The Start of Something New


In a slight return to my Start of Something New series, rather than following Katie and Evan, this story will instead follow her little sister Kelly who gleefully had her head shaved in the last installment. There also might be a teaser for what’s going on with Katie and Evan! If you enjoy this be sure to let me know and be sure to check out my other series, Austin’s Razor and The Barbershop Assistant, as well as my stand-alone stories on my old account!

The First Day

My summer had been one for the history books. Starting off with a shiny head was part of it, thanks to my big sister Katie and her ridiculously hot hair stylist boyfriend. Then came a long summer of parties, hanging out with friends who I would soon be leaving behind to head off to a college in Colorado, far from everybody I’ve ever known.

It really could not have gone better. Sure, everybody was initially shocked by my bald head. Some shallow bitches from my old cheer team made fun of me and wanted nothing to do with me but that was stupid high school shit, I didn’t need them or their snide comments. The real friends thought it was awesome. They all wanted to touch my head and even wanted to help out on my weekly shaves when I coated my fuzzy head with shaving cream and took the week’s worth of growth down to the skin with the same razor I used to shave my legs.

It flew by, especially considering I had planned on setting off to school a couple weeks early for a pre-term mini semester. Before I knew it, it was time for me to pack up and leave. My parents, who had finally come to accept my bald head after a few weeks of seeing my giddy friends shaving it for me, even made the long drive with me to drop me off.

”I can’t believe our little girl is about to start her first semester at college! You’re going to have so much fun!” my mom said, nearly squealing.

”Not too much fun, though. Right?” my dad said with a well-meaning wink.

”Sure, dad,” I said, rolling my eyes as he pulled me in for a hug. He rubbed my head, it being the day I normally shaved my head and my hair being his favorite length to rub.

”Hey, your hair is pretty long, I figured you’d want to have a clean shave for your first day at college?” Dad asked.

”I’ll shave tonight after you guys move in. I’ll need a shower after all of this unpacking anyway,” I said, self-consciously rubbing my own long hair.

It was funny that we both considered a week’s worth of growth from bald to be long hair, especially with how long all of the women in my family used to our their hair. But now, I’m bald, my mom has a cute bob with bangs, and my big sister Katie, back from her summer in the Caribbean, had a pixie cut after also experiencing life as a bald girl.

”Yeah, I thought the mountains were supposed to be cold?” Mom complained, fanning her face, her bangs damp with sweat.

“It’s not so bad when you don’t have all that hair, mom. When are you going to shave your head like me?” I asked, teasing my mom and dad the way I had all summer.

”Never,” my dad answered for her. My mom nodded and raised an eyebrow at me in agreement.

I laughed and we all worked to finish setting up my dorm room. My roommate hadn’t arrived yet but I knew what she was bringing. We had been given each other’s cell numbers by the school and had texted to coordinate move in day. She was also doing the mini semester but hadn’t made it yet. Her parents weren’t bringing her so she was probably doing what I would have done, wait until the last minute. So we’d set up my half of the room, go to dinner and from there, I’d be on my own. At least until Thanksgiving.

It didn’t take us long, the room was small and the only hair care items I had brought was my clippers, razors, and a good supply of shaving cream. Evan had hooked me up with the best gear and I was ready to do some self barbering in my tiny room. Hopefully I wouldn’t even need the clippers but I brought them just in case I ran a little long between shaves.

Dinner was fun and when it was over, there were plenty of hugs, head rubs, and tears from all around. By the time I was in my car, my makeup was ruined and my eyes were red and puffy. That, combined with being covered in dust and sweat meant she needed a shower bad. Fortunately the dorms were empty aside from the RA and a couple other girls doing mini semesters.

Dorm Life

The communal showers in the dorm were empty which meant I got to take my time. Not that I had much to do in the shower. One can only spend so much time washing their body and I now washed my head the same way I washed everything else. I thought maybe after I shaved that I would do one of my skincare masks that I always ended up putting all over my scalp as well.

Walking back to my room, wrapped in my towel carrying my shower caddy, I didn’t pass anyone. The few people I had seen had all given me a strange first glance at seeing my mostly bald head but nobody said anything. Maybe they liked it or maybe they were just too polite to say something. At least not to my face.

In my room, I discovered that my mysterious roommate had brought her belongings in. The bed was made but most of her things were still in boxes. She was nowhere to be seen so I figured I had better shave while I could, just in case she needed help. Shaves are better fresh out of the shower anyway.

