Chapter 7
Carrie, Miss Desjardin and the Principal walk into the office.
Principal: Are you feeling better?
Can I get you some aspirin, some juice or something...
The Principal ticks Carrie on her back. Carrie jumps and looks scared.
The entire female population plus some men look at the principal.
"Juice?" asks Melinda Blake (Tina's mother), shaking her head. Principel Henry blushes a bright red at the looks he is getting from the female population.
Miss Desjardin: Juice? Really ,Henry?
Chris Hargenson and Tina Blake sniggered.
Principal: Maybe you just want us to leave you alone.
Miss Desjardin: Carrie, honey. I am so sorry that I slapped you.
I should have handled it better.
"You handled it good, Rita" says principal Henry as Desjardin smiled in his direction.
Desjardin: It's totally normal for young girls to get their periods. It usually actually happens a little bit earlier. Is this your first time? Honey do you understand what is happening to your body? Do you know what it means?
Carrie: What? I don't know. I felt something moving down there.
While almost all the males felt sorry for Carrie, they felt no need to talk about menstruation. It was than no surprise that all the males were looking down or staring at there hands. Hoping that the scene was almost done.
Miss Desjardin: Oh honey.
Principal: Whoa! Maybe you could, uh, talk to a counselor about that?
"A counselor?!" Henry became red in the face again. While the entire female population was starting to think that the principal was clueless about females. And the men were embaressed or laughing at Henry.
Morton: Or a nurse. Um, what I need to know is who started throwing...things.
Miss Desjardin: It was Chris Hargenson and all her friends.
"Why do you look like that at each other?" Asked Sarima Thibodeau (mother of the Thibodeau twins) the principal and gym teacher. Gwen Wilson started looking at Sarima and a light bulb went off in her head.
"They're the Ultra's aren't they?" When Gwen spoke that name, the parents of pupil misfits threw a look of pure hatred to the girls in question. They had heard of the Ultra's from their children. Rich, populair and beautiful girls who bullied other students. Their children had never said who those girls are. Saying that the ringleader's father made sure they weren't punished (very hard) or that what happened was not so bad. But from what they had seen so for they had been trying to downplay what happend at the school.
"You let those girls bully other students!" Mr Holt said to the Principal.
"Now hold on, my daughters are no bullies". Said Romy Wilson (mother of the Wilson twins). "And if they did pull some harmless pranks on other students, they must have deserved it". When Mrs Wilson was done with talking, she threw Carrie and other misfits nasty looks.
"You crazy skanks!" Mrs Holt saw red in the face.
"They don't need to be bullied by your manipulating, goth whores!"
"What did you call my daughters!". Screamed miss Wilson, getting purple in her face from anger. Before the two woman could start a bitch fight, both were pushed back by their partners. Principal Henry was looking at the woman and felt an headache coming up.
"When the video is over, we will all talk in my office about this, alright." This seemed to calm the woman.
Principal: Cassie.
Miss Desjardin: Carrie.
Principal: Carrie did Chris Hargenson start this?
Miss Desjardin: Honey, you don't have to protect them. What they did was unforgiveable.
Chris watched waiting for the freak to pull them all under the bus.
Principal: Okay, uh...It doesn't seem that Carrie is going to point the finger, so Miss Desjardin, I need you to get the bottom of this. Let the punishment fit the crime.
Miss Desjardin: Okay.
Principal: Carrie your excused from PE class for the rest of the week.
Miss Desjardin: Just take study hall, okay, At the library?
Principal: Yeah ,we're going to call your mom, Carrie.
Carrie: What.
In the background bubbles start to rise.
Principal: Were going to have to call your mother, Carrie. 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?
Carrie: Mmm-mmm. No.
The pure look of terror on Carrie's face was enough to make every single person in the room start to worry about Carrie. There was something wrong, but what? What could make Carrie having a reaction like that?
Miss Desjardin: Sweetie, we have no choice. We have to tell your mother what happened.
Carrie: No!
