Sally Marie Simmons was known as "Sally Mean Streak" long before the day the prom queen's hair fell out.

One vote was the difference, but that's all it took for Mean Streak to lash out.

As Jessica Baker rain screaming through the halls, her hair leaving a trail behind her, Mean Streak was scanning the paper ballots.

She had insisted on voters having to write out the names instead of check a box.

Then, she fed in stacks of handwritten essays.

Handwriting samples for the computer to analyze.

A list of names appeared on the screen.

Sally grinned and laughed.
