As Jen began rushing for the car park, she realised she'd have to pass right by Principal Turner and his office. "Oh crap!" she said under her breath "I can't risk being seen by him a second time; he thinks I'm with the nurse." Jen then turned around and made a break in the other direction, she'd have to take the long way around to her car. With her hair held in her arms Jen travelled briskly to the car park, occasionally stopping to case the area and avoid being seen and to regather her smooth gold tresses, it growing ever longer with each pause. When she reached the car park her hair had grown about another 2 feet. This change had gone mostly unnoticed as she'd bundled her hair in her arms most of the way there. She released the bundle in order to retrieve her keys. Her locks dropped to form a bundle at her feet, completely covering them up to her ankles.
Still in a hurry, she struggled to get the key into the lock. In all the franticness she managed to drop to key into her growing bundle. "Damn it!" she shouted, dropping to the ground, sifting through her thick locks. Buried within an ankle-deep pile of hair, she struggled to find her car keys, her hair having grown another 4 inches she reached the car. In the frustration she cursed, "Fucking hell. Why couldn't dad have paid a little extra for central locking? The damn cheapskate." Suddenly she felt her scalp tingle once again as her growth accelerated to 256 inches/hour (4.25"/minute).
"Oh my god I can feel it coming out of my head now! How do I keep forgetting about that rule?!" Urgently, she decided to move all her hair away from her keys like she should have done in the first place. She walked away from the car in order to drag it off the spot where the keys should be. To her surprise, she had to walk about 10 feet away from the car before her keys were visible, her hair now laid stretched out a bit over 3 feet on the ground from her shoes. "SHIT! I really need to get home. NOW!" she yelped. In a flash she grabbed the keys and got straight into the car, reeling in her 9 foot mane and placing the excess pile on the passenger seat where it continued to grow.