I stood in front of the sink and vanity that each dorm was equipment, running the water until it heated up. My shaving routine involved re-wetting my head. Then I would apply a coat of shaving cream and shave once with the grain. I would then put on a new coat and shave against the grain. That’s what Evan had told me to do and so that’s what I always did.

Once my head was wet, I lathered some foamy white shaving cream on my stubbly head. Just as I was picking up the razor to start, my phone buzzed and lit up. It was a text from Katie.

Katie: ”Hey college girl, how was move in day?”

Me: “It was sweaty and had lots of crying from mom and dad. Mostly dad ????”

Katie: “Yeah, that’s how mine went ???????? what are you up to now?”

Me: *with a selfie of me smiling with my eyes squinted shut* “I’m getting ready to shave after a shower! My hair is sooooo long ????????”

Katie: *with a selfie that I couldn’t believe, even after everything she had told me about her hair* “That’s funny, I just cut mine too ????”

Me: “Omg you didn’t!”

Katie: “Omg I definitely did! Well enjoy your shave and the rest of your night, I just wanted to check in on my baby sister!”

Me: “You’re crazy but I love you!”

Katie only replied with a heart to my last text but I was thoroughly shook. Here I was, shaving my head with a razor and somehow my big sister’s hairstyle shocked me. I remembered her making a comment about having her hair like this before but it was hard to believe until now. Clearly she had come about as far as I had.

Shock wearing off, I began to shave my head. By this point, I had gotten pretty quick at shaving, my razor working quickly through the hair as I shaved with the grain. I always started on the back because that was the most difficult part and I wanted it done before my arms started to get tired. Pulling down my nape with my chin to my chest, I made quick work of the soft stubble.

Then I worked on the sides of my head, first the left, then the right. Down and around my ears is always the hardest part and is probably the only reason I didn’t shave every day. I love the way the smooth head feels but I definitely haven’t ever had the time to shave daily. But, folding each ear down to get close and not leave any hairs, I shaved around them.

The last part, which is my favorite part, is the crown of my head. Quick and easy, I could render the mousy brown stubble (like Katie and my mom, I had been bleaching my hair blonde for years before I shaved it off) down to nothing with just a few passes. It was always so easy that I saved it for last. At least on the first pass with the razor. That was done in no time and just like that, the first shave was done.

My head was mostly devoid of hair, but like always, it needed another pass, this time against the grain. That way I could have the shiny, slick, smoothness that I love. I wiped my head down with a hot, damp rag, and applied a new coat of shaving cream.

I started my second shave by pulling upward on the left side of my head, where my sideburn would be if I had any hair. The razor glided through the last scratchy traces of hair. As I began my second pass, I heard the doorknob turning. But, I remembered I locked the door, a habit I had formed after 18 years of living with my parents.

”Seriously?” I heard from outside the door as I hurried to open it.

”I’m so sorry! I wasn’t even thinking!” I said as I pulled the door open.

“That’s okay, I totally get i-,” the girl on the other side of the door, who must of been my roommate Hallie who I was now meeting in person for the first time, started to say before she paused.

Her mouth was in a questioning “oh” shape and she furrowed her brow. Her hair was long, hanging down to bra strap, and was chocolate brown. The most impressive thing was her curls. They were tight and bouncy, probably something she either loved or hated. She was tanned from the summer like I was and had the fit body of a high school athlete.

She continued to stare and suddenly I grew self conscious. I realized I was still in my towel. Maybe she was weird about being naked around each other. That would be a little inconvenient but nothing I couldn’t get over. Held my hand that wasn’t holding the razor over my towel covered body.

”Oh my god, I’m sorry, I just got done showering. I was just about to get dressed!” I explained hurriedly.

She shook her head, “What? I don’t care about that? What are you doing?”

Pointing at my shaving cream covered head, she made the source of her confusion known. I laughed it off as I had with so many other times over the summer. Nobody ever expected a bald girl and neither one of us had previously known what the other looked like.

I held up the razor that was still in my hand, “Oh, I’m just shaving!”

”Shaving your head? Is this normal for you?” she asked.

”Yep, I do this once a week! Maybe sometimes more, most of the time a little less if I’m being lazy,” I explained.

”Okay, I want to help,” she said, pushing past me with a smile on her face.

