It was late December in 2004 and I had just started my new college. I didn't know any one, but what the hell I thought. The college had a strict code of dress and was just for girls and I was a little uneasy at first. I quickly made friends with a girl called Mel. I was attracted to her because of her extreme hair cut. She was a very out going type of person and to be fair I was a little shy.
Every day I sat down next to Mel and we would chat about the college and things, I loved it when she turned her head as I was fascinated by her hair, it was dark brown the same colour as mine and very heavy on top and had a line cut into her hair one inch above her ears, The hair was shaved very short - so much that she was almost bald. Every time I looked at it I got excited and I could feel my self getting wet.
My hair was very boring in comparison. It was very long and dark brown, but wished I could have my hair cut like hers. One of the other girls remarked one day that we looked like each other. Me and Mel turned to face each other and yes we did. Claire said if you changed clothes and had your haircut you could be twins. I must say this did appeal to me very much, my throat became dry at the back and I could feel the sweat running down my back with excitement, I felt my throat and wanted to take my tie off. I wanted Mel to say something, but she didn't.
That night I went home and thought about what Clair had said. There was a problem though. I had very strict parents. I had to wear regulation uniform, which consisted off, Long sleeved shirt, tie, Jumper and Trousers. I had my ears pierced, but only once. Mel's parents were a little less strict to say the least, Mel always wore her white Polo shirt which had to be fastened at the collar and a long blue baggy cardigan and black jeans. Her ears were pierced, but she had begun to stretch the holes and you could see daylight thought them. And of course Mel had a bowl cut, there was no way I would be allowed to have one - or would I.
After tee I took off my school uniform and casually asked my mum if I could have my hair cut. The reply was exactly what I thought, "NO, Don't be silly" I was told "I haven't got time to discuss things like that - now go and do your home work."
The following day I returned to college and the day started as normal, Mel was late, Miss Strickland asked her why she was so late, and to fasten her collar. "This is shit you old bag ". She was told to go the Head masters office. I saw Mel later that day, she told me that she was going to have the Cain that afternoon, I know she had had it before and that she had cried, I wondered if it did hurt, not that I would ever have it.
Her hair hadn't been cut for some weeks and I thought she was going to grow it long, it had become wispy at the back and was now touching her collar. I asked Mel if she was going to grow her hair, " NO WAY " she said, " MY MUM HAS BEEN AWAY FOR A FEW WEEKS VISITING FRIENDS - SHE GOING TO CUT MY HAIR TONIGHT - I WANT IT SHAVED BARE BLADE THIS TIME BACK AND SIDES, I WILL HAVE IT UNDER CUT LATER THIS MONTH " This was my moment, if I didn't ask now I never would, but as I was about to asked the question, ( would your mum cut my hair ), Clair appeared. Hi she said, " I AM GOING TO MEL'S HOUSE TO HAVE MY HAIR CUT AT MEAL TIME - WHY DON'T YOU COME ". "Well eerrrm yes ok". I replied, my heart was racing and touched to back of my head, I secretly hoped that they would cut my hair as well. I didn't care what my parents thought, I was in love with Mel's hair - I had to have it!
Then it was meal brake as usual, and as planned we walked to Mels house, as we walked Mel undid her collar buttons, she pulled it back across her neck, it was all baggy and it looked so cool with her bowl cut. Mel asked me, " DON'T YOU GET FED UP WITH ALL THAT HAIR IN THE SUMMER AND WEARING THAT TIGHT COLLAR AND TIE". OH YES I REPLIED, I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE MY HAIR CUT LIKE YOURS AND WEAR CLOTHES LIKE YOU ". Mel stopped - she looked at me, I began to tremble - I had said it, I thought she was going to hit me. " WELL WHY DON'T YOU - MY MUM WILL DO IT FOR YOU - COME HERE SHE SAID". She came close to me and took my tie off, " YOUR NOT WEARING THIS ANY MORE ". We carried on walking - I still had my collar fastened.
We arrived at Mel's house, her mum welcomed us in, OHH HELLO, I DIDN'T THINK I WAS DOING THREE HAIR CUTS TODAY".
