I can't do this

It was a trap. But I couldn't do anything. Either this or the military and I'm so not ready for that. I need to ruin this thing as quickly as possible. But how? It wasn't even affected by my words or me threatening it. Fine. I'm not giving up so easily. For now I played nicely just to observe how this thing actually works. Maybe, I can fool it with my charm and fake a good boy behavior.
"I'm bored. Entertain me"
Of course. It stared at me like it didn't understand anything.
"Here I thought you can speak English"
This is why I despised these things a lot. No matter how humanlike it was, but you could tell it was just a soulless object with no fucking brain.
"I do speak English and I can translate any language with 90% accuracy. Alas, I am not here to entertain you"
Wow , of course you are. And you'll do as I say.
"Did I shutter? Entertain me. You're MY *robot* "
Nothing . No response , no reaction.
"Bitch I said , entertain me! I am bored !"
You know how humans react when you are insulting them? And I do it for fun to see how offended and mad they get.  But this thing...
It wasn't even fun even for a bit.
"May I ask if you see me as a female dog ? If not please don't call me like that anymore. I have a name, you can use that"
"Bitch"
I said again, louder. Despite the fact I knew it won't trigger any reaction at all .
"You act like a spoiled child. Your father told me I don't need to tolerate it. Do you think the military will be fun and game? Mr. O'Hara, you're not going to ruin or offend me. You can keep going with your silly childish insults. You have a month to show progress "
Wait what ?? A month? Did I miss something?
"What did you just say ?!"
"You heard me clearly and well. We have one month till you either start showing progress or. Well, you know the rest"
Fuck it. Fuck it ...
Dad missed to mention this part! I bet it was on purpose. He thinks I'll start to work together with this machine. But for now, I must. At least pretend.
"Fine! What the fuck do you want?! Are you happy now ? You want to ruin my life you stupid trash! "
"Sir,  I'm not the one ruining your life, it's you by making bad decisions. I'm here to fix it and I'd be glad if you could work together with me. We can even be friends. I heard you lack of them"
Yeah.. as much as I hated to admit, yes, I don't have true friends. Gold diggers, ass kissers, fake idiots. But not a single real friend. No one who I could rely on. Who I could trust . Who I could hang together with. I mean yes I hang out with these guys but they do for my money. And I know that they talk shit behind my back. I sighed. I wish I had someone who I can call a friend who'd also like me for who I am and not for what I have. But can I blame people for hating my guts? I hate them too. I hate myself too.
"Mr. O'Hara?"
I zoned out. I shouldn't care about having friends or not. I shouldn't feel bothered by the fact I don't have a single soul who'd willingly be close to me. When I feel hurt, I shut down. My mind works like this. Instead of getting angry I'm calm.
"What now?"
"You went pale and silent for a long minute. Is everything alright?"
I pursed my lips. I wanted to be anywhere else but here.
"You don't need to pretend you care, only because father of mine asked you to do so"
"Mr. O'Hara, let me tell you this. Yes, your father asked me to keep an eye on you, to help you, to be there for you. But I asked if you are okay because I care"
I left it alone . Dumbass. If my day has to be ruined, let it be in my way. I headed to my room to have some liqueur and get shit faced.
In a single minute , I could hear steps following mine. I didn't even need to look back to know who or *what* was it.
"Mr. O'Hara, you haven't answered me yet and your state is quite worrying"
I turned on my heels and slammed my fist on it. Being a moron I have totally forgotten that it won't feel anything.
"Stop pestering me! Stop following me! You don't feel! You can't be worried! Leave me alone finally! Don't you have better thing to do?"
....
....
"No"
One simple answer and it's hand moving mine away. I felt awkward , noticing just now how long my hands were on this damn toy.
"And please stop trying to hurt me, you'll harm yourself and I would hate it"
I sighed. I sighed so loud to get calm. I can't do this. My mind is a mess, I need something to let the stress out.
"Can you... "
Take a deep breath Will, you got this. For now
"...can you be less serious and more fun and mostly not be pain in my ass? I just want to get over it. As fast as possible. So if you leave me alone and let me be I won't fuck you up. Got it ?"
"I can't allow that"
I facepalmed. So hard that I felt my palm numb.
"Miles! I fucking asked you to leave me. Go and do something and I do my things and we won't be problems for each other"
*Miles*
I caught myself being furious yet calm at the same time and I don't even know how was it possible. I even called it by its name.
It smiled. Smiled ... If I didn't know, I could now swear, it wasn't actually a dumb machine but a person.
I started to observe him a little more. His face actually. How could they make a machine be like this? This is beyond me. Not like we knew each other for that long but it was the first time I didn't feel threatened by his presence.  It had soft brown eyes, with slightly visible wrinkle under it's eyes . It didn't seem any different from an actual person. Creepy...
"Wash that smile off of your face. I'm not a clown to smile about"
"You called me by my name . It means a lot. Thank you. I hope it'll be the beginning of a nice friendship"
I gave up. For today. I let it follow me around and talk whatever it had to. I didn't have any idea how to get away from it . I didn't even have energy for that .  My first day with this thing was quite blurry.
