Every once in a while, everything comes218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Hu3xpvJeE
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvXtl5cMYA
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr0E1Rf9hPA
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklHrhgvh1G
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPA9PfAo4GQ
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlDB4VDIKn3
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVidrXf9AFU
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdKu15eqIX
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaA3XLGyKcO
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQLhyyFzbah
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡISYIZnTu0g
this year’s summer-end.
It took three218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZds5QGetIT
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7uZdM5gxhY
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhY6lXf1f0O
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj7Tosltt8I
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgeSf8I4Nm
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ09nZrEbaaV
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqiZrKXp51
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw9JDoe9Hyo
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE5qhwEAhWd
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaDeyVDkmjV
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtAnSdCVeg
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUDJ9qbWJx
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNprcu4zwdg
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPIvLvU7eh1
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxga2GQIv3J
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbfhrofdUk
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj6Ok9fILT4
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhLY9nGDax
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64uGlpvvSd
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL2CIKz3Iz5
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3YjnEB4Rr
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV8Gncc4ABe
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMC0qQUwRbF
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwU1LPKAiM
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKsJCtt6e1
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYozcrzMkMk
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I6JA8nMVP
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQjNmEmH8w
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpJQxiXJKar
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPWOqVsdLlE
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsgyCyK5aE
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGKV4RSVe1j
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFKHXuiswfN
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl0WPUe30w
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi7rzZGYOOu
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFyogOYEOWb
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyliLrQJJnS
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOafIPlhtk
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9KtkBsyXy
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr8uP70jFYJ
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzY3J8yIWG
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMalczwlSSL
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPr7TGzAxc1
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyEvg86AhcI
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUVBxpCTo5
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyGmPr2q9R
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEUzycjaJh9
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHGgW2QxI6
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNGREaBpct
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5PpPWkwwAY
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcsYpfnJISA
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7BGZNUM3l
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2KoZaKVXNt
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueTW8KEEIF
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡreq5noesD4
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDFYC2kD1OW
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAn6xagrQIx
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgsuarFDTU1
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX14kn7kBhK
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo3PiChs37u
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRrO0vOLV0d
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlN52rwLlAm
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrYjXzqcgVx
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpKhvmxkUL
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvBapgLXyC
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPBdHRLUg5H
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxg1PsyKolu
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz05UyzUvk0
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhdczLCR3UK
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlldC2T4ep
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZElfilq63U
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBmHoYuq6U2
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfaRI29nbAd
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp6QCRQaHLj
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWTjBjSKntQ
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvQpbwm3cko
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkFG4wqUnB6
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgaCziv8B9i
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNtKE7joMH
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXTtWD7mRVX
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 been218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSM3T1tLSEw
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcEHwJEcRsI
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkufdhaJPlD
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRYxH8DWOce
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkgogoxuIoJ
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLNsDtmjpeW
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwwPp51OiiO
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf945AolKgZ
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgSlKEkZY6E
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloxQzrULjC
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before218Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡobdFpBI1ow
school.
