Carrie and Carolyn [ON HOLD]

Chapter 5

Carolyn's POV:
It has been a little more than a month since the school year started. The awkwardness between me and Carrie had since lifted, and we continue to hang out with each other. I learned a few more things about Carrie since then; like that most of the clothes she wears everyday are sewn by herself or her mother, she can cook, and she enjoys gardening. Around me she always seems cheerful and confident, but around others, she is about as shy and insecure as ever.

Speaking of which, due to my friendship with Carrie, the bullying has only gotten worse. She and I get targeted by Chris Hargensen and her cronies just about every single day both physically and mentally. Most of everyone else just ignore us. Some days we consider skipping school, hiding at my house, and watching movies all day. Of course, we never did, neither one of our parents would like that. That's not to say that nothing was ever done, after the towel popping incident with the boys, I told Miss Desjardin about it and got my schedule reworked.

As a consequence, not only was I placed in a new gym class, but also in a new English class, Carrie was in my new class, so that was a plus. The week after the incident, Miss Desjardin ran my former gym class into the ground during detention, Billy was in for an even bigger punishment though, due to past offenses he committed, not only did he get detention, but he also got cut from the baseball team for the rest of the year.

Tommy never apologized for what happened in the incident, but every time I looked in his direction in the hallway, I would glare at him causing him to always look away, so I guess he feels somewhat guilty about the whole thing.

Then there is Carrie. She never hesitates to talk to me about her problems. Because of that, she has been eating less and less sweets. Miss Desjardin has also been giving her special attention in gym class, and has been giving her nutritional advice to help her lose weight. I don't know how much weight she has already lost, but her clothes are looking less tight now.

But like I said before, the bullying has only gotten worse. Chris and her friends just won't leave us alone, they keep making fun of her weight and religion; and their childish pranks have only become more common for both of us. And I was able to use my telekinesis to push the prank back.

The whole thing is really starting to annoy me. I've tried talking to Principal Norton about the whole damn thing, to try and get something done. But every single time, her father comes to her rescue and threatens to sue the school if charges aren't dropped. Currently school has ended for the day and I'm by myself in the library finishing up some homework, Carrie has already gone home, but guess who is here...

"Well, well, well, if it isn't the lone ranger herself. Shouldn't you be back on the range killing Indians and screwing cows?" asked Chris mockingly.

"What the hell do you want Chris?" "I want you to stop wasting my daddy's time you dumb inbred tattle-tale." She said.

"Oh yeah? Well once you and you're gang of sluts leave me and Carrie alone, then maybe I'll think about it." I said sarcastically before glaring at her.

"Why do you stick up for that bitch?! Not only is she fat and ugly but she goes around saying that everyone but she and her mother are going to hell! You may not know it, but she has been begging for this since first grade!" she said angrily.

"Okay first of all, she has never said anything like that in all the time I've known her! Second of all, nobody deserves this much harassment! And fianlly, she is not the ugly one Christine, you are! You're an ugly, racist, spoiled, paranoid, manipulative whore who thinks she's a princess who gets anything she wants!"
