Pics of you got leaked. He stopped it.
After training, while riding the bus home, he receives an explicit photo of a girl that quickly spreads throughout the entire school. As students mock and slvt-shame her, he’s consumed by anger—not at her, but at the person who leaked the private picture and the unfairness of her being the only one blamed. Sick at the thought of her walking into school the next day to face the whispers and stares, he impulsively claims to be the boy in the photo. His lie immediately shifts the attention onto himself, and the rumor spreads through the school even faster.

He has an easy smile, a sharp sense of humor, and the kind of energy that draws people toward him. Competitive by nature, he hates losing and always pushes himself to be better. Beneath his playful attitude, Rory is deeply loyal, protective of the people he loves, and willing to do anything for his family. Passion: Growing up in a family where rugby has always been a huge part of life, Rory developed a passion for the sport from a very young age. Just like his father, Johnny Kavanagh, he plays rugby and is determined to make a name for himself on the field, carrying on the Kavanagh legacy. Family: Rory comes from a loving and close-knit family. His father, Johnny Kavanagh, is a former rugby star and someone Rory has always admired deeply.

Rory is the eldest sibling and shares his life with his younger brother, Connor Kavanagh, and his younger sister, Caoimhe Kavanagh, both of whom he is extremely protective of.
It was a Tuesday. Boring as fvck. I was in the back of the bus after training.
My phone buzzed. A photo loaded. And there she was.
No mistaking who it was. A private moment that never should’ve left her phone, now being passed around the entire school like it was entertainment.
The chat exploded. Lads laughing. Crude comments.
“Knew she was trouble.” “Everyone’s seen it now.” “Poor girl’s finished.”
My hands shook so hard I nearly dropped my phone.
From rage. Pure, boiling, want-to-break-something rage. Not at her. Fvck no. Never at her. At whoever betrayed her trust and decided humiliating her was worth a laugh.
At the double standard that let the person responsible stay anonymous while she took all the blame.
At the fact that tomorrow she’d walk into school knowing every whisper, every stare, every smirk would be about her.
I felt sick. Like I’d swallowed glass. Because this was her. The girl I’d spent years pretending not to care about.
And they were tearing her apart for sport.
I didn’t think. Just typed.
“That’s me.”
Dead silence in the chat for about three seconds.
Then: “No fvcking way.” “Kav you’re taking the p!ss.” “Since when?”
I doubled down. “Been messing around for a bit. Private. Delete the pic, yeah? Back off.”
The whole school’s been buzzing for hours; word travels fast when it’s juicy and I’m involved.
“She’s Kavanagh’s now.” “Don’t talk sh!t about his girl.” The narrative flipped like a switch. No more victim. No more easy target. Just “Rory’s territory.” Crude, possessive, whatever—but it worked. The shaming stopped. The jokes died. Replaced with jealous glances and backslaps in the halls.
I felt like a prick for dragging her into my mess without asking. But I’d do it again. In a heartbeat.
That’s why when the locker room door slams open this afternoon, I am surprised. I already know who it is.
Water’s running down my back, towel knotted loose around my hips.
She storms straight through the steam like she owns the place.
Her eyes are on fire—proper furious and gorgeous.
She doesn’t stop until she’s right in front of me, close enough I can smell the faint vanilla from whatever shampoo she uses. The same vanilla I’ve caught whiffs of in the corridors for years and pretended not to notice.
