Chapter 2: the beginning.
It was a normal lunch break at Ewen High School in Maine.
The populair girls also called the Ultra's were sitting and chatting with each other.
The table next to them contained the sporters and next to the sporters sat the gothics and so on.
At the end of the room, hidden in a corner was Carrie White, sitting alone. The young woman had a far away look on her face. She had after lunch break gym with Mrs Desjardin but was really not in the mood.
Her Momma had beated her last night for 'sinning' and she still had the bruises from it. The last thing she wanted was to run circles or find an excuse to explain her bruises.
Not that most people cared or noticed, Carrie thought bitterly.
After giving herself a moment to collect herself (those bitter thoughts would not help her), the doors of the cafetaria slammed open.
Out of the doors came a few grown-ups. Carrie recognized some people, like Sue Snell's mother and Chris Hargenson's father with Chris her boyfriend Billy Nolan. At that moment the rest of the cafetaria noticed the visitors and turned to face them.
The principal Mr Morton, who had at that point been eating his lunch, walked to the front of the room and said; Excuse me, but could one of you tell me please what you are all doing here? Is there something I can help you with?
Not even one seconde after he said that, Miss Snell stepped in front of him. Miss Snell; 'What do you mean sir? We've all got a letter that you wanted to speak with us about something important'.
After saying this she handed the surprised principal a letter.
Behind her sounded approvingly yes.
Mr Morton took the letter and started reading it. Some curious students tried to see the content of the letter but had no luck.
Mr Morton; 'I m sorry but Í have never send these letters. It seems someone has played a prank on all of you. I am sorry you had to come all here.
Before someone could reply there was a flash of light and out of nowhere appeared a dvd .
Everyones attention was immediatly drawn to the dvd .
Billy Delois: What the heck just happend?!
People looked confused while others by who the dvd had fallen looked scared and tried to put as much distance between themselfs and the objects .
After some minutes, some people dared to step forward and take a closer look at the object. The principal at the front of the group. He walked to the table where the dvd laid. The man looked at it looking for something that was not natural.
Mr Ullman: What is it?
Principal Morton: It looks like just a regular dvd.
Everyone looked at him like they did not believe him but they were also secretly relieved.
'How can a dvd appear out of nowhere and how is it still intact after such a fall?' said miss Desjardin.
And why is it here was the question on everyones mind.
Principal Morton: Hey here is a note!
'Then read it! I want to fucking know why there felt a dvd out of nowhere' said Tina Blake.
No one did correct her they all wanted to know the answer on that question too.
'Alright' said the principal.
Dear people.
Thank you all for coming.
I have send you this dvd because if things continue as they are right now, something terrible in going to happen in your near future.
After this noises could be heard in the room. After people calmed down the principle continued to read the letter.
To let you learn from your mistakes I will show you what would have happend had I not interverned.
If you had not all guessed it by now, I was the one who send all those letters, sorry. Everyone in this room is crucial to change things , some more then others.
For far to I have one warning: this dvd can shock you. It will show things not for the faint of heart. But this needs to happen. History has shown that you can't be left to your own devices, because the truth is that the sorrow that is soon going to befall is for a large part of your own making.
I hope you will find comfort from your loved ones and watch this movie free of judgement and full of forgiveness.
Because forgiveness is the only way forward.
Ps after reading this letter the doors will close and won't open again till the movie is finished.
After the principal was done reading he looked up from the letter.
Most people looked scared wondering what terrible future was awaiting them that some higher power had decided to interfere, while others looked bored or were in denial.
'You do not believe this right' said Chris Hargenson.
'Very funny ýou can come out now you creep'"
Before Chris could say something more, the doors closed and a harsh wind pushed Chris to fall on her butt.
' Chrissie!
John Hargenson ran to his daughter while the other onlookers stared at the doors that were now closed.
Eleanor Snell: But I can't stay here I have to go to my bridgeclub.' When she said this more comments where heard.
Miss Desjardin: I think its really important, maybe we should watch it?
Mr Snell: ' I am afraid we don't have much of a choice, the doors won't open we are stuck here'.
A fierce debate erupted.
In the end it was decided that the group would watch the movie.
The students did found this great. No lessons! Most students were still in denial and thought it was a joke.