”I’m Kelly by the way,” I said with a giggle.

”Nice to finally meet you, I’m Hallie. Now give me the razor, I want to shave it for you,” she said, holding a hand out, open palm pointed upward.

I laughed but held the razor close to myself, “Not so fast, have you ever shaved a head before? It’s not the same as shaving your legs or under your arms.”

”Of course, I live with my dad. Or I guess I did until today. But anyway, he’s bald so I used to shave it for him. I guess he’ll have to do it himself now, but now I can do it for you!” she said, stepping close to me and snatching the razor from my hand.

She took one of the wooden desk chairs and put it in the middle of the white tile floored room. “Now sit. As long as you’re my roommate, you won’t have to shave your own head.”

I shrugged my shoulders and sat down, “If you insist. I just went with the grain so now I’m going against the grain, do you know how to do that?”

”Of course I do. Up on the back and sides, back on the top. So how long have you been doing this?” Hallie set the razor down on the desk and pulled her luscious curls back into a thick, high ponytail.

”All summer. I shaved it right before graduation and have been doing this once a week,” I reached over and grabbed my phone off the desk.

”I can tell, your head is so tan! My head would be so pale,” she said with a laugh.

”This is what I used to look like,” I said, showing her a picture of me from the week before I shaved my head. It was weird seeing myself with long hair. Maybe I’d grow it back out one day but so far the reception I’d received at college had only made me want to stay bald.

”Weird! You look like a different person. Probably like somebody I wouldn’t have been friends with in high school. You must have been too cool for a girl like me,” she said, shaving up my nape. I could tell she had done this before, her hands were steady and gentle.

“I looked like somebody I wouldn’t have been friends with in high school. I did cheer but mostly because my big sister did it. She still does cheer at her college actually,” I said.

This was shaping up to be my most relaxing shave experience I’d ever had. When Evan shaved it for me was just as good but I was so nervous back then. She finished my nape quickly and turned my head so she could finish my left side that I had only just begun when she arrived.

”Ah yeah, you would have been too cool for a farm girl like me. I’m guessing this bald head was an attempt to reinvent yourself?” Hallie asked as she folded my ear down and shaved around it, this time pulling the razor upward.

“For sure. And I’m not too cool for a farm girl like you. That explains the tan, what else were you in to in high school?” I asked.

”I played volleyball. Dad always thought it was a waste of time, especially considering the season was during harvest but he never got in my way. He tried to come to as many games as he could too,” Hallie said, tilting my head to the left and beginning to shave the right side of my head. Her hands were so confident, it was clear that she was experienced. Way better than my high school friends had been.

“That’s cool. You know, you’re better than anybody else that has done this. Except my sister’s boyfriend and he’s a hair stylist,” I said.

”Thanks, my dad always thought so. I’m pretty jealous, you have no hair and I have this huge curly mess to deal with,” Hallie said, tossing her ponytail over her shoulder in annoyance.

”I mean, you don’t have to,” I said, turning around to look at her after she finished a stroke with my razor.

”Absolutely not,” she said, stepping back.

”What? You’ve shaved someone’s head probably hundreds of times and you’ve never thought about shaving yours?” I asked.

”Thought about it? Yes. But that’s different than actually doing it! Do you know how long it takes for curly hair to grow this long? My mom cut it into a bob once, back when my parents were still married, and I looked like a poodle. And it took two years to get back to this length,” she said, turned my face forward and finishing up my right side.

She began the final stage of my shave, shaving my crown. She pulled back again and again, following the curves of my skull with the razor.

”Well, if your head was shaved, no poodle hair. And my sister’s boyfriend is a hair stylist, I’m sure he can help come up with some ways to keep things less poofy during the grow out,” I said as she continued to make passes over my head.

”Okay, that’s true. But what would people say?” Hallie asked, her hands moving quickly over my head. She seemed nervous for the first time.

“I mean, I’ve been bald for a summer and nobody has said anything to me. Besides, has anybody here even seen you yet?” I asked.

”Well, no. But-,” Hallie began, her nerves making her voice almost start to shake.

”But nothing! That means that it’ll be just like me, nobody will know what your hair used to be like. Come on, let me shave your head!” I said.

”Maybe. But you can’t shave anybody else’s head until you’re finished,” Hallie said firmly.

