Chapter 78

And the person arguing with Carrie was Tommy, Su Si's boyfriend.

Under his girlfriend's orders, Tommy was on a mission to chase after Carrie today.

Since this morning, Tommy had been continuously trying to win Carrie over, looking for ways to get closer to her, such as deliberately sitting at the same table during meals and loudly stopping others when they whispered about Carrie, hoping to showcase his own performance to her.

The closer he got, the more Tommy realized that Carrie wasn't bad-looking; at least she was no worse than his girlfriend Su Si.

She had a fresh and unique aura, and there was even a hint of a fragrance about her.

Unfortunately, Carrie only showed fear towards his advances, like a frightened rabbit, running away in panic whenever he got close.

But this only made Tommy more interested.

At school, all the girls fell for him! Even if it was someone as popular as Chris, if Tommy wanted, he could easily leave her a love letter and invite her to the school alley, and Chris would definitely come running.

So before school ended, he arrogantly announced to everyone that from now on, Carrie was under his protection, and anyone who wanted to bully Carrie would have to deal with him. This even caught the attention of the teachers.

Chris was green with envy but dared not directly rebut him, as without her boyfriend Billy around, it was hard to compete with Tommy and Su Si.

Su Si was excited, especially seeing Chris helpless. She was so thrilled that she almost couldn't help but reward Tommy on the spot.

But no one considered Carrie's feelings. She was the person involved, so her opinion was irrelevant. No one thought about what would happen if her parents found out.

Everyone just thought, wow, Tommy is so manly; Carrie is indeed lucky.

The news of what happened at school was relayed to Randy by Chris.

"Tommy is really despicable; he just loves to cause trouble! Only by getting rid of him will Carrie be truly isolated and helpless!"

Randy was still in the forest with Pennywise.

After receiving the news, he rushed home and saw the scene in the woods.

Tommy was like a little gangster, harassing Carrie in front of her house.

"I've been waiting for you to change your mind. Be my dance partner; it's an honor for you."

Carrie was panicked: "Why are you doing this?"

Tommy found it amusing: "Why need a reason to invite you?"

"I don't want to attend the dance!"

"Why refuse me? The graduation dance is organized by the school; everyone must attend!"

Tommy couldn't help but mock her, feeling embarrassed: "Fine, I'll wait for your mother to come home, and then I'll personally invite her."

"No!"

Carrie was terrified; the sun was setting, and Margaret could come home at any moment.

"Please leave."

Carrie shook her head frantically. If Tommy dared to ask Margaret, whether Carrie was at fault or not, she would end up in the confessional for punishment. To Margaret, if Carrie attracted a man's attention, it must mean she had been flirting at school.

"Are you joking? This is the roadside, not your home. What's the problem with me waiting here?"

Tommy leaned nonchalantly against his car: "Carrie, promise me. If not, I won't leave. You should know that many women at school want to be my dance partner, but none have the opportunity."

As he said this, he moved to grab Carrie, but just as he reached out, the sky suddenly rumbled with thunder, as if a storm was brewing, and even the sky darkened considerably.

"Damn, is it going to rain? I'm driving a convertible."

Tommy checked his watch.

"When does your mother get off work? It should be around this time, right?"

Carrie still shook her head: "Please, can we talk about this another day?"

"You really are making things boring."

Tommy had been rebutted several times and was now somewhat annoyed. But seeing the changing weather, he also worried about getting drenched.

"Tomorrow at school, I hope to hear you say: yes, Carrie, I'm inviting you in front of everyone. Don't make me look bad."

After speaking, Tommy got into his car and glanced at Carrie before driving away.

Carrie stood at the door for a while before quickly heading inside.

"Her fear is quite enticing, isn't it?"

Pennywise's dry voice sounded.

Randy coldly replied: "You better not entertain any ill thoughts about her."

The thunder in the sky wasn't caused by him. Though Randy could summon storms with preparation, he couldn't change the weather in an instant.

That was Carrie's doing!

Carrie's development wasn't enough yet!

"Heh heh, I've learned my lesson once."

Being crushed in an instant made even the ever-friendly Pennywise resort to feeding on children for energy.

"Speaking of which, she's still your senior."

In the afternoon, Randy had set new rules for Pennywise, and now Pennywise wore faith-seed accessories, similar to Carrie.

So now he was also a major protector.

Initially, Randy had considered getting rid of Pennywise, but now keeping it had benefits. Pennywise had connections and could continuously bring fresh materials, better than Randy searching for evil spirits on his own.

Its abilities could also be acquired through the faith seeds, and as more seeds sprouted, Pennywise would be subtly tamed.

"Pennywise, now that your senior has been troubled, what will you do?"

Randy looked at the clown: "Shouldn't you help your senior get some revenge?"

Pennywise showed a wise look: "How should I get revenge?"

"For example, kill him, but make sure to handle everything cleanly and frame Mr. Vortex."

"Hiss…"

Pennywise found the framing method familiar: "Understood, I'll take care of it now."

The next moment, he exploded like a balloon, leaving only a balloon's remains.

"Always so reckless."

Randy cleaned up the evidence on the ground and went home. He had barely sat down when urgent braking sounds came from the roadside.

Margaret had arrived. From the sound of the door slamming, her mood seemed quite dark.

An interesting scene was about to unfold.

Randy expanded his senses, instantly covering the neighboring area and observing Margaret's expression.

Her face was almost expressionless, but this was the calm before the storm.

"Carrie. Carrie!"

Margaret almost gritted her teeth as she said the name.

When she opened the door, Carrie was nervously preparing dinner.

"Mom."

"What did you do at school? The teachers have already contacted me!"

Margaret suddenly stormed forward and slapped Carrie hard across the face.

"You're seducing men! You're utterly sinful, a harlot."

"No! It's not my fault, Mom!"
