**100% INSPIRED BY THE BOYS OF TOMMEN SERIES BY CHLOE WALSH. ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CHARACTERS FROM THE SERIES AND THIER IDEAS BELONG TO HER :) ** Talia's life was thrown off it's hinges when news struck that she would be moving to Cork, Ireland with her brother Alex and his boyfriend Darren during her leaving cert. She had a boyfriend, a steady athletic career, and stellar grades at her current school. The last thing she wanted to do was move and attend Tommen College. Regardless of her feelings, she had to go, make it through her sixth year, and then leave and finally go to university. However, she didn't expect how this move would change her life forever. Connor never expected to be picked up by the Academy. It was a dream he always wanted, but it always felt out of reach. Moving to Ballylagan was going to give him the opportunity to play with some of the best, but it only added to the pressure on his shoulders. With that, he needed no distractions. It was easy enough in his mind, until he met Talia. Trigger Warnings include: profanity, discussions of abuse, anxiety, drug use, alcohol, eating habits, and emotional trauma.

Conor Kavanagh. The heartthrob of Tommen College. The biggest playboy in the school - cocky smirk, rugby jersey practically sewn onto him, always with a smart comment and that maddening wink. He's friendly, charming, flirty as hell. The kind of lad who'd carry your bag for you and somehow make it seem like your idea. But don't let that fool you - he's trouble. All sharp jawlines and swagger. And somehow, he's decided I'm his next bloody charity case. I hate it. I hate how he shows up when I don't ask, how he looks at me like I'm breakable. I don't need saving - I've got it sorted. The drink, the pills, the temper - all of it. My mess, not his. And every time I tell him to back off, to leave me be, he just gets closer, like I'm speaking in code. I don't need his pity or his perfect face. I don't need him. So why does part of me keep hoping he'll show up again tomorrow? *** Sinead Biggs. The reigning queen of Tommen. Sharp-tongued, sharp-eyed, and terrifying in heels. Everyone thinks she's just Cath's little sister - until she opens her gob and makes half the school cry before lunch. She walks those halls like she owns them, and honestly? She kind of does. The lads are scared of her. The girls want to be her. And me? I'm hopelessly, pathetically into her. Everyone knows it. My mates won't shut up about it. Even when she's tearing strips off me with that mouth of hers, I'm there grinning like a gobshite. Because deep down, I remember. I remember when we used to be best friends. When she used to laugh like a lunatic at my stupid jokes, when her hand would brush mine and neither of us would move away. But then came Owen Rice - the prick. Then came that night. The accident. The hospital. And when she came back, she wasn't the same. She'd built up walls with barbed wire. She'd become someone colder, louder, crueler. But I still see her. The girl I knew. And every once in a while, when no one's looking, I think she sees me too.
