Christine Hargensen

Chris was the beautiful and popular leader of a well-known clique at Ewen High School called the Mortimer Snerds. Apparently, she had a long history of bullying unpopular or outcast fellow classmates — especially Carrie White — and has been sent to detention 73 times in four years. Chris had also been known to slip a firecracker in the shoe of a girl with a harelip and blew her front two toes off. Also, this version of the character was more vulgar than the one from the movie. Here is a small example: halfway through the book, Chris called Mr. Grayle a "cocksucker," and stood up to Miss Desjardin before getting slammed into a group of lockers. As a result, she was banned from the prom.

Later, after setting the prom night debacle into motion, Chris and Billy attempted to make love inside of a roadhouse until they were interrupted by a fellow classmate, Jackie Talbot, who warned them that their school and their town were burning to the ground.

Some time afterward, just as Carrie arrived in the roadhouse's parking lot, Chris and Billy hurried to Billy's car, started it up and made their way towards the bloodied and weakened Carrie, thinking that they were going to run her over and put the finishing touch on their plans. Being telekinetic, Carrie took control of the car with her mind and sent it and its passengers into the roadhouse. The car exploded and set the building on fire, killing Chris and Billy.
