Some stories are whispered, not shouted.
Fifteen-year-old Éabha Gibson is used to being invisible. At Tommen College, she's just "Little Gibson" - the quiet, awkward sister of loudmouth rugby lad Gerard "Gibsie" Gibson. She keeps her head down, hides in oversized hoodies, and survives the chaos of school, one sarcastic comment, and one safe sleepover at a time.
Behind the glasses and the guarded walls is a girl still grieving a father and baby sister lost to the water - and still haunted by things she doesn't talk about.
Then there's Patrick Feely.
He's not like the other rugby lads - not loud, not pushy. Just... quiet. Observant. Always lingering at the edge of things, just like her. He doesn't tease like the others. He notices. And that might be even more terrifying.
Éabha doesn't want to be seen - not really. But maybe, just maybe, being seen by him isn't so bad.
As secrets simmer, friendships shift, and the past refuses to stay buried, Éabha has to decide if she'll keep hiding in the shadow of everyone else's expectations - or if it's finally time to step into her own story.
