Taking 10: A Boys of Tommen Fanfic

t e n

3rd year 2007 November
Tadgh:
Walking into Tommen I head straight for the third year common room in search of Ella and Jack.

When I walk in I find the two of them and Eimear.
Eimear looks like she's been crying, Jack looks scared and Ella looks furious. Eimear and Jack have been going out on and off since first year. I was good friends with Jack through first year and most of second year until he switched up and turned into a total ass over the summer, he suddenly started getting played in the club matches for Gaelic football instead of just riding centre bench where he usually is, and ever since thinks he's the shit or something. I didn't have time for it, so I just drifted apart and have been ignoring his weird behaviour.

"What the fucks going on here?" I ask.
"The little prick cheated on Eimear!" Ella shouts shoving jack in the chest as he starts laughing.
"What the fuck?" I say completely shocked, I mean jack has turned into a complete ass, but I never thought he would actually cheat on Eimear, even though they haven't had the best relationship over the course of the past year I never thought he would go that far.

Eimear is slumped on one of the couches looking absolutely devastated.
"You son of a fucking bitch!" I shout at him walking up behind Ella to back her.

"Come on guys! It was an accident" he says trying to defend himself.
"Oh so you just accidentally slipped your dick into Ava O fucking Leary!" Ella shouts back at him.
That's my girl.
No Tadhg that's not your girl cop the fuck on.

"Look... I'm sorry okay" he says looking over to Eimear "I'm sorry Eimear"
"Don't look at her! Don't talk to her! You know what just fucking leave!" Ella shouts in his face.

"Come on lads, you know I don't want to live in a world where we're not tight" he says pointing at the four of us in a circle.
"Then kill yourself" Ella deadpans, as she walks up to him and he walks backward, clearly shocked by her words, I have to say I am too, Ella doesn't joke around about death.

She keeps stepping towards him and he keeps walking backwards until he's out the door and she's rushing back over to console her friend.
Eimear sniffles in Ella's arms "th-thank you... you're a good friend" Eimear whispers.
"Of course babe, anytime. I'm so sorry, you deserve so much better, and I'm going to kill that Ava bitch, you hear me?"
That last point finally gets a sliver of a smile out of Eimear.

Ella:
A few hours later Eimear had left early and it was just me and Tadhg walking around the school at lunch break with his arm slung over my shoulder.

At this point Tadhg was starting to dwarf me in height. He must've been like 6 feet 2 inches by now, and I'm sure he has another inch in him.

"What a prick jack is" Tadhg states.
"And a bitch Ava is" I add. "God, I want to kill her, and I never properly got back at her for the pool incident in first year"
"Ya... I had that one covered" he says scratching the back of his neck.
"What do you mean you.... No way! That was you!" I say laughing hysterically at the memory of Ava storming around the halls - in search of her older brother - covered in yoghurt, the day after the pool incident"

"Ya I got the idea from one of Ollie's tv shows, I just got all of the yoghurt squeezies form the house and set them up to explode when she opened it" he says laughing along with me.
"That's genius! She thought it was her brother!" I say laughing even harder
