THIRD PERSON P.O.V.

J High was for its festival sights. A lot of people gathered and each department also attempted to make a profit of the event. There were a range of ideas: snack booths, cafes, etc. 

As for the fashion department...

"Voting results are in. One of you has to be in the charity date auction." 

"Are you nuts? Why me?!" Zack yelled slamming his fists down on his desk. "No chance I'm going!"

"I don't want to be a part of it either..." Daniel thought.

"Listen, if you can make a profit, we'll let you off the hook."

Zack glances back at Mira before glancing towards Renae. He thinks for a moment before squeezing his eyes shut and grimacing. "Grr!!"

~~~

Zack ended up setting up a boxing stand where someone would pay $5 to try and hit him within a minute. If they succeeded, they would be able to double their money. So far though, no one had managed to even graze him.

Renae was half tempted to try the booth but decided against it. She had already hit Zack once so there was really no point in doing it again.

"Zack...really must've not wanted to go in the charity date auction" She thought.

In the end, Daniel was chosen for the auction. There was also several department performances planned to show their skills.


BEAUTY DEPARTMENT


"Renae!" 

Eli sees the girl watching from a short distance away and waves her over. She waves back and walks over to him. 

"Did you want a haircut?" He asks.

Renae glances over at the crowd of girls near the beauty department's booth and notices their uniquely cut bangs. 

She shakes her head and Eli lets out a disappointed sigh. 

"If you say so..." He says, turning back to the girl who was patiently waiting for her haircut.

He lifts up his hand to start snipping away at the poor girl's bangs but Renae grabs his wrist to stop him. She takes the scissors from his hands and starts cutting the girl's bangs herself. 

Eli doesn't protest in any way. He knows that he's not the best at cutting hair and he's curious as to see how this will turn out.

Truth be told, Renae didn't know much about cutting hair but she did learn a few things from Heather, so it couldn't turn out that bad.

After a few more seconds, Renae was finally done. She stepped back to look at her work and was satisfied. Not to sound arrogant but the girl's bangs actually turned out pretty decent. At the very least, they were better than Eli's horrendous work.

"This looks very nice!" Eli says, leaning closer to the girl's face. "Good job, Renae!"

The girl's face quickly turns red and she scurries out of the chair.

"You could learn a thing or two from this girl" Yeon says.

Yeon Lee (Sophomore Rep)

She then turns her head toward Renae. "That was a better haircut than I expected. Ever think of transferring to the Beauty Department?"

Renae shakes her head. 

"Alright. Just let me know if you ever change your mind."

"Did you want to stay and cut more people's hair?" Eli interrupts.
