Give All the Credit to the Hot Cocoa

Chapter 7: Work

"Ahhhhhh! He asked you! Ahhhh! Wait, what are you gonna wear?!?!?", Claire asked.
"You're right I didn't bring any dresses! I'm not your type of dress girl! Plus I don't have any money and I can barely do makeup!", I said while squeezing my face then drunk hot cocoa.
"Um, hello!! I make clothes! I can make the dress and have it done in three days! Trust me you'll love it! But that's not all, I'm making ALL of our dresses!",Jackie said while starting to get out her fabric, needle, thread, jewels and her sketchbook.
"I see you in purple, Claire in blue and me in black!", she said.
"Isn't that to much work all to be done by Friday?", Claire asked.
"Girl, please! I've made five dresses in two days! I think I can handle this!", Jackie said as an FYI way. Right away she started working.
"Okay, then! Well, sign me up for makeup! I'm really good.", Claire said. In about five minutes I hear ta-da! It was Jackie.
"Aren't they gorgeous?", Jackie asked as she showed us the sketches for our dresses.
"Wow.*gulp*. They.*gulp*. Are. *gulp* I said while gulping down hot cocoa.
"Yeah!", Claire said.
"Thanks, now if you excuse me I must get back to work!", she implied while grabbing more fabric and her glasses.
She was up all night! Literally!! I woke up at 3 am to go to the restroom and she was still working! She almost fell asleep but then found a cup of water and splashed it in her face then got back to work. She had permission to skip her classes as long as someone took the homework to her for her to do. Some other news is I bought a coffee machine but I only use it for hot cocoa. But Claire and Jackie use it for tea and coffee and hot cocoa. I woke up 6 am to make some cocoa then catch up on some homework and as before the girl was still up! She had on beats with blaring music. She was already on her second dress. The first dress was for Claire. It was a blue strapless princess dress with white and dark blue jewels. She was working on a dress now that was a black princess dress with black lace long sleeves as told from Jackie's sketchbook.

"Jackie!! I brought you lunch! Caesar chicken salad sandwich!!!", I said.
Jackie actually was doing homework. She had finally stopped working and was doing homework.
"Thanks", Jackie said. I could see the bags under her eyes. They were so big they could carry my mothers groceries in them.
"You look awful! Sorry.", I said as I sat down next to her.
"It's okay. I've been working so hard on these dresses! I got no sleep last night.", she said.
"Maybe you should take a break and go somewhere! Let's go to the balcony upstairs. I said and started dragging her out of the room.
"Let me go! I'm fine!" I stopped and looked at her.
"Okay! I'm not fine but still!", she whined. As before I kept dragging her till we got to the stairs. She looked at me then the stairs then my back.
"Get on", I said already in position. Jackie climbed on and up we went. I looked through the window to make sure no one was there. I was right. I opened the door as the cold Minnesota air hit our faces.
"Ahhhh! My eyes! The light!", she cried.
"Jackie, the sun isn't even out.", I said panting.
"Oh, yeah!", she said then hopped off my back.
"This is nice. Thanks. But um, class starts in two sooooo you better go.", she exclaimed.
"Shoot!!!", I cried than bolted to class.
"I hope I can finish all my dresses. This means so much to Skyler. I can't let her down. Same with Kaleb. But Paige won't know what hit her when Skyler walks in with my designer dress on." Jackie exclaimed to herself. She turned and walked to the doors to go back to her room.
"Hey. You won't believe my plan to sabotage Skyler and her friends.", Paige said into her phone.
