Above is a picture of her (GABRIELLA) dress.
WES' POV:
"Raise the banner higher!....no lower. No raise it high, it's not straight. Raise the two sides higher!"
"Send for the cake, the party is starting in two hours. I want everything set, this is my sister's sweet sixteen we're talking about."
"I want everything to be perfect!"
I am never doing this again. Next year, we're hiring a party planner. Who knew doing a party was hard?
"PINK?"
I turned and saw Jake, already dressed.
"You're here early." I said then faced my checklist.
"I just wanted to see how the place is. And what you've done. Dude, this is amazing."
"I carried it from my mom." I bragged without looking at him.
"But there's one problem."
"What?"
"I don't think Gabriella is a pinky kind of girl."
"Of course she is. Who doesn't like pink?" I argued with a frown on my face as I looked at him.
"Probably Gabriella." He shrugged. "Well, it's too late to change anything. The party's starting in two hours and this took days to set up so let's just leave it like that."

GABRIELLA'S POV:
****Two Hours Later****
****LOCATION: Party Venue****
"Happy Birthday Gabriella."
"Wow you look so beautiful."
"Happy sweet sixteen."
"You're finally fully becoming a young woman."
"God bless your new age."
"Wish you nothing but the best!"
"You dress is absolutely beautiful."
"You look stunning as ever!"
"Belesima!"
"You're really a diamond mi amor!"

WES! WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED?
DID YOU INVITE THE WHOLE WORLD?!
And dammmmnnnnnnn, this hall is bigggggggggggggg.
"André where is Wes?" I said once I found André with Italy.
He just looked at me without saying anything.
"Take a picture, it'll last longer!" I lashed at him.
"Hey what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry." I heaved a sigh. "It's just, there are a lot of people here and most I haven't socialized with them. I know them but-"
"I understand." He tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear. "Wes really went all out."
"Yes he did. And I'm not really okay with this. I haven't handled this kind of crowd since I was little. Recently, my birthdays have just been very casual, well, beside last year which was my quinceara. There was no compromise with Abuela last year. It had to be grand - those were her wishes. It's like I'm redoing the birthday again. I'm in a very big pink and princessy ballgown, plus my hair, makeup, my shoe. By the way André please be with me at all times, the heel is very high." I locked my arms with him.
