Lisa, about to jump to her death.

Years later, Rachel is now a teenager. She is living with neglectful foster parents, Boyd and Emilyn, and her dog, Walter. Rachel and her best friend, Lisa Parker, go to Bates High School. Bates has been rebuilt after being destroyed during The Black Prom. Rachel and Lisa talk about how Lisa has recently lost her virginity to Eric Stark, who is on the football team. It is revealed that the football team have a game where they sleep with girls to gain points, meaning Eric never cared about Lisa, and only used her to gain points in this game. After being rejected by Eric, Lisa commits suicide, jumping off the roof of the school.

Upon finding out about Lisa's suicide, Rachel's strong emotions reignites her dormant telekinesis. While Rachel is outside of Bates, lockers open and bathroom stall doors close inside, a result of Rachel's newly-rediscovered telekinetic abilities. Rachel goes to Sue Snell, now Bates High School's guidance counselor, for support after Lisa's death. Meanwhile, Sheriff Kelton is investigating Lisa's suicide, and finds evidence of the "game" the football team plays. He also discovers that when they slept together, Lisa was sixteen while Eric was eighteen. Rachel finds a photograph of Lisa and Eric making out, and gives it to Sheriff Kelton for evidence. With this newfound evidence of Lisa and Eric's relationship, Sheriff Kelton looks into charging Eric with statutory rape.

Eric is suspended from school due to his potential rape charges. Eric and another member of the football team, Mark Bing, learn that Rachel is the person who submitted the photograph of Eric and Lisa for evidence. They try to intimidate Rachel into not testifying against him, but she uses her telekinesis to throw them off and escape when her foster parents arrive. Walter, Rachel's dog, is hit by a car and she flags down Jesse Ryan, a member of the football team, for help. They take Walter to an animal hospital, and then go out for coffee to get to know each other better.

Sue and Rachel

Sue telling Rachel about The Black Prom.

Sue meets with Rachel, and, upon finding out about Rachel's telekinesis, takes her to the site of the old Bates High School. There, Sue tells her about Carrie White, and the events of the prom night where she was the victim of a malicious prank. Sue tries to tell her that she and Carrie are half-sisters, sharing the same father, Ralph White. In Carrie (1976), it is mentioned that Ralph ran away from his pregnant wife, Margaret White, with another woman. Rachel refuses to accept the truth about her biological family, and runs away from Sue. Later, Rachel runs into to Jesse, who tries to get Rachel to go on a date with him. Rachel refuses until he convinces her that he didn't know anything about the "game" the rest of the football team plays, and was not involved with it. Seeing Rachel and Jesse spend time together angers Tracy Campbell, head cheerleader and Jesse's ex-girlfriend.

The Senior D.A. of Chamberlain covers up Eric's statutory rape charges, and the football team's "game", due to the political influence of the team members' families. Eric, Mark, and some of the other members of the football team decide to humiliate Rachel as revenge for submitting the photo of Eric and Lisa in for evidence. They get help from Tracy and the rest of the cheerleaders. Tracy hopes that if she humiliates Rachel, Jesse will dump her and get back together with Tracy.
