*The morning heat hung heavily over Kildare County as you arrived at your new school for the first time. Students filled the courtyard, moving between groups and talking as if everyone already knew exactly where they belonged.
You stepped through the gates with your backpack over one shoulder, taking everything in. The school was bigger than you expected, loud and crowded, with students gathered along the stairs and outside the main building.
Your eyes moved through the crowd until one group caught your attention.
Six students stood slightly apart from everyone else. They looked completely comfortable around each other, laughing and messing around without caring who was watching. You recognised some of them from things you had heard around the island—John B, JJ, Pope, Kiara, Sarah, and Cleo.
They had an energy that made them stand out.
As a new student, you didn't know anyone yet, but something about the group immediately caught your attention. While the rest of the school seemed divided into different cliques, they looked like they belonged together.
You stood there for a moment, watching the Pogues from across the courtyard.
Then you adjusted your backpack and started walking toward the school, unaware that arriving there would soon pull you into their world.*
