CHAPTER 3

I was sitting in boring math class listening to the end of the day announcements happy it was the end of the day.

Tryouts for volleyball team are tomorrow after school.  Also starting Thursday tickets for the back to school dance will be on sale at lunch outside the cafeteria . The dance will take place next Friday night from 7:00-9:00 in the school gym. so make sure you get your tickets. And with your teachers permission you are dismissed.

At that last sentence everyone got up and headed for their lockers. I quickly grabbed my backpack and went outside to find Skylar who was already waiting for me.
"Hey you ready to go?" asked Skylar.
"Yep let's go" I replie.

We walk over to Skylar's Red Suzuki side kick and start driving to fabric land.

"So are you gonna go to the dance" asked Skylar curiously.

"I don't know are you?" I ask since I'm undecided whether I want to go or not.

"Ya i'd never miss a dance". 

"Who are you going with?" I inquire.

"I don't know depends who asks me. hey you should ask Kyle!" says Sky in an over exaggerated tone.

"Ugh let me think about that Sky ...no." 

"Oh come on why not" she whines.

"Hmm let's see first of all i'd never have the guts to ask him and second of all i'm pretty sure he just likes me as a friend."

"You don't know that for sure." says Sky pointing out the obvious.

There's a brief silence between the two girls. 

"Is there any one your hoping will ask you?" I ask Skylar.

"Tyler Lunaro seems nice he's also really hot." answered Skylar as we pulled in to fabric land.

Tyler was one of Kyle's friends who was in his band they hadn't decided on a name for there band yet.  Yep Kyle was in a band they hadn't had many gig's yet but they were actually pretty good.  The wrote their own songs which weren't half bad.  Kyle was the lead singer and guitarist but sometimes he played drums instead.  

"I was gonna get some fabric today but I'm just gonna get the dress form and price out some stuff for that dress Lusa wants."

"Okay I'll come in with you" said Skylar.

After I looked around and purchased the dress form we left. Once we arrived at my house I thanked Skylar for the ride and then headed inside.
The second I step inside the house I realize I had forgotten all about Margaret.

"Margaret!" I yell. " I'm home where are you?"
"Is-s-s-s that you Bethany" asks a scared Margaret who's hiding under the kitchen table.
"Yes it's me"
Margaret runs out from under the table and gives me a tight hug "I was scarred" she cries.
"I'm sorry" I say feeling guilty. "I forgot to tell you I was going to be late coming home"
"What's that" asks Margaret as she points at the dress form.
"I'll tell you" I tell her "but you have to promise not to tell mom okay"
"Why can't I tell mommy?"
"Because it's a surprise for her"
"Okay"
"It's called a dress form it's used to make dresses and clothes and stuff." I explained to Margaret. "I'm gonna try to sell dresses to people".
"Can I help!?!?" asked Margaret excitedly.
"Maybe when your older okay"
"Okay" said Margaret sounding disappointed.

I took the dress form and carefully placed it in my room.
Then I took out my sketch pad and began to sketch some new designs.

Around 7 Margaret and I ate dinner. after that Margaret got ready for bed.
"I'm gonna be late coming home tomorrow I need to go to the fabric store again." I tell Margaret.
"Can I come with you!" asked Margaret excitedly.
Not wanting to upset my sister I agreed that Margaret could tag along. A few minutes later we hear the front door creak open, and shut quietly. Then we heard footsteps coming towards our open bedroom door and our mom popped her head in the door. She looked absolutely exhausted.

"Hi girls how was school today?". Asked our mother with a weary smile on her face.
"Great" says Margaret. "we did arts and crafts today!"
"That's wonderful sweetie" says our mother.
"Mom you look exhausted" I proclaime. "You should go to bed..."
"I have to go to work at 7am tomorrow so that's probably a good idea."said our mother with a sigh.
"Okay night mom."  I say.
"Night mommy" said Margaret."i wuv you."
"I love you too." said our mother as she turned and walked to her room.

After our mother walked away I got Margaret to go to sleep and then she went to bed as well.
