Gino will be surprised by his friends’ plans.
According to the paragraph, Gino thinks that he is going to study for his Spanish test with his friends. His friends are going to surprise him with a birthday party. He does not know that they are planning the party so Gino will be surprised. We don't know if he will earn a good grade since he will be partying instead of studying. He seems to know where the community center is, and we don't know if he will play music.
