Every once in a while, everything comes220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYUj9jEZSz
together everyone gathers up and for that one night your life is amazing. “Summer220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9gCGikTogS
End” party has always been a tradition here at Beverly Hills, LA, it’s a party that’s220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOOIfgd78T
thrown on the night before school, every single high schooler who lives here is220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUOHyYqwA12
invited and tonight is the night for the 15th Summer End party.
“Hey Elli, are you going to this year’s summer-end?”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUSo8e6S7Kz
Neely spoke on the phone.
“Yeah definitely, it’s the biggest party of220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMBkOlI5Mv
the year,” I replied while adjusting my summer-end dress that I’d pre-booked a220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQXkaABL9tq
month ago,
“Right then, I’ll see you tonight and don’t220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnBHxDFoWD1
forget to snap me a pic of you in that gorges dress you booked”
“All right, I’ll snap a pic before I leave220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVZ3SmheoQq
the house,” I said then hung the call as I walked towards my wardrobe again220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63W9OBWmnj
trying to find the perfect matching heels to go with my dress and the theme of220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfQubAFygSz
this year’s summer-end.
It took three220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9OYuRmT28s
rounds in the wardrobe for me to finally decided on the heels and it will take220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k6hqqKqYd
another two to three rounds before I find a delicate purse as summer-end isn’t220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8whZdloDJc
just a party before school but it also allows you to meet new people who’d just220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkmrAxWlTRJ
moved in and become friends with them, so if you want to be the new ‘popular220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlC6bztgqSM
girl’ in school I suggest you’d better dress yourself up with the fanciest220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCVn3Iyhgxe
outfit you could ever put together. I snapped a photo of my look and sent it to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdHGjpoFZe
Neely then headed for the elevator that runs from the fourth floor to the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡquZAL9DqKw
underground car park, I grabbed a bottle of champagne from the champagne shelf220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPnZoZUTNMh
as I left the underground lounge then headed towards the two seated icy blue220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzHdNarHtNp
Porsche 718. This car was originally pink, I took it to the garage just about220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmyiChRNXtI
four days ago to change the colour so it would match my dress and everything. I220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5hzuRsDbC
pulled open the door, placed my bag and the bottle of champagne on the seat,220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmIxUsAOrD1
got into the driver’s seat, and started condition-checking, as usual, to ensure220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNlRmVyBQMx
the car was safe to drive.
As I drive out of the car park, I called220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVIDPIAx6F3
Neely so we could meet up at her house before we head to the party, we had an220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoEVuTeLwv
afterparty planned and I need to place the champagne in her champagne shelf220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTN8PDwvXDK
before going to the party as the champagne wouldn’t taste good if it leaves the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXSgIyqwud
fridge for too long. About five minutes later I arrived at Neely’s house, I220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKmbO7zgGT
parked the car and got out with the bottle of champagne and handled it to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SjPJ3izm6
Neely’s personal assistant who helped with planning the afterparty today, then220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxO2rNdgHeQ
Neely and I drove off towards the hall where summer-end is held.
“Elli, do you know anything about this year’s220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJmDrufxWU
new transfer students?” Neely asked,
“Not really, I just know that Jackson and220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTCRTUbS61
Daniel are joining our school this year,” I said,
“Oh, the two guy-best friends of yours.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj68ZXw0Bnh
Well, that’s fun” she said,
“Yeah, and I think there are exchange220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzPcLMDswLy
students from East Asia as well, my mom got an email about it and the school220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe57tgHbtoJ
hopes Charli has recovered so she could re-enrol and continue her studies as220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ86mp9D0T06
they say she is a very talented young lady”.
Charli is my older sister; we are Irish twins220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZwApXAqX41
as she was born in November 2004 and I was born in August 2005. She used to be220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSx3fd7M9y
in the year above me until last year she had bad anxiety issues and had to drop220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7g5oNyguXW
out of school to recover from anxiety and other issues. Its good news that220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7DRrjHtytZ
dropping out of school for a year helped her recover as she seems to be like220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Gqch8tsiU
who she used to be, that cheerful and encouraging older sister of mine. I truly220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxfkXYN1if
feel happy for her to be able to recover from anxiety and re-enrol in school to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu53gc696Gt
continue her studies in the areas that she likes and have a bright future,220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmg0XWRoB74
that’s all I ever wish for her, to be happy and live a calm life with no downfalls.220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDNB1uoJwip
About twenty minutes later Neely and I had220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkaNIqMK9wo
arrived at the front of the hall I’d say it’s more like a hotel but instead of220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yBM8UD8yp
one ball room for summer-end, the whole of the hotel lobby has been booked220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyU4SnKNfKJ
three months in advance for summer-end to make sure the decorations and service220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGprT7t6lZX
is top standard. As I parked the car in front of the entrance, I see employees rushing220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuaps05ntj
towards the car to open the door for us, I passed the keys to the guy who220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XoRSNq5Bk
opened the door for me as I entered the hotel lobby with Neely.
