Neighbors game by Steve

---

It’s a hot summer day, I’m 13 just chilling in my house when I get a text. My mom said to go over my neighbors house to get a haircut.I say okay and put on a tank top and shorts. I’m walking over there thinking what haircut I want to get. When I get there I knock on the door and my other neighbor answers.(for context I used to live in an apartment complex). She says hey come on in. That’s when they explain that we will be playing a game called salon. I ask what it is. My other neighbor says that one of us will pretend to be my mom and pretend that we walk into the salon for my haircut. I saw that’s fine. Me and my other neighbor who is pretending to be my mom.(we will call her Kasey) and the person cutting my hair is Donna. Me and Kasey wait outside Donna’s house for a minute and then walk in. She set her house up like a salon with a waiting area and the chair to cut hair. Then Donna walks out of a room and says welcome to us. Then she tells me to sit in the other chair. She then grabs a towel and ties it the long way around me. She fixes the towel up and then she asks Casey what she is doing my my hair. I had told her outside what I wanted but to my surprise she said to shave my down for the summer. Donna says alright and walks to get her clippers.

I’m wondering what will I look like with a shaved head. She tilts my head down and a low buzzing noise fills the room the clippers make their way up my head I see lots of hair falling off. Kasey is looking at her phone while Donna is shaving my little head. She works her way to the sides and places the clippers to the middle of my forehead and pushes back the clippers down the middle of my forehead then she flips the clippers and pushes forward with the clippers. Seeing all the hair fall down of my head had me shocked. Then she takes the clippers all over my head a few times to make sure she got all the hair. There was no mirror at all so I did not see what I looked like. She walks away and comes back with shampoo a safety razor and a towel. She undos the towel and wraps the other towel around me she takes the shampoo and rubs it all over my head. She takes the safety razor places it in the middle of my head and swipes back then she puts it at my crown and swipes to my forehead she swipes all over my head. She wipes down my head and un does the cape. They both say I look good and send me back home. I’m glad they shaved my head because my hair was very damaged so I needed to anyways.
