More on Bentley

Bentley hadn’t meant to make such an horrible first impression when he first met Fedora, it just happened. It wasn’t like he didn’t give her chance, she was the one who stormed out of the room and didn’t eat dinner with them.
The day after the first meeting Bentley tried to be nice but she wasn’t having it.
“Hey,” he said the next morning.
Fedora just ignored him and poured herself a bowl of cereal.
“Sorry about yesterday,” Bentley said, “I didn’t mean to offend you.”
Now Fedora stared at him, “oh really? You didn’t think that calling someone fat would offend them, that’s nice.”
“I didn’t mean to call you fat,” he tried to explain, “I just meant that you didn’t look like your mom.”
Fedora continued to ignore him.
“Fine,” Bentley said, getting up from the table, “see you later.”

And that’s how it went for a while Bentley trying to apologize and Fedora ignoring him. Finally Bentley gave up, this was just how it was going to be.
Fedora was glad when he finally stopped ot trying to apologize, because ignoring him was starting to make her feel guilty.
Still Bentley wished she wouldn’t hate him so much. He had never had a sibling before and when his dad told him about Fedora he imagined all those TV shows with the happy families and stuff.
Bentley had never really had a normal family, his first dad died when he was only ten and then it was just him and his mom until he was thirteen that’s when his mom met Daniel, his dad now, and after about a month of them dating they got married in Vegas and moved there.
Unlike normal teenagers who parents remarry Bentley was okay with it, he thought Daniel was pretty cool. But after a year his mom disappeared and left him with Daniel. Sometime Bentley wondered if his mom would come back, but after awhile he began to doubt that she even remembered him. Though he still wondered where she went.
Then when Bentley was about to start his senior year in high school his dad met Fedora’s mom and that was that. They got married and moved.