The watermachine in the room breaks.
"What?"
The people in the room watched with disbelief as the watermachine broke down.
"How is that possible?" Asked Freddy Holt. But he could not think about any scientific event that could explain what was happening on the screen.
But what was happening to them now could also not be scientificly explained.
He watched Carrie. Everything what was happening was connected to her. What was she hiding?
Miss Desjardin: Carrie.
Carrie sits on a bench. Two boys who sit next to her look at her.
Boy 1: Hey. Hey you.
Carrie looks at them and they make sexual gestures.
"Freddy Delois and Henry Tennant, Detention! Tommorow after school!" Said the Principal. When the two boys wanted to defend their case, Henry gave them a look. Both boys started muttering. Man, since this movie had began the principal had grown balls and everybody felt sorry for Creepy Carrie. What the hell was happening next?
Carrie looks away in disgust and closses her eyes. When Carrie opens her eyes again Margaret stands in front of her.
The adults that had known Ralph White felt a chill going down there backs. The look on Margaret's face was that of her late husband Ralph White!
The scene changes and now showes Carrie and Margaret walking out of the school. Margaret drags Carrie to the car. Carrie turns around to the Ultra's and Chris's boyfriend Billy Nolan who point and stare at her. Chris says something and shows Billy the video.
"Your sick Hargenson". Says Lila Thibodeau as Chris snares at Lila.
"Like you are any better, you laughed to and threw tampons like the rest of us". While the girls were bickering, John Hargenson was worried. His daughter had a video of the incident. The possible legal problems that could gave made him dizzy.
Billy laughs at it and Carrie gets in the car. The scene changes again. Now you see Margaret and Carrie in the car. Carrie looks after a few seconds at her mother.
Current Billy Nolan hid his smile.
Carrie: I'm sorry you had to come to school today, mom.
The room was quite, looking at mother and daughter interact.
Margaret doesn't look at Carrie, but takes her hand instead. Margaret parks the car for their house and stands still.
Margaret: Let's go inside, little girl. You need to come inside with me.
Carrie: Mama, why didn't you tell me? I was so scared, mama. I thought I was going to die. Mama they laughed at me and they threw things at me.
Margaret steps out of the car and looks finally at Carrie.
Margaret: We'll talk about this inside, Carrie.
Carrie: No!
Margaret turns around and gives Carrie a look full of disgust and loathing. Carrie shrinks down.
Carrie: I want to talk about it right now. I don't want to get inside with you.
The people of Chamberlain had never thought that the could feel more disgust for Margaret White. This movie was proving them wrong. They had watched the scene, hoping the woman would redeem herself and show them that what happend after Carrie's birth was a one time thing. But even though she was not trying to kill Carrie with a knife, it did not show her in a good light. Not only was she a crazy bitch, but a bad mother. Carrie was clearly in need of comfort, but the woman did nothing except ignore her and trying to force Carrie in the house not listing to her wishes.
Carrie looks behind her and sees a boy on his bike. When the boy is away Carrie looks forward again. Carrie wants to step out of the car, but at her side is the boy on the bike.
Boy: Crazy Carrie, Crazy Carrie!
Tommy Erbert (the boy) pulls his face to the window and makes snorts.
"I'm sorry Carrie". Said Tommy Erbert egged on by his parents and some regret of his own. But Carrie didnt seen to hear him. She was with her thoughts somewhere else.
Carrie jumps slighty and looks at the boy who is now behind her again.
Tommy: Crazy Carrie, Crazy Carrie.
Carrie looks angry at Tommy, suddendly Tommy falls with his bike. He gives Carrie a nasty look, before getting up and away from her. Carrie looks shocked and slightly scared about what happend. It seems she's muttering something.
"Why keeps everything falling around you?" Asked Christine Jones (a Senior).
It was a fact that Carrie was a klutz. Everybody at school knew that, but this was ridiculous!
Carrie looks above her to the sun and trees.
They come closer and closer until the screen turns black.
