Today was the party that Disha invited him to, The day was already exciting for Desmond and he would always check the time if it's eight p.m just so he wouldn't be late.

Soon Desmond finished his homework earlier as He looked at the time and saw it was seven fifty p.m, He decided to get ready atleast as Desmond changed his clothes and fixed his hair and applied perfume around him.

Once he was done, Desmond told his sister that he was heading out as Lexy said goodbye to him while his mother wondered where he was going but didn't bother asking him.

Desmond got on his bike as He looked at the address in the paper before he rides away as He had a small smile on his face and was thinking about Disha.

Eventually Desmond made it to the house which looked great from the outside as He could already hear music and alot of people talking and cheering.

He knocked on the door as someone opened the door and saw it was one of the students as Desmond greeted him before walking in, He looked around and saw alot of people dancing and talking to eachother as the music got louder.

Desmond was trying to look for Disha until he heard a familiar voice.

???: Hey Desmond!

Desmond: *Surprised* Cody?

Desmond walked towards him as Cody was smiling at Desmond until Crowe saw his other friends as well.

Benjamin: Hey man! I didn't know you were invited here.

Roxanna: Yeah but it's great to have you here!

Desmond: Thanks, Am I late though?

Cody: Don't worry man, Your just in time.

Desmond smiled a little until he saw someone next to Benjamin as He smiled at Desmond.

He waved at Desmond as Crowe waved at him back.

Roxanne: Oh you two know eachother?

Evan: Yeah! He's a good guy even if I met him two days ago.

Benjamin: Thats cool man, See? You made alot of friends here, Desmond.

Cody: Especially in your third day in school.

And he was right about that, Desmond already made friends in these three days which Desmond was happy about it since he never made any friends in his old school.

Desmond chuckled and sat next to his friends as they were talking to eachother before Roxanne convinced Benjamin for a dance which he agreed as Both of them went to dance.

Benjamin was dancing with her as He spinned her around as Desmond, Evan and Cody were looking at them.

Evan: They are adoreble.

Cody: I agree on that.

Desmond: Thats true actually, So alot of the students are invited here.

Evan: Thats almost the whole school actually, Excluding the teachers.

Cody: Apparently its someone's birthday party actually.

Desmond: Oh really? Who is it?

Cody: I don't know actually, I heard about it.

Evan: I guess we will find out later but let's party for now.

Cody: Come on Desmond! Start dancing or get some drinks or food.

Desmond: Oh yeah, I'll do that.

Evan: I'm gonna get some soda!

Cody: Awesome, I'll join you.

Evan and Cody went to get some drinks as Desmond got up and looked around and saw everyone was enjoying themselves until he saw someone walking towards him.

Disha was smiling at Desmond as Crowe smiled at her as She spoke to him.

Disha: Hey Desmond! I'm so glad your here.

Desmond: Hi Disha, I arrived a few minutes ago actually. I was just talking to some friends

Disha: Thats great! I really hope you will enjoy the party and by the way, Meet my friends.

Desmond looked behind her and saw her friends as they were holding drinks in their hand.

Rashmika: Hi!

Desmond: *Smiles* Hi there, My name Desmond.

Rashmika: Nice to meet you, Its Rashmika.

Mandy: Your that new kid right? It's cool to meet you.

Desmond: Thanks, Nice to meet you as well.

Mandy: I hope you will enjoy yourself in this party.

Desmond looked at her and smiled as He saw her other friend.

Pooja: Hi Desmond! Nice to meet you, Disha talked alot about you?

Desmond: *Shocked* Really?

Pooja: *Laughs* That's right, She said you were a nice person and helped her as well.

Desmond smiled as Disha was smiling at them as He shooked Pooja's hand.

Disha loved how kind and respectful he is towards woman as Disha continued looking at him.

Desmond was talking to them for a little bit as the talk was going nicely until Disha saw someone as She had a huge smile on her face and looked at Desmond.

Disha: Desmond! I wanted you to meet someone actually.

Desmond looked confused until he saw someone walking towards Disha as The man wrapped his arm around her.

He recognised Finn as Balor had a smirk on his face while Disha was holding his hand, Desmond noticed how close they were as Disha said something.

Disha: Desmond, This is Finn. Today is his birthday and he is also my boyfriend.

Desmond's eyes were widen and was shocked that Disha actually had a boyfriend that he never knew about it. He felt his heart shatter from the inside as He was staring at Finn.

Finn: *Smiles* Hi there. I think we saw eachother once.

Desmond was staring at him as Finn extended his hand for a handshake as Desmond just shooked his hand.

Finn: I hope you enjoy the party, It will be a blast.

His mood was ruined and his face was filled with upset and sadness as Desmond nodded at Finn's words as Disha's friends noticed how his expression changed but they shrugged it off.

Desmond: I will. . . I'll go check the pool out.

He just walked away and saw the students in the pool, swimming and splashing water at eachother as laughter and happiness were filled.

Desmond was silent and looked around the pool as He couldn't believe that Disha was dating someone when he was slowly starting to have a crush on her.

