you fell hard I thought 'good riddance' 2nd generation / BOYS OF TOMMEN [1]

Clara Gibson lives the perfect rom-com teenager life. Well,except from the part she's never actually had a boyfriend. And Tommy from 1st year doesn't count. The start of 4th year is like a breath of fresh air for Clara. Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson (her brother) wants her to get out there more and,"make more friends." But Clara is just fine to sit at home with a book,or go to her dance studio. Clara's best friend Catherine "Cathy" is way more outgoing than her. She's friends with all of the right people. And Clara is pretty sure she's nearly dated the entire school. This year Catherine and Gerard are teaming up to try and get Clara out of her shell. So they start eating at the same lunch table as Gerard's friend group. This is how Clara and the rugby king Johnny Kavanagh start talking. Now Clara has known Johnny since they were like 12 and he moved to Cork. But now everything is different.

Anna Lynch was fucking petrified of men. Not just uncomfortable- terrified.She'd flinch if one of us so much as walked too close. She was always keeping herself pressed to walls, eyes darting for exits like she was planning an escape. And it wasn't just the loud ones or the gobshites. Even Johnny Kavanagh-her sisters boyfriend -made her recoil. That's when it really hit me. This wasn't nerves. This was trauma, stitched into every muscle in her body. The only lads she wasn't afraid of were her brothers-Joey and Darren. She stuck to them like her life depended on it, like they were the only two people in the world who'd never let her down. The rest of us? We were threats until proven otherwise #1-hughbiggs #1-chilhoodtrauma #1-mentalhealth #1-mutism

Fiadh Kavanagh is the youngest daughter of John and Edel, with her older brother Johnny being a superstar rugby player she's always been in his shadow. Edel and John have taken the lynch children into their home,helping Joey(the eldest lynch) with his addiction to drugs. But while doing that,they fail to realise just how bad their own daughter's addiction has gotten. tags #1-boysoftommen #1-gibsie #1-gerard #1-shannon #1-lizzie #1-hughie #2-cork #1-johnny #8-boys #10-addiction
