Every once in a while, everything comes449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGyXC0apJt0
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKFOn6Wqvm
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcaLy2hcQRn
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKEg5D3P560
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfwkmAZSCk
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlslsgoOTWF
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHMX19pYO36
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwz8U1sARk
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQlYWzclBeC
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ31aFBV5r2C
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjDU6TCZy4u
this year’s summer-end.
It took three449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe6GUs8HtLz
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRNzArCXT82
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxzzJdRGVFg
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq3P2cSSr0Q
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwABfVzQds1
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpSKTuaFPgE
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx3rhwnntw
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjvxDJCDbR
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRhLEZI1ul
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKPQ83v8Y20
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrCnPKm4kfU
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlLUTEaSnga
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqySbu3U8g
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZiey1OXfj
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd5jDJOyFKT
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzt87OZgOw4
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ85hi3iRikb
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0AspAsUv3
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5TflCOg3yM
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGUpqcgjcn
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIeiWDaVDgh
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyiK6R8OiC6
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV2Naof4CgW
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7a5Nb4lmfC
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyI6n9kFs6C
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8iC0Uegxmr
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy1jF9SsBAC
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn0SofbIoL
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSmZwKkebR
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkBm7i9eOst
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8pK60c7CW
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf6LGhLVWD6
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXqu6Qn0ElT
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8H9oZR8SPn
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR723HLDHMI
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTg83JhleJ
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYsg39scqo
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34GhVyIWBo
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ubOesLpym
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl7OCbs7l4Y
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1rNoEyCfq
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL7Q7fgThn
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXYJrGYYO3
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJOb1kaYRT
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWj6WTwV7DZ
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOPqhn2FbD
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ySmB4eLTE
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsnHANT9K90
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLJRw87wOb
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zBTEXFsYH
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68ESonML5z
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKlzPQTfHm
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ84gULQrCdp
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDqP6rKXdjd
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡguJbhargA8
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmbQqVoPWv
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpywtEECDQs
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefd9LpQuq3
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE4gsy99c6f
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyErRDyk6k
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9uyGEO9gL
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyBAEXJy80D
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHj2FDiPCU
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP3emoDXp9c
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbcof3WhnE4
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdz0yobeBs
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbKAPHPMAk
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUEJlIbx1N
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGPKxpzWBU
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSkHMIoOEax
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUeeM7gFIR
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ6Azv5kZAC
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZCzSG5JZu
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvibYcqzQai
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIc6Sl9v8EP
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXkIQqRjoq
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0lNqWqAb5
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXKrfTy64P
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7aTsD8mff
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq2AoZXFvbQ
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 been449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyAW99Lhy2
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3APfEah8T
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfD0Z3JBlRA
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFiaJ27SECY
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLwfv5mKCEJ
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGZ3EvCHyC
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIfUzRDIGf
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzzYxzJ8O52
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXMkasmc13w
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpuRr4VRh9
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before449Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m1EaMIVdp
school.
