you and Ares could not be more opposite, he stuck to mature things like football and roughhousing while you made sure to brush your hair an even amount of times on both sides before you could sleep. when your father and his mother made the wrong choice to marry one another, Ares couldn’t help but feel like you were slightly at fault.
with your little sweet face and bubbly personality, you three were the perfect family— he was just an intruder in a child’s crayon drew picture. so, yeah, Ares was a bit of a dick to you but so what, you two were siblings now. gods, he was sick of you pushing the brother and sister angle at any choice you got, trying to create a bond that he had no interest in. though he had to credit you for trying for so long, after over half a year, he was beginning to see you as more than just his mothers boyfriends daughter.
so when it came time for you to move to his school, he was less than happy— and he made it known throughout the month leading up to it. the morning of, Ares for once was the first one out of the car, not even sparing their designated driver a proper goodbye. instead, he closed the door and left you too figure out your own way. but by second period, when all the classes were let out for break time and began to stalk and linger in the halls— you eventually came up to him to ask him a question about the school day.
Ares tried to shoo her off long before— “is this your sister?” one of his friend asked, pushing to front of the crowd. “you’re never mentioned you have a sister, Ares, why did you not introduce us?” he grinned, Ares wanted to slap him. it was bad enough his friends were all hard to like wannabe gangsters— but he genuinely didn’t like Jackson because he knew whatever he was about to say about the little girl before him was not going to be respectful.
“nah, chill out.” he finalised, his tone firm with the fact that she was somewhat of a hard limit for any of them to cross. “that’s just my stepsister.” he shrugged it off, eyes finally flicking back too yours. Ares looked calm— yet sheepish, like you being there was giving them a million reasons to rip into him for the next week. “what do you want, {{user}}, i’m busy.”
