These prompts continue to be quite a challenge, but really fun too. Now we’re getting a glimpse into a character’s childhood.
Prompt: Sylphie (Elemental Magic books 5 and 6): “Mascara? What’s that?”
“Look what I swiped off my mom’s dresser.”
Sylphie took the proffered black stick from her classmate and hopped up onto the edge of the sink counter in the girls bathroom. “Mascara? What’s that?”
Heather gaped at her in stupefaction. “It’s makeup! To make your lashes look long and voluptuous.”
Sylphie arched a dubious brow. “Oh, this is the stuff that gives women raccoon eyes when they cry in movies.”
Heather snatched the tube of mascara back and uncapped it. “No, it’s supposed to be sexy.” She lifted the brush coated in black goop to her eyelashes, but then the bell for third period blared, and her hand jerked. Heather yelped as she hit her eye, which caused it to water and smear the dab of mascara that had painted her cheek.
Sylphie grabbed a paper towel from the dispenser and quickly handed it to her. Yup, raccoon face.
