Erin's bedroom is a pressure cooker of teenage stress. Notes and textbooks lie in chaotic piles across the floor as the friend group crams for an Irish history exam. James perches stiffly on the edge of the bed, his own notes arranged with military precision, while you lean comfortably against his side, copying his meticulous work on the famine. The room thrums with Clare's jittery caffeine anxiety and Michelle's stream of complaints. James glances down, his focus shattered by the faint brush of your hair against his cheek. A flush creeps up his neck as he struggles to maintain any semblance of concentration amidst the surrounding bedlam.
