In the evening that same day, the sat in the living room, watching movies and chatting.
They were all dressed and looking beautiful, waiting for Arnold.
Minutes later, Arnold and aunt Linda c@mÂŁ into the living room.
“Hi.” The girls greeted
“Hmm. You girls are looking elegant. Hope you are all having a great time? ” Aunt Linda said.
The girls giggled to themselves, showing off.
“And before I forget, I will like to recommend that person who created time on cleaning the whole place.
Everywhere is looking so br@nd new. br@vo. ” Aunt Linda said.
Natasha smiled and everyone turned to look at her.
” Shey na you? You for call me make I help you na ” Maria said, smiling too.
Cindy and Becky turned away, hissing silently.
Arnold stood up from his seat look all over at the girls. “You all are looking extremely pretty and I’ve come up with something too.
Yes. It’s the next line of action now for you girls. So, aunt Linda will tell you right now ” Arnold said, smiling at them.
The girls looked at aunt Linda who smiled and cleared her throat. “Although, the winner for the food competition hasn’t been announced yet but we are going to do everything together.
Today is about natural look. Yes. We want to see the natural you. All of you. We want to see what you’ve got behind these heavy makeups.” Aunt Linda said.
” Gbaons!! Ghen ghen ghen ghen!! Halloween night don come!” Maria said, whistling.
There was total silence. Everyone was dead silent that Aunt Linda thought she had said something bad.
“Wake up girls. Chill. Relax. Don’t you trust your natural looks? I want to see your natural hair… Your naturall-ips… Yeah.. natural everything.
Look at Maria. She’s wearing her natural look..that’s what I want you to do.”Arnold said, smiling and tou-ching them one after the other.
Becky looked away,her eyes filled with confusion. The last time she checked,make up had alre-ady been p@rt of her life!
“So, we will be back in an hour to check you girls out. We are waiting. “Aunt Linda said and left with Arnold.
Maria bur-sted into laughter. “See them! Make uping! Una still sit down? Abeg make una go offload!” Maria laughed. As for her, make up wasn’t her thing. She preferred her natural look.
Sighing de-eply, the girls left the living room for their be-drooms.
Natasha was the first to come out looking natural. Her natural hair black and long and she looked just the same.
“Babe you gallant! See as you still fine. Make we see them Mrs makeup maid we see how them go be….. Jesus!!!! “Maria shouted, flying out of her chair.
” What! What is it!” Natasha panicked, and turned around to see what made Maria shout.
She did not nee-d to ask again when her eyes landed on Becky.
“Ewoo!! Ewo!! I don die! Omo see Halloween!! Omo come see Halloween ohhh !!” Maria laughed so ha-rd that tears started to fall off her eye.
“St©p it, Maria! She’s not looking that bad”. Natasha said, trying to control her own outbur-st.
Becky hissed and sat down. Maria continued laughing.
Valerie and Cindy c@mÂŁ out too, looking good in their natural self.
” Na wa oh, make up dey hide confussion oh.” Maria said and everyone bur-sted out, laughing ha-rd .
“I don’t blame you, village witch!” Becky yelled at Maria who only made more fun of her.
“You no see as you be. So na make up dey cover your secret all this days, ba? Ah, your own don finish oh. Ugly muchocho.
“What! How dare you! How dare you call me that!!” Becky shouted and rushed at Maria. Maria flew out of her chair and ran, all the while laughing.
“Ah, onye Ara! She wan take her own kobalize me.
He no go work for you! ” Maria shouted over her shoulder.
She was about opening the door so she would run out when it suddenly opened revea-ling startled looking Arnold and aunt Linda.
“Oh!!” Maria laughed, pretending to be stretching her b©dy. Becky halted to a st©p, smiling and stretching her b©dy too.
“And what’s going on here!” Aunt Linda demanded.
“Oh! Exercise oh! Na exercise!” Maria laughed, sounding like an idiot.
Aunt Linda and Arnold stared at each other and back at Maria.
“Exercise? Inside the living room??” They both chorused.
” Ahh! Yes sir! Na change of environment!” Maria exclaimed.
Arnold stared at Becky, wondering if she was actually the one or not. “This is terrible.”
Behind them, the rest of the girls fell off laughing ha-rd .

“For the winner of natural look, let’s applaud Valerie! ” Aunt Linda announced.
Valerie blu-shed as she fanned herself with her hands even though the AC was on.
“Oh my God! Thanks so much!” Valerie said, hvgging the lady.
Maria’s cl@p was the loudest and out of the corner of his eyes, Arnold was watching her keenly.
They were all sitting in the living room. Once the natural look was over, Becky ran straight into her room and spent hours, repairing her make up.
“Oh Maria. I will so much deal with you. I deal with you to the extent that you will quit this competition!” Becky ranted to herself in the mirror.
She heard laughter behind her.