I leaned forward in my seat so I could see myself in the vanity mirror on the wall. Most of the shaving cream was gone from my head, just small traces left behind in the process.

”Hallie, I think you’re done with me,” I said.

”Almost but not quite, I just have to make sure I didn’t miss anything. You want it smooth right?” Hallie asked, beginning to glide her hands across my smooth head.

”Of course I do. No better feeling in the world,” I said gleefully.

”I bet,” Hallie said, finding the occasional prickly patch and running the razor over the hairy patch of skin.

”You’re about to find out,” I said, teasing her.

”I mean I hate my hair. Really hate it. But shaving it?” she said.

”You want to know something crazy? My sister has shaved her head too,” I said, trying to come up with more reasons for my new roommate to join me in bald-hood.

”The college cheerleader? Shaved her head? Was it some kind of charity thing?” Hallie asked.

”I mean yes it was for a fundraiser for the cheer squad, but she told me she had a pretty extreme look before that. Here, look at what she just did today,” I said, pulling up the picture from the text that Katie had sent me moments before Hallie arrived.

“Holy shit, she’s a college cheerleader?” Hallie asked in shock at the sight.

”See? So if she can do that, you can shave your head,” I said.

Hallie considered it for a moment, shaving a couple more rough patches.

“Fine. You’re all done anyway. Just do it before I change my mind,” Hallie said, pushing me out of my seat.

”Okay, take your shirt off. And let me put one on,” I said, pulling my towel off to dry my head.

”What are you into girls? I mean that’s fine and all but I’m not,” Hallie said, quickly averting her eyes from my naked body.

I grabbed an overly large gray t-shirt and pulled it on. It covered every part of me that Hallie would have considered inappropriate. The neck was big and it hung off of one shoulder. I had worn the shirt for years, one of my dad’s old USMC shirts, and it was well worn. I pulled on a pair of pink underwear underneath.

”I’m not either. See, I have clothes on now. You need to take your shirt off so we don’t get a bunch of hair in it. Grab one of your towels too and that’ll help some as well,” I said.

“Ah, okay. My bad, I’m from a small town so I wasn’t ready for you to just be naked so quick,” Hallie said with a nervous chuckle as she pulled her shirt off.

She was toned and fit, her arms being muscular without being large. Her stomach was flat, even while sitting down and her boobs looked pretty decent, even in the plain light blue sports bra she wore. If the guys can get past the bald head, she’d probably be pretty popular at this school. I laughed, though when I saw her tan lines.

”I see farmer’s tans are a real thing,” I said, seeing that it looked like she still wore a t-shirt due to her pale skin anywhere that clothes covered. At least, it seemed she wore shorts because her legs were as tan as her arms.

“Oh shut up, cheerleader. We can’t all live in tanning beds like you,” she said, covering her shoulders with a towel.

”Hey, this tan is earned from hours by the pool,” I said with a wink.

Hallie’s Big Haircut

”Alright, should I take my hair down?” Hallie asked, reaching up to take the hair tie out of her ponytail.

”Leave it up! This looks like your natural color which means we can donate it. And since we’re shaving it we can donate all of it like this,” I said, digging through one of my drawers and pulling out my clippers.

”I have always wanted to donate my hair. I just never thought I’d donate all of it,” Hallie said with a nervous laugh.

Opening the camera on my phone, I knelt next to Hallie and flashed a grin. My cheek pressed against hers, I could feel her hair tickle my head, something I hadn’t felt in a while. She smiled too, albeit much more nervously and I snapped a selfie.

”Just for us and for my sister. She’ll be proud of me for getting you to shave your head, she’s been getting a bunch of her teammates to cut their hair short,” I said with a laugh.

I sent Katie the selfie with the message, “Guess who is getting to shave their new roommate’s head!”

Plugging my clippers into the wall, I stood behind Hallie and flipped them on. “Alright, are you ready to join your dad and me in being bald?” I asked.

”Shut up and shave me, please,” Hallie said after a deep breath.

”Anything for you roomie,” I said, pushing her head down and holding her ponytail out of the way.

This was my first time shaving anybody’s head other than my own and it was both exciting and nerve-wracking. I didn’t want to mess up, which would have been difficult considering the goal was to leave her without any hair. So I began.

Starting with her nape, I pushed the clippers into the hairline a little bit at a time. I worked the edges inward, careful to remove all of the length in one go to get as much hair off with the ponytail as I could. Her hair was thick and made even my high quality clippers work hard to get through it.

