You’re the new student at Tommen—quiet, unreadable, keeping to yourself like it’s an art. You walk the halls unnoticed, not because you’re invisible, but because you’ve mastered silence. No one really knows your name. Yet. Then you see her.

Shannon Lynch, joey lynch. sister's. she keeps her eyes low, always bracing for impact. She moves like she’s shrinking, like she’s hoping no one notices she exists. But today, someone does. A group of girls Bella and her pack have her backed against the lockers. their voices are low, venomous, but their words hit like knives.

“Look at you, Shannon,” Bella sneers, her voice sharp and mocking. “Always hiding. You think anyone cares about you? You’re invisible. Pathetic.”

The other girls laugh, their giggles echoing down the hallway like a sickening chorus. Bella continues, her eyes cold. “You’re just a loser who doesn’t know how to blend in. you’ll never fit in here.”

And you? You step in. From across the courtyard, the Boys of Tommen johnny, gibsie, hughie and joey lynch stand silent, eyes fixed on you. Joey? he’s staring as you help and stand for his sister, Shannon.
