Andrea returns to her seat and opens the envelope
to find she has a free

kelly and andrea hear a tone from the speaker
in the ceiling "boy i hate
that tone that Mr. Tanner uses for the intercom
system,it is so loud"
replied kelly.
Mr. Tanner's voice comes over the speaker "I would
like to wish everyone a
safe and happy summer,we'll see you in august"
Mr. Tanner turns off the PA
Address.
"class,for the remainder of the period you are
free to chat but keep your

"i don't know but i think i got most of the questions
right" replied andrea.
"there were some tuffy questions" replied kelly.
"i know" replied andrea.

"I'm right behind you" andrea replied"

evening"replied kelly. "you lucky dog"replied
andrea.
"I'll call you in a couple of days there's my
bus" replied kelly. "ok"
andrea replied.
on the way home andrea got hot and thought she'd
place her hair in a clip
and then removed it when she got close to her
house.
the bus stopped and andrea got off and walked
to her front door and opened
it and entered the living room.
"Mom" andrea called. "I'm in here" replied andrea's
mom
Cheryl. andrea walked in to the kitchen to find
her mom still in her work
clothes. "How was school?" her mom asked.
"went fine" replied andrea.
"good,glad to hear it" replied her mom.
"you know it sure is warm out there" andrea told
her mom.
"it sure is, got a question for you" her mom
said.
"what's that?" asked andrea. "how would
you feel about getting your hair
thinned out for the summer?"her mom asked.
"i do not want it cut short"
andrea replied.
"ok, i just thought about having your hair buzzed
on top and take the bulk
out of the back but leave it long" replied her
mom.
"ok, i think that would be ok" andrea replied.
"we'll have sandy do it for you at the mall"
replied her mom.
"how soon did you want to go?" ANDREA Asked her
mom.
"in just a few minutes,got to go change clothes"
replied her mom.
andrea thought she'd get out of her skirt and
change in to shorts and put
some tennis shoes on.
andrea got back out to the living room to find
her mom in shorts and a
T-shirt and sneakers. "ready?" her mom asked.
"ready" replied andrea.
andrea and her mom cheryl headed for the mall
and parked the car and walked
upto the mall entrance and opened the door and
walked down to the salon.
andrea and her mom walked in to the salon to find
sandy sitting in one of
the stations. sandy greeted them "hi guys"
"Hi,sandy" cheryl replied. "what can i do for
you" sandy asked. "andrea
would like the bulk taken out of the back but
not the length and buzzed a
little on top for the summer" cheryl replied.
"would you like anything
done,to you?" "just cut the splits off
and make it even but do not cut it
no more than 1 inch" cheryl replied.
"you got it" replied sandy. andrea and
cheryl were caped up and got their
hair washed and sandy took the bulk out of andrea's
hair with some clippers
and then buzzed some hair off the top and then
started with cheryls hair and
cut about half an inch. when sandy was done with
cheryl and andrea she
removed the capes and gave them some samples
of shampoo and andrea and her
mom followed sandy to the cash register and cheryl
asked for the total and
sandy said $16 and cheryl gave her $20 and said
that it would cover the tip.
andrea and her mom walked out of the salon and
walked to the car and headed
for home and they pulled in to the driveway and
got out of the car and in to
the house and they sat and relaxed for awhile
and ken andrea's dad got home
and suprised andrea and her mom with a shaved
head. "what made you shave
your head?" andrea's mom asked him. "I
decided to shave it for the summer
months" ken replied.
"you look so handsome" replied andrea's Mom.
"thanks,you have the job of shaving it once per
week" replied ken.
"oh,goodie,I'm going to like that" replied andrea's
mom.
