Italics- Carrie's thoughts

Underline- Sue's thoughts

Disclaimer: I don't own Carrie or any characters associated with her.

By the time literature class came around, Carrie had come to the conclusion that Sue was just the kind of girl that always made physical contact. That still didn't stop Carrie's heart from racing every time she thought of the hug to Sue gave her.

This is wrong this is so very wrong of you. Mama always told you that if you liked a girl you world you go to hell.

All those thoughts flew from Carrie's mind as she walked into literature and made eye contact with Sue. She then felt her heart start to beat rapidly when Sue gave her a smile and a wave. Carrie looked down and went to her seat.

"Carrie, did you choose a poem to read to the class?" asked Mr. L.

Carrie nodded her head and walked to the front of the class. She proceeded to read her poem.

Wow, that's really dark. And it sounds highly religious, figures. I see that most people have a 'she's crazy' expression. I mean granted I don't really like it but it probably means a lot to her, so people shouldn't be so rude.

Sue threw Mr.L a nasty glare when he made fun of Carrie's poem.

"Asshole" said Sue.

"What was that Ms. Snell?" asked Mr.M astonished. Why would his best student say that.

"Awesome. I said I think Carrie's poem is awesome. Don't you Mr. L?" Asked Sue in an innocent voice.

"Right, right of course," Mr.L muttered in an unsure voice. "Who's next?"

As Carrie went back to her seat, she gave Sue a very questioning look. Sue choose to look away.

After class, Sue made a dash for the door. She wanted to avoid everyone's questions, especially Tommy's. He had been staring at her during her entire conversation with Mr. L.

Sadly, he was faster than her.

"Wait Sue!" He yells.

Once he arrived by her side, he asked

"What was that back there? Why did you stick up for Carrie?"

She chose not to answer and just kept walking.

"Listen, I understand that you feel bad for Carrie, but you could ruin your reputation by being friendly with her," Tommy explained.

"I don't give a damn bout my reputation anymore. I just want to help her." Sue told him.

At this point everyone was already at lunch, so they didn't worry about being overheard.

"Really Sue? You don't care about your reputation at all?" Tommy asked, bewildered.

"Listen Tommy, I'm going to be honest with you. I like Carrie. After the events of yesterday, I started to think a lot about Carrie. And the more I thought, the more I started to see her in a new light," Sue explained.

"Sue, I know that you like girls and that we agreed to be a cover for each other until we felt comfortable to tell people. But do you really want Carrie to be the person you come out with?" Tommy questioned.

"I don't have anything against Carrie, but most people don't like her. And if you came out with her, not only would you be hassled for being gay, but also for dating her," Tommy told her.

Sue contemplated his words for a little while. They did make a lot of sense, but she doesn't know how to deal with her new feelings if she can't go after Carrie.

"I understand what you mean Tommy. But I need sometime to think about this situation and what I'm going to do, now let's go to lunch."

Side by side, Tommy and Sue walked to the lunch room. Both of them trying to debating on what to do about this situation.

And another chapter done! I am going to be starting school again soon, so updates may be very slow. Don't worry though, I'm not giving up this story. I'll try to update one more time before I go back. As usual please review.
