Waking up the next morning was painful. She felt sore from yesterday and she was dreading going to school.

She had been expecting to win. She had absolute confidence in her talent. She couldn't imagine not winning.

Rena dragged herself out of bed and made her way to the bathroom. She braided her long chunk of hair on the side of her head and added beads to it. Then she noticed a piece of hair that was too long. She picked up her scissors and made a fast snip. The she smiled at her hair's perfection and left the bathroom.

She opened her closet and stared at the vast collection of colorful clothing. What should she wear?

She chose a blue jacket because she was cold and wore a pink tank top under it. She also put on purple skinny pants and neon green converse.

When she was done, Rena grabbed her backpack and left for school.

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

"Rena!"

Rena turned to see Stratton running towards her.

"I really need to talk to you. It's important you see this", he breathed.

"Uh…okay, what is it you have to show me?" she asked.

Stratton waved her off and said , "No time. Hurry!" Then he grabbed her hand and pulled her down the hall. When they reached their destination, Stratton pulled Rena inside.

Stratton pulled open his laptop and turned it on. Then he pulled out a digital camera and plugged it into his laptop.

A window appeared and Stratton moved the arrow with his finger and clicked a couple of times. A video started to pay and Rena narrowed her eyes and looked closer to see what it was.

"Stratton! It's bad enough having to experience it once! I don't want to do it again!" she yelled. She glared at the video that was the haircut battle.

"Sssshhh! Sit down and watch", he told her.

She watched as the models went backstage to change. She watched Jacob walk over to her and taunt her. She watched the models come out and the audience vote for their favorite. Most importantly, she watched as Mikey announced Jacob as the winner of the haircut battle. When the video ended, she felt like crying.

"Did you see it?" he asked her.

"See what?" she said with a muffled voice.

He rewinded the video to the part where the audience was voting for their favorite models. He zoomed in and Rena saw what he was trying to show her.

" NO WAY !" she shouted. Her eyes were wide and her mouth fell open in shock.

"Yes way", Stratton replied calmly, " I found this last night."

"I can't believe this", she said quietly.

"What are you going to do about it?" Stratton asked her. Rena smiled and looked at Stratton.

"I think I have an idea. But I'll need some help."

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

Jacob walked coolly down the hallway Monday morning, without a care in the world. The he noticed some kids staring at him and giggling.

Two girls walked by and one of them said ,"Nice job loser."

He became so confused. What's wrong? I just won the haircut battle? Why does everyone hate me?

He found the source of the problem on the wall. It was a green flyer that read:

JACOB FARRO IS

A CHEATER!!!!

watch his evil

crime at:

stared at the poster, hardly daring to believe what it read. WHAT?!!!! THERE'S NO POSSIBLE WAY THEY COULD HAVE FOUND OUT!!!! He ran to the Scissors Project clubroom and turned on the computer.

He typed in the website and gazed in horror at what he saw. There was a video of him crawling towards the wires on a machine that counted the votes. Then he pulled out two wires and switched them. Then the video showed him walking over to Rena. A couple of minutes later, the models appeared and the audience voted. After a few minutes, Mikey declared him as the winner.

"What am I going to do? Someone caught it on video", he grumbled to himself. The door slammed open and David appeared.

"Jacob! Is it true?" David asked him immediately. Jacob didn't answer him. He just continued to stare at the computer screen.

"How could you do this? This changes everything! Why couldn't you just play a fair game?" David demanded, "The Scissors Project cannot be ruined like this!"

"What did you want me to do? I could not lose to her. I know I'm better than her!" Jacob yelled back.

"Then why did you do it?" David asked him. Jacob paused and bit his lip.

"I don't know", he said, "I think….maybe…I was scared."

David walked over to Jacob and punched him. Jacob knew was coming and didn't flinch.

"Don't you ever do that again", he said sternly, "Me and Mikey are your only friends. We will always be here to help. You just have to count on us."

Jacob smiled and said, "Thanks."

"First off, there is no hiding what you have done. I think you need to apologize to Rena and the audience", David told him.

" NO WAY ! I'LL APOLOGIZE TO THE AUDIENCE, BUT I'LL NEVER APOLOGIZE TO THAT GIRL!!!!" Jacob screamed.

David put a hand on Jacob's shoulder and said, "You're going to have to if you don't want to be ruined by this."

Jacob sighed and said, "Okay, I'll do it. But only because you guys are my friends and I owe you for cheating."

David held up a video camera and added, "We're also going to do it in video."

"WHAT? A video? That's terrible! That's crazy!" Jacob yelled.

"It's not as crazy as you think. Now smile and get ready for your public apology", David reassured him. He pressed the red button on the camera and Jacob gulped.

Then the red light came on and Jacob did not know what to say. Then he was struck by genius and Jacob started to speak.
