Every once in a while, everything comes293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzrp2pOnaXS
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE0ZyVfjPdq
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDmYvyB3zcY
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOE8qUNdxzQ
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2aRHSCJQNw
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAyDafF5Tw
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1MdzGg21e
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJBXuscB3u
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EQSvj7GOu
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicmqdcEjTG
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLJzOrLQhU
this year’s summer-end.
It took three293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0WzoBAhA4
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwllgcrsSZL
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAzRZnVTeA7
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwQJcnI6mKA
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKZ93h8Z7C
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQdbBt89wu
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSUHAVx9SWs
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUM1Sk7cAwV
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeW95n2lq5X
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWQrZSLQlk
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUFYqlykxC
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJVIVVvpFH5
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjZfveRY2eC
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0aewfNgsF
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvxV1i6Fjnq
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmsSSkkbWjJ
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIl1OSFp6dD
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDvPaS14be
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjIeIMsGp9
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtE3pvWq9l1
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvF44lwg3u
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8jIRrhH4Hb
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEzX53pZauV
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEi6zJfqudL
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEmppPfy3p
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc0xsODyHvO
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2u5K73fmTl
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡww8NVqP0Of
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡROZvR9HKHl
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj30Q5c2OsF
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfPkt0rCEZX
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZU7ADxW7V
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76BY41N3Kg
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRU30XdvHoU
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdVaznsOPuY
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyrNYsuVe8
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW7rEFz4lmE
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmCh22EPLRM
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4nQTJfz08H
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3GAdQlz083
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5W7gxo3BXb
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dvZwv1MT6
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiHoNyndS9m
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfrmVJfK8HR
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡABRR9FsWKP
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ784IV3RIV8
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOB9KporuqZ
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZmvtU27iz
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOSnme4zglW
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrELq3RNYQt
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBBs7tQyaF
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrgOe0ytuuq
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnYWJJBJOb
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG1i1sylCz
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbQohSj3KO
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pY0l5qxSC
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5PHBGnikE
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPoDD98LRaV
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMs5f7j2c4
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLPSNzQiXZP
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT307WNrk1p
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdpc64SQFd
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRDwmv8ASZ
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEXqa6pOLpm
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqKGa3mbob
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCc2czUb1Gn
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3U2ItCkYQ
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKtPlIh1XGP
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOQUmoUgV2M
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgCxEEyHNGj
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAXs7Cr7BBB
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6x7t4jnqiw
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Wvwm4kwQh
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBPUfevZ4x
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3v6jgdPT7R
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKiVi30rvCS
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEj5t6g2Wbu
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlCe2YOkwm
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtTxwo3Je71
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxUI03aVWci
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 been293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrXgaBNDt5D
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCim5PMJJ2V
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQELY5tyGjI
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3b8vcGKoM
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxS6stSigE
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ83v186r9AR
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82uwJaKfRA
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbgjmhcvK2
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKGyYkZdmbY
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusPS0GVfjN
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before293Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeHPtqFOtk8
school.
