"It's makeup." She answered coolly, as if she never did a thing.
"Hey! All my face has changed, I don’t look like me." I frowned, still looking in the mirror at myself.

I looked at their faces. "This isn't for you two, it's for Tayo." "What's it?" Tayo asked. I turned my back and pulled my hair to the front "The tattoo."
