Date: Monday 17th June 2013
Time: 1:10pm
Location: Ewen High School, Chamberlain, Maine
It was gym class at the local High School, as one class of girls were preparing for volleyball practice in the swimming pool, including at 'School Reject' Carrie White…
From the moment Carrie was born, Life for her… was Hell… she was raised by her mother: Margaret White, who was a Mentally Unstable and Religiously Fanatical Zealot, who believed that everything was sinful… and whenever Carrie had or hadn't done something like that, Margaret would beat Carrie, and lock her in the Prayer Closet at their bungalow home… because of the way she had raised Carrie, Carrie had become an easy target of bullying from 6th Grade and beyond into High School, especially from her class group: The Mortimer Snerds, led by Chris Hargensen, consisting of her friends: Tina Blake, Nicki & Lizzy Waston, Heather Shyers, Rachel Spies, Anissa Chen, Jessica Upshaw, & several others...But secretly, One of the Group: Sue Snell, one of Chris's closest friends, had recently started to have second thoughts about their actions towards Carrie, especially as she had never done anything bad to any them, which was also shared with the School Gym Teacher: Miss Rita Desjardin, who had suspicions of Margaret, from the way she acted in public, though no one was aware of Margaret's true colors, Rita had a strange feeling about her…
Carrie was standing by the pool, in her black swimsuit with white trim as the Snerds all came walking out in their red and blue swimsuits, laughing to each other…
Sue was then approached by her boyfriend: Tommy Ross, as he embraced her into a chucking hug, before the two began kissing… Tommy was then was then approached by friend: Eric Jones, from the crash site, as he embraced them into a chucking hand clapping, before the three began happy… causing Carrie to raise a small smile & like Eric…
"Wipe that smile of your face!" Chris rudely snapped at Carrie, causing Carrie to lose her smile, as Miss Desjardin to blow her whistle…
"Let's go ladies, In the water, Caps on Please! Chris & Sue, Let's go!" Miss Desjardin called, still blowing her whistle.
Throughout the game, everyone took part… except Carrie, who would spend most of the game standing in the corner, only taking shots that fell her way…
As Carrie was given a chance, she took her shot, but accidently hit Sue in the back of the head…
"You eat shit." Chris mocked as she threw the ball back at Carrie…
(Later, in the Changing Rooms…)
Everyone was washed and getting dressed, to finish for the day… Eric however was still showering, washing her elegant and feminine body, he finished getting shirts… he opened the locker door and he looked at his schoolbag that was open small, he opened Blue Scarab was empty & gone…
"Oh no!" Eric gasped.
Eric looked & turned around, before Blue Scarab escaped on the floor, Eric looked & turned around and Blue Scarab was gone…
"No! I don't believe it." Eric replied.
(Later, in the Changing Rooms…)
Everyone was washed and getting dressed, to finish for the day… Carrie however was still showering, washing her elegant and feminine body with a bar of soap…
As Carrie continued to shower, she and everyone were unaware, as the Blue Scarab slithered up the shower drainpipe, gripping hard onto the tiled surface, despite the flows of shower water…
As the Blue Scarab looked around, it saw there quite a lot of people within the changing room it had sneaked into, it quickly needed to find a new host to hide in… it could have chosen anyone, but would be spotted too easily… but then it noticed the closet person it could find… Carrie, as well as sensing a strange feeling from her, as it quickly slithered towards her unnoticed…
As the Blue Scarab was about to latch itself to Carrie, Carrie dropped her bar of soap, panicking from seeing her soap covered in blood, from her first period… But as Carrie noticed the Blue Scarab like Blue, she screamed loudly, as the creature quickly latched onto Carrie's left leg, as Carrie tried to get it off her with no effect, as it crawled and slithered up her body, before it quickly sank into her skin and body, while Carrie continued screaming for help, as she ran towards the Snerds, before grabbing Sue's shirt with her blood-soaked hand…
"Get off me you Freak!" Sue gasped, as Carrie let go, leaving a bloody handprint on Sue's Shirt.
"Please help me, there's something in here and it's got me, I think it's making me bleed to death!" Carrie screamed desperately.
"Oh, my God. Look what you did to my shirt." Chris replied.
Suddenly, tampons came flying at Carrie as Chris and her friends threw more and more at them, while chanting 'Plug it up' over and over, as Chris recorded them on her phone, Sue saw them, Sue not to laugh at Carrie.
Sue then tried to take Chris's phone, only for Tina and Nicki to push her to the ground, as they continued to laugh and chant at them…
"This is certainly gonna make a great lesbo scene for the internet." Chris chuckled, while still recording, as Carrie tried to help as Miss Desjardin tried to break the overcrowding bullies off Carrie.
Carrie then looked at Chris's phone, but as she concentrated on it, the nucleuses in her right hand suddenly glowed a blue lightning, along with Chris's phone battery until…
*Chris's phone explodes into sparks, and falls to the ground*
Chris and her friends and other classmates all gasped or screamed, as her phone just exploded for no reason, or so they thought…
"What the hell is going on here?!" Miss Desjardin roared with anger at everyone, as she got in between the feud.
"They were throwing tampons and chanting at Carrie, and recording it…" Sue said nervously, as Miss Desjardin, looked angrily at Chris and the other classmates.
"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris growled.
"Everyone get out! NOW! OUT!" Miss Desjardin growled and shouted at Chris and the girls went and finished getting dressed nervously.
