Torn in Two

Part Twenty Three: Going Brown

Zack Young:

After spending the whole on the beach in the burning sun had some negative effect on me, or rather on my hair. That morning it was still pink but when I got home it was close to white- causing Grey to make jokes about my hair. It's getting so old by now.

However I was now sitting in Kevan's living room. I was sitting on a stool in the middle of the room. I had decided to dye my hair, I finally made up my mind. If I was going to meet my mother then I wanted her to see me with a normal hair colour, I was not doing this for father.

"I wanted to ask you if you have dyed your hair before but seeing you like this answers my question already" Lyra says with a smirk. "What color was it supposed to be".

I feel her hands go through my hair as I wonder if Aria was aware of her friend being her. To be honest I thought that Kevan's sister would dye my hair since he offered me to let someone else do it for me.

Suddenly I feel her tugging my hair since I didn't answer her question.

"Oh yeah right. Eh my hair used to be pink" I say with a shrug.

I hear Kevan chuckle. "Yes but after a day in the sun he turned into a ghost. Please fix this poor guy Ly" he says in an over dramatic tone. He has been hanging out with Neo and N for too long, one day and he is already infected.

Geez someone call the doctor.

She just chuckles softly as I hear her opening the package I brought. I was going back to brown, just for you mother. I look up in the mirror to see her putting on the gloves as she hesitates for a minute.

"Eh I've never dyed a guys hair before, Alex went to the hairdresser to get this handsome" she says with a smile as she kisses her boyfriend quickly, messing up his red hair.

Why did he even choose for red? Red heads have more fun?

Alex just smiles and pushes my head since I was staring at them from the mirror with a bored look on my face. Sometimes it really annoyed me to see people being so lovely dovey with each other, please get a room.

"Please let your girlfriend dye my hair, I will die if Grey thinks he's being funny when he makes more jokes about me being an old fart".

They chuckle softly before Lyra starts to mix the fluids in the bottle. I look through the mirror to see Lyra shaking the bottle to mix the contents.

"Hah you do look like an old fart. Grandpa Zack here only spends one day at the beach and he comes home with a head full of white hair" Kevan snickers. "Yah yah hurry Ly, dye his hair before he ages with his hair or else he might turn into a pile of dust".

I raise my eyebrow and look up at him. Was he joking? This guy spends way too much time with N these days, can't say this too often.

Lyra on the other hand finds her boyfriend's cousin amusing since she chuckles along with the jokes he makes. To me it's more like insulting me but I don't care, in about an half hour I will be back to brown.

"Why did you even dye your hair pink".

I think back at the first time I dyed my hair. Grey thought it would be funny to put purple hair dye in my shampoo, too bad for him that I liked the outcome. Father's reaction to my hair was so amusing to me that I kept dyeing my hair in any colour I could think of just to piss him off.

"I eh, To be honest I have no idea. It's not like I could say that I lost a bet or something" I say as I feel her squeezing the tube into my hair. There's a shiver going through my spine at the cold feeling of the hair dye on my head. That's the only think I hate about dyeing my hair, the terrible smell of something dying.
