The Mistake | Colby Brock

Chapter Twenty-Nine-Change

Jordan's pov
"JORDAN!" I heard a loud scream making me jump in my seat, cutting me from my thoughts. "JESUS!" I yelped trying to focus my vision. "Oh my GOD JORDAN.. you scared the cheez-it's outa me!" Reggie yelled slamming his head into the steering wheel. "I-I'm so sorry... i was just remembering where that place was, it was so intense." I breathed out grasping my head in my hands. "Oh my... did you guys have sex there? Ewewewew Joooordaan." Reggie extended my name, gagging afterwards. I was not too fond of sex, i didn't even know what it was. "Huh? What? No?" I asked more than said. "Wait.. you- you don't know what sex is?" Cassie asked from behind my seat, sipping on her coffee. "No? Not really no." I answered truthfully making Reggie go wide eyed at me. Seconds later he burst out laughing causing Cassie to slap him "Oh shush! She's innocent!" "What? I'm so confused." I really wanted to pull my hair out right now... or punch a wall. "Well we are not going through this right now... um are you gonna, go? To that place tonight?" Reggie quickly changed the topic faster than i could grasp it. "Uh... i guess so? I don't see why not." I honestly didn't. As long as he didn't bring her there. "Well let's finish shopping for random shit we won't need, and you can think about it when it's time, okay? Let's have some fun before people find out i'm alive!" Reggie yelled enthusiastically and turning the car off. I playfully rolled my eyes and got out of the car along with Cassie. "I say we all dye our hair. Maybe change our looks a bit, so we don't look THAT distinguishable to them." Cassie whispered to us and i nodded, i knew by 'them' she meant the spy's working for the A.P.P. I'm actually not sure if Jake or Colby have reported me to them since i'm still technically a minor, that's missing but not really. "I agree, i say we dye our hair crazy colors!" I jumped throwing my arms in the air. "Bro bet! But we should put colors in a hat and choose randomly!" Reggie said as he skipped next to us. "Okay woah that'll be cool." I smiled and walked into the store. We immediately went to the beauty and hair aisle and looked around. We each picked out two colors and Cassie put the names on Target tags and put them in her bucket hat. Mine were blonde and red, Reggie chose teal and pink, and Cassie chose purple and orange. We each took turns closing our eyes and picking a color. "Gosh i'm scared, i swear if i get orange i'm going to cry." I said making Cassie laugh. "I better not get pink. It's really not my color." Me and Reggie laughed at Cassie and Reggie pulled one out the hat. "I'm not even mad with the colors here to be honest, i really don't care." Reggie giggled and Cassie gave him a stink eye. "On three?" I asked holding my paper up. "One." Cassie lifted hers up. "Two." Reggie held up his. "Three." I whispered and unfolded mine. We all gasped at the same time and i waved mine in the air. "TEAL BITCHESSS!" I screamed jumping up and down but stopped suddenly when we saw a family looking at us weird. Cassie burst into laughter almost falling back and showed hers. "Pink." She made a disgusted face and pretended to gag. Reggie still had his hand on his mouth and flipped it to us. "BLONDE!" I screamed with laughter as Cassie and i laughed and pointed. "It's not funny!!" Reggie stomped and pouted. "Oh shush, what happened to not caring about the color huh? C'mon it won't even look bad!" Cassie yelled and ducked at the colors. "Guess we're actually doing this huh?" Reggie sighed as he picked up a box labeled "Hair Bleach." "You're ONLY getting bleach? Not like a toner or anything?" Cassie asked as her eyes widened in shock. "I don't even know how this stuff works i'll let y'all figure this out." I said as i moved to the next aisle, away from the hair stuff. I saw some shampoo and as i backed up to read it better i bumped into someone i hadn't seen behind me. "Oh shoot i'm so sor-" I was cut off by a very familiar face, it took me a second to recognize but when i did i gasped, covering my mouth. "Jordan?" I quickly looked away and started walking away from him, around another aisle. I heard his footsteps behind me, making me pick up my pace. "Jordan? Look let me explain." I snapped around, my short hair following behind. "Explain what? That you... compelled me? What's your excuse for that, Adam?!" I whispered yelled and i noticed him looking intensely at me. Then i remembered, he didn't compel me with his eyes, but his voice. I had my barrier up when he did it. "Fuck! Never mind, don't care." I shut my eyes tight and covered my ears with my hands. "Please leave, please leave, please