Pavitr looks at his hand as it is finally freed from Lea's hair. "Nice to meet you." he says in a scared and unsure voice. Pavitr's expression tells us that her hair is ravaged. And it is.

"Sure. Total pleasure." Lea says staring at her unevenly cut hair that is now the length of her neck. She snaps the mirror closed.

Exiting the nurses office, Pavitr balls his hair covered hands and puts them in his pockets. He walks the halls, mortified. 

No one saw. It's okay. No one knows. No one knows. He then looks around to see everyone is staring.

Everyone knows. appears in giant letters behind him.

Pavitr hunches over and grabs his backpack straps. Everyone knows! They're talking about me. They saw everything. He knows. She knows. They know. He takes a double glance at a girl he walks past. Wow she's super tall.

He glances to the other side of the hallway. Why is he smiling? Am I the weird guy now? His eyes widen.

Pavitr starts to run down the hall. What am I doing? How do I stop? Can they hear my thoughts? Why are all my thoughts so loud!? "Hey!" a voice suddenly shouts.

The school security guard appears. "I know you snuck out last night, Prabhakar." he says with his hands on his hips.

Play dumb. He takes a step backwards. "Who's Prabhakar?" he says to the guard.

Not that dumb. Pavitr opens the door behind the guard and takes off running.
