Nolan let out a deep sigh as he stared at the girls standing in front of him. The night had gone so well that he couldn’t believe it was ending like this. Of all the people he could’ve run into, it just had to be Savannah and her friends. It almost felt like life was playing a cruel joke on him. He had gone through the whole night, enjoying himself even though it started ugly with Claire acting stupid but he still managed to stay calm only for the last few minutes to bring him face to face with the last people he wanted to see.Ginny’s party should’ve ended hours ago, but things had dragged longer than expected because the boys didn’t show up early. Most of the girls had stayed behind waiting for them, and with Jett and his friends missing for a long time, everyone knew the party wouldn’t really start until they arrived. They were the so-called big boys of the school, who always made sure everyone noticed them and also without them, the party was boring to most people and when they f

The moment Damien said that, everyone paused. Savannah turned back slowly, staring at Damien like he had just said the most ridiculous thing ever. Ginny’s mouth dropped open a little, her eyes darting between Nolan and Damien. She couldn’t believe what she was hearing.“Are you serious right now?” Dora asked, her tone filled with disbelief. “ You’re inviting Nolan? To Ginny’s birthday party? Damien, are you feeling okay?”Damien smiled. “I’m serious. It’s her birthday, and birthdays are supposed to be about fun, right? Why not let him join? Maybe he’s not as bad as everyone thinks.”Savannah rolled her eyes. “Or maybe you’re just trying to make things awkward for everyone,” she snapped. “Because there’s no way Nolan is joining this party.The girls were clearly not interested in Nolan joining them for the party, and Jett was about to say there was no way Nolan was stepping into that place when he caught a certain look on Damien’s face. It didn’t take him long to figure it out. Damien

“You must be acting like this because Damien is suddenly behind you, right?” Dora snapped angrily, glaring at Nolan like he had just done the most annoying thing ever. “But just so you know, you’re still very shameless.”Ginny was about to talk again, her mouth already open to add more insults, but Damien stopped them. “That’s enough, guys,” he said with a fake calm smile, before turning to the waiter. “Please get our food ready.”Minutes later, the waiter returned with some other waiters following behind him, all of them carrying trays filled with different meals. They began placing everyone’s food on the table one after another. There was so much food that it couldn’t even fit on the table alone, and they had to get another table to place the rest.The whole table looked like a mini feast. Plates of pasta, roasted chicken, steak, salad bowls, desserts, and glasses of wine were spread across the tables. Everyone stared in amazement at how much had been ordered. Nolan reached forward

Damien, you’re next to gift Ginny,” Jett said, making everyone’s attention go back to what they were doing.“Hurry up and show us. I’m so excited,” Dora said, laughing sheepishly.“You’re not even the birthday girl and you’re excited,” Damien said with a chuckle while Dora gave him a playful glare.“Just let us know already,” she added.Damien brought out a small bag and handed it to Ginny with a smile. Ginny wasted no time opening it, and she let out a loud gasp as she stared at the box. Inside was a gold necklace with love pendants, and a matching pair of love earrings and a bracelet with a cute charm that had her name on it.“Oh my god. This is real gold!” Ginny screamed as she showed the box to Dora and Savannah. “Oh my god. This is the best birthday ever!” she screamed louder. “Thank you! Oh my god, thank you so much, Damien. I can’t even imagine how much this cost. Thank you.”“It wasn’t that costly. Just some thousands of dollars,” Damien replied, and Ginny squealed again.“Tha

Everyone started to yell at Nolan to get out of the party, their voices mixing together, shouting over one another, hurling insults at him like they had all been waiting for this exact moment to pour everything out. People didn’t even try to hide their disgust anymore. They pointed at him, shaking their heads, whispering and laughing loudly in that annoying way that made it very clear that he wasn’t welcome anymore . Nolan had no choice than to just leave because it was obvious that nobody was going to let him talk or explain himself. He stood there feeling everyone’s bad eyes on him like they were all judging him at the same time.“Since you all want me to leave that bad, I’ll leave,” Nolan finally said, his voice sounding frustrated because he knew they wouldn’t listen. “What I just want you to know, Ginny, is that all of this is clearly a misunderstanding and if only you had given me the chance to speak, then I can clear it, but you haven’t, so I’ll just take my leave.” After sayi