I worked my way up her nape until I reached behind her ears. Then I pulled her head to the left and began shaving upward around her right ear. Up through the sideburn my clippers went, slowly working my way towards the base of her ponytail.

Continuing to work my way around the edges, I moved to Hallie’s front and began to shave into her hairline. Her head was so pale as I peeled the hair back but I decided not to mention it and instead let her see for herself.

”I wish we had sat in front of the mirror so I can watch. The wait is killing me,” Hallie said nervously.

“Too late, we’ve already started and I don’t think I can let go of this hair until I have it all shaved off,” I said with a laugh.

“I can’t believe this is happening. It doesn’t seem real,” she said as I moved to her left side and began shaving upward on that side.

I worked my way closer and closer to the center of her ponytail, moving around my seated roommate in circles as I shaved away small sections of hair, trying to keep the circle even. Bit by bit, her head was closer to being bald. Finally, I reached the based and pushed my clippers through the last section of hair.

As I pulled the ponytail away, Hallie nearly leapt out of the seat. I stepped in her way and blocked her from passing.

”What are you doing? I want to see!” she said, looking at me incredulously.

”Let me finish cleaning you up! It’s patchy!” I said with a laugh, guiding her back to her seat.

”Fine, I guess that makes sense,” she said as I handed her the limp mass of hair that used to be on her head.

I ran the clippers over her head several times, on the top, the sides and up her nape. The clippers worked well and left only a little stubble. She had more hair than me but not by much.

”Alright, now I’ve cleaned you up. But I think we should do the razor shave first, that way you get to see it for the first time after you’re completely done,” I said, flicking off the clippers and grabbing my damp rag to wet her head.

”So we’re going all the way with it?” Hallie asked nervously.

”I mean why not? It’ll take maybe a day or two to get to the length it is now so what difference does it make? This way you can truthfully say that you’ve shaved your head. At least once in your life,” I added.

She let out a sigh. “Okay, shave me with the razor. Just be careful, I don’t won’t any nicks.”

”Hallie, if I can shave my own head without cutting myself, I’m sure I can shave yours just fine,” I said, spraying a healthy pile of shaving cream onto the top of her stubbly head.

I massaged the shaving cream onto her head and spread it out over everywhere that her long curly hair used to be. I then switched out my razor blade for a new one, choosing to give Hallie her first shave with a fresh, never used razor.

”There, no nicks,” I said, holding up the new razor.

”Okay, good,” she said and settled into the seat.

I began the way I always started my shaves, by going with the grain on her nape. She looked like she wanted to flinch as I made my first pass.

”Oh my god this is so weird. I can feel everything on my head,” she said.

”You’ll get used to it, it’s pretty nice though. Wait until you take your first shower though,” I said, working on her nape quickly but carefully.

”I wish I had known I was shaving my head before I bought shampoo at the store earlier,” Hallie said thoughtfully.

”Yeah, you won’t be needing that. But hair grows fast and if you want to grow it out after this, you’ll be surprised how much hair you have in a couple of weeks,” I said, remembering the one time I stretched my shaved out beyond a week while on vacation with my parents.

”I’ll see how I like this before I decide if I ever want to do this again,” Hallie said with a nervous chuckle as I had her lift her chin and began shaving the right side of her head.

I worked on the right side of her head, shaving around her right ear, which had a surprising number of piercings in it.

”That’s a lot of metal in your ears, did the little farm girl have a bad streak?” I asked as I shaved through her sideburn.

”It was the only rebellious thing I could ever get away with. Having big hair makes it easy to hide piercings,” Hallie said. “Although I guess that’s over.”

”Yeah, everybody will be seeing these ears,” I said, folding her right ear down and letting it spring back out straight.

Next was her left side, and then finally the crown. I was quickly beginning to see why I always had willing volunteers to shave my head, I was thoroughly enjoying myself. Watching the stubble make way for a smooth scalp was so satisfying, like the soap cutting videos that were popular when I was younger.

I finished up my first pass and wiped her head down in preparation for the next coat of shaving cream and the second shave, this time against the grain. As I spread it out over her head, we heard a knock at the door.

”Come in, it’s unlocked!” I said.

The door opened and through it came our resident assistant, the student who was responsible for making sure we followed the rules in the dorm. She was a bubbly blonde with a bob that nearly reached her shoulders.