leave." I begged keeping my eyes closed. "Jordan look it's was a..." His voice was muffled trying to reach me and i shook my head. "No.. i don't care.. Get out of my head." I said teleporting back to Reggie and Cassie, "ready to go?" I asked trying to hide the fact that i'm scared shitless right now. "Yea lets go, we have to get you ready giiiirl." Cassie pulled me to a line called "Self Checkout" and i saw no sign of Adam. Thank God for that, hopefully he wasn't following or lurking though. We finished checking out and hopped back in the car. "So i'm thinking, we get this stinker home, touch up her hair, we get her some sick shit to wear, and she goes on her datteeee." Reggie squealed like a child making me laugh. "I'm so down, but what do i wear?" "Well you don't want to look like too much, so i say grey sweats and a nice top that matches your hair?" Cassie asked and i nodded "i know nothing about fashion anyway, let's just go!" I yelled and Reggie "whooped" as we drove off. Once we got back to our hotel we ran up to our room, mostly it being a race. "No fair! Jordan's the most gifted of us!!" Reggie panted as they caught up to me. "What can i say, i'm one of a kind." I brushed my shoulders and laughed. We got in and Cassie immediately dragged me to the restroom. We had a join room so we could get some privacy and Reggie went to his. "If you need me, just scream bloody murder!" He yelled from his room making me laugh. "So how do you want to do this? Just ends or whole hair?" Cassie started to wet my hair with a spray bottle. "Hm, i'm thinking we just fuck it and go whole head, i mean it's just hair, right?" I chuckled opening the boxes. "True, but since we don't grow hair as fast, because ya know we're special." She winked and smiled. That was a big upgrade. We didn't grow a lot of body hair besides our head that took a pretty long time to grow as well. We also never got what they call pimples or acne or periods. But i heard they're devilish things i'm grateful for not having. "Fuck it let's do this baby." I smiled and grabbed the bleach. "I also don't know how to do this so i'm gonna need you to take the wheel ma'am." I referred to Cassie making her chuckle. "So basically you put this in your hair, making it blonde aka what Reg is doing, wait about an hour then the teal will be added. And while we got yours we can do Reggies and pick your fit. We can do mine after yours is done, deal?" I nodded and we jumped right into it. Two hours later, a whole tun of hair dye, and a messy hotel room later, my hair was a bright teal color, cut shorter than before, with different layers of teal, and a semi dark blue but my roots still dark brown. Cassie had a light soft pink at her roots and a darker pink on her ends and damn did it look good on her. Right now, was the first time i would be seeing myself in the mirror. And man was i scared as shit. "Girl you look hot." Cassie said after taking her hands off my eyes. I looked up and gasped, covering my mouth with my hands. I didn't recognize myself. Yet i felt like a new me had opened up. I felt powerful, a similar feeling to when i met Reggie. Like a new part of my life unlocked. "I love it." I whispered and tackled Cassie and Reggie "you guys are the best! I love it! Thank you!!" I squealed and jumped up and down. "Woah, Jordan's thanking us? Did the chemicals get to your head girl?" Reggie asked in a playful tone. "I don't think so but i do feel more powerful." Reggie clapped for me "i will await your new power in about thirty minutes." He said in a british accent. He had the top of his head a dirty blonde that suited him pretty well. Holy shit, what time is it?! "Cassie! Time!" She whipped her phone out and read "12:30 ma'am" she saluted. "Oh shit, i gotta go!" I ran to the restroom and put the outfit on that Cassie bought me. It was black ripped jeans with a black band tee that a knew absolutely nothing about. But it had the same color of my hair in it so it looked cool. It wasn't really my style yet so i added whats called a wallet chain. Don't worry i don't know why it's called that either. And a single cross chain necklace i've had since my mother that i only took off for 'experiences', my bracelet from Sammy, some shoes called Dr Martins, and a new ring Reggie and Cassie got me in celebration for helping them, it was a small rose that wrapped around my finger in a perfect silver. I was rushing out when Cassie stopped me "missy take a jacket please." She said in a motherly tone and handed me a zip up jacket. "Thanks loves, i'll be back soon! Love y'all!" I waved drawling a circle with my hands seeing a yellow shiny flame ring appear under me and i hopped in smiling.