"Okay, deep breaths. Come here. Come on. It's okay. You're okay, sweetie. It's totally normal. Shh." Miss Desjardin replied, while she hugged Carrie, trying to keep her calm…
"CARRIE…" A blue growling gurgling girl voice sounded in Carrie's head, as she gasped & whimpered slightly… as her went blue for a second…
(Later, in the Principal Morton's Office…)
*RING!*
The school bell rang across the school. Carrie was brought into Principal Morton's office along with Miss Desjardin. When he was waiting… The School Principal: Henry Morton.
"Are you, uh, feeling any better?" Principal Morton asked Carrie, who was now dressed in normal clothes, being guided to his office by him and Miss Desjardin. "Can I get you any aspirin, or maybe some juice or something?"
Carrie gasped and flinched as he tried to put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Morton backed away, realizing it's not going to help.
"Juice, Really Henry?" Miss Desjardin asked like what a weird question to ask… as Carrie sat down.
"Carrie, Honey, I am so sorry that- that I slapped you, I should have handled it better…" Miss Desjardin apologized.
"You definitely should have, you had no right to slap us like that!" The voice said sternly in Carrie's head, as Carrie gasped again.
"Carrie, are you okay?" Miss Desjardin asked from noticing Carrie's sudden gasp, as Carrie whimpered nervously.
"Miss Desjardin said you said something crawled into you…" Principal Morton added in confusion and concern.
"I don't know, I saw & felt something moving down there, then it like latched onto me, I tried to get it off, but then it just disappeared…" Carrie replied nervously, trying to describe what she remembered…
"Yeah, that was us…" The voice sounded again in Carrie's back, as Carrie gasped again.
"Carrie? What's wrong, you're gasping a lot…" Miss Desjardin said, noticed Carrie was still scared of something.
"Cassie…" Principal Morton asked.
"Carrie." Miss Desjardin corrected.
"Carrie, who was it, who started throwing… things?" Principal Morton asked correctly.
"It was Chris Hargensen and all of her friends." Miss Desjardin replied.
"Carrie, Did Chris Hargensen start this?" Principal Morton asked, trying to keep Carrie calm.
"YES, SHE DID, & we'll gladly take all their heads off when we get the chance!" The voice in Carrie's head said sternly.
"Don't say that." Carrie replied.
"What? What Carrie?" Miss Desjardin asked in confusion.
"Not you…" Carrie replied suddenly, trying to realize who she was talking to…
"Who are you talking to Carrie, Honey?" Miss Desjardin asked in concern and confusion.
"Rita, I want you to get to the bottom of what happened, let the punishment fit the crime." Principal Morton replied.
"Okay, Carrie you're excused from PE Class for the rest of the week, just take study class in the library, okay." Miss Desjardin told Carrie calmly.
"Yeah. We're gonna have to call your mother." Principal Morton replied.
The mention of her mother made Carrie's eyes widen with fear. Outside, the group caught on to what Principal Morton suggested, and they faced each other nervously.
"What?" Carrie spoke up.
"We're going to have to call your mother, Carrie." Principal Morton added in, causing Carrie to look worried.
Carrie faced Principal Morton with horror and shook her head. The water cooler behind her started bubbling.
"I know she's had problems with us in the past, ever since the state stopped her from homeschooling you anymore, but we've got to bring her into this, okay?" Principal Morton explained.
"Mmm-mmm." Carrie shook her head. "No."
Carrie's shaking grew more adamant. The bubbles in the water cooler started coming faster, a cracking sound could be heard.
"Sweetie, we have no choice." Miss Desjardin explained. "We have to tell your mom what happened."
"NO! If she really is the way she is, she can get her head bitten off too!" The voice sounded sternly again in Carrie's head.
"STOP IT!" Carrie screamed, as the water cooler suddenly burst by itself, causing Miss Desjardin and Principal Morton to jump in fright, as Carrie quickly rushed out of the office…
(Later…)
Carrie was sitting and waiting by the lockers, for her mother to pick her up, while two boys sitting nearby, was making jokes about her, and making sexual poses and faces at her…
Suddenly, Carrie then growled at the boys, giving them an aggressive and monstrous look, as her face was covered in blue claws, with massive aggressive yellow eyes and sharp teeth covering her mouth, causing the boys to jump, before getting up and walking away in fright very quickly.
Carrie gasped as her face returned to normal… she couldn't understand what was going on with her, what was causing her to act & retaliate aggressively? Why was she hearing a voice in her back? What was even that thing she saw in the showers that got on to her even?
As Carrie closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she opened them again, only to see her mother standing over her with a blank look…
As Margaret helped Carrie to & into the car, Carrie noticed Chris angrily, she and the Snerds her phone was destroyed, with her boyfriend: Billy Nolan, while he saw Chris angrily.
"Chris, what is it? Why are you mad at her?" Billy asked in concern.
"My phone was destroyed." Chris replied.
"What?" Billy asked in concern.
"Those freaks broke my phone!" Chris replied.
"Are you sure?" Billy asked in concern.
"Yeah." Chris replied.
"Babe, are you crazy?" Billy asked in concern.
"I'm not crazy!" Chris replied.
"Okay, fine." Billy replied.
Chris is angry with Billy and the Snerds, except for Sue…
As Margaret and Carrie drove off, Miss Desjardin watched them, while still having her suspicions about Margaret… ever since the state had stopped Margaret from homeschooling Carrie, she had not got on well with anyone in the school… not even the whole town for that matter, as Miss Desjardin walked back into the school…
