"I can teach you to apply it. For you I'd think lip gloss and eyeliner. It might be hard to split batches between you and other students though, as you've got a different skin tone."

"Is it expensive?"

"It does trade off against other things I could be doing, but I don't intend to drive a hard bargain."

(Zeke has opinions on how pretty Rebecca is and how she would look good in arbitrary makeup but he’s not sure how to express them in this context without sounding kinda gay.

"No! They're -" Oh dear she is getting sad. "- no, just, I was supposed to wait till I was sixteen. But they like, let me shave my legs and tweeze my eyebrows? They just didn't want me going nuts at Sephora till I was more mature..."

"I guess that's all right, then," she says dubiously. "And they didn't know you were going to school and wouldn't have the chance to go to Sephora when you're sixteen."

Permalink

"It's a boy's name."

Julia hadn't been sure either but she wasn't going to ask. "Boys can wear makeup too!" she says brightly.
