"Gabby did you drink your pills?" Mrs.Ortiz asked, poking her head around the corner.
"Yes Mami" she groaned rolling her eyes.
"I just asking because you need it"
Mrs.Ortiz walked into Gabby's room inspecting the bottles that sat on her dresser.
"The bottles are full, how you taking it if it's full Gabriella?"
"Mom I'm taking it, ok!? I don't need it everyday! That stuff makes me tired and it's making me gain weight"
"Well, you need it. We will go see the psychiatrist next week and I'll tell him"
"Whatever. I need to get ready for this party"
"What are you wearing?"
"A costume" she answered sarcastically.
"Let me see it"
"Uggghhh, I'm never getting out of here"
Gabby opened the closet door and took the costume out laying it across the bed.
"Oh no way you wearing that!" Mrs.Ortiz furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yes I am, there's nothing wrong with it"
"No no way you wearing that, its too much Gabriella"
"I'm wearing it Mom, I paid for it"
"I paid for it. You don't work, and if I would know that you buy this, I would said no way," she motioned with her hands.
"Its not a big deal, what do you want me to dress up like Cinderella or something? I'm not five years old."
Mrs.Ortiz couldn't help but laugh "No but you don't have to show too much skin to everybody Gabriella"
There was a knock on the door.
"Oh that's Valentina. Go get the door Mami"
Mrs.Ortiz went to get the door and Valentina stood before her in her costume. Mrs.Ortiz's mouth hung open as she looked her from head to toe.
"¡Ay Dios Mio! what are you wearing?!"
Valentina laughed "its a costume, I'm Jessie from Toy Story"
Gabby came out the room to see. "Oh my gosh girl! Look at you! Sexy mami"
Mrs.Ortiz shook her head and just as one of her children were coming out the room she redirected them back to their room, not wanting them to see Valentina.
Gabby went to get dressed in her costume and they left for the party, waving Mrs.Ortiz off when she told them to be home by 10.
Larissa, Kendra and Elisha were getting dressed at Larissa's house and making last minute adjustments to their hair and makeup. Kendra was not big on celebrating Halloween, but she let her two friends talk her into going to the party. The party was being thrown at Xavier Rojas' house. He was a popular senior that all the girls wanted to get with and possessed the freedom that many of his peers craved. The party was starting at 7.
