Tadhg Lynch
He's the forgotten witness-the Joey Lynch doppelgänger who was too young to truly comprehend the gravity of Lynch's tragedy but too old to ever forget. Determined, athletic, attractive and an adopted Kavanagh Kid. For the most part, Tadhg Lynch was perfect. Lonely, but perfect. But there's one person who's a balm to that loneliness but also a walking migraine wrapped into one clusterfuck. Tadhg doesn't chase fights like an addict chasing their high, he bites when provoked. That being said, that notion seemingly dissolves around Ballylaggin's resident Wildflower, one Olivia Kataria.
Olivia Kataria
The wildflower is one of the lucky six scholarship recipients with a brain like no other-but an equally one-of-a-kind mindset that makes her a walking contradiction. Sporty, ambitious, beautiful and intelligent-Olivia Kataria is the dream-girl with an attitude that's the stuff of nightmares. And nobody's as well acquainted with her attitude as the boy who has been her academic rival since the first year, Tadhg Lynch.
As their sixth year progresses; dynamics shift, their futures rewrite day by day. And as the pressure builds, what will be left? A diamond or collateral damage.

𝐀𝐃𝐃𝐈𝐂𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝟔
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.Complete
Ghost in the Halls
Five years after the original Boys of Tommen era, 17-year-old Tadgh Lynch has found his footing. Now in 5th year, he's a solid hurler, surrounded by a close-knit group of lads, and finally experiencing some stability after years of turbulence in the Lynch household. But no matter how much distance he puts between himself and the past, the pain lingers-memories of his childhood, of Shannon's suffering, and of feeling powerless. On the first day of term, Tadgh meets Leah Daly, a sharp, academically gifted 16-year-old who's just skipped a year and transferred into his class. She's younger, brilliant, and immediately rubs him the wrong way-too aloof, too blunt, and too guarded. But what really sets him off is her last name: Daly. The same name as one of Shannon's worst bullies. That alone is enough for Tadgh to write her off. But the more he watches her, the more he notices the cracks in her armor. She's tired all the time. Avoids talking about her family. Shows up to school with suspicious bruises she brushes off with weak excuses. And sometimes, when she thinks no one's looking, she seems completely and utterly lost. When he finds out what's really going on-that Leah is living under the same kind of terror he once did-his perception of her shifts completely. Against his instincts, Tadgh becomes invested. Not just in helping her, but in understanding her. Because Leah isn't just a Daly. She's someone like him-someone surviving. As their bond deepens, Tadgh is forced to confront the parts of his past he's buried. And Leah, too clever and too broken for her own good, must decide whether to let someone in before her situation spirals further.

Tormenting 11
Tadhg Lynch is the third youngest Lynch sibling, and is trying to make it through his years of Tommen without being recognized as Joey Lynch, Shannon Lynch, and Johnny Kavanagh's little brother. He wants to make a name for himself, but that's difficult when you're constantly living under the shadow of the legacies before you. Now in his fourth year and with a reputation as the school troublemaker, Tadhg is learning that life can be lived even when you are dubbed as the "little brother," and that some things and people can know him for him. Leah Daly just moved to Cork, Ireland from America, and it's safe to say that she isn't too happy about uprooting her life in the middle of high school. Angry about her parents' sudden divorce, and being picked up with her dad to live in the middle of nowhere, Leah is dropped off to start her sophomore year, or fourth year as Ireland calls it, at Tommen College. Full of pretentious rugby stars and trust fund kids, Leah runs into Tadhg, who automatically intrigues her. What happens when the troublemaking screw up, and the angry teenage girl cross paths and find their worlds forever altered?
