The first-year classroom buzzed with energy as students settled in after the summer break. Lucky, a known extrovert but a secret head shave fetishist, lounged on the last bench. His eyes casually scanned the room, but his focus wasn’t on the professors or the subjects—it was on the subtle changes in the girls’ hairstyles.
Many had chopped off their long locks for the summer heat, sporting fresh, short haircuts. A few still tied their medium-length hair into ponytails, while a handful of girls retained their long braids. Lucky smirked internally. *Fresh year, fresh haircuts.*
In the bustling college canteen, Lucky sat with his best friend, Sai, sipping mango juice. While Sai blabbered about some campus gossip, Lucky was lost in his own world, scrolling through Instagram. No new posts from Sana. It had been a week since his celebrity crush, Sana—the famous Instagram model known for shaving her head for brand promotions—had uploaded anything. Lucky’s mind spiraled. *Is she okay? Did something happen? Or is she just growing it out?*
“Bro, are you even listening?” Sai waved a hand in front of him. “Huh? What?” Lucky snapped back to reality. Sai squinted. “Don’t tell me you’re worrying about that Insta model again.” “Obviously, man! A week without her head shave videos is like—” Lucky paused. “Like a canteen samosa without chutney!”
Sai snorted. “Dude, you need help.” Lucky grinned. “I don’t need help. In fact, let me show you something.” He pulled up his anonymous Instagram page, one of the biggest head shave meme accounts online.
Sai’s eyes widened as he scrolled. “YOU run this page?! Bro, this is famous! You have like—what? Two lakh followers?!” Lucky smirked. “Told you I was special.” Just then, a notification popped up. Sana had DMed him. His heart nearly stopped. His hands trembled slightly as he opened the message.
Sana: Hey, can we meet up at 8 tomorrow near fascino hotel.
Lucky’s mind raced. “Oh god. Its really happenign…. with excitement he typed.
Lucky : yes… offcourse.
Late at night, Lucky lay on his bed, scrolling through his phone, eyes fixed on Sana’s profile. Vidya, just back from work, peeked into his room. Seeing him glued to his screen, she shook her head and walked in.
Vidya: “Oye, Mr. Scroller, still lost in Sana’s world?”
Lucky: “Shhh… Manifesting a DM from her.”
Vidya: “Haan haan, keep dreaming. Maybe she’ll invite you for tea next.”
Lucky: “Not tea… but she did invite me to a hotel tomorrow.”
Vidya: “Wait, what?! Sana? Hotel? Tomorrow?”
Lucky: “Yes, she asked to meet! But not like that—she just wants to discuss something.”
Vidya: “I swear, if you faint tomorrow, I’ll personally come and slap you awake.”
Lucky: “Arrey, don’t curse my golden opportunity!”
The dinner night, Lucky stood outside, waiting for a bus. His parents were out of town, so there was no rush to get home. The sky rumbled before a light drizzle turned into heavy rain. Running for shelter, he spotted a biker and quickly asked for a ride. The biker, dressed in full black gear and a helmet, gestured for him to hop on.
They rode through the rainy streets until they reached a luxurious flat. “Come inside until the rain stops,” the biker suggested, voice slightly muffled. Lucky hesitated but followed. As the biker removed the helmet, his breath hitched. It was Sana.His heart exploded. His celebrity crush. Right in front of him. “Wha—how—” Lucky stammered, his voice cracking.
Sana raised an eyebrow. “You okay?” “You’re… you’re Sana!” he blurted out like a fanboy. Sana chuckled. “Yeah, last I checked.” Lucky’s emotions flooded in. “I—I’m a huge fan. I watch all your videos. Can I—can I get an autograph?”
She smirked. “I’ll give you one later. But first, you were saying something about ‘luck working’? Care to explain?” Taking a deep breath, Lucky confessed. “I was the person you were supposed to meet today. And somehow, here we are.” Sana’s eyes widened. “Wait. YOU’RE the page admin?”
Lucky scratched his head. “Guilty as charged.” A pause. Then Sana laughed. “I can’t believe it! The guy behind all those hilarious head shave memes is a college kid ?” Lucky grinned. “Surprise?” Sana shook her head, secretly impressed. She had assumed the page admin was some middle-aged professional. But here stood a genuine, passionate fan.
As their conversation continued, Sana received a call. After hanging up, she said. “Lucky I have a shoot tomorrow. Need a fresh head shave.” She tossed the razor towards him. “Wanna do the honors?” Lucky froze. Time slowed down. His biggest fantasy… now a reality.
He took the razor with slightly shaky hands, but excitement overpowered his shyness. Sana’s buzzed hair was already short, making the shave smoother. As he glided the razor over her scalp, tiny hairs fell into his palm. The sound of the razor, the sensation, the smoothness—everything felt surreal.
Sana noticed his focus and smirked. “Enjoying yourself?” Lucky cleared his throat. “A little too much.” Fifteen minutes later, her head gleamed under the lights. Lucky admired his work, completely mesmerized. Sana rode through the empty streets, the cool night air brushed against her smooth, freshly shaved head. Under the streetlights, her bald scalp shined. Lucky’s heart race as he looked at it. The faint scent of her shampoo mixed with the lingering rain in the air. His fingers twitched, wanting to reach out and feel the smoothness again, but he controlled himself. As they neared his house, he took one last, long look at her shining head, a proud smile creeping onto his face as she dropped him home.
At home, Vidya noticed Lucky’s dazed expression. “Why do you look like a kid who just found a treasure chest?” Lucky hesitated before telling her everything. Vidya’s eyes widened before she burst into laughter. “You—out of all people—actually got to shave your crush’s head?!”
Lucky nodded, still in disbelief. Vidya ruffled his hair. “Bro, you’re literally the luckiest guy.” He smirked. “That’s why my name’s Lucky.”
The next day in college, Lucky and Sai sat in the canteen when a loud gasp interrupted them. Shreya, their casual friend, had her phone in front of her. “Omg, have you guys seen this? Some random guy shaving Sana’s head, and the video is fully viral!” Lucky and Sai exchanged glances, stifling their laughter. Shreya scrolled through the comments.
“This is crazy. I swear, if I got this much attention, I will shave my head too.” Sai nearly choked on his chai. Lucky bit his lip to stop himself from laughing. As Shreya continued ranting about social media attention, the two friends shared a knowing look and chuckled. As Lucky sat in the canteen, watching Shreya casually say she’d shave her head for attention, he and Sai exchanged a knowing glance. The viral video had changed everything his influence was stronger than ever. And now, another opportunity seemed to be right in front of him.
