I'm The Secret

Crystalluna's pov
"Guys..erm..I'm not sure about this." I said nervously as Mike pushed my shoulders down so I was in a sitting position. Mike, Vic, and I were in their bathroom. Last week when we went to speak to my mom about the given situation she gave us an idea. I wasn't to keen on it but everyone thought it was a great idea.
"Crystalluna, do you want to be safe or not?" Vic asked putting his hand on his hip.
"I do.."
"Ok then we have to do this. Plus, its like a make over. You'll get new hair and cloths. You'll look different and they won't recognize you."
"It's like the witness protection program but without the po po." Mike smiled.
That was the plan, to make me look different so they won't know who I am.
"But is a piercing and a tattoo really necessary?" I asked.
"Tattoo yes, we have to cover that 'F' up. And you've always wanted a nose piercing. Old Crystal doesn't have a nose piercing."
"You don't have to get the piercing." Vic shrugged as he opened a box of bleach and started reading the instructions.
"I swear If you two fuck up my hair and make me go bald. Both of you are dead and ill shave your head Victor." I warned.
"S'okay, I've bleached my hair before." Mike smiled.
"How come Olivia or Jessica couldn't come and help?"
"Because Jaime and Tony know nothing about cloths. They do." Vic said looking up and messing with my hair. "You have alot of hair..we're gunna need more than one box of this."
"We have four, let me see the instructions." Mike said snatching the paper from Vic.
"Ok let me mix the stuff up and we'll be ready to go!" Vic smiled excitedly. I nodded and watched as he poured powder into four different bottles along with a tube of some jelly looking stuff. Mike was reading the instructions with a stern look on his face. I was a bit scared that they were gunna mess up my hair. Right now my hair was a rich dark chocolate color on top and is ombred down to lighter shades towards the bottom. I really liked it, that's why I didn't want to get rid of it. Blonde is a big step to go.
I was brought back from my thoughts when I heard a snap of gloves. Both Mike and Vic had a bottle in hand and their hands in gloves.
"Ok, do you trust us?" Vic asked looking at me with a huge smile on his face.
"Yes.." I said in a hight pitched voice, the nerves were getting to me.
"Nervous?" Mike smirked.
"Just do it."
"Alright. Hopefully we have enough aluminum foil for this."
"Wait what?"
-
After hours of sitting on the bathroom toilet seat they were finally finished. I just took a shower and quickly walked out to the living room where the guys were.
"Before you take that towel off, dont freak out. There's still one step to go." Mike said nervously.
"What do you mean Mike?" I asked with wide eyes. I ran to the bathroom with the guys behind me. I quickly took the towel off my head, a scream escaping my lips as soon as I did.
"MICHAEL! MI PELO ESTÁ ANARANJADO! MY HAIR IS ORANGE! FUCKING ORANGE!"
"Calm down!" Vic said running towards me with a bottle in hand. His curls were bouncing just an inch below his ears. I would find that adorable but not right now.
Mike was hiding behind him with a small smile.
"It's supposed to do that..get back in the shower and put that in your hair..it gets rid of the orange." Mike spoke softly.
"I swear if it doesn't you are so dead Mike." I glared at him. He tried to make himself smaller in order to fit behind Vic's small frame.
"It will work. Trust me. We put more than enough bleach in there." Vic said putting his hands back to protect Mike.
"You too Victor. Pray this works or ill cut that hair off."
They nodded rapidly assuring that it will work.
"Guys! We're back!" Jaime's yell made me jump. I quickly ran to the bathroom not wanting to be seen by Tony with horrid orange hair.
"Where Crystal? Did you two kill my girlfriend with those chemicals?" I heard Tony ask as I shuffled my cloths off me to get into the shower.
"N-No. She's in the shower. She'll be okay." Vic assured. I stopped listening and hopped in the shower pouring as much of that conditioner on that Vic gave me.
When I was finally done i dried myself and slipped back into Mike's cloths I was given since they threw all of my cloths away. I don't see why, i liked them. They said that California doesn't have those cloths here and that people would tell I'm not from here. People meaning gang members who will be on the look out I guess.
