Chapter 27

The morning of August 5th found Cat and Jade in the cozy confines of Cat's bathroom, armed with a box of red velvet hair dye and high hopes for a stylish transformation. With eager excitement, they set to work, determined to achieve the perfect shade of red.

As they mixed the dye and carefully applied it to Cat's hair, the bathroom quickly turned into a riot of color, with splashes of red velvet dye decorating the sink and floor. Cat giggled nervously as she caught sight of her reflection in the mirror, her hair now resembling a vibrant crimson cloud.

"Oh my gosh, Jade, what have we done?" Cat exclaimed, her eyes wide with disbelief as she surveyed the colorful chaos around them.

Jade couldn't help but laugh at their predicament. "Well, they do say that red is the color of passion, right?" she quipped, trying to lighten the mood.

As they waited for the dye to work its magic, Jade found herself admiring Cat's bold new look. "You know," she mused, "I've always wished I could have hair like Tracy from 'Thirteen.' Her long layers are just so cool."

Cat's eyes lit up with excitement. "I can totally do that for you!" she declared, reaching for a pair of scissors with newfound determination.

With Cat's steady hands and a few quick snips, Jade's hair was transformed into stylish long layers, mirroring Tracy's iconic look. As she caught sight of herself in the mirror, Jade couldn't help but grin with satisfaction.

"Wow, Cat, you're like a hair wizard!" Jade exclaimed, feeling a surge of confidence in her new hairstyle.

Cat beamed with pride, her earlier apprehension replaced by a sense of accomplishment. "Thanks, Jade! Now we're both rocking new looks," she said, sharing in Jade's excitement.

As they cleaned up the colorful mess they had made, Cat and Jade couldn't help but laugh at their morning adventure. Despite the chaos, their bond had only grown stronger, cemented by their shared laughter and determination to embrace change, one hair dye mishap at a time.

Under the midday sun, Melrose Avenue bustled with energy as Cat and Jade strolled along the colorful street, their spirits lifted by the promise of a fun-filled day ahead. The vibrant storefronts and eclectic boutiques beckoned to them, offering a myriad of treasures waiting to be discovered.

As they rounded the corner, Cat's eyes lit up at the sight of Beck and Andre waiting for them, their smiles infectious and their presence a welcome addition to their adventure. The boys' eyes widened in surprise as they took in Cat's striking red velvet hair and Jade's stylish new haircut, a testament to their morning escapades.

"Wow, you guys look amazing!" Beck exclaimed, his admiration evident in his voice as he took in their transformed appearances.

Andre nodded in agreement, a grin spreading across his face. "Yeah, you both look like you stepped straight out of a magazine or something."

Cat and Jade exchanged a knowing glance, their excitement palpable as they prepared to explore Melrose Avenue with their friends by their side. With Beck and Andre in tow, they ventured into the first boutique they came across, eager to try on some of the outrageous outfits that lined the racks.

As they browsed through the racks of clothing, laughter echoed through the store as Cat, Jade, Beck, and Andre each picked out the most outlandish pieces they could find, daring each other to try them on. From neon-colored jackets to sequined jumpsuits, they embraced the playful spirit of the moment, reveling in the freedom to express themselves without reservation.

Jade couldn't help but steal glances at Beck as they tried on various outfits, her heart fluttering at the sweet look he gave her when their eyes met. In that moment, surrounded by laughter and friendship, she felt a warmth spread through her chest, grateful for the bond they shared.
