Sydney And the Love Triangle

Fighting Words Waterford, Our Lady of Mercy Senior School, 5th Class, 20th October 2026

In the beginning, I was a little girl in a small town, and everyone called me psycho. 

On the first day of term, I saw Toby, and exploded with love. I approached Toby, and I told him I liked him.

Then Livi walked in, Toby’s girlfriend. Her cold, icy eyes met my gaze. She was gorgeous; she had everything I didn’t.

“Get away from my boyfriend”, she snarled at me. 

“Livi! Cut it out!” Toby said

“Okay, let’s go, Toby” Livi said, pulling him down the corridor.

‘I have to talk to him, actually. We’re paired up for a science project,” I yelled at them as they hurried away. My cheeks went red from embarrassment.

My heart beat fast as I walked down the hallway. Next thing I knew, Max walked up to me.

I ignored him, as usual, and instead watched Livi leaning up against her locker. 

She was finally alone... and she was next.
