** ##### I’M IN 5C.

It’s pretty wild because I used to be thrown into 5D all throughout elementary, and now I’m in second worst class in each year. The stupid and helpless kids are in these classes.

Joey left me alone to check if behind the science building is a good enough spot to kiss Aoife against a wall.

Shannon left me alone for god only knows what. She just saw Johnny and gravitated toward the guy without sparing time for her newbie baby brother find his locker or maybe his first class.

Both my Tommen-attending siblings left me alone on my first day at this posh, rugby preparatory school that’s the size of the side of Ballylaggin I came from.

I turn around with the intention of fuming away in a fury when she runs into me my hands shoot out to steady her.

“Tadhg!” she raises her brows at me. “I’ve been looking for you.”

What?

How…?

Wait. F**k me, that’s—

“You’re Aoife’s cousin, right? What’s your name again?”

“Why does it matter when you’ll be calling me ‘baby’ by the afternoon classes?” she shoots me grin and, ladies and gentlemen, I’m done for.

She starts walking, and I, Tadhg Anthony Lynch,follow her.
