Every once in a while, everything comes116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTMcDdLYscF
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMLjxmPVheu
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7e7dG9rN9
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq73AcekQwH
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ClMOn6bfa
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGPXZNvQwX
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiib4HrUoEE
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjp4myBnZR
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJT85fzyHN
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMa5fQhCDSf
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWo0DElnNxu
this year’s summer-end.
It took three116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaWu4N0Wqc
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYBNMusfxi4
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjRAgrr6hn
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLAWiaMoebB
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjcYSypAv9o
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXfjwIL1b9E
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe1CK9PDkzy
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1oQ5RMqh8
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1TYnp6IYgk
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0tWdEDb0lB
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKxmzHOhSYo
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNDdrG5dyD
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJkcv0YmL5
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJEddw2pDWF
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp9Dwuo43gN
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLt4VXans4
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcYYRTZE1kh
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJj20klekoM
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡha67Y3qCZq
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMgZFprykI
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTaYOT43WBw
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNki5OkU9ax
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ3AG5FbitT
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3f6cbwDl2t
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRFaVfD8dyB
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoShgAaaLGb
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhi1C1rHuMX
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnDc9y79kwH
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs96V7FrHuF
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsm5IdH7g5a
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnukF2V1YS
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmyKaugnGZ
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS4o1sFrcVu
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbvD0BFFGQ
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUq1VAEYtU
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxgU0ky1AtF
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPSZKrutMET
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8KfOVFF5du
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB4xLCe6KsM
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzuOgsxhhz
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBfw1SlGp5
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ068R9j6gga
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Pgs0oTf8N
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFs61FcKum
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZZoZDWJU5l
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH877mfwp36
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHPusnbExRg
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2jeCqXI6hb
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkzfCxegB48
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRZ7HzyIZ14
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzolPTdjGoP
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡskWpdmdTts
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqNGoM47B8
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTJn5eMaLcA
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjhipGzIKEP
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBi4FHIn5i3
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5m8V4s89b
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtR3gELbRy
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7975pwWoz
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPaPjgU1bRe
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvYHhGtbdK
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51euJ1It9q
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCwi1szcVp0
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqW9xPcu6J
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfDsnbXF1z
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOG4i9U07hT
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8F6R6Z2eXo
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPNhanihVB
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtMpBAek1kd
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzaAeHK2EOb
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY9oCoWWNzS
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ65anF3FSAk
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu5J3iG8mxX
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyin9aQckeK
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9OGm3x6dw
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4TWDY7SWk
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9gruDnHiB
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡemPsqZnwr4
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4DFS0i0MJq
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡomsXc3c0PV
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 been116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUtU115b8a
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbM8FIL7qHK
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQAz1FMNfb
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡARUWXiRarM
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU24lV5hmK9
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRvKHfuNMO
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iZuOv9K36
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7AZtJGrah
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPUbVxE215B
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqhISkFZ2z
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before116Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBnzpAK82N
school.
