"We will be monsters, alone in the world, but we will have each other" - Mary Shelley, Frankenstein.
Tadhg Lynch, the infamous hot-headed hurler, enters his sixth year of Tommen College. Anger is the one thing that seems to be a constant in his life. The more the world turns, the more the fire within him lives. Although he was saved from the burning of his childhood home, it seems like his mind is still there and it was still burning and no one could save him.
Leah Daly, the casual bystander of Tommen college that has too much going on at home to be bothered by classmates. She enters her sixth year of Tommen College with no fire within her. At seventeen it feels like she has lived her whole life and she doesn't want to live anymore of it. The only thing keeping her is her younger brother that wouldn't be living if not for her.
They hate each other. They ignore each other in the corridors of the school. They don't realise everyone can see the tension between the two of them. They believe the other has it so much better and doesn't realise it.
But everyone knows the grass is always greener on the other side, right?

Trusting 10||boys of tommen
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-mutismComplete

Tadgh Lynch had a fractured past. Life hadn't been kind, and it took him until he was eleven to realise he could fight for something better. Starting at Tommen College in first year felt like stepping into another universe. Polished floors, towering ceilings, students who seemed born to belong. He didn't. Not then. Not now. Over time, he carved out a place for himself, slowly earning respect, slowly learning who he was. But the cracks in his mind, the remnants of his old life, never fully healed. He kept to the same group of friends, the same girls he messed around with, the same routines that kept him safe. And then Aidan Kelly arrived, and Tadgh's world quietly shifted. Aidan moved through life with precision and confidence, already knowing who he was and what he wanted. He carried himself with a certainty Tadgh couldn't yet understand, a knowledge of himself that made everything else feel... unfamiliar. Aidan had grown up under pressure, believing everything he did had to be flawless. Mistakes weren't allowed, nothing was ever enough. He didn't understand why his mind worked that way until he was diagnosed with OCD. Routines became his armor, loops his comfort. Then Tommen College offered him a scholarship, opening a world full of new faces, new expectations, and new opportunities. He had learned who he was long before he arrived. Tadgh, on the other hand, had no idea that the life he thought he knew could bend in a completely different direction. He didn't know he could feel for another boy until Aidan showed him it was possible, slowly turning everything Tadgh thought he understood about love and desire upside down.

Caoimhe Kavanagh, has never minded the chaos, she embraced it. With a sketchbook in her bag, Taylor Swift in her ears, and Aiden Gibson at her side, they'd been best friends for as long as she could remember. From skipping class to swapping playlists and hiding on rooftops, Aiden has always been the one person who makes the chaos feel less loud. But lately, things feel... different. And when Aiden's ex-girlfriend-the girl he'd dramatically once sworn he'd never stop loving-returns, everything starts to shift. One dramatic plea and a fake relationship later, Caoimhe finds herself playing pretend with the boy she's spent her whole life trying not to fall for. She's always known how to keep things light. But this? This feels like heartbreak in slow motion. And everyone knows it-apart from her. Aiden Gibson has never taken much seriously-not school, not rugby, and definitely not his reputation. But Caoimhe has always been different. She's his calm in the storm, his partner in crime, the girl who he hums Paper Rings under her breath for and somehow makes everything feel a little less impossible. He told himself it was all just for show. That he could fake a relationship with her and walk away untouched. But the longer they pretend, the harder it gets to ignore the truth he's been avoiding for years. Because sometimes the real thing sneaks up on you-disguised as a joke, wrapped in friendship and unavoidable.
