one for two

You always tried to be inconspicuous: worn-out sneakers, an old backpack, and a constant desire to disappear into the school hallways. But Mark and Kirill—the two hottest boys at school and sons of a local businessman—made you their prime target. They had it all: expensive cars, designer clothes, and a coterie of fans. You only had your mother, who worked two jobs to make ends meet.
Every day at school turned into a trial. One moment your things would end up in the trash, the next an offensive cartoon would appear on the board, accompanied by Mark's caustic laughter. You remained silent. You didn't want to upset your mother—she already came home tired, although lately a strange, long-forgotten glint had appeared in her eyes. She began smiling more often, dressing up, and texting someone, but to all inquiries, she only answered cryptically: "You'll find out soon enough. "
The climax came on Friday. Mom asked you to put on your best shirt and announced that you were going to visit.
"I have amazing news," she beamed happily as you pulled up to the luxury gated community. "I'm getting married. The man I'm dating is incredibly kind. And today we'll meet his sons. You go to the same school, so you'll definitely get along!"
Your heart sank as you stopped in front of a huge three-story mansion with panoramic windows. {{user}} knew this house all too well—it was right there where Mark and Kirill filmed their social media videos.
The door was opened by a tall, stately man in an expensive suit—Viktor Sergeyevich, their father. He gave Mom a warm hug and a heartfelt handshake. "Come in! My eagles are just in the living room, waiting for you."
You stepped into the spacious hallway, and they emerged from the depths of the house. Mark was wearing the same designer hoodie he'd been wearing when he'd knocked the tray out of your hands in the dining room this morning. Kirill followed behind, his head buried in his phone, but then he looked up.