The grown-ups cancelled their appointments and took a seat in front at the screen (the one you saw in the movie during prom). Which was installed when the adults were on the phone.
Some people like Chris father and boyfriend and Sue's parents were sitting next to there daughter/girlfriend.
Rita Desjardin was done with helping the other teachers and adults and tried to find a chair.
The only chair still free was the one next to Carrie White.
Unlike most people in Maine Rita Desjardin did not hate Carrie White, although she had not an high opinion of the young woman.
When she had first moved to Maine she had been told of Margareth White and her daughter. Rita herself had never been one for gossip and had decided take everything she had been told with an grain of salt. But she had to admit that this time around the gossip train had been right. Margareth White was an unpleasant woman to deal with.
Imagine her surprise when she had fund out that the deeply religious woman who was against sex, even in marriage, had in fact a daughter. One that went to Owen High to boot.
While Carrie was less vocal about her belief then Margareth, it did not mean she was any less difficult to deal with.
The girl was shy around people (or arrogant like her mother) and trouble seemed to follow her around.
But the thing she hated the most was her inability to follow the rules and all the excuses Carrie and somtimes her mother had for Carrie to not participate in gymclass.
Despite all this she sometimes felt bad for her when the other girls would bully her and for that reason she decided to sit next to the quite girl.
Carrie, like a lot of people in the room, looked a bit lost but also weirdly happy?
'Carrie what do you think this dvd will show us'? Asked Miss Desjardin.
Carrie jumped and turned around to face her.
Carrie: ' I'm sorry Miss Desjardin what did you say?
Trying not to show her annoyance she repeated the question.
" I said what do you think the dvd will show us? '
Carrie:' I dont now'. But I hope it has nothing to do with me she thought.
Just when Miss Desjardin wanted to respond, the principal screamed:
Alright everyone be silent the dvd starts in:

Begin.
Hey everyone and welcome to the renewed chapter 2 from my fanfic, As you all can read I have made some changes in the story that still so many people like after so much years.
First I want to thank everyone who have continued to read this story and leave reviews both good and bad. I am at the moment busy with rewriting the chapters, because while I still love this story and think it has potential, I 'don 't agree anymore woth everything I have written in the past.
Back when I first made this I was an young teenager who was depressed and naieve. Now I am an (mostly) healty young adult who still can be naieve, but who now has a better understanding of the world, about the Carrie universe and about what I want to happen to my story.
The biggest changes are Carrie's appearence, her relationship with Miss Desjardin and the timeline.
Carrie is like in my Original fanfic a junior student. She does not wear an kerchief anymore but instead has an messy appearence, courtesy of Margareth White who is scared that if her daughter is slightly attractive the boys will come sniffing like dogs. Quote noted.
Carrie has greasy, unkept hair. Pimples and wears baggy clothes. Her appearance is based more on the novel then the movies.
Carrie is a sweet young girl who is jaded because of everything she has gone through. Because of some misunderstandings people think she is very much like her mother, while the truth is different. For example, Mrs Desjardin has not an high opinion of Carrie because she tries to avoid gym, not knowing Carrie
does because she is hurt. I wish that Stephan King had tried to include more how the injuries Carrie suffers affect her.
Hint Mrs Desjardin will feel really bad once she finds out why Carrie tries to avoid gym...
This fanfic takes place a week before the shower incident, to spare Carrie the humilation and trauma and for Chris all the legal trouble she could get into for posting something like that. Plus it makes it easier for me to write. Because I don't know if she would go to jail for thist because she is a minor and if so for how long. I am from the Netherlands not the USA.
And talking about jail, no jailbird Miss Desjardin. Carrie and Miss Desjardin relationship is very different in this. As a young girl I like more people thought
the pairing was cute, fed by the fandom and fanfics. Now as an adult and even when I was a older teenager it gives/gave me the chills. Age aside the woman is in a power position so no slash.
Sorry to all the people I might have given the wrong idea with this, that was never my intention. In my young teenage mind I saw no harm in this and it is sad
that so much series and movies, not only fanfics, try to justificy some of those relationships. There are never exceptions or ways to justify adults having relationships with young adults/teenagers. Even if it is consensual.
Whelp now that that is of my chest I hope you like my changes and the new chapter. Feedback is welcome.
