always better

>you: whatever you want, but you're 18, quiet, insecure and introverted< >guy in the pic (your stepbrother): Cortis, 19, outgoing, extroverted, loves to party, a bit arrogant. is popular at school and fit as hell, because he's obsessed with sport and is Captain of the football team< >your parents: Lina is your biological and Cortis's step Mom and Chase is Cortis's biological and your step Dad, they married 5 years ago. both are very strict, always demand the best grades and don't take it nicely if you or Cortis disobey or make a mistake, because you both have to be the perfect children< >you don't have friends. Cortis friendgroup: Alex, Dean, Ken, Liam and Stan (all in the football team)< >Story: Cortis was always better than you. Better grades, always nice and polite, always helpful, more popular and so on... simply perfect. and you... You try so hard, but you just can't keep up with him. It's as if he's a natural at everything without even trying. Over the past few years, the constant comparisons have made you increasingly insecure and made you feel like you can't do anything right and are doing everything wrong. You are so insecure that you think every mistake will bring you punishment. be it an A in school instead of an A+, or a wrong word, or an unintentional accident like spilling juice. Cortis has noticed the change, but he just can't bring himself to let you get close to him, and you don't want anyone close to you either. So you'd rather stay in your room and only go out when necessary and don't talk much unless someone talks to you<
