Every once in a while, everything comes255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjrdipkqhY
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfUTlZFyQMX
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl5DAIjbdJL
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16DcHK1HrF
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrDrVwiZM3i
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza46BfiMN9
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEt9zXMx2g
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLtdQZGSLf
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55CkMqF6v1
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTj2rhn60pM
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrtQS0WHRNL
this year’s summer-end.
It took three255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsSoaKtzMhn
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFdo0vll8vh
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeFCwVAXtpQ
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡneb4v7jWNh
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73jmZw8VKB
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtWWSgCCyZm
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOYLiOsJgL
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjUQqrXYbjR
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgJNqd1qDLz
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyaKGX92LfH
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmROWVSrcHR
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xkXh0jMdz
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡevpZx2zhlY
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0Y0KGm0Ai
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cRjHVwM4G
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOFVid3W6f
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0DJOZU01vs
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ246r5sXIe5
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKRFMBq4sD
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZdSmqwp35
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTVe2O6VOK
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK6SJDpHibA
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHfSjzhyKb5
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhw70CLoAX1
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWPuj1UdeOg
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPL4FQQLNSq
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw47SFXbcw7
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlBuVdRTJDm
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBZ1stgvsMk
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBIa0BiVxTQ
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5Yj2cstTE
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeYgtQtUgKS
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCF0bZ3sN14
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6i2Ph5ThyF
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPWt8v9G5i
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4bcmCGeeyf
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3LWEK82J6Q
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5HfM2EmZXr
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhFY4ofX5Xf
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWXYWJjXc8
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkg6od1KL3
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9KBp2pZJx4
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7PvNKhth7
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82BLDjGtI0
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfBAViuHA4y
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQoDE1EhrK
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpxN2d598iE
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdgjbbL8YC
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpb5JYJXuxB
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlGrggMbhQ
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8mvBYvYFOj
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfMKIOuOWf
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ91P5w2Uruy
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4axu0oIaGV
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLWHaycNos
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5RQIJoxyv
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PcSeh26qO
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFkiRWTY7KH
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq5CVWGko1f
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡniSEFlLqL0
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLtP6FpMfpl
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaI6vBdrNPr
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0NDBMxiZs
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFm6iejLTuI
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsvg08pLlnn
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjpAYv7yG7U
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEwIO1sTNY
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh1MH5AmZlP
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR2KVQbpLM9
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q0ilQ9PEm
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW0ICQDt08
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFlxS3TrxN
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6IvVlVa1s
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xswTlr5Oh
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUnQL7DVr6O
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI0M906KE4J
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1LbtUhzY1
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeY9WAQMzhg
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg4TtcH83tg
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk9s67YZYL8
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 been255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLMwsawyqo
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1deIGd31mc
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ10GwdqFlpC
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZS0FVqrTk0
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CxxIPVA7Z
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjhecN2ezD
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkYLFanot9b
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4VAbCmYylC
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOP2gOs5nr
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJjxgcl0zB
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before255Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2DWkl8B82
school.
