Carrie White And I

Chapter 3 - P.E

After another boring period of Maths and figuring out the area of a circle (which is going to be  as useful as algebra when I get a job) I had P.E, luckily I still had my uniform from my last school, so I just used that. The P.E department was located close to Maths, which I only found out by seeing a sign pointing to it (thanks sign) I walked into the changing rooms and found a spot near the middle of the row. There was another person beside me getting changed too. He had blonde hair and was quite attractive to be honest. I think I saw him in English sitting a couple of rows behind Carrie. As I got lost into my thoughts, I didn't realise that I was still staring at the guy. "You okay there, new kid?" Coming out of my trance, I shook myself awake and said "Oh, yeah, sorry" I smiled and turned back to get changed. He smiled also, he seems like a nice guy, I thought to myself. Maybe things here won't be as bad as I think they are. I got into my swimming trunks awkwardly holding the towel around my waist as I did so. The guy beside me looked at me a couple times, almost questionably. I packed my things into the locker and walked down to the shower block. Only 40 minutes until Carrie's incident.
P.E was crap, all we did was play volleyball in the swimming pool. I was quite lucky though, I had the nice guy in my team, he kept giving me little glances every few minutes. I mean, I wasn't that skinny, I wasn't too perfect (according to shit magazines that make people think that the size of a pencil led is the size your waist has to be) but he had an interest. I looked at him a couple of times too. He had a six pack,  or noticeable but still there, his hair was almost winter fire. Well, a crush on the first day doesn't seem too bad.  I was suddenly awakened by a "Heads up" and the impact of the volleyball to my face. "Sh-shoot" I said, already feeling the blood coming out of my nose. Our gym teacher told me to come out of the pool to get cleaned up. I got out and walked around the pool. I noticed the nice guy looking at me again, almost worryingly. Seriously what is with the love interest, leave me alone. Then I saw Carrie, she was playing the same game in the other pool with the penguin squad. She had the ball and tried to hit it over, instead she hit the Shepherd of the flock Chris on the back of the head. Not my funeral I thought, but I still felt worried for Carrie, be careful.
I walked through to the bathroom, cleaning the blood that had just started to come out of my nose. Thank god it's not broken, I thought to myself. I looked in the mirror, then thought about this mornings incident. How did that happen? This thought was interrupted by people walking through to the changing rooms, the toilets were close to the changing room. I saw the nice guy walk in. "Are...are you alright?" I smiled towards him and said "Yeah, thanks" I looked back into the mirror and looked at the nice guy. "So, what's your name, new kid?" He had a little smirk on his face. I looked at his reflection in the mirror "Conor, and your name, nice guy?" I laughed a little, so did he. "Derek, nothing nice about me, I can tell you" I smiled just a little "I'm sure you're a nice guy" if this wasn't flirting, god knows what else this could be. I kept getting distracted as I couldn't stop staring at his six pack. Damn it mind will you stop? "Something you like?" He said, and I instantly turned red, almost the red as the blood on the tissues I grabbed. "Uhh, no, sorry" he smiled and laughed. My nose was finally dry. I turned to face him. "We better go get changed." He looked at me and nodded. We both walked out of the toilets to the changing area, it was nearly empty. I walked to my locker and opened it. As I got changed, I felt a huge pain in my chest. Burning. "Hey, you okay?" Derek asked. I gasped in a breath and shook my head then it started to linger. "Woah, that was weird" I said. "It's just fading" Derek looked at me as if I was insane. He laughed it off, almost as if he thought it was rude. "I'm sure you'll be okay, probably just a cramp. I thought in this for a second and nodded. "Yeah, probably" I finished getting changed and put my bag on. Suddenly, the screaming from another room. The girls changing room. I instantly thought "Carrie" I listened for a minute and started hearing chanting. "Plu....up, Plug I..up, Plug it up" I started feeling weird. What's happening through there? I thought of going in there, but a guy in the girls changing rooms, it wouldn't work. I ran out the door and thankfully found Miss Desjardin. "Miss!!" Miss Desjardin turned around to face me with a almost shocked face. "What's up Conor?" I think as soon as she faced me, she heard it. She walked over to the girls changing room and walked through the door. I stood waiting. The chanting stopped and Carrie was still screaming. What was happening in there? Then the bang. Sounds like a light went out. Miss Desjardin came walking out the door with Carrie, wearing her clothes but she was wet. Then I looked to Miss Desjardin and saw the blood on her shorts. "Carrie" she looked at me, her eyes bloodshot, her hands soaked in blood. Her and Miss Desjardin walked out of the changing room hall and down to the reception, I think. Chris came walking out of the changing room laughing, looking at her phone. It was exactly what I heard a few minutes ago. "Carrie White turned red haha!!" Chris laughed to her friends. Her friend, turned and said "Chris, it was probably her first period, do you rea-" "Did I ask for your input, Sue?" So what I guess is, Carrie had her first period and didn't know what was happening? And she just stood and recorded it. What a bitch! I stormed out of the changing room area and walked to the cafeteria. I hope Carrie comes back soon.
This was only the beginning, soon something will happen to me, I will know Carrie far more than anyone else.
