It was just on the tip of his tongue, the top of his head, the last of his resistance dangling by a thread. Jason, formerly "Dirty J," had the fleeting sensation that he should be doing something, attempting some sort of rebellion as he was seated in the comfortable chair of the school barber. It was so exceptionally hard to think when your "little pecker" was knocking at the fly of your uniform shorts and a barber pole was swirling hypnotically from the wall above your chair.
"Jason," a formerly failed rapper whose affluent family grew tired of coasting on their dime, wasn't the most strong-willed young man. Most of the "boys" at Herbert Tumblebottom's Academy for Uncouth Boys weren't, but each had to be broken uniquely, in a way that malformed their new nerdy personality from the ashes of their former charismatic facade. Jason, for instance, had kept his head half-shaved and dyed gawdy colors, a misguided symbol of his supposed rebellion against societal norms.
Such silly notions were easily quashed under the experienced hand of the school barber, however, and after a few months' growth, the old steady hand was combing pomade into a tightly trimmed crop of plain-jane hair atop a beaming boy's head. As the slick styling wax settled into his former source of expression, Jason failed to stiffle a nasaly moan with the last brush of his newly managed hair. The final comb brushed those silly thoughts of resistance straight from the boy's head and into his pants with an unseemly spurt, stain unseen beneath the cumbersome apron.
"Th- th- thanks, sir!" he stammered in clumsily voiced gratitude .
