"Hi Nikkia." James from school smiled at Nikkia before coming around the corner and seeing me and Jace standing by the chairs. I turned, not making eye contact, and grabbed some hair dye. I don't know why, but I started making purple hair dye.

Hey Avril why are you making hair dye? I thought you were too chicken to give yourself streaks?

Shut up Alicia. I am not chicken.

Yeah, I talked to myself when I was alone. And yes, my other me is named Alicia. Got a problem with that?

I didn't think so.

Anyways I watched James out of the corner of my eye and he sat down in a chair. Who's chair you ask? Mine of course. Just my luck.

"Hey, is anyone going to help me over here?" James asked. Jace winked at me and wiggled her eyebrows suggestively. I chuckled and shook my head, walking over to the chair.

"Hi James. How are you?" I asked nicely, hoping he wouldn't ask me why I was here.

"Hey Avril. Why are you here?" I guess I have just that much bad luck. What did I ever do to you God?!

Maybe you got seven years of bad luck when you broke that mirror a couple years ago.

SHUT UP ALICIA.

"Oh, Nikkia is my close friend and I help her out here as a part time job." I answered. "Why are you here James? I thought you lived uptown?"

"Oh I do, it's just one of my friends from elementary school lives down here. He told me Nikkia was amazing, so I tried out getting a hairstyle here and it was the best hair cut of my life!"

Nikkia blushed over at her chair and smiled. I laughed and picked up the scissors. "So James, what do you want to have done to your hair?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After I was done just a trim on James' hair, I walked with him to the door. I opened it and as he was walking out I asked, "James?"

"Yeah?"

"Can we keep my job here a secret? Just for now?" I asked nervously.

"Yeah, sure, no problem. By the way, remember that friend I told you about who told me about this place?"

"Yeah."

"He's coming to our school on Monday. His name is Blaise. You think maybe if he has classes with you, you could...I don't know...help show him around?"

I thought about it for a minute. I didn't mind all that much. "Sure, why not?" I smiled.

Soon after James left, Nikkia was ready to close down the shop. She thanked us like a million times, and she also paid us $20.00 each. I took the crisp new twenty dollar bill from Nikkia's dark brown hand and then hugged her.

"Bye Nikkia, see you Monday." I waved as Jace and I walked out of the door. We got into Jace's car and left the parking lot.

"So, do you think Blaise will be the new hottie of Keyway High?" Jace asked, smirking widely.
