Colin walked into school the next Monday morning, hoping that no one in their right mind would pull off the black beanie that newly covered his head. He sat down in homeroom and silently prayed:
"Dear lord in heaven, please don't have anyone ask about my hair! I don't think I could stand the embarrassment! Oh, please, please, please pl-"
"Mr. Gomez, you know the rules, I assume, so please take off that hat."
"So much for that," he grumbled as he stood up and walked to the teachers desk.
"Mrs. Brown, PLEASE don't make me take my hat off!" He said in a whisper. "See, my sister was mad at me and she-"
"Im going to assume that your sister shaved your head."
"How did you know?"
"I grew up with 2 of them, Colin. believe me, I know."
"Well, you're right. And it's bad. I'd rather not have the whole school laughing at me today."
"Colin, I cant change the rules. But what I CAN do is make a judgement on it and write a note permitting you to keep the hat on. So, let's see what we're dealing with here. Show me your hair."
"Oh, god..." Colin said as he slowly took the beanie off of his head.
"Oh, my..." Mrs Brown said as she looked at Colins hair. Or, a more accurate term, what was LEFT of his hair. Even after taking out what cornrows he had left, it still looked like a weedwhacker had mauled the top of his head. Bits and pieces of hair were all that remained in some places, and he had no hair at all on the back of his head.
"Ok, that's bad enough." She said as Col Here's a note. Show this too your teachers and they should let you keep your hat on the rest of the day."
"Thank you SO much," he said as he walked back to his desk, praying nthat no one would ask about it for the rest of the day.
"This is horrible! People have been asking all day about my hair!" Colin said as he sat down at the lunch table with his 4 oldest sisters and Bobby. "What am u supposed to do?!"
"Well, MAYBE you shouldn't make Lola mad," Lori said. "I mean, what yewere you even thinking when you got her a tarantula?"
"Ok, for the LAST time, that was a mix up! But I'm gonna have to wear this for the rest of the month, at least! A MONTH! I need to get revenge on Lola... but how?"
"Dude, Lola is already grounded for 2 months. What else could you do to her?" Luna asked him.
"That's just the thing: I don't know. But I have to think of something. And when I say something, that something is gonna be GOOD..."
"Wait, what are we talking about?" Leni said as everyone groaned.
"What a day..." Colin said as he got home from school. So far, he hadn't shown his head yet, but he knew that it was only a matter of time before he made a mistake.
"I HAVE to get revenge, but how?"
"I can probably help you."
"GOD DAMN IT!" he yelled as Lucy scared him once again. "How many times do I have to say to not scare me, Lucy?!"
"Sorry. It's a bad habit. But you shouldn't be getting revenge on Lola."
"Huh? But she cut my hair off!"
"She did do that, I suppose. But it wasn't her idea."
"Explain," Colin said as Lucy told him everything.
"I was sitting in the vents, writing my poetry-"
"Wait. Why were you in the vents?"
"Because it's dark. And I'm alone. Anyway, I was writing, and I heard someone knocking on the door below me. I looked down and saw Lola knocking on Luna and Luans door."
-FLASHBACK-
"Luan?! LUAN?! Open the door!"
Soon, Luan came to the door, tired and weary.
"Lola, what do you want? It's 2 in the morning!"
"I know. I stayed up all night, wondering what I should do to Lincoln and Colin after playing that horrible prank on me! I need your help, Luan."
"Wait, you want me to help you get revenge on them?" Luan said, much more awake than before.
"Yes. And it has to be good, too. Something that those 2 will NEVER forget, like how I'll never forget the terror I felt when that, THING, jumped on me!"
"Ok, the first step you need to take is that you need to keep your voice down. You don't want everyone knowing, right?"
"Well, I guess not..."
"So anyway, I have a really good idea for you. How about you..."
-END OF FLASHBACK-
"That's all I heard before they went into Luans room. Sorry."
"So I shouldn't be getting revenge on LOLA, I should be going for LUAN!"
"Bingo. Just some advice though. Don't tell Lincoln. He'll probably be even more mad at her than you are. After all, you can cover your hair, right?"
"Yeah, but..."
"Lincoln can't cover his eyebrows, can he?"
"...Good point. Thanks, chica. This means a lot."
"One other thing. This conversation never happened, got it?"
"Oh, I got it, Lucy, I got- Lucy?"
Lucy had disappeared.
"Well, it least I know who to blame now..."
"LUAN?! OPEN THE DOOR!"
Pretty soon, the door opened.
"Luan, I know it was you who- wait, where's Luan?" He asked Luna, who had opened the door.
"Dude, first off, I was in the middle of learning to play an epic guitar solo. And second, Luan isn't here. She's at some open mic night thing at the school."
"Oh. Well, sorry to bother you, Luna. Hope you get that solo down!" He said as he went downstairs to put his coat on.
As he opened the door to go to the school, he heard Luna again.
"Colin, wait!"
He turned to the top of the stairs, where she stood.
"...Good luck," she said after a few seconds, then she went back into her room.
"Ummm, ok?" Colin said to himself as he walked out the door, ready to enact HIS revenge on Luan.
"Whatever happens at the school, Luan is going to pay. Mark my words."
