Chapter 2: Bubble Gum

      I woke up the next day with a mess in my room. I fell asleep while eating chips, so I had this nasty taste in my mouth. i was on the floor with the controller wire around my arm. The TV was still on, which meant that mom didn’t come to check on me at night. The blankets were on the floor under me and I guess it had a piece of bubble gum stuck on it, so now my hair was all sticky and messy. Shoot. The only good thing I could think of is that I wouldn’t have to go see that Roy kid at school.

    I got up to see if there was any money on the counter. 20 bucks. I was probably on luck because getting a haircut cost $8 and Pony Rides Extreme was on sale for 5 bucks. The rest of the money I could use it to buy candy. So then I set out to the Salon.

   When I got there, Beccy, my sister’s stylist greeted me.

         “Hello Selena! Don’t you have school today?”

         “Well yesterday I got a fever so I can’t go today.” I replied with my sweet little girl voice.

         “Okay then, but what brings you here?”

         “Last night I had a piece of gum in my mouth and I fell asleep with it so when I woke up this morning, I had it all over my hair. Can’t you see it?”

          “Oh dear! Of course I can see it! Come my dear, follow me. I’ll get you the special chair dear.”

          “Okay! Thanks.” With that, I knew she was going to give me a discount so now I can even buy the new Pony Rides 4.

    I had to sit down in front of the sink, that way she could wash it and condition it so it won’t be that hard of a mess to fix. As she was washing my hair, I started to remember about a kid in kinder that used to put gum in my hair all the time. I tried to remember his name but only his face would pop up but then suddenly I remembered. It was Roy!

     I remember he moved to another state because his dad got a job somewhere else, and when I heard that, I was the happiest kid ever. So now I knew why I hated him so much! But anyway, I probably know why he used to do that with my hair, to get my attention. He has liked me all this time and I’ve hated  him all this time. Wow.

     Beccy took me in front of the mirror and started taking out her scissors. She started cutting my hair, and I hoped that this haircut looks nice so I could impress a 4th grader at my school. Jake London. He had dark brown hair that looked like soil and his eyes were green. So green that they glowed in the dark. He was a rocker though, so I wasn’t sure if he’ll like me.

        “Done!” Beccy said with a big smile on her face.

     I took a look in the mirror and saw a masterpiece. I had about five layers and had a nice amount of volume. I loved it.

         “I love it! Wow! It’s gorgeous, beautiful! Thank you very much Beccy! ”I said in so much joy.

       “You’re welcome dear. Oh don’t forget to tell Star to stop straining her hair. And tell Stacy that she should buy Hair, hair and hair shampoo.” Beccy told me.

         “Okay, how much is the hair cut?”

         “It was free honey. Now run along before my boss sees you.”
