Every once in a while, everything comes285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00zCtcJlBH
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XIdn7XDSd
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsLbboHfjeQ
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡObGcrjNfWK
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZSNVRzD1z
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLuXhyoCwOx
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJpb6otS8es
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaoDmjQl2v
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwl9gfaY8PC
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QA4luCvz7
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOvykJ0TQv
this year’s summer-end.
It took three285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXv0lgqkcML
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoHMO7dghX
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7OloV0WvFu
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGiGxIbPWa8
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfa16ZB65U
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Qdr80uwbq
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrRWYPFAvpA
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cHhRE7jg3
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMLdLGZElv
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhXPyr9TNdE
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOtbxSJEC2
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGwPjuEUHbo
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAmWewwQHs
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOPtU8WJjy
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeowYgIrBjF
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMzRUzlod2
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJopc0Zl2K
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoMIu1dco00
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOBTQgzRsN
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdPxaeg1hgo
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3r1gjSWhFY
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlO5XGK7n3
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlOVzm1sgfN
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDaaQsmnI50
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCQfOt0Yo8
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorFragezCA
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡks6Ju93qrU
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBytLgWg32u
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKgotZAyj65
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN2DP4aEfJs
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7djhO8PQky
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6blEAozsli
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvaQQlvCYiO
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIDF1zNWsPw
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyuTxLLRyrk
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqAXQblQvCA
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYMeJVmVSr
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsfLiFOVATe
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxCNKHc98mU
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0BcpQSbBnL
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNq7cS6gMdx
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPl56rDucYp
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4zl7JvW4Jo
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5gaXcM7TiU
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT0ILrAiEqs
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMEcZ6xFEy
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXhGRkg4W3
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAGnAXkG3g9
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNhHxNGUE3
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLSNZKjbTOq
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzJJCO3xP5
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSphqViWQHk
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiCnT2lulh6
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh4JifndsDx
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdf0RgaXbbG
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPJGZRvaXGb
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyQrTD4cNpu
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoX2q2gKmbP
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFjpEq9waR
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmSeh6hzPz
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9EdvlH9hX1
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaHvdmUU5bt
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDVJHDDRXAK
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHDY2ZEVub5
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO3VQrgGlJl
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhca7smVNq
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kqbhQ34GA
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxRJ7flieM
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUdGmahFhGh
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3WUMAg0ghV
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmuxRvbgJq
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMOFY6ylvU
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqfuq26Xvf9
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4X43KIETJ3
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX3IOaEQ7lb
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnqY25lRW8V
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7gRPjllTe9
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ27SLiDog1D
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3P9U5PQjUg
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRVP1X2GRXK
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 been285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAaaZAIdyS
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCne3e3qEeC
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMt2Bvq2ZVB
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbex7IVkHHg
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ143x0fR42c
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvkX0Tsx6cj
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsFCkWkwos
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUmJSZ79qT
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1klCJTaccA
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU4T8mI1F9P
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before285Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfMuhbF9Jra
school.