Her mum said, " WELL WHO'S GOING TO BE FIRST THEM " . Claire stood up and went to sit in the chair in the kitchen. Claire had hair shorter than mine, about shoulder length, she too was wearing a polo top and cardigan, most of the girls did, I was one of the few that didn't! Her mum went to the draw, she pulled out some hair clippers and was fumbling with various attachments. I thought Claire was a little nervous, Her mum didn't ask what she wanted, she just began to cut, Mel began to undue her cardigan buttons, " I ALWAYS GET EXCITED WHEN MY FRIENDS GET THERE HAIR CUT - DON'T YOU " She gave me a peck on the cheek. I know I shouldn't, but I liked it, I smiled. " I CAN TELL YOUR LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, WHILE CLARIES GETTING HER HAIR CUT, WHY DON'T YOU COME UP STAIRS ".
I don't know why but I followed her, " OK ", she said, I was told to take my clothes off, this I did, as did Mel. " WELL GET DRESSED ", she said giggling, We eagerly put each others clothes on. I loved the feel of the Polo shirt about my neck and couldn't wait for my hair cut. I could smell mels sweat on the clothes and it turned me on.
We went down stairs but Claire wasn't there, I could see a mass of blonde hair all over the floor, " COME ON ", I was pushed into the kitchen, as I sat down I couldn't believe what was happening, I was sweating heavily and beads of sweet ran down my face. I said to her mum that I hope she didn't mind me wearing mels clothes, " NOT AT ALL DEAR, ITS SUITS YOU - COULD BE SISTERS, NOW HOLD YOU HEAD STILL ".
Then I felt it, the scissors cutting thought the length at the back of my hair, her mum had grabbed it into a big bunch and before I could speak she had cut though six inches of hair, she threw it to the floor, I could feel my head was a lot lighter, " DO YOU WANT IT LIKE MEL'S DEAR " " YES " I replied with a whimper. SIZZZZ SIZZZZZ SIZZZZZ, I could her the shears whipping off my hair, she made several passes up the back, but not all the way up, she would pull the shears off - Sharpe as they went half way up the back of my head, then she made two passes at each side, then using a comb she began to put a line into the hair, Mel had a big smile on her face. Her mum asked if I wanted to keep my side burns, I looked at Mel, her's were bald, " "NO " , I replied, Sizzz Sizzz. They were gone. I looked at Mel, I noticed that she had put my tie on, emm ! I thought.
Then Mel said with start, LOOK AT THE TIME ! It was 12.45 pm, we should back at college at 1.00 pm. Mel's house was a good 20min walk, we had to hurry, but what about my clothes ! and my hair !!! Oh my god, it had just dawned on me, I HAD A BOWL CUT, and was wearing mels clothes.
We quickly began to run back to the school as we approached the school gates, I got there first, miss Strickland was waiting, she didn't have her glasses on and took hold of me by the arm, "get to the head masters office Melanie, you naughty girl with your silly hair cut," She slapped my across my face, This hurt, and my eyes began to fill with water. I tried to explain that I was Karen, Don't be silly Karen is running behind you. I turned around, I could see Mel running, she did look like me from the front and with my clothes on, she was me or so Miss Strickland thought, Mel shouted, " HEY KAS WAIT, " Get to lessons Karen that's a good girl shouted Miss Strickland.
I was then dragged by my hair to the head masters office, I couldn't believe it, this was turning into a bad day. I was made to stand out side the head masters office. Whilst I was there I put my hand to the back of my head, my hair was heavy and smooth on top and as I brought it down the back of my head a felt a bump as my hand dropped onto my bear scalp, I thought mels mum had just shaved my hair short, but no!, she had shaved it bald, part of me loved it and part of me hated it. I was now MEL. I felt the hair at the sides, it had been shaved two inches above my ears and the line was much higher than what Mel had.
I was summoned into the office, I was made to hold both hands out," WELL I SEE YOU ARE HERE YET AGAIN, WITH ANOTHER SILLY HAIR CUT, AND STILL WITH YOUR COLLAR UNDUE, YOU SHOULD START TO BE HAVE MORE LIKE YOUR NEW FRIEND KAREN - SHE WOULDN'T HAVE A SILLY HAIR CUT LIKE YOU ". WAK WAK WAK WAK. On each hand. I began to cry,I felt so silly, I fastened my collar and walked out of the office, I went into the toilet. Whilst I was calming my self down I looked in the mirror, I could at last see the new me! Despite the pain of being cained it was worth it, I loved my new hair cut and didn't care what people thought.
Later I saw Mel, she was crying, because I had taken the punishment, I told her not to worry, she said I could keep her clothes. Following day Mel arrived at school, I had made an excuse to my parents and had stayed at Claries house. I looked at mels hair. It was like my but a little different, this time she had a full undercut, it was shaved to the crown but with in a super bowl cut. I wanted it but that is for another day.
