Every once in a while, everything comes270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20eFXrtIJV
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1b3ToMWlG
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡazPPG7unxg
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1gLiRVzYc
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDdVSdMQpoM
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ETNm6w56S
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbgNzD9wAyS
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡshMUisYakE
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LMLiuahwy
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxFNKJ4CzJ
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWMwEenXuGl
this year’s summer-end.
It took three270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgpnagd5jrO
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡatDf5h6yLr
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQ4KBuEUJK
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJt6mX8fYKr
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnWH2PwA50h
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbAtz40TRIx
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGopxP6SZc8
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaWWIWPZKy
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaZ2ngyaDc
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnlG6d9i5Pk
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpr523u6G63
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7WV5m0UpY
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoerrS4aEX6
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQWbbmdb48
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi9YzlU8Elt
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Jb21eVhvu
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBjnRtkoNr
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSrFzBTTla
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxNds05Upty
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUvtV3O5i6
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkMuEceUhZx
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2gQ7uCa6j
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzDYcGxq0C
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8yZYBjBB7y
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDJBLUWGBs
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxxSpbWpWbv
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF66Rfsfj9t
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFR5XGKA9l
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFD3Au25lnQ
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFBybi1KrpD
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkWgRZhU8bv
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMfh7Emt17
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOENfmz33Wm
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfwyI0XKknp
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw2KLm9frCv
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvG6MJ5yq0p
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkxGSmWuq7
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtmqnsR1HqS
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAI8i6dXn4
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKZtNgy71J
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXHumbHYait
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt8wxvjwkrU
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtv6s4t6AfJ
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDnScvbTgV
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7BwUEBwS9X
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM2VfEEfPu
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsaetglMD1E
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuLzDE18Zq
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAI5aTukwGP
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyj8nc8d2wU
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrrXlyfuIgX
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGwXTpwynw
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhr1BWXZtkv
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR5STaQW9Bg
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSMYZ5SwPv
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHm2gYzDLL
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiwYUMzpW30
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkP2M5EkTeu
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEonQQdLcUX
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡImDIOwQ31L
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSDMCbuzkgM
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSccU0aP87D
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQzFQBI98c
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKf0IvMealr
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrjy9mAuWIF
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqgIdWwMVr
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcCAGSKlsMo
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARwOVam0A0
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuRb3WpI5sa
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0CH60cZWDB
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqbZgamZNr
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWrc5KoPmEe
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf96FfyiO3y
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjghWJTeN95
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxSAPI3Uua
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtrrbuGVeEr
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrnkMhP76Q9
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmuxHSOK6s
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YE38bP3Q3
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbNPSO5V5Th
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 been270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzgsOFLvJU
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡukbsUUO28N
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZiWLsMQvZU
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyDI6DF6r3Q
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvZ5dCmnCn
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbZJYSTDMf
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyn7km3dH0k
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQnR1bV7lTp
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CatnZzKnh
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYt0mNYyeA
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before270Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdmZJCDcaf
school.
