I grab a mixing bowl, some brushes to apply dye, bleach, pink dye, and Vega.

"Come on sunshine, mama's going to dye her hair." i say while setting down the toilet lid, placing a towel over it, and then setting the white ball of fluff down. Vega just just stares at me as i assembled all my dying materials on the sink. Once everything is arranged, i close the door behind me and begin bleaching my roots.

"You know i can't believe i thought he was going to help me." i laugh dryly while splitting my hair off into sections. "He's a jerk. The classic bad boy." i add and look at Vega who has positioned herself on her back.

As i tied a plastic bag around my head, just around the hair line so that the bleach would do its magic, i hear a knock on the door.

"Be right back." i whisper to Vega as i open the bathroom door and head down the stairs.

I opened the door and speak of the devil there he was again.

I had come to apologize and damn was i nervous for God knows what reason. What if she doesn't answer? Or if she completely ignore me? No turning back now.

Kai opened the door for me which was sort of a surprise. She had a plastic bag tied around her head, inside her hair was all jumbled up into foamy mess.

"Ugh...hi." I say nervously.

"Hi." she replies in a sort of angry tone.

He better be here for an apology.

And sure enough he was.

"Look, Kai, I'm really sorry that i yelled at you yesterday..." he began, his hand ran through his hair and he made all efforts to avoid eye contact. "it was my fault. I didn't mean to, I just sometimes lose my temper and...yeah. I'm sorry.

Adrian Malice was actually standing here on my door step apologizing for yelling at me when he as ruthlessly shattered girls hearts. Damn.

"...do you have a plan?" i ask setting aside his apology.

"I do." he grins.

"Then come on in and do share. Oh and i'm dying my hair so we're going to a have to stay in the bathroom basically." I add.

"Alright cool." i reply.

So that's what was up with the bag.

She leads me through the living room where i spent the night and up the stairs to her bathroom. Her house has always been so quiet, with her parents never home and Zeke in the basement it must get lonely. Kai leads me up the stairs to her bathroom where i find a small white kitten sprawled out, its paws hanging off the edge of the seat.

"When did this happen?" i ask as she sat on the sink.

"That's Vega, i got her yesterday with Zeke." she says happily looking down at the snowball.

"Veega or Vay-ga?"

"Vay-ga." she reassures.

"Cute." I say as i pick up the kitten and sit down the lid, placing the Vega in my lap.

"So, what's the stitch?" she says eagerly as she unties the bag around her hair.

"Oh trust me, this is going to be good." i say as an evil smirk cross my face.

"Cut to the chase." she snaps.

"Alright well, i've got several ideas. One, we hire a male stripper to dress like a girl and go to his house on a night when he has all of his fuckboy friends around and maybe ever Lola to get her jealous. Two, subscribe him to all sorts of weird sex magazines. It should defiantly get him in trouble with his parents. Three, sign him up for spam. And four, get some dumb bumper stickers and plaster them onto his Corvette."

At this point she is leaned over the sink rinsing her hair in it.

"Those all require money and i can barely afford food right now." she says evenly while massaging her head.

"My parents are loaded, remember?" i say while petting Vega.

She turn off the sink, squeezes her hair to get excess water out, and finally wraps a towel around her head before saying;

"Is that all?" she says, eyeing Vega and I as if i were to hurt her.

"No." i smile. "We need to find out when him and Lola are going on a date. We can hire my little sister to follow him around and call him 'daddy'."

"You're insane." she chuckles.

"Just a little." i wink at her.

"Tomorrow night, our adventure of revenge begins."
