Lies 1-50

"Eh... I don't know if I like it or not... It's a bit BRIGHT." Skinner said as he pushed his fingers through his hair.

"I love it and you're keeping it!" I said as I washed the dye off of my hands. It poured out of my skin in bright waves, but the skin was still a little colorful after I dried them. I stared in the mirror at my hair and took the scissors off the shelf. I snipped away some of the front ends and I cut out bangs to hide my eyes.

"What are you doing?" Skinner asked.

"I'm cutting my hair for once in my life. Can I borrow your dye?"

"Sure, I have black, red, blue, purple, yellow, green, orange, light brown... I think I have some more but I can't remember. Use whatever you'd like."

"Thanks."

I opened up his bag and took out the blue-black and purple. It was a nice bright shade of purple that complimented the black nicely. I dyed my bangs the purple and the rest of my hair black. It looked amazing after I washed it and straightened it.

"NOAH!" I called.

"Yeah Charlotte?"

He was sitting on the couch watching a movie on TV.

"Look!" I said in an excited manner.

He turned around and his jaw dropped. "That looks amazing! Wow, the purple looks great!"

"Aw, thanks so much Noah." I sat next to him and kissed his cheek.

"WOW CHARLOTTE!" Levi screamed, "MAKE MY HAIR THAT PRETTY BLACK COLOR!"

"I would love too." I stated simply and got up from the couch to help him out.

We walked to the bathroom which was painted blue and He sat down on the stool. I took the dye bowl I was using and washed it out in the bathroom sink. I squirted in the black dye and grabbed the brush and his hair to start dying it.

"So what's going on?" Levi asked.

"Nothing in particular."

"No?"

"No, not really. How about you?"

I painted a strand of his hair in one sweep and let it fall to his head.

"On of my best friend's is getting married, and he didn't tell me until this morning."

"Oh." I had assumed they all knew about it, I was wearing my ring and I had talked to Noah about the wedding in front of them before.

"Yeah."

"I'm sorry Levi, I just assumed you knew."

"No, I didn't know. I'm always the last to know. Hey can I talk to you?"

"Sure, about what?"

"Nothing really... I'm just kind of worried about the band. What's going to happen if you break up?"

I started laughing, "You'd have to find a new guitarist I suppose."

"Seriously!" He said with a smile.

"I am serious. I wouldn't ever stop talking to you guys, but it would be awkward to be in the band."

"Oh, okay,"He said, abruptly ending the conversation," Hey Char? Do you want to paint my room for me? I don't feel like painting it myself."

"Sure. What colors do you want?"

"BLACK! And purple. And RED!"

"Okay."

I finished dyeing his hair in silence. I have a feeling we were both worrying about what would happen if Noah and I broke up.

"Charlotte? I would rather make him leave the band than you." He whispered as I put the stuff away like it was a dirty secret. It kind of was.

"Levi don't say that. You wouldn't."

"I would."

I left him alone to wash it out and dry it. I sat next to Noah again, thinking about what Levi said.

"Charlotte, your hair looks so great." Noah said as he put his arm around me.

"Thanks."

"How does a December 12th wedding sound?"

"Why December 12th?" I asked with a smile. Any date was fine with me, I just wanted to know why he chose then.

"Because that's the day my mother died. I want to replace a bad memory with a good one."

"Oh, well... That's a great day. I'm sorry your mother died."

"No, she was an alcoholic. It killed her liver, ultimately killing her."

I put my head on his shoulder and let my eyes sink into the TV screen. Skinner had finally decided to come out of his room and when he did, my mood brightened up. He had a smile on his lips and was saying, "Okay, I like it."

Noah rolled on the floor with laughter and Levi came out of the bathroom to see what was going on. He started laughing too and almost electrocuted himself by dropping the straightener in the water filled sink.

It was because Skinner's hair was yellow.
