven't you?" Continues Mrs Watson.
Rita nods her head.
"How does she look?"Asks several people.
"Beautiful" Says Rita with a big smile.
The room is quite for a few seconds.
People look unconvinced.
"Are you...". Says Tina Blake.
Before Tina can finish her sentence, Rita speaks.
"I am 100 procent sure". Says Rita.
She glares at the peoplewho looks unconvinced.
Daring them to say a word.
Everyone decides is best to not start a fight with Rita and not harm Carrie's self-esteem farther
"Maybe wear a little make-up".
"Pinch your cheeks a little bit,
put some color in there".
"Curl your hair".
"Stand up straight".
"There you go".
