{21} Arista POV

We finished eating some pancakes Dan made us. Caroline and I gathered all the things we needed for the party and locked ourselves in Phil's bedroom. No boys were allowed to see us until we were done.

"So let me see your dress." Caroline commanded. I took my dress out of the sleeve and showed her. Her eyes grew big and her jaw dropped. She grabbed the dress and exaimined it all around. "Dan bought this for you??" She asked, her face still in awe. "..Yea." I blushed. I now felt bad for letting him buying me something so expensive. 

"Well I better make you look perfect, put it on." She smiled at me. I put the dress on so fast because I was unbelievably excited. "Looks great." She winked in a joking way. She put on her elegant red ballroom gown. We walked over to her makeup/hair set up in the corner of Phil's room. She motioned for me to sit so she could start on my hair.

"Well this is a ball so we need elegant up-dues. I was thinking one of those french braid buns for you? With some curls hanging out." She suggested. I didn't know what that was but I nodded in agreement anyways. I assumed she knew what she was doing. 

She brushed all the knots out of my long hair. There wasnt many but for Caroline everything had to be perfect. We turned up some music way louder than it needed to be. Dan had to bang on the doors a few times because he couldnt "Concentrate on his video games." We were cracking jokes and laughing histerically the whole time. It was honestly one of the funnest moments of my life. After about an hour or so she was finally done.

"Ready to see?" She gave me a mysterious smile. "Yes!" I cheered. She turned my chair towards the mirror and my jaw dropped. I stood up to get a better look.  "I-Is This even me..?" My eyes gleamed in wonder. My hair was elegantly tied back into a bun, with a french brain on top. It wasnt a messy bun, it was beautiful. The strands of hair that fell down her curled perfectly. The white dress made my skin look tanner than it was, and I felt beautiful. I felt tears come to my eyes. "Dont cry! I already  did your makeup!" Caroline shouted. I laughed "I'm not going to cry but, thank you. I look beautiful. You're amazing." We hugged and my heart filled with joy.

"Now I just have to get ready." Caroline pulled away from the hug. "You cant go out until I'm done though." She pulled me into the chair next to her, She turned up more music and got out supplies for her hair and makeup. She began to get ready and I sang along with the music to entertain myself.

Before I knew it Caroline was done too. Her hair was pulled into a saucy side bun that complimented her dress. She looked like a salsa dancer, but also like a princess. "You look amazing!" I gasped. "WE look amazing." She corrected me. She linlked her arm with mine and we glided towards the door. "DAN PHIL COME HERE WE'RE READY." Caroline called, as we still stood behind the door. I heard footsteps running to outside of the door. "Hurry up and come out! I've been dying to see you two all day!" I heard Dan say. "Three- Two- One!" We counted off. 

At the moment we shouted one, we flung the door open. My eyes first went to see Dans reaction. His eyes were tightly closed and he slowly peeked open. As soon as he saw me his jaw dropped. His eyes seemed to gleam brighter than any star i'd ever seen. He made me blush. "You okay Dan?" I laughed going over to him. "You-... Wow." Was all he could say. I planted a kiss on his lips. "You look beautiful." He whispered as we pulled apart. I winked at him before turning to see Caroline and Phil. 

"You look great." Phil awkwardly smiled at me. I smiled back, I still felt like he didnt like me. I walked over to stand by Caroline again. I looked over to see Dan still couldnt take his eyes off me. "Take a picture!!" Caroline begged. Dan and Phil both took out their phones at the same time. We got together and smiled for a few pictures. "Well you two better go get ready or we'll be late!" Caroline fake shewed them both. "Oh I forgot to mention its a mascarade party so I got you a mask. I'll show you later." Dan told me before walking into his room to get ready.
