Whip Your Hair

Juliana gets up off her bed and turns on the fan. She plops back on the bed and picks up her cellphone as it rings loudly from within her purse. "Heyyy Jessicaaa! What's up bestie?" she yells into the phone obnoxiously. "About to get my hair done, you wanna come along gorgeous?" her best friend for the week responds. You see, she calls someone new each week her best friend. Some fight for the role to be Juliana Bimboski's current best friend and to be considered popular. Doing whatever they can to impress her, such as bring her food every day. She wouldn't be seen drop dead with Jessica if it wasn't for the occasional box of cupcakes she would bring her. If you thought this was just a high school thing, you'd be wrong. This has been happening since preschool.  "Totally, I really need to do something with my hair like ugh." complains Juliana. She tries to keep it a secret that she wears extensions, but it's obvious. She's balding from all the bleach. "I'll be right over to pick you up!" says Jessica. "K" says Juliana carelessly. She drops the phone on her bed as she gets up. She groans "I wanted to talk to Jake, not that loser.. she's getting lame. I heard she bought jeans from Walmart, gross!" Juliana whines to herself. Then she turns on her ipod which is connected to some speakers and plays a song "Whip My Hair" by Willow Smith.  She takes her stance, air blowing in her face as the song begins. "I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH" the song plays and Juliana begins jerking her head, whipping her hair around. She forgot to take her extensions out and starts yelling the lyrics, continuing to whip her hair wildly. She almost loses balance and steps forward. "I WHIP MY HAIR BACK AND FORTH!!!!!" she shouts. Something then yanks her blond hair forcibly and she begins screaming out in pain. The hold gets tighter and she starts bleeding "HELPP!! SOMEBODY HELPP ME!!" she screams. Laughing can be heard from her bed, Jessica's laughter.. looks like Juliana forgot to hang up the phone and Jessica heard the whole thing. "That's what you get b^tch!" Jessica laughs from the other side of the phone. She didn't even know what was happening to Juliana, but the screams were enough. She was probably just being a drama queen as usual anyhow. This was a sturdy fan. At one point the screams silence and there is a pool of blood surrounding Juliana and all over her clothes, she has a look of panic on her face and lifeless blue eyes. Mascara and fake tan smeared with blood rolling down her face. Her bloody hair gripped tightly by the fan as she's on her knees. Perhaps on further inspection they'd find her few strands of hair go through her empty skull like a Barbie. The jam causes electricity to spark and it catches on her hair, starting a fire. Her reign of terror and pathetic attitude are up in flames.
