It had been 10 long years since Kendra first heard of Kellin and fell in love with him without ever even meeting him first. She had just graduated from beauty school when she saw the tweet from him.

My old hairstylist Kendra died and I am looking for a new Kendra to replace her, if anyone knows any good hairstylists named Kendra refer me to them please!!!

Kendra's heart jumped, and she stared at the screen for twenty minutes in complete shock. When she finally tore her eyes away, she looked up and ran out of her room skidding and slipping around on the floor like a newly born slug. She tripped when she got to the kitchen but that didn't stop her from screaming and shrieking at the top of her lungs. Her parents, who were sitting at the table, were so startled her mom fell out of her chair and her father promptly fainted. They had heard Kendra scream many times before but never at such a volume and intensity. They thought something horrible had happened.

Kendra, at the sight of her mother on the floor and her father slumped over in his chair, was too riled up to help them and ran out of the house screaming nonsensical gibberish. After running around the block thirty times, facetiming Ang, screaming and making fifteen tweets about it, Kendra sat down on her front lawn, took a big breath and tweeted at Kellin.

I'm a Kendra who's a hairstylist! I'm looking for work and I'd totally love to take up the position!

She attached her credentials and pictures of some of her best work. Exhausted from rampantly running around the neighborhood and screaming, she dragged herself back to her room and immediately fell asleep after pressing post. Five hours later she awoke and suddenly remembered what had commenced before she dozed off. She shot up out of bed and ripped her room apart looking for her phone. After finding it under her bed she turned it on to see that Kellin Quinn had followed her and sent her a message. If him just looking for a hairstylist before sent her into a frenzy, this practically sent her into cardiac arrest. Her phone dropped from her hands, her vision went black and seconds later her limp body hit the carpet with a dull thud.

Once she awoke again, she slowly lifted herself up from the ground and decided she wasn't going to get anything done if she kept passing out. So she took her time getting up, got back onto her bed, sat there taking a few deep breathes before picking her phone back up from the floor. Her hands were shaking violently and it took all of her strength to not start screaming again.

"Okay Kendra, you can do this" she thought to herself and she turned the phone on. Still breathing slowly and heavily she went on the twitter app and took a look at the message Kellin sent to her.

Hey Kendra I love your work! Do you live near Grand Rapids and when can you start?

This time Kendra kept her cool. Well... somewhat, and with trembling fingers she typed up a message.

Thank you so much Kellin! Yes I live in grand rapids and I can start tomorrow even if you'd like! Any time you'd like and any day is good for me!

Wow that's actually great because I've been dying to go back to having red hair so how about tomorrow at 2? My address is 4719 Koopis Rd.

Sounds great I'll see you then!

Kendra was so overwhelmed with excitement she spent the rest of the day breathing heavily, crying and screaming. She called all her friends and made a few hundred posts on twitter, Instagram and Facebook before she realized what a long trip she had ahead of her. It would take four hours to get to Grand Rapids. It was 8 pm already but she decided that the best course of action would be to leave now and stay at a hotel, so she was ready to go the next day. She packed a small suitcase, kissed her revived parents goodbye and set out for Michigan.
