They were in a club when they decided to do it.
“Hey. Did you see that?”
“Yes! He’s really cool!”
Rachel and Katie used to come here to spend their Saturday evenings. That night they saw a boy never seen before.
“I bet you can’t get him.”
“Do you really want to bet?”
“Why not?”
Rachel thought of an exemplary penance. Something that she could easily do to Katie but without getting out of the classic. Found.
“Okay then. If you can pick him up, I will shave my head bald!”
“Fine!”
“But if you can’t succeed, you will be the one who will have to shave completely!”
“Doesn’t it seem a little excessive to you?”
“What? Are you afraid?”
“Not at all!”
“Then let’s go to him and see what you can do!”
The two gave their hand and approached the boy who was dancing in the middle of the track.
“Hey!”
“Hey!”
“What is your name?”
“Lex!”
“What a beautiful name!”
“And what is yours?”
“Katie!”
“Yours is a nice name too!”
“Do you want to go and talk a little?”
“Why not? Ok!”
The two came out of the club and immediately behind them, Rachel’s careful gaze observed every slightest movement.
“What were you doing in such a place?”
“I blew off steam a little.”
“Me too!”
“…Wow… Ok… and what did you let off for?”
“Oh, well… I… umh…”
“You were there only to hook me, weren’t you?”
“No. See… the fact is that…”
“Uff. Another one who tries to take me in bed with her. I hate false people. Goodbye.”
“NO, WAIT!”
The boy quickly moved away from Katie. She turned to Rachel and she imitated the gesture of a scissor with her hands. She knew what was waiting for her.
“Damn it! This is not what I need!”
“So … I seem to have understood that he just ditch you, right?”
Katie did not answer. She was sitting with her arms resting on her knees.
“So it means I won! Come with me!”
Katie followed Rachel at her place. She made her sit in the living room and told her to wait.
“Make yourself comfortable. Meanwhile, I prepare everything.”
She took a chair and put it in the bathroom. From her bedroom’s closet she pulled out a clean sheet and placed it on the chair. Then she opened the mirror cabinet in the bathroom and pulled her disposable razors with the shaving foam she had bought in order to not spend too much on the depilatory cream. And finally, from under the sink, she took the clippers she had bought for emergencies.
“C’mon, Cinderella! The carriage awaits you!”
The sofa emptied its guest as she was heading to the bathroom where she would pay for her defeat.
Everything was ready. Only the blades on Katie’s head were missing and the game was done.
“So … would you repeat me what we had bet in the club?”
“Uff … If I had managed to get that boy, you would have completely shaved your head.”
“AND…?”
“And if I had not succeeded instead, I would have had to shave my hair.”
“Have you managed to hook him up?”
What a jerk she was.
“No.”
“So this means…”
“That I will be shaving my hair.”
“Bingo!”
With one hand she took the electric razor and lit it. She put it in front of her friend’s eyes.
“Do you want to do it?”
Katie took the clippers in her hand and looked at it. The vibrations that emanated gave a strange feeling to the girl. She looked in the mirror. She approached it on the forehead. She approached it too much.
Zac.
An immense quantity of bangs fell on Katie’s lap. Now there was an enormous streaming near the forehead and even more up. She remained impressed to see how much hair she had just shaved.
“I can not make it!”
“Very good.”
Rachel took away the clippers off her friend’s hands. She positioned herself behind and repositioned the blades where the cut had just been made. She pushed the tool to herself strongly, leaving a long bald strip. Katie’s hair did not exceed their shoulders. They were a kind of bob long just below the chin and very disheveled. So it was very well noted that Rachel had put the girl’s hair in her own way. It was impressive at her eyes. A moment before there is all your life, and immediately after a girl with a razor in her hand takes everything away.
“I almost make you go around like this!”
“At least you finish, right?”
“Just kidding!”
A pass equal to that of before had opened a further breach on Katie’s head. Another one hundred followed each other, until the work is completed.
“The most is done.”
“What do you mean ‘the most’?”
“Won’t you think that we have already over? You still have too many hair for my taste.”
“I’ll make you pay sooner or later, know it.”
“Yes yes, but until then…”
Katie’s head was all steeped in foam before finishing the sentence. A blade was between the index and the thumb of Rachel.
“Say ‘Bye Bye’ to your hair!”
Rachel began from the right ear and brought the blade flowed to the left one. Thus continued all over the head. To complete everything, the blades also passed vertically, so as to secure at least a slight against the grain.
“But how cute we are!”
“Please, laugh now you can. On the first occasion I will repay you with the same coin!”
“I can’t wait!”
After her penance, Katie returned home as if nothing had happened, sure that sooner or later her own treatment, would be Rachel’s turn.
The next day, everything was like before, except for one thing. Katie’s impatience to try her new look.
