The Museum trip
It is break time and Peter and Miles are eating together on a table;
Peter: Hey, you never mentioned the state you came from!
Miles: Uh, well, I come from...…
But before Miles could finish his statement, the bell rang;
Peter: Why don't we walk home together today? Then you can get to meet my family
Miles: But that will be after classes, right! (Smiling)
Peter: Most definitely. I have a perfect attendance, wouldn't want to ruin that now
The two of them stood up and headed towards their class. Later that day, Miles followed Peter to his house;
Peter: I am home!
Paul: What took you so long?
Peter: Sorry baby bro, I had to go to Miles's house for him to change first before coming here to meet everyone
Paul: First of all, never call me baby bro especially in front of your friends. And secondly, isn't this the new student in school that came today?
Peter: Yeah baby bro (smiling)
Paul: (Furious) seriously stop it! It is not funny
Miles: It seems like you guys don't get along
Paul: Don't mind him, he loves teasing me. Hi, I am Paul
Miles: Hello, the name is Miles (shaking Paul's hand)
Peter: Paul, where is mum and dad?
Paul: As usual, busy
Peter: But we were meant to go to the museum today
Paul: I never really put much hope into what they say you know
Peter: Don't be like that, I am sure they will come soon and...…
Just then, Mia and Tony walked in with Rebecca and Ronda;
Paul: (Stammering) Da, da, da, da, Dad!!!!
Tony: Are you surprised to see us son? (Hugging both Peter and Paul)
Paul: Dad, we are not babies anymore. You don't have to hug us like you haven't seen us for a very long time
Mia: Hello Peter, how was school today? (Hugging Peter)
Peter: Hello mother, how was your day? And school was fine. Mum I will like you to meet….
Miles: Hello ma'am. I am Miles
Mia looked at Miles and shunned him;
Mia: Come on Peter, let's have a quick snack and we will be on our way
Peter: Uhmm, okay mum. But can Miles come with us?
Mia: No he can't. He.....
Tony: (Interrupting) Hey!! It will make Peter happy if he came along so why not!
Tony then looked at Miles and said; "Son, would you like to come with us?"
Miles: Well if it isn't any trouble
Paul: Hello mother, how was your day?
Mia: Hope you were not causing any mischief today Paul? Why don't you more like your brother?
Paul: But mum, you are always comparing me with.....
Mia: (Shouting) Keep quiet
Tony: Wasn't that a little bit harsh?
Mia: He needs to understand discipline
Paul went close to Miles in tears meanwhile Rebecca and Ronda were observing everything from the other side of the room;
Mia: What are you doing there girls? Come in
The two girls then walked in and sat down on the dining table to eat;
Miles: I don't think your mum likes me very well
Paul: If she doesn't even like her own son, then I don't expect her to care about anyone else. All she cares about is her darling son Peter
Paul then walked outside the room;
Mia: Okay everyone, let' get going!
Tony: Where are Paul and Miles?
Miles: (speaking from the other sitting room) Paul is waiting in the car
Tony: Why didn't you have lunch with us?
Miles: Well, I...….
Mia: (Interrupting) I packed some snacks for Paul, he can have them in the car
Tony: And Miles?
Miles: Thank you sir, but I have already eaten
They all then went to the car where they met Paul waiting for them. Peter walked up to Paul and said;
Peter: Sorry bro, you got shouted at because of me
Paul: Yeah right! As if you care
Paul then entered the car while Peter followed in with a sad look on his face.
