Asher & Julia| 16+✔️

Chapter 79

Julia's POV

I sip my wine listening to the man speak a load of nonsense, I'm trying my hardest to be interested in the guys I've been on dates with but they all say the same thing that is slowly making me want to change my appearance...most importantly my hair. No one seems to like my flaming red hair except me, Asher liked it but he seems to be the only guy that has actually liked my hair. Glen hated it and called it childish.

"So do you work in a theatre?" Mitch...i think his name is, he works with Angel and I official fire her from setting me up on blind dates. 

"What makes you think that?", I ask tilting my head as my elbows rest on the table in this fancy restaurant. 

"Cause some people change their hair to drastic colours to fit their role and since it's you know..silly for a woman your age i would have thought It was for a role, you look like you're involved with theatre", did he just imply i look like a clown?

I sigh looking down, yet another guy that has insulted me about my hair. I'm glad I'm leaving tomorrow morning for Texas to spend time with Camila and a few others at a cabin, Aiden will be there and I've missed him so much. Camila told me her and Ace have been having problems since he's been back, he found out she kissed Brad, his brother when he was missing. She knows it was wrong and she was crying over facetime to me saying he won't forgive her but a couple of days ago she invited me to this cabin her friend Heather invited her too along with everyone else which I'm guessing they've worked through their troubles to be spending a weekend away with friends. I know Asher will be there and we've spoken a few times when Ace was gone but not recently, I'm sure we can hang around each other like friends. 

"Nope, I'm not in theatre...I just like the colour red", I stare at him and watch as his face turns a blush pink. I'm done being nice as they make me feel low about my appearance. 

"Oh, I'm sorry. I just thought having a hair colour like that is for someone wanting to be the center...of attention", he says the latter part quieter realising how much of a dickhead he sounds. 

"I had a great time but I have an early flight tomorrow and I don't want to be insulted so..thank you for dinner and have a great evening" I stand up and walk out before he can get a word in. It's so humiliating having every guy you go on a date with comment on your hair colour or the way you dress..I thought I looked hot when leaving for the date...I guess not. 

When I get back into my dark apartment I head to my room and flick on the lamp to lighten my room, I look towards the fluffy red cushion on my bed that I've had since high school and all through college. I sit down on the bed and take off my boots looking at the mirror that slides to open my wardrobe. I stare at my reflection as the thought of maybe I should change my hair and I wouldn't get so much stick about it. Maybe it would be easier to go back to my dull brown hair despite the fact that I love my red hair. I huff quietly and tie it up into a messy bun before opening my wardrobe to take out pyjamas. If I look at my reflection any longer I'll probably cry and find over a million flaws. I turn off my lamp and curl under my duvet getting an early night, I have a flight tomorrow and a long road trip to the cabin. I can't wait to see my best friend again, along with Aiden and everyone else.

We're on the road to this cabin or something that Camila said Heather gushed about, I'm in the car with Aiden listening to music and eating far to many snacks like we used to in college, it feels amazing sitting in the car having the warm wind blowing through my red locks that everyone hates. Camila, Ace, Asher, Callum and Callum's fiance Christian is in the same car in front of us and in front of them is Heather and Frankie which I haven't met properly yet, only talked for a while before setting off on the road.