"Oh god." I mumbled when I saw my wet hair in the mirror. They did use more than enough bleach. Enough to make my hair white.
"Nononono." I said as I picked at pieces of my hair.
"Babe? Can I come in?" Tony asked knocking softly on the door. I buried my face in my hands and let out a whine.
"No! It's horrible Tone!"
"Awe c'mon, can't be that bad."
"It is."
"Aver, let me see."
I sighed and glanced at the mirror one last time. My eyebrows were pretty much black and the really contrasted with my hair. I looked even paler than before. God, last time I let Mike or Vic touch my hair.
I opened the door slowly and faced Tony with my eyebrows knitted together and a pout.
"See it horrible Tone." I said.
He stared at me for a while and picked up a piece of my hair, examining it closely.
"Yup. We're over." He shrugged before turning to walk away. I stood there, my eyes wide and my mouth hanging open. What just happened? My hands started shaking and I quickly started panicking.
"I'm kidding!" He laughed running back to me and engulfing me into a hug.
"Tony! That was a dick move! I thought you were serious." I said smacking his arm. He just laughed and shook me in his arms while I pushed him away. He seriously made me think he broke up with me.
"I don't see why you're so mad. It looks nice, I like it. You're like...hmm..you're my Snow White." He said sweetly.
"Tony, she has black hair."
"And? You have white! How did it get that way?" He asked following me to the living room where everyone was.
"The Fuentes'."
"Thought it was gunna be blonde."
"Yeah, well so did I Tony."
I walked Into the living room and angrily sat In between the two brothers who were looking at me wide eyed.
"Mike..this didn't happen to you.." Vic whispered. I sent him the worst glare I could manage making him shut up quickly.
"I swear we were only gone for two hours. Not decades." Jaime said motioning to my hair.
"What?! I like it! Better than blonde." Olivia spoke up. Jessica agreed followed by the rest of them.
"Stop lying. All your fault." I said elbowing both Mike and Vic. They grunted and nodded.
"It's not bad. I promise." Vic said.
"Yeah, nobody has that hair I think. You look o.g." Mike said.
"HA HA HA NICE PUN MIKE!" Tony said sarcastically making us laugh quietly.
"Just whatever. I can deal." I said.
"Why not just dye it again?" Jaime asked.
"Because, her hair will probably fall off from all the dying." Jessica spoke up.
"Duh." Vic said rolling his eyes.
"Ohh."
"Stop trying to get rid of it. I like it. Now lets look at the cloths yeah?" Tony said with a smile. I couldn't help but smile back, his smile was contagious, beautiful.
"Alright, so we noticed that you're old cloths were very delicate." Jessica began as she pulled out items.
"So fucking girly. So we're fixing it." Olivia added. Jessica smiled and rolled her eyes.
"But we're still keeping your sense of style."
"Tony picked most of it actually, he and Jaime were such divas saying that you had to match." Olivia giggled.
"Oh please, we ain't tacky like you two." Jaime said snapping his fingers in a ghetto way. I laughed and nodded.
"Ok then, let me see."
"Alright so first what Olivia picked."Jessica smiled shoving a bag at Olivia who eagerly took it. She tied her burgundy hair into a ponytail and gave a quick wink at Mike who was starring in amusement.
"Okay, so first I find these essential. Always. Flannels." She began and pulled out five flannel shirts. A red one, blue one, grey one, black one, and a brown one. They looked soft from what I could tell, I liked them.
"Tony didnt like these though, but the rest of us did. Plus, they'll go good with the shirts." She said pulling out different crop tops. One of them looked fish net all around, pretty much see through.
"How would I even wear this?" I asked taking a hold of the black fish net crop top.
"With this! Isnt it pretty? Plus it goes awesome with some shorts." Olivia said pulling out a simple black strapless bra.
"Or, just don't wear it at all." Tony said glaring at Olivia who shrugged.
I smiled and went over to sit beside him.
"I like them, looks comfortable." I said before giving her a thank you for picking those out.
"Me next! I got to pick shoes and some other cool stuff!" Jaime said excitedly as he brought his bag up.
