Thomas "Tommy" Everett Ross is one of the stars of the school's baseball team and the boyfriend of Sue, and their relationship has recently become more intimate.

Rita L. Desjardin is the gym teacher at the high school, who feels a mix of pity and annoyance at Carrie for her social awkwardness. After Carrie is humiliated in the showers, Rita is quick to punish those responsible with a week's detention, with her, after school, with failure to show up leading to one being barred from the prom.
Line 129 ⟶ 133:
* [[Adaptational Heroism]]: In the book, she, at best, pities Carrie and finds her social awkwardness annoying. In all the movies, she genuinely does care for Carrie.
** In 2002, she saves some students by using a vent and even yells to get off floor when she senses the wet floor could be electrified.
* [[Adaptational Badass]]: [[Death by Adaptation|She dies]] in the '76 version and is spared by Carrie in the 2013 version. In the '02 remake, she helps some students escape, she holds on for dear life and we see her later in the present, so she must have pulled herself into the vents.
* [[Air Vent Passageway]]: She and some students use this in the '02 version to escape the burning gym.
* [[The Atoner]]: In the book, this is why she retires from teaching after the prom.

Feeling that Carrie is responsible for her misfortune, she sets out to get revenge on her after finding that she is going to the prom with Tommy, enlisting her [[Girl Posse]], her boyfriend Billy, and his friends in the plan.
* [[Adaptation Dye Job]]: She was a brunette in the book, but blonde in both film adaptations. Then a brunette again in the 2013 remake.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: To a sociopathic degree. Lampshaded in the parody ''Scarrie!'':

William "Billy" Nolan is Chris' boyfriend. He is one of the school's [[Delinquents]], and his characterization ranges from merely a [[Jerkass]] (in the 1976 film) to outright thuggish (in the book). He frequently hits Chris, and in the book he forces himself on her. He breaks into a local farm in order to kill the pigs and drain their blood into the buckets.