”Hello ladies, are we getting moved in okay?” she asked before she saw us.

She then froze and stared at us. Me with my already bald head, and Hallie with her head covered in shaving cream.

”Oh god, I’m going to be in so much trouble. Is this hazing? Why would you do this?” she asked, putting a hand to her head.

I laughed, “No! This isn’t hazing, we both have been shaving our heads for a while and we wanted to start the week off with a clean shave. This is just some roommate bonding!”

Hallie looked at me and smiled a closed lip smile in thanks. I knew she didn’t want people to look at her like she was a freak and I knew people would ask lots of questions if they knew she had just shaved her head for the first time. I could only hope that the RA wouldn’t see the massive ponytail of curly hair that Hallie currently had hidden under the towel.

”Thank god. Well, this is officially the strangest thing I’ve ever walked in on, and I’ve been an RA for three years. But it’s not against the rules so carry on. You both look fantastic,” she said with a relieved sigh.

She left the room and closed the door without even introducing herself. Once the nameless RA was gone, Hallie let out her own relieved sigh.

”Thanks for that. I don’t know why but I feel like it would be more embarrassing if people knew I didn’t show up here bald. I’d rather people think it’s just what I’ve done for a while like what you’ve been doing,” she said as I began shaving up on her nape, against the grain.

”No problem, just looking out for my roomie. Hopefully you’d return the favor some day,” I said.

”Hey, snitches get stitches right?” She asked, raising an eyebrow, the only hair she had left on her head, at me.

”You’re damn right, now let’s finish the shave up,” I said.

I worked quickly after the months of practice. I shaved her nape, removing any prickly remains of hair with each stroke of the razor. Her nape was finished and shockingly pale as I had her lift her chin and began shaving the right side of her head.

Again I folded down her heavily pierced right ear and shaved around it, this time pulling the razor away from her ear. Then I moved on to her left side, doing the same around that ear as well. All that was left was her crown which I shaved in long strokes, back across the curves of her head.

”I still can’t believe I let you do this,” she said, shaking her head as I cleaned the razor off in the sink before walking back to renew my shaving efforts.

I made a few more passes and then felt her head all over for rough patches. There wasn’t much left but what there was I made quick work of with my razor and just like that she was done. I wiped her head down with the damp rag and patted her bald head.

”Alright now you’re done,” I said with pride. She looked amazing but also extremely different than she had when she walked into the room.

Hallie now jumped out of the chair, leaving her hair behind with the towel she had around her shoulders and ran to the mirror. Her eyes flew wide open and she gasped, her hands flying to her head and searching it like her hair had suddenly gone into hiding.

”Oh fuck, what have I done? Oh fuck, oh fuck, oh fuck,” she said over and over again as she absentmindedly rubbed her smooth head.

”You shaved off all of the long hair that you obviously were pretty sick of. And you look like a badass,” I said, picking up my moisturizer and rubbing it onto my head, giving it a shine against the fluorescent lights of the room.

”My head is so fucking pale! Do I look bad? Be honest!” Hallie demanded, turning to me and holding my shoulders.

”Hallie, you look fucking hot. It really looks great on you,” I said, telling her the complete truth.

”Promise?” she asked, tears threatening to fall from her eyes.

”I promise! Now hold still so I can moisturize your head,” I said, putting some more moisturizer in my hands and massaging it into her scalp.

”Okay, I think you’re right. I like it but I didn’t believe it actually looked good at first. But if you say so,” she said, relaxing into the scalp massage I was giving her.

”I do say so. You look great. I’ll let you use my moisturizer till you get your own, your head is going to need it,” I said, patting her head once again now that her massage was complete.

Hallie turned to me and hugged me, “Thanks for doing this. I can already tell you’re going to be a good friend and I was worried.”

I squeezed her back, “I was too. Thanks for being cool. You want to get changed and see if we can find some boys that are in to bald heads?”

Hallie nodded, “Promise you’ll help me with my makeup?”

”Of course,” I said, giving her one more squeeze before turning to find a cuter outfit than a hand-me-down shirt from my dad.

Once we were both dressed and ready to head out for the evening, I snapped one more selfie of us, now both bald and smiling happily. I sent it to Katie with the message, “Baldies for life!”

Katie texted back right away, “Proud of you sis, have fun at college!”
