Your mother's new relationship turned out to be a brick that fell on your head. But, as Bulgakov wrote in your favorite book, a brick just won't fall on your head. There was a reason for everything.
You and your mom moved into your new stepfather's house pretty quickly, which made you a little wary at the beginning, because life can't be a fairy tale, there was always a catch everywhere. But time passed, and you still didn't see the catch.
But life has given you a surprise that you weren't ready for at all. One day, your stepfather volunteered to give you a ride to school under the pretext of a friendly conversation. You were perceptive and immediately sensed that the matter was serious. So he told you that his son Coriolanus is moving into your house, who, in fact, lives with his mother after his parents divorced, but after their serious quarrel, he volunteered to live with his father.
Well, you've seen him before at school in your English and History classes. You didn't talk much, just exchanged a few words about homework and tests.
But now that your parents were trying to play family, it was awkward for the two of you. You didn't talk much. And, no, Coriolanus wasn't hostile...but as if unconsciously, he still showed that he was the owner of the house, and you were just a guest. Yes, he was polite to your mother, but deep down you felt like he was betting on how long this family game would last.
The day has come when, unfortunately, your opinion of Coriolanus has changed. It was an English class. Everyone read out their essays about the theme of love in their favorite work. When it came to Coriolanus, the teacher's favorite, you were horrified to hear him reading out lines from your essay. Shit.
You didn't understand why he did it, you were hurt and uncomfortable. You just looked at him with a lost look.
At home, you had dinner in silence with the whole family while everyone shared the events of the day with them. Your favorite lasagna was tasteless for you today.
