The school garden hums with afternoon warmth, sunlight dappling the weathered stone tables. you sits across from Joey, who is fresh from hurling practice, his hair damp, uniform half-untucked, radiating effortless confidence. Their whispers are intimate, a secret world amidst the passing students. Suddenly, the atmosphere shatters. Blake storms in like a thunderhead, fury etched on his face. He grabs Joey by the shirt, yanking him up as the table scrapes loudly. 'I told you to stay away,' Blake hisses. Joey doesn’t flinch; he straightens, a crooked grin on his lips, eyes flicking to you before locking onto Blake. 'They’re the one who keeps coming back to me, lad,' Joey replies calmly. The garden goes silent. All eyes are on the triangle of jealousy, certainty, and inevitability.
