  .....Miss Jessica, can you explain in details the message you're trying to pass to your audience through this drawing?

  ....... Please, tell us how you feel about the new endorsement deal you made with the biggest fashion company in the world.. Jessica was about to reply to all these questions when she felt a cold liquid substance all the way from her head to her legs.

  She jerked up from her bed in shock as she realised that she had been dreaming and her mother interrupted her dream by pouring cold water all over her body.

  Ugh mom!!!, She grumbled loudly as she tried to wipe off water from her face.

  Mom!!stop waking me up every morning with cold water, don't you realise it can cause me an heart attack and besides I'm not a morning person.

  One more grumbling from you and I'll empty the remaining water on your head, her mother said.

  Her mother isn't really the strict type but sometimes she has to act strict so her children would not take everything she says as a joke.

  Up!Up! Jessica, her mother said

  Some new deliveries are arriving in my botique today so I would be needing your help.

  Mom!!why me?? Why not Danika or Kyle?, Jessica asked

  Oh!why you?, Of course because you're the lazy one. Your twin sister is so hardworking while your brother is still little.

  Oh come on mom!, She exclaimed hitting her palms on her bed.

  Get up and get ready for work Jessi.

  Mom, I have study time with Daniella today, Jessica lied

  Oh,wow!, Her mother smiled

  Then,cancel your study time with her.

  Her mom gave a strict look before leaving the room.

  Seriously?this is so unfair!, She exclaimed as she face palmed herself.

  She looked to her bedside table to check the time.

  Oh em gee!!11:15am!!!, She quickly stood up from her bed and wore her slippers.

  She tried to smoothen her bed when she realised that she herself turned off her alarm when it rang earlier in the morning.

  Oh no! Jessi!, Finishing her bed she stood straight to walk to her bathroom when she caught sight of herself in her mirror and remembered the dream she was having earlier.

  I looked so beautiful in that dress, I wasn't even chubby like I am now, my hair wasn't curly and messy, my face was so smooth and flawless, reporters were even struggling just to get a picture of me and ask me questions.

  Oh Jessi!, You were born to be a star.

  Still lost in her thoughts, her mom opened her door with full force and stood by the doorway with her arms akimbo.

  Jessi can you tell me why you are not in the bathroom yet?

  Rushing into the bathroom, she shouted, I'm entering the bathroom already.

  Walking down the stairs that led into the living room, Sara thought;

  Such a lazy girl! She's turning 19 with her sister this saturday for goodness sake!

  Entering into the kitchen, she began to think about life, how life has been so cruel, how her husband died in an accident when their son was only six month old.

  Mom?

  Mom?

  Mom!!, Danika shouted

  What!, She replied feeling shocked

  Can I come with you to the botique today??

  Me too. Little Kyle interrupted

  Oh sure! Besides there are new deliveries coming today.

  Ok, we'll go dress up

  And, Dani, tell your sister to be fast!

  Danika left without replying her mom.

  At the botique, Jessica was busy attending to a customer when her mom called her to help in sorting out the deliveries.

  Jessica, hand it over to the sales girl and join me to sort out the deliveries.

  Okay.

  Following her mom to help with the deliveries, she heard the telephone ring.

  Hello? This is "Slay on botique", how can I help you?, She was really surprised at how professional she sounded.

  Oh great!, An elderly woman's voice came through,

  I ordered for a wedding dress some weeks ago and so the delivery is supposed to arrive today but I haven't received it, do you mind if I get it tomorrow?

  Jessica was frustrated already because she didn't know what the woman was talking about?

  Hey, Jessica, Danika interrupted, mom told you not to answer calls because you sound rude, I'll tell on you!

  No you dare not, Jessica blurted out, you dare not or else I wont let you borrow my clothes again.

  No way! Danika pouted her lips.

  Uhhmm!! Hello?, The voice from the telephone came again.

  Mom?, Jessica called, telephone call for you.

  Her mom came rushing to answer the call.

  Hello.....oh yes..... tomorrow????at the wedding?...ok.....don't worry it will be delivered with a gift for the bride.....I'm invited too??, Oh, no problem.... sure.... bye....

  Click!

  Danika and Jessica stared at their mom wondering what the conversation was all about.

  Why are you both staring at me like you would eat me up?

  I'm not doing the delivery tomorrow mom!, Jessica blurted out

  Neither am I mom, Danika followed

  You lazy rats, Sara laughed.

  We would all be doing the delivery together tomorrow.

  What! But why?,they chorused

  Well, the owner of the order said I seem like a nice person and gave me a free invitation to the wedding I'm doing delivery for.

  Oh my God!, Does that mean we can go too? Jessica asked

  Yes, both of you, including Kyle.

  And does that also mean we can dress like princesses?,Danika asked

  Yes, you all can dress however you want!

  Whoa!!, They both exclaimed,

  Can we go home now?, Jessica blurted out.

  Jessi, Dani, before I count 1 to 3, I want to see both of you sorting out the deliveries or else no dinner for you.

  No dinner??mom, we'll do the deliveries, no need to count, they said as they both scrabbled off .
