Synopsis

Chapter 1 - Chapter 1

Introduction: We humans, every day we open our eyes, not knowing what will happen to us during the day. And I was like that ... I waked up without any fascination for the day that will change my life FOREVER!

Day: May 1st

Тime: 7:30 am

The alarm clock on my phone rang. I woke up because of the sound and I became just like any other school day. The sun had already risen. I sat down and rubbed my face. After that, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth. I went back to my room, got ready and went to high school. I was graduating soon, but I was still a regular at school.

I spent an ordinary day in high school. When the classes were over, I went home. This was my favorite part of the day when I would go home and rest.

As soon as I went to the front door, I noticed something that bothered me. My suitcases were in front of the front door and there was a letter over them. I opened it. There was only an address in the letter. I didn't understand anything and decided it was a joke. I took out my keys to unlock, but the lock was changed and the door wouldn't unlock. I decided to call my mother because I lived with her, but she didn't pick up. I had stayed at the door. I waited for hours and called my mother many times, but nothing. Absolutely nothing! It was getting dark. I had to decide, and I did. I went to the address in the letter hoping that my mother was there...

When I got to the place with taxi and all the suitcases, I was amazed. It was not a house, it was like a palace or a mansion. It was quite far from my house and I had never seen it before. I started asking myself a bunch of questions about how my mother could be here because we are not rich people. My mother has a minimum wage. Especially if we think that I will soon finish high school and that the costs will increase...

I knocked on the door. Open a woman who is most likely working or cleaning the house. She was dressed like in the movies, a black short dress with a white apron on the front. She wore something like a white tiara of cloth and her hair was in a bun.

-I ...- I started uncertainly, but the woman interrupted me:

-Come in! - She said and open the door wide. She step back so I can pass with the suitcases.

I went inside with my luggage. The woman took me into the living room. It was huge. The furniture was modern and expensive. As I looked around, I heard a strong, male voice:

-Sit down. Feel at home, because you will already live here. - said the voice. At first I froze, looking at the picture on the wall when I heard what he said. I turned after a few seconds. He was a man about 45-50 years old, wearing a suit.

-What?! - I asked, not understanding absolutely nothing.

- I'm Jonathan Russo. Your mother is gone. I have known her for a long time. According to official documents, I am your new parent and you will live here in this house with me and my family.

-From where you know my mother? Where did she go? I don't understand anything... Even this morning, as I was leaving the house, everything was fine! - I started asking questions and thinking anxiously.

The man gave me a document stating that he had adopted me or something... I don't understand much about the documents.

-That's what I said! Now let the servants take you to your room. Settle down, then go down to dinner to meet the rest of the family. If you have something to ask me, you'll do it after dinner. Dinner is at 20:00. Don't be late! - He said and went away.

I was still in shock and didn't understand anything. I noticed that the servant had picked up the suitcases and was climbing the stairs. I followed her and we went up to the third floor, which was penultimate (I guess). After a short walk down the corridor, the servant stopped in front of a door (white as everyone else's) and opened it. Leave the suitcases. "This is your room," she said and after that left. 

I went inside with the suitcases. I was shocked again. The room was as big as my old house. To the right in the center was a huge bed with curtains protruding from the ceiling around the bed. Opposite was a closet and a huge TV on top. There were three doors on the other side of the room. I opened the one on the left. It led to a room with book shelves and a white desk in the center. I left the room and went into another. It was beautiful and huge. It was a large room and had a bunch of different clothes and accessories. I went back to the room with the bed and looked where the third door led. It was a bathroom.

I didn't unpack my clothes. I left them in the suitcases BECAUSE I PLANNED TO FIND MY MOTHER AND RETURN BACK TO MY HOUSE.
