Chapter Three
Beep-beep!
Sky groaned as she carefully trudged out of bed the next morning. She glanced at the clock. 6:00 a.m....whoa!
6:00 A.M.!? She never gets up this early, unless-
"JASMINE!"
The raven haired 23 year old popped her head in the room.
"What - oh good, you're up".
Sky glared. "Yeah! I'm not working today!"
"I know. Did you forget? Today is your very first day, of being my-
Sky groaned. "Assistant, I know, I know".
Jasmine grinned. "C'mon! Meet me downstairs in half an hour, k?"
Before Sky could respond, the raven haired girl was out the room.
Sky groaned. This job was gonna be HELL, she could just feel it happening already!
Two buses and a subway later, the sisters were finally outside the building for People magazine, one of the 1st photo shoots they would be dressing Hanson in. Seeing all this happening at once made Sky feel a little queasy inside. But Jasmine seemed confident.
Too confident.
It made Sky vomit the way she flounced up to the front desk for which room they needed to meet the boys in. As she walked back towards Sky she tossed her a pass. "Room 214", she stated.
As they headed up in the elevator, Skylar couldn't help but notice how fancy the elevator was. If it's this fancy, Skylar thought. I better not break anything!
Outside the door, Jasmine unknowingly grabbed Sky's arm.
Sky turned. "What are you doing?"
"Aren't you nervous??" Jasmine asked.
Sky rolled her eyes. "Not really. Let go! Your nails are starting to kill me!"
"I don't see why you're not excited about this, Sky!"
"Because, I'm not! Now knock!"
Jasmine threw a sideways glance. She carefully knocked.
A middle aged man flew open the door. "Yes?"
Jasmine grinned. "Uh, hi! I'm Jasmine Solese, and this is my younger sister, Skylar. We're part of Hanson's wardrobe team".
The man looked confused before he knew what she was talking about. "Oh yes! The recepiant downstairs told me you were coming an hour early! Please, do come in!"
Ushering them inside, the man shut the dorr behind them.
"Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Carson Kressley. I'm one of the head wardrobe here at People."
.
Jas smiled her '100 dollar smile' again. "Pleasure".
Carson smiled. "So, you two can take off your coats, and just get yourselves ready. I assume you are familiar with Hanson's style?"
Sky blushed. "Um, no actually. We're meeting them for the first time today".
Carson grinned. "Oh, newbies! How exciting! Well if you excuse me ladies, I must go help set up the lighting".
Jasmine smiled. "Of course! Go ahead".
After he left, Jasmine turned to her sister. "OhmiGOD!"
Sky rolled her eyes. "Oh c'mon , Jas! He's just a normal person, like you and me...and Hanson".
Jasmine opened her mouth to protest, but she was interrupted by a knocking on the door. "That must be them!"
Sky grimaced. "Jas, just get the door".
"Why can't you? I've been shooting my mouth off for most of the time!"
Sky rolled her eyes. "Fine! You owe me!"
Suddenly, a loud buzz came from Jasmine's pocket. She whipped out her phone. "It's Lamar. Be right back".
The knocking started again. "Be right there". Sky called. She carefully ran her fingers through her light brown hair, before opening the door.