“Elli, you look gorgeous today!” said220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyeLlgLFMA
Jackson as he walked closer,
“Hehe thanks good looking guy in white, you220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLUzxjHyimV
sure will get a lot of girls attention tonight,” I said, laughing but also220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbp2EnoTg2c
giving him a compliment,
“Hey, let’s find a seat in the hall first”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcfcgK07SGx
Daniel joined to remind us of going into the hall and finding seats for220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbaZoNPHDsH
tonight,
“I agree with Daniel,” Neely said,
“Right then, lets go in” I said as we all220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR4LQJzQF5Y
walked towards the door and scaring off some other high schoolers, which is220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKIwzHmYwJR
reasonable as whenever the four of us walk around together it seems like we are220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiPU3s7uy3z
gang members plus the fact that we all go to very expensive international high220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCxaY3G87Po
schools and drive around the neighborhood whenever we have time to do so.
Surprisingly we weren’t the first ones to get220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QcVj3MRpx
there as Anastasia and Victoria were already at a table with bags on the chairs220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI2kW6jTCsK
around them,
“Looks like we have a booked table220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRL00kvR3Sg
already,” I said while walking closer to the table,
“Elli! Come here let me give you a hug”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWeM1jWa5qR
Victoria said as she approached to give me a hug,
“Hi Anna, I haven’t seen you in a long220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRD0lQkpIE
time,” I said after hugging Victoria,
“Hi Elli, how was summer?” Anastasia asked,
“Mine was okay, how was yours?” I replied220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlykkcIYCVX
while throwing my bag on to one of the empty seats, “so where is everyone?”
“Oh, they went on walks around the lobby”220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIieD9LNb1
said Vicki, that’s short for Victoria,
“I called Ann, he said he’ll be here within220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq1TkdUJE7
ten minutes,” I said,
Ann is another male member of our group, he’s220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKfIGtYbUGo
IBC which stands for Italian-born-Chinese which is quite different to Daniel,220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKVxsNjpfp
Jackson and I as the three of us are ABCs which stands for220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytcNIlnKPa
American-born-Chinese so yeah, I guess its somehow self-explanatory why Ann’s220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4o3DSsI4MD
full name is Antonio Piazollo as apart from being an IBC he also is a quarter220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7X1U3HmRYq
Italian.
After about twenty minutes or so we finally220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPgGu7LWAi
gathered everyone up at the same table for a group reunion and gossip sessions220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEZJ7fyr19u
as the host started the opening speech of summer-end like what they did220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEvFoMAMFg4
previously every year with a,
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thankyou220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEamkeHGwSK
for attending this years summer-end I whish you all have a wonderful night and see220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFtJPEccP4b
you next year.”
The lights went off after the opening220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUz8ueGV1nq
speech, well not exactly off but just a bit dimmer so the LEDs and the disco ball220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSC6uhmS0n
could do it’s job. We felt so insecure for a moment as everyone got up from220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡItEvxUWAzM
their seats as soon as the lights went off to dance but we just wanted to sit220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv06IHJGGJf
and chat, well I’m not sure about Ann and the others but as far as I know the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb5QneGkxbi
girls and I wasn’t really in the mood of dancing until later that night.
“Cheers to summer-end, Cheers to a new school220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQIT6VohHs
year” we say as we raised our glass and drank the champagne.
I could tell that Daniel only came to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2nMpUf6fx
summer-end to party and dance as he left the group to dance as soon as he put220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4KlkzDVZY
down his glass, I was actually shocked that Jackson followed Daniel to the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡchijz1Tj2y
dance floor as all these years I’ve known him for I’d never saw him dance.
“I thought Jackson would invite you to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2vBYCYrMeq
dance,” said Marianna,
“He’s not the type to invite others to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmj9fVuny5
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 been220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKzYwSmu7b
while the boys danced, the host came into the room after an hour or two to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf9AO1O4n4t
announce that the buffet next door was ready, so we moved next door to have dinner220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTR8606IHO
then came back and danced till about 11pm.
Neely and I waved goodbye to the others as220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrGzPrpUDE
we drove off to her house after summer-end, we both contacted our assistants to220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmXgLR4AKLU
make sure that one the guest room at Neely’s house was set up and two, the220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVEdqWeufIo
things that I need for tomorrow has been delivered to Neely’s house so Neely220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHlsZ9aw4d
and I could go to school together in the morning. By the time we got to Neely’s220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHeizqVoRw
house it was already pass midnight so all that we did was skincare routines and220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMyKyAf4LlX
watching Netflix while we had some champagne, the so called afterparty wasn’t really220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ciNSzTSPh
a party as we didn’t do much, but it was relaxing and good for the night before220Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoV8iT3HRtw
school.