She turned and saw Cindy standing in the door way. “I’m going to give you an advice my dear. Quit before they quit you. Like…you are getting everything wrong. You don’t look good without makeup. You don’t even Know how to cook. Just quit it!” Cindy said sweetly.
Becky sh0t up,her face a mask of anger and irritation. “And how dare you speak to me in such manners! Do you girls even Know who I am!!” Becky screamed
” Yuck! I don’t care. Like…re-ad myl-ips. I. Don’t. Care.!” Cindy said,hissed and walked to her be-d.
Becky watched her as she walked, thinking about what to do to her. Smiling suddenly,she sat back down, happy at her scheme.

That night,Becky sneaked into Cindy’s stuff and found out she had alre-ady gotten an outfit for tommorow.
She opened a little box and pu-ll-ed out two insects them dropped them into the clothes. Smiling, she quic-kly went back to be-d, laughing ha-rd inside her.
By tommorow,Cindy would dance a free disco dance!!
The next morning, Valerie made her own food and also pas-sed but when the winner was announced,it was Maria who won. She felt on t©p of the world!
Natasha was happy for her. There was a chance she would be the winner even though so local, Arnold had started paying her some unnecessary attention.
Gerald was dumbfounded when she saw Becky walking toward him with a bunch of clothes. “And…what are those?” He stammered. Hope it isn’t what he’s thinking!!
“Such a question. No. They are money. You see me bringing dirty clothes to you and you are asking me what they are.” Becky taunted, dropping the clothes at his feet.
” So ..what should I do with them?” Gerald asked stupidly.
” Use it and build a very big house!”Becky shouted at him,hissed and walked back majestically into the main building.
“Oh God! Oh God!, This is not happening…no.
..it’s not happening..this has to st©p.. right now!” Gerald was still fuming when he saw Cindy walking towards him with a larger bulk.
Chai! I’m finished!
“Hello! I will be so nice with you. So I brou-ght this little clothes for you to wash them.
plea-se don’t scru-b ha-rd so the fabric won’t get loose. Hurry up plea-se. The sun is very high. Hmm.” Cindy said, win-ked at him and left too.
” God..just take my life!” Gerald felt like crying. He thought he was going to faint when he saw Valerie coming with her own.
“Don’t give me that look. Mine isn’t so large.
Just help me wash them. I will do the spre-ading.
My hands hurt else I would have washed them myself. Thanks in advance.” Valerie said and left.
Dropping to the chair beside his door, Gerald felt like coll@psing.
Looking up,he saw Maria coming with her own clothes. Now he thought he would really die!
But Maria stood instead, watching him and looking at the bunch of clothes on the floor. “Bros,na who drop all these one here?” She queried.
Gerald stood up, st©pping to reason her question. “The girls…. aren’t you here to give me your own too? Just drop them there!”
Maria laughed. ” Shoo? Make I drop my cloth? I dey craze?
Why I go allow man wash my clothes for me? Infact all those people wey drop cloth for you here dey mad.
Them they craze. Their village people don dey pound fufu for their head. Their ancestors don dey collect rituals from their br@in.
Aunty Linda talk say make we carry clothe come give you. Me I no no why she talk like that oh.
But as for me,I go wash my clothes by myself. Thank you.
Inanu??” Maria said and went back with her clothes.
Behind her, Gerald smiled, applauding her silently.
He quic-kly sat back down when he saw Natasha approaching with her own clothes. “Are you here to drop yours too? Just drop it there.”
“And why should I? God,this girls aren’t serious.
Why should they really drop these clothes with you just because aunt Linda said to do so?
They’ve got no shame at all and you…don’t you dare wash these things! I’m getting it back to them right now.
They should wash their clothes by themselves!” Natasha was really furious and it amazed Gerald.
Gerald smiled looking at her. “Are you angry because they asked me to wash their clothes?”
” Yes I am! They shouldn’t have! I’m getting it back to them right now!!” Natasha yelled.
” Yes oh!! Now now now! This girls no get s-en-se!” Maria said, rushing towards them again.
Bending down,she packed a armful of the clothes while Natasha packed the rest and together they marched back inside the house.
“Oya!! Where Dem dey!, Shameless she goats!, Una pack clothes go give man!, A gate man for that matter! Chai,una br@in don knock!” Maria yelled at the girls and flung the clothes on them.
They were all in the living room, waiting for their clothes to get washed.
“Yuck! That stinks! How dare you!”Becky shouted, pushing away the clothes.
“You girls aren’t getting this. How could you give your clothes to that guy!” Natasha said, bewildered.
” Oh really? Why are you do concerned about him? Maybe you are beginning to fall for him!” Cindy shouted
” You dey craze. If she fall for an,shey na your papa she fall for? Abeg make una carry una self go wash una clothes joor. Shameless people.”
Maria said and quic-kly exited the building before they would gang up and beat her.
