Beautiful You (A Vinny Castronovo Love Story) *Completed*

Chapter Nineteen

(Gabrielle's POV ; 12 days later)

I woke up with a weird feeling in my stomach.... TODAY WAS GRADUATION. I rolled out of bed, and excitedly walked into my bathroom, careful not to wake the other girls. I was always first to get up. Always. I showered, and then yelled for the others to get up. They did, and they were just as excited as I was. Today was a half day, so we had graduation, and then we could go home. And tomorrow was the last day of school, and then tomorrow night is banquet!!! EEEPPP. I quickly blow dried my hair, and then curled it all to the right side. This was my signature look for special occasions, and everybody knew it. I waited for the rest of the girls to get their hair and make up done before I put on my dress. This was gonna be so epic! Vinny requested that I send him several pictures of myself in my dress, just so he can make sure it's "appropriate". I couldn't help but laugh at the thought, he's so adorable. Finally all the girls finished, and we all put on our dresses. I must say, we all looked really good. We all drove down to NYC on Sunday and picked out dresses from Sherri Hill, the best dress designer on this Earth, in my opinion. My dress was coral, and it was strapless. It had silver gems all over the top, and it ran to my mid thigh. I had to admit, I looked pretty good. All the girls and I walked outside, and their parents teared up, which made me feel awkward. They quickly realized that and wiped at their tears, and began ordering us to pose. We got into order, shortest to tallest, me being at the front, even with heels on I was the shotest. We all posed and what not, and then the parents left to get good parking spots at school. They had rented us a purple limo, because we're spoiled like that. Even thought my parents hardly even pay attention to my existence. "Hey wait, will one of you take a picture of my real quick for Vinny?" I laughed. "I will!!!" Melinda took my iPhone, and  snapped a pic of me. I laughed, and took my phone back, and sent it to Vinny, and said:

Do I look okay???

Suddenly my ringtone went off, signaling Vinny was calling me. I answered happily. "Ello!" "Hey gorgeous!" Vinny said happily. "Do I look alright?" I asked. "You llok more than alright, you look beautiful. Oh, and you go to my old middle school, right?" Vinny asked. "Yesiree. Why?" I asked. "No reason. Okay good luck today! I know you'll be getting that Highest Honors award." Vinny said. "Thanks baby! I love you and I'll see you tomorrow!" I said. "I love you too! Bye!" Vinny said, and I hung up. Vinny knew how badly I wanted this highest honors award, if you won that basically it was saying you were the most hardworking and loyal student in the whole class, and it also came with scholarship money, which is never bad. It would look so good on my record, and all my school career, I've worked hard. Anyone will tell you that. I don't want to sound cocky or self conceited... But I deserved that award. We all piled into the limo, and drove to our school, and went with the rest of our class in our correct seats. As the ceremony started, they first off congratulated all of us, and all the usual crap. Then, came the highest honors award. As they went through what the student had to do to earn it, I felt butterflies in my stomach. I locked hands with Krissy who was sitting next to me, and we closed our eyes as we waited to hear who won. "And, it is my honor to present this award to.... Gabrielle Adams!" I opened my eyes, and stood up.... I WON IT. I walked on to stage, and accepted the award, hugging all my teachers and the principal. As I looked out into the crowd, I noticed a boy in the very back standing up, and cheering extra loudly. I smiled at the realization of who it was. It was Vinny....
