At this point puberty remembered me, my second year in secondary school, all I cared about was class, playing football, and eating, the first year smell amongst new students were beginning to reduce because we have started to adapt to life without family members, we now know the stigmatisation of putting on a smelly clothe, or putting on a damp uniform, or not brushing ur teeth(common among the boys), or not washing ur socks for class the next day. So in essence, in our second year, we have become self conscious, while my mates were beginning to use white powder on their faces before leaving the hostel, I wld rather run off to the field so I cld be picked for football team for the afternoon. At this point a little body spray and roll on were now part of my monthly provision. So I smell nice now.
When I realised that my friends were using lip gloss and white powders on their faces. I decided to join them because I felt different. On my first day of makeup,after siesta before games, I used it and when for prep, before I knew it everyone was asking my, what wrong with ur face? I used someone's mirror to check my face, and realised that the powered had mixed up with sweat and now looked like someone with pigmentation, I felt do ashamed and started to wipe it with my sports shirt, now my shirt was white, my face wax white, my eyes were red,, ugly ugly ugly....... this was the reason why I now hate white powder,, I was a rebel in secondary school, so I hit myself a brown powder and a pink lipstick.... (the bad was on) Hello bad, goodbye good. I guess the good didn't even last that long right????????
