A Hairy Situation~a Photostory

I casually strolled into Saige’s bedroom, and found her (what else) doing her hair.

“Hi!” I greeted. Saige turned. “Oh, hello! How ’bout you hang out with me for a bit, sis?” She grinned. Oh no. Hanging out with Saige could only mean one thing…fashion. ​”Um, I’m okay.” I said, awkwardly scooting out the door.

Saige only laughed and pulled me over to her vanity, where she thrust her hot-pink straightening iron into my arms. “Go find somewhere to plug it in, then I’ll show you how to use it.” She instructed. I reached up and touched my already-stick-straight brown hair. “Uhhh, I don’t think…”
“Go!” My sister commanded. Sometimes I wonder if Saige is blind. Seriously.

I plugged in the straightener and carefully, making sure not to burn myself, carried it over to Saige.

“Great!” Saige smiled.

“See how I’m putting my hair in it and bringing it through?” Saige demonstrated. Disinterested, I said, “Sure, yeah.”

I yawned. As much as I loved my sister, her obsession with fashion and hair wasn’t something we shared.

I grabbed some nail polish and began to paint my  fingernails.

As I blew on my wet nails,  Ruthie tumbled into the room. “Whee, look at me!” She yelled. “Award-winning gymnast coming through!”

I knew what was going to happen before it did. “Ruthie, watch out for-” I tried to warn her.

Just like I’d thought, Ruthie’s legs got caught in the cord from Saige’s straightener. “Help!” She squeaked. I was frozen with horror.

After that, it got chaotic. Everyone screamed at once, including me.

Ruthie collapsed to the floor and Saige clapped a hand to her head. “Ow, ow, ow! It’s HOT!!!” She shouted. “911! 911!”

I comfortingly slid my arm around her shoulders. “Come sit down,” I soothed.

Ruthie looked up at me. “I’m good,” she reassured.

I rushed to get Saige some ice, and she said, “Thanks, Brooke. What would we do without you?”

I blushed and shrugged. Saige continued, “Hey, um, Brooke…” and trailed off.

“What?”

“…How does my hair look?”
