Every once in a while, everything comes236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfeDpg4Q1lp
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡejQGCIc8vy
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEeFmYezsCW
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNEo9t2kmPu
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6HePWvZAIK
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡja0ZPs0DoW
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkHMNTHXb2
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7wKDZ2KaQ
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83PI9lDRxp
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBWURISOwM3
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyD3WBxpD3
this year’s summer-end.
It took three236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpUqbQnu52
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYOh3QXxrNc
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRLzIyCs19
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E2CoMoQe0
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfx7O9lHk8
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70PzTictyg
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKULWLDPli
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQqOIZps4E
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUGFMclyqn
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzB8R3PTj97
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhjhWXrZuK1
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFW9FN9IP4
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEAEBcNdSLa
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUUnIb3h2z
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CyGDtEgQd
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNH5k119ojl
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5eZtygoLS2
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CC0CnhdJO
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYimJ0oDwM
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG0tYIrPxhC
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVFk1EpN2DY
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcNjoWHAneh
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRIdy17kkTK
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLheYvjxVv
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKeTLurkbO
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmQ3CoAK88
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC0ma7bmnQI
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq37yxuNvE3
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9dVIWLsLQb
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbnWs05v6jg
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVh9i49fIsC
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1NNBzIfdRE
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAp9yQIuTji
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDY83VNfELJ
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb8QM2O76Em
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqbrFDBkWh
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFzxBAQOFL
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO8Oe8Zy08D
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOYSI6F14m
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeq5DrAadI8
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6CJcedpM8E
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfdtsAbtDZ
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡczdoAWz9wo
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRKdA0zG7xX
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYpvFSem4x
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5OGaBJhRD
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TOmElxCjb
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9GSWYrDep
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9P1SG1xY8
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4gIffNl48
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBVdCKPzqwc
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQqtQfdMg6
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFl5YVMJE8X
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2AyFKHgy2
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoUuXBLCOh
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgfDsXaTRIq
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTqf2MlP2Bt
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDeWuFph6D0
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwsvFU18faD
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjv0UfQSSN
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IoDXrPiFh
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCTpVg9pcd
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1fIQcUAKy1
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡimFXsNTXjS
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4XA8GkUEs
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyXUzA7heZw
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl2QrgqScSd
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoIi04Cz4JN
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWWOAuyZFE
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGaNcdKEEM
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv863sMXqGx
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzoXJxU9Uj
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobZINKxIax
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjSZTD4Q1N
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvuuNtSjOZU
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBrmyIQFJUe
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWdVpBDTPY9
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKBOY6qnC7e
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hKohPfHH5
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7bGiYgcito
dance, plus we’re only close friends” I replied,
“Yeah Anna, they’re just ‘friends’” Neely giggled,
We sat and talked about how summer has been236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHL7CEbGOHP
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOReTKgZVqx
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SrRfGycEZ
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3FzSm4UFJA
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobbi8MaKx0
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5aCwrVrxN
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyzyEfjYTU
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdjbULqDDJ
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4oSuVp6ltO
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNHbh8GuUbp
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before236Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuj34SblJQ
school.
