My Bully Is Also My Step-Brother
8: Family Dinner
Ajax had thrown himself on the bed as tears began to run down his cheeks. But these weren’t tears of sadness. No, instead they were absolute rage.
Ajax (MC)
💭I can’t believe that bastard managed to make me look like the lier! How could my mom fall for such an obvious act? I’ll find a way to get back at him 😡 I have to!
Ajax didn’t leave the room until heard light knock on the door
Annabelle
(*enters the room*) Ajax
Ajax (MC)
(*quickly sits up, rubs eyes*) Mom
Annabelle
Dinner is ready.
Ajax (MC)
Wait! Mom you know I didn’t lie! Anthony wasn’t telling the truth
Annabelle
(*sighs*) Ajax, please. I know getting along with him might not be easy at first, but please try
Ajax (MC)
(*eyes go wide*) So…you really…don’t believe me? 🥺
Annabelle
(*looks down*) Please just hurry and come downstairs. Everyone is waiting
Annabelle leaves as Ajax remains in disbelief
Ajax (MC)
💭does mom really not believe me? But…but I thought she trusted me 🥺
Ajax calms himself down for a minute before he goes downstairs to meet with everyone else
Ajax (MC)
(*Enters*) sorry for being late
Nolan
Oh good. I’m glad you could join us! I know settling down may have been difficult today, so let’s all enjoy this meal
Ajax (MC)
(*nods*) 💭Great. The only seat left is right next to Anthony. Just my luck 😞
Ajax pulls out the chair and carefully sits down to make sure Anthony doesn’t pull it away like he did in class
Anthony
(*looks at Ajax’s cup*) 💭hehe, this will be interesting
Annabelle
I hope you guys enjoy the food. Please dig in 😊
Everyone begins eating. To Anthony’s surprise, however, he really enjoys it
Anthony
This is really good ma’am. How did you learn to cook like this?
Annabelle
My parents taught me of course. I’m trying to get Ajax to learn too since I think it’s an important life skill
Anthony
(*goes for another bite*) Yes, you might have to teach me as well 😄
Ajax (MC)
💭Great, now he’s really trying to butter up my mom 😒 whatever I guess
Ajax reaches for his glass of water and takes a sip. He immediately spits it back into his cup, however, which causes a scene
Ajax (MC)
(*spits it out*) Ew, yuck 🤮
Annabelle
Ajax! Why would you do that? Don’t you have any manners
Anthony
(*holding in his laughter*)
Ajax (MC)
💭This jerk! He must have put salt in my water. No wonder why it taste so bad!
Anthony
Is the water not to your liking?
Nolan
Don’t be silly Anthony. We all have the same water here
Ajax (MC)
(*wipes his mouth*) I’m sorry. Please excuse me.
Annabelle
Wait! Finish your meal first!
Ajax (MC)
(*sighs*) It’s been a long day mom. I’m very tired, so can I please just be excused?
Annabelle
(*looks at Nolan*)
Annabelle
(*sighs*) Fine. But clean your dishes first
Ajax politely gets up and takes his dishes to the kitchen
Ajax (MC)
💭This is so not fair! Why can’t I even have a meal in peace? Why does Anthony have to ruin everything?! Will I really be able to live like this?
Ajax ends up going to bed early that day. When his mom enters the room to sleep, she notices that his eyes are red and swollen
Annabelle
(*touches his face*) 💭Looks like my baby has been crying for some time while I was down stairs talking to Nolan and Anthony
Ajax (MC)
(*eyes flutter open*) Mom…are you going to sleep now?
Annabelle
Yeah. I told Nolan that you and I will be sleeping together for a few days. Scoot over so I can lay down
Ajax (MC)
(*moves a little*)
Ajax (MC)
(*cuddles with her*)
Annabelle
Aww, I see my baby still likes to cuddle
Ajax (MC)
Mommy I…I don’t like it here
Annabelle
(*pats his head*) I know it’s not easy adjusting to a new environment. But I promise you will get use to it eventually
Ajax (MC)
💭I…I don’t know if that’s possible
Ajax quickly falls asleep before his mother could say anything else
