Carrie gently knocked on the door to Carl's room, "It's me...may I come in?"
His voice was muffled by the closed door, "Sure."
"I heard about the prank. That's so high school..." she said.
"Well, I am in high school, so I guess that's the way I should act," Carl answered.
Carrie walked across the room and sat on the floor next to Carl, "What are you going to do?" The corners of Carl's mouth turned up just a bit. Normally the job of cheering him up fell to Daniel, Carrie's brother, but Daniel was away on a school trip. It was harder to talk to Carrie, although she was a lot more pleasing to look at.
"Nothing," he sighed.
"No plans for revenge?" Carrie asked. Carl was a nerd and an easy target for others. He was also her friend.
He sighed again, "You know what they say about revenge."
"It is a dish best served cold?" Carrie guessed.
Carl chuckled at Carrie's attempt to be a geek, "Only if you are Klingon. I was foolish to think I had a secret admirer. Looking back it was pretty obvious the whole thing was a setup. Nobody is going to be my valentine. "
He looked at Carrie. Her brother had been his best and only friend at his old school. She had tolerated him. There was no way she had any idea how he felt. They were quite different. Carrie was two years older and a beautiful young woman. She had always been popular and made friends easily. With her long fiery red hair and near perfect body, she had no shortage of admirers, secret or otherwise. In contrast, Carl had no one at the school he regarded as more than an acquaintance. Even the unpopular kids treated him poorly; hoping to elevate themselves from the bottom rung of the school's social ladder. The midyear transfer during his senior year had only made things worse.
In response, he had focused on his one useful gift, his intellect. He was taking several university courses by correspondence. Carl considered his actual classes nothing more than study hall. He begged his parents to let him finish high school early, but they had insisted he complete it for the social experience. He was very mindful to remain positive. There were too many stories about the distant but brilliant loner suddenly turning violent. Carl considered those incidents to be a tragic waste, and he had no intention of ending up like that. Someday he would have the resources to buy and sell the people that taunted him today. All he needed to do was sit and wait.
"So no wrath of Carl?" she asked. "No, . I was thinking the best revenge is living well. I'm planning on getting some good Karma out of this."
"That's the spirit," Carrie said cheerfully.
The worried about Carl. It had taken her years to finally get him to talk to her. He was her dorky kid brother's nerdy friend. Carl had practically lived at their house. He appeared cold and logical. Sometimes she thought he was an alien sent to spy on humanity. Over time Carrie discovered he was well intentioned and extremely smart. Without Carl's patient tutoring Carrie figured that she and almost every one of her fellow cheerleaders would have failed at least one subject. Carrie was amazed that as a sophomore Carl had mastered every bit of her senior homework. His condescending demeanor insured that all he received from the others was a polite "Thank you", but she was always nice to him.
Carrie gazed at him. He was tall, lanky and surprisingly flexible. He was sitting on the floor with his legs folded in what looked like yoga pose. Carl wasn't so much anti-social as he was an introvert. He simply did not see any value in interacting with others unless there was a direct reward. He would ask questions to further his knowledge, but he rarely just wanted to make small talk.
There was one other thing that Carrie knew about Carl that no one else did. He had a huge cock. It was something she had discovered by accident. She walked in to the living room one morning to discover Carl and her brother passed out after playing computer games all night. Carl was sleeping in his boxer shorts. His penis was hanging through the fly of his shorts.
She did not realize it until she started having sex and noticed that the guys she was with were noticeably smaller. Carl's flaccid penis was bigger than any erection she has seen in real life. Her brother's friend was hung like a porn star. And he wasn't just a shower; he was a grower as well. She had walked in on Carl and her brother when they were watching internet porn once and the bulge in Carl's pants was quite impressive. She thought she saw the tip of his erection protruding above the waist of his jeans. For several of her girl friends at college, Carl's size alone would more than make up for his lack of looks and personality. They were all about bagging the big ones. Just thinking about it made her wet, which in turn made her feel guilty.
"Let me help you," Carrie offered.
"How?"
"I will go to the dance with you. Nobody at your school knows me. If anyone asks, tell them you were getting messages from two admirers. You knew one was a prank, but the other was real," she explained.
"That's brilliant," Carl answered.
"So," Carrie said innocently, "will you be my valentine?" Carl's mind began to develop Carrie's idea. She was certainly attractive enough to make a lot of people jealous. As a bonus, she had a sharp tongue and would have no problem fending off suitors with snarky remarks. Carl had harbored a forbidden crush on his friend's sister since he had hit puberty. He had never acted on his desires, mostly because he was afraid of how everyone (especially Daniel) would react. Making a pass at his best friend's sister seemed to go against social norms or at least his limited understanding of social norms. This dance was the closest he thought he would ever be to getting physical with Carrie.
Even though she had attended a different school, the high school dance was exactly the way Carrie remembered it. Being with Carl gave her a slightly different perspective. She was not holding court at the popular table, listening to the other pretty students' gossip about anyone not in attendance. Instead she was with the 'less than desirables'. Every time she and Carl were on the dance floor, someone tried to cut in. She disposed of each guy that had the gall to approach her. One of them almost looked like he was going to cry. Carrie enjoyed using her waspish tongue to dish out some revenge for Carl. His smile grew after each encounter.
The more she talked to Carl, the more Carrie enjoyed his company. She had always figured that Carl and her brother spent all their time making snarky remarks about the popular crowd, playing video games and downloading porn. She was surprised to learn the two young men were active in charities and were actually interested in women. They just felt like there was no way out of the geek caste. Carrie realized that Carl could carry on a conversation on a topic other than science fiction or fantasy games.
She had to admit that Carl actually cleaned up quite nicely. His suit was well fitted. The one thing about him that did not fit the nerd stereotype was his complete lack of acne. His nutmeg brown hair looked presentable once she convinced him to wash and comb it. He still had a bit of the Ichabod Crane look, but she was willing to look past that. Most important of all, he really seemed to be enjoying the dance.
Carl felt a presence behind him. A voice boomed over the DJ's music, "Mind if I dance with your date"?
"He might not mind, but his date does," Carrie replied, giving the interloper her best go to hell look.
"You might not know it, but I am kind of a big deal round here," the intruder continued, ignoring Carrie's icy glare.
"You don't look too big to me," she replied, staring directly at his crotch, "I think I'll dance with the one who brought me."
Carrie grabbed Carl by the wrist and dragged him out to the dance floor. "Yeah" by Usher was just ending. Carrie remembered the same song being played at her 8th grade dance seven years ago. The next song was a slow dance. Carried pulled Carl close against her body.
"Who was that jack hole?" she asked.
"Captain of the football team," Carl replied.
"Want me to make him cry?"
"No, I can take care of him," Carl answered.
Much to her surprise Carl could actually dance. Carrie knew he had an amazing ability to learn new things, but she thought it was limited to academic pursuits. Apparently he was able to learn physical skills just as quickly. She suddenly recalled seeing a book on tantric sex in his room. An extremely naughty thought popped into her head. She tried to push it out but could not. Carrie felt her face turn red as her nipples started to get hard and pressed against her brother's best friend. The song ended and much to her relief Carl led her back to their table.
"Dare I ask what you are going to do to my new least favorite person?" Carrie asked, trying to put something other than carnal thoughts of Carl into her brain.
