Every once in a while, everything comes451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVFMGanSmF
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzikSDVWXee
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGaEo3xgLj
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7pH01jHgHq
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqFa3nF41p
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMCbcZVZ5B
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVILBAmAY3c
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfv9xjC8Qw4
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcATywKtzxY
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6dlTPn3leY
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyVnBFmETP
this year’s summer-end.
It took three451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2SJImYFJk4
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIdyUFRji1O
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmpuM9EY5UR
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqnFDhgfOg
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZp3P1hzR9
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWEqLnrVgD2
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF54zlh8Vj
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURxUtfrjwD
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZkj64ez6oj
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3pol0PURYL
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AgoNfnbff
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLb9MsSkOiK
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI6RafEdYJp
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL03kQ988k0
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgKXKoMaSa
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7beQtdZzse
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd8gHvzD82y
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4yMzmZK8D2
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7MokGe6AD
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgy4N66h4w
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXSVNuK9M7B
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9mGF4SKyD
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCvvwQW9NE
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFyRbFGDfq
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiLZhjL9SiQ
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Y5kWJlQIP
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLpmx1qGA3
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBE4pwMPiwA
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGq04lVU3c
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0K832IXfx
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMkb34L7zTC
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6cfSA319X
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmPkrDmcwVs
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQE1zVGgdn5
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqQWM18D6l
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmDCNBGl0Eh
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX14bPdjxV
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ47hkB74mFA
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXN3f0kVInv
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCcY4k5fKi
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiyISUjSs0H
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUYjYJbtb7x
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgIFVYn8zd
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbGGYMUbyRX
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa08pDOjDvf
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4QnqUoJNn6
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡflUnOPmR8o
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVl0jZVL1eg
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOoPgl6gBm5
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmawa88PcCA
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPp9K4gv6L
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfQXX8lXrz
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0YiC18kgM
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNd1RbirXGT
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdpcgrJ42p
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOgDkykZNy
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFR12hL8k1
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNzeHjkOHxR
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNto2pIhvPk
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYQpAmy97iP
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBFIACEVb7
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBV8HDzKxY9
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE9p2WHd4jx
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqPbJbwkp4
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQZouQv8HO
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52WkrvUfi5
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXq6FCVf3fN
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJiJ4lNcKJ
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6PIkeLqbjt
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1i8Ki5JnbW
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9x9mSqIUHI
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKsABXNvtaO
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeRzV5MtuA5
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡma9P0cP34F
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnMzJJmz0j
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUemqRs0gMV
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyzaSrkUqR2
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSAZ4neTY0C
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO0paZn6J5s
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Q9smk1uC2
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 been451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXavJt8bUtN
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0PYCQ7OpZ
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpaitY3ZSz
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ11LdmzcBp4
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqKdliBjvB
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPHs4CMNsM
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZWJeziN96
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGR4Z2lO3G
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyXFyjVwEu
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzu5kxu2jwE
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before451Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCP8PwqRW3
school.
