Hair Straightener

Miranda sat in her bedroom staring at her computer screen, while an extremely bored Gordo sat on the floor against her bed. It was a Saturday afternoon; Lizzie was out shopping with her mom and they had nothing to do. Gordo watched as Miranda's fingers quickly moved across the keyboard. He kept his eyes fixed on the back of her chair, before groaning loud enough for Miranda to hear. She ignored him and continued to type. He felt annoyed that she didn't make a comment about the noise coming from his mouth so Gordo decided he needed to say something. Anything. "What is that?" Gordo asked, pointing at an object that lay on Miranda's floor. She turned around in her chair to look where he was pointing at, then looked back at the computer screen.

"It's a hair straightener," she replied. Gordo looked away from the object that was foreign to him. He felt kind of dumb not knowing what it was, but also was glad he didn't at the same time. "Have you ever straightened your hair?" Miranda asked him as she now faced him.

"No. I'm guy. Why would I?" he said. Miranda look at the hair straightener then at Gordo.

"Can I try?" Miranda asked with a sort of mischievous grin.

"What?"

"Straightening your hair," she told him.

"Okay," he said nonchalantly. Miranda smiled then got up from the chair to pick up the straightener. She plugged it in an outlet next to her bed and waited for it to heat up.

"Now are you sure this won't burn my hair?" Gordo asked. Miranda shook her head as she brought the straightener to his head full of dark brown curls.

"Don't worry, it's completely harmless. Why do think I use it?" Miranda picked a strand of one of his thick curls and began running through the straightener. Gordo winced as she pulled the handle towards her. One by one she straightened each curl until his hair was one long mop. Miranda stepped backwards to view her "work". She giggled quietly, but he heard her. "I look weird, don't I?" he said.

"No, but you definitely look different." Miranda pulled a handheld mirror from her side table drawer and handed it to Gordo. He took a look at himself and his eyes widened; Miranda laughed at his expression. "Your hair is so long when it's like this," she pointed out.

"Yeah," he said, still staring at himself in the mirror.

"It's nice, but I think I like your hair better curly," she said. Gordo turned his head away from the mirror and looked at Miranda; they both laughed.