Benjamin and Roxanne were at the side of the pool as They were eating some food while Cody was drinking pepsi and looked at the pool, Evan was just dancing and drinking soda as Desmond was watching his friends until he heard Finn's voice.

Finn: Look who it is.

Desmond turned around and stared at him as the people in the party were silent and looked at both of them.

Finn: *Chuckles* Didn't mean to scare ya, I meant that you were the new kid around the school.

Desmond was having a bad feeling about him as Crowe just looked at him and nodded, Desmond's friends were watching what was happening and Disha along with her friends were looking, but Evan was looking a bit worried when he saw Finn.

Desmond: So. . . When is the cake arriving?

Finn: Cake? Not now actually, My celebration is a little different actually.

Desmond: Ice cream. . .Donuts?

Finn: No no no, Also why did your mood drop so suddenly?

Desmond was silent as Disha realised and looked worried, She wondered why Desmond looked upset so suddenly.

Finn: Is it because she's dating me not you?

Desmond immediately looked at Finn as Everyone looked shocked as Disha was confused and spoke to Finn.

Disha: Finn, What are you saying?? Desmond is a nice guy.

Finn: Oh honey, I know your faithful but something doesn't seem right about this guy.

Desmond: Look, I was just invited in this party. . . If you want me to leave, I can go.

Finn smiled a little as Desmond looked at his friends who were concerned as Disha's friends were also wondering what the tension was.

Desmond walked away until someone stopped him as He saw who it was. . . It was one of the bullies that Desmond beat up when he tried to save Evan.

He slightly pushed Desmond back to Finn as Everyone was watching in shock as Desmond looked a bit upset.

Desmond: What do you want from me, Finn?

Finn: I don't want anything, I'm just doing a favour for my friends. You just beat them up like they were ragdolls.

Disha was shocked as Desmond looked upset and countered back at him.

Desmond: What do you expect? They were beating him up for no reason and you expect me to just watch!?

He pointed at Evan as The crowd looked at Evan until Desmond realised something. Maybe this was what Evan tried to tell him about yesterday but Crowe ignored him completely.

Desmond: Ah, So your the one that this school is afraid of?

Finn just looked at him as Desmond just sighed to himself as he was trying to cool himself down.

Desmond: You know. . . I'm sorry, I'm just gonna leave now. I don't want any trouble.

Desmond looked at Disha and felt sad as Disha was just looking at him as Desmond walked away but Finn began laughing.

Finn: Wow! So your just gonna leave like that? I was expecting a fight actually which is why I'm prepared or your gonna ask permission from your father?

Desmond stopped and stood there as Finn smiled while Disha was worried and spoke to Finn.

Disha: Finn, This is unessecery, Leave him alone!

Finn: *Ignores Disha* I heard alot about you, Desmond. How you couldn't save your own father? I think this is why you can't fight me, Because you can't save yourself I'd you didn't save him.

That was his breaking point as Desmond ran towards Finn and tackled him as Everyone was shocked as Benjamin yelled Desmond's name and tried to run after him but Roxanne was holding him along with Cody and Evan back.

Desmond began punching him but Finn kicked him on the gut and punched his face as Desmond was holding his face as Finn threw him to the ground.

Finn: How about this, Desmond? Let's do it like how we see it in TV. Let's have this be a mixed martial arts fight.

The crowd was shocked Desmond just stared at him.

Benjamin: Desmond, Don't listen to him!

Cody: Just ignore him, Lets leave!

Evan: Come on, Desmond. Don't do this.

Roxanne Please come with us.

Desmond was looking at them as Disha's friends said something to her.

Rashmika: Arey kuch bolo unko, Disha! (Tell something to him, Disha!)

Disha: Finn, Stop this!

Finn just smiled at Disha and didn't listen to her as Desmond removed his jacket as Finn removed his jacket as well.

They were both in a stance as The crowd began cheering and were excited for the fight which shocked Desmond and Disha's friends that everyone wanted to enjoy this.

Desmond tried to punch Finn but Balor blocked him and punched him on the gut, Desmond was in pain as He tried to hit an uppercut but Balor dodged him again and punched his gut.

For some reason, Desmond was struggling to fight as Crowe began punching Finn but he was blocking it and punched Desmond on the face as Everyone "oohed" while the others were worried and shocked.

Desmond was holding his gut as Finn began hitting him with multiple strikes and hit a move on him.

That scared their friends alot as Finn tackled him to the corner as Desmond was hurt and began punching Finn, He didn't know that he was a professional in this.

Desmond managed to push Finn away and hit his first strike at him.

Finn was holding his head as Desmond was glaring at him, Finn just smirked at him as Desmond began punching Finn but he blocked all the punches and pushed him away

Desmond tried to attack him but Finn hit him with the final strike on his face as Desmond fell on the ground as Everyone was shocked while others were cheering as Finn began laughing.

Benjamin and the others pushed through the crowd and ran to check on their friend as Desmond couldn't move and clutched his fist as he could see Finn smiling at him, He could have got up but was too tired and weak to even get up.