"Ok first I got simple grey and red vans since you already have black ones. But look at these!" He said pulling out a pair of vans. They were spiked all over and looked pretty cool, and dangerous.
"Those are awesome." I smiled taking one and examining it.
"Yeah..remind me not to piss you off when you're wearing those." Tony mumbled.
"How about you try and piss me off when I'm wearing these?" I teased.
"Thanks Jaime. Very much. You supplied her with a weapon." Mike spoke up. Jaime ignored him and continued with his stuff. He picked out alot of beanies, snap backs, and a couple of other accessories. I loved them none the less.
Jessica had picked out shorts and pants, as well as some beautiful dresses. She said that since the other went ' anti-girl' she wanted to go all out on girly. She even got me a couple of bows for my hair.
When it was finally Tony's turn he was more than excited.
"Okay, I picked out whatever I liked. Nothing in particular." He said bringing his bag up and standing in front of all of us.
"And uhm..I'm not gunna show half of it because..well it wouldn't be appropriate.." He said while nervously scratching his neck.
"Why?" I asked confused.
"Fuck cloths." Vic spoke up. Everyone laughed quietly but got louder when they noticed my ace going red. When the got quiet again Tony continued.
"Well here. I got this one because, Starwars. Duh." He had a white shirt with a Clone Trooper on it. I rolled my eyes playfully and let him continue.
"And this one..and these jeans because I like the color...and these shorts because of the turtles..and this shirt because it says you have a boyfriend..and all these shirts because I wanted them but it only came in girl sizes.." He trailed off. All of the shirts he pulled out were Starwars or some bands that we liked. It made me laugh when he said he wanted them.
"I'm sure we can share Tone." I joked.
"I know. That's why I got em." He smiled making everyone laugh.
"Oh and these shirts and tank tops and jeans and sweats and shorts because I thought you'd look hot in them. But not too hot. Wait. Never mind...I should go return some of these..." He trailed off examining the cloths more intently. He actually had the biggest pile of clothing infront of him. He had like six bags all in one enormous one.
"Tony, she'll be ok. She's a girl, they're supposed to look like that." Mike chuckled as Tony held up a black shirt close to him.
"Are you guys sure? Isn't it to tight?" He asked worriedly.
"Tone, its tight on you. Not on her." Jessica said.
"Yeah babe, everything you picked is great. All of you guy's things are awesome. Mama will be happy that the money she gave me was worth it." I smiled.
"Except for Mike and Vic. She's just might murder you." I added.
"Ha ha...yeah..so Tony! How about those ducking cloths?" Mike said. Olivia excitedly took a seat next to Mike and stared at Tony.
"No.."Tony said awkwardly. I shook my head in agreement while they whined.
"Aww c'mon. We won't tell!" Jaime whined.
We ignored him and started putting cloths in bags again.
"How about we move this across the street to my apartment building?" I asked. They sighed and agreed.
Good thing I live close to Mike and Jaime's place. Mike decided to Live with Jaime as Vic lives with Tony. I thought it would be odd that the brothers didn't live together but they said they've lived together their whole lives and wanted to mix it up. Not really though since we all lived in the same apartment community. Tony and I didn't live together because well, that's a pretty big step I feel. I just need to make sure I can fully trust him again before we move together, Jaime didn't mind. He and I were gunna share an apartment but it was better that he and Tony did so, here we were.
"Oh shit guys Jess and I have to run. We have job interviews shit shit shit bye guys!" Olivia said quickly before grabbing Jessica's hand and running out the door. We stared as the door slammed shut and looked at each other curiously.
"Well, ok then. There goes our girlfriends. We didn't even get a kiss." Jaime said mocking being offended.
"Wanna hang at the beach?" Mike shrugged.
"We can't, we have some things to sort out. And we have to make an appointment at the tattoo place tomorrow to cover that up." Tony said pointing to my 'F'. Nobody really noticed it until now, when I stopped using tattoo cover up make up.
"Shit, that sucks. It's ok, we'll call some other boys up." Mike said with a smiled. I gave them a thumbs up before we all grabbed bags and started to the door.
Watch out world, Snow White coming through. With new cloths too.
