Who Am I

Chapter 20

Aria's Pov

Okay. First things first, I need to change the way I look.

And for that I'm going to need some money.

I had been flying like this for 10 minutes now and I'm pretty sure that now I'm out of view.

I gesture to Ash to hold the other strip of the bag. He holds it so I ever so slightly reach out my claw and open the zipper. My claw digs deep inside until I pull out a big chunk of money from the bag.

Ash grins.

I let go of the bag."You know you can let it go because I don't need it." I said smiling.

He drops it and it lands on the concrete ground.

I immediately fly to the nearest make over salon. I twist around and hide in an Alley then come shift to human.

I whispered to Ash."Hey...do you think you can make the flame on your tail go off?"

"Yes, I most certainly can... But why?"
He whispered back.

"Just asking!" I whisper-yelled.

I got out of the Alley and walked on the street and headed to the salon.

"Hello there. What can I do for you today?" Said a nice woman in the lobby.

"Can you make me look exactly like a boy?" I asked.

"Consider it done!" Beamed the lady.
"Now follow me."

I followed after her to a room that had a chair and a mirror in front of it that had a lot of tools, like scissors, brushes,hair straightener and lots more other tools that I never seen before. I'm guessing that this is where she will cut my hair.

"Take a seat sweetie."

I sat down onto the chair.

"Now tell me what changes do you want me to do to your hair?"she asked sweetly, this woman is making me feel sick.

"Just do as you like." I said.

The next thing I new was that I was looking at my reflection after she dyed my hair black and cut it in boy style.

Okay I gotta admit she is good.

"Do you want contacts to change the color of your eyes?" She said turning the chair around so that I was facing her.

I simply nodded, I have to change as much as I can.

There was a shelf I never noticed in the corner of the room filled with contact lens.

She you three of them and asked me which one I would like to take.

There was brown, green, and black.

I thought over it for a moment before I said "Brown."

She smiled "Perfect match."

She placed them on. And I looked at my reflection. Are you people sure that this is me?

"Excuse me ma'am, but are you sure that this is me?" I questioned pointing at the mirror and looking her direction.

"Of course it's you expect that you look different." She said the same smile plastered on her face.

Okay I had it, I'll never choose to work in a hair salon, if you have to smile all the time without getting a break my cheeks are going to kill me.

"Now do you want to have a change of clothes here or do you want to stay in your normal clothes?" She said with a hint of bittery.

"I'll have a change of clothes." I said.

She handed me a black shirt with short sleeves, and a blue short-sleeved  jacket. Dark greenish-blue trousers, black and red shoes. Gloves redand black to match the shoes, except that there is no place for the fingers.
Last but not least a white and red cap.

I wore all of them in the changing room, and stepped out to show her and see for myself.

I gasped, I barely even knew myself.

She smiled, " You know that the final touch is another name for you."

I turned around immediately.

"What's your name and I'll think of something."

"Um... Aria..."

"Wow your name is pretty. Now let's think." She paused."Choose one of these. Aron, Ash, Axel, or Alex."

I thought for a moment,"I think Ash would be a good name."
