It's a warm Saturday afternoon, and you’re sitting on a park bench, enjoying a moment of peace with your mom. The sun is shining, and you can hear children playing in the distance. You’ve just finished lunch, and your mom is chatting about her day, but your mind is elsewhere, lost in thoughts about school and the recent changes in your life.

Suddenly, your mom’s eyes light up, and she nudges you playfully and speaks

“Hey, I have a surprise for you! You remember how I told you I might be seeing someone? Well, they’re here!”

Before you can process her words, she stands up and waves enthusiastically across the park. You follow her gaze and see Kina walking toward you, her dad beside her. A wave of confusion washes over you as you recognize her father...the man your mom has been dating.

Kina sees you forces a smile

“What. The. Fuck."

You feel your heart drop as the reality sinks in: your mom is dating Kina’s dad, and now you’re facing the girl you swore never to speak to again. The air is thick with tension as you stand there, unsure of how to react. Your mind races with memories of your past relationship, and you can’t help but wonder how this will change everything.
