"MOMMY'S HOME!

"Years of love have been forgotten, in the hatred of a minute." ~Edgar Allan Poe.

Vikram's pov:

I put down the plastic Barbie doll and rushed outside. It was just me and Rob looking over the edge before our younger friends skidded to a stop beside us.
"MOMMY!" The children yelled as they all rushed down the grand staircase and slammed into their mother. She said something that made them all back away and look down.
"Quick Guys, lets go" Mitch mumbled "if my mom sees you, she'll kill me for bringing guest.
"MITCHELL!" The mothers voice rang. We all back scooted from the railing quickly as Mitch went forward.
"H-hey Mom!" He stuttered.
"Come down here" she paused before she started up again. "Come down here and bring your new friends. I want to meet them."
"That's ok mom, they were already-"
"Just bring them down here!" She yelled. He turned to us and motioned for us to walk down the staircase behind him. The mothers hairs was short and curly, maybe a bit frizzy. She was tall....6'3 maybe. I literally had to look up at her, I guess that's where Frankie got her hight. Curse me and my 4'8 feet..........
"Can they have dinner with us?" Mikey asked. I could see Mitch on the other side of his mom waving his hands in a crisscrossing formation above his head and shaking his head.
"Wellll-" the mother began.
"Can they, can they, can they?" They children begged.
"ALRIGHT, JUST SHUT UP" the mother yelled. The children instead of erupting in cheers, they shrunk back in fear. I think that we did the same.
"Madam" one of the maids interrupted the silence "t-the food is prepared"
"Good, give me a second. Mitch, take care of the children and for goodness sakes. Get that mud of Mikey, if I find it in my white carpet, I'll kill you" She bossed around as she started up the grand staircase.
"Ok guys, let's get you cleaned up. Mikey, shower" Mitch shuffled the children to a room before remembering about us. "Call your parents that your staying for dinner and then follow me into the bathroom"
"My parents won't care where I am, I'm ok" Jerome said as he followed Mitch into the bathroom. I shrugged my shoulders and we all followed him. Soon we were seated at the big table. Some rice, stake, mash potatoes and green beans on my plate.
"So is it just the four of you?" Mrs. Huggins. 'Four?' I looked around the table. One, two, three and me that's four, where's Preston?
"Preston in tiara!" Sammy giggled. Rob shot out of his seat and rand out of the room yelling 'I'm coming Preston!'
"What...." the mother question. We all looked at the small giggling three year old.
"Preston in tiara" she repeated. We sat their, confused.
"Well then, let us introduce ourselves! I'm Lachlan power!" Lachlan bubbled. She shook his pale hand.
"I'm Jerome Aceti, ma'am" the second youngest introduced.
"I'm Vikram Barns, Ms. Huges" I summed up all my courage and introduced myself. I nodded my shy head and avoided eye contact. I felt Lachlan rub my back.
"Ok guys, I got him!" Rob strolled on in along with Preston behind him.
"Never again am I playing dress up with you, Samuel" Preston shuddered as he peaked off a piece of tape.
"Introduced yourself, men" Ms. Huges spoke.
"I'm Robbert!" Rob greeted as he seated himself next to Teddy. Rob nudged Preston when it became silent.
"Ow-oh" Preston caught Robs glance "I'm Preston"
"Are you all in the same grade?" She asked. We nodded our heads, not all the same classes...but were not being into the details. "Is he behaving himself?". Mitch gave us a pleading look, asking us to lie.
"Of course, ma'am" Rob reassured her.
"How about his schoolwork?" She questioned
"I make sure that he dose it" Rob mothers.
"How about his attitude in school?" She asked.
"Oh, uh. He's fun to be around, if that's what your implying. I don't really understand what your saying, tho." I've never hear Rob so formal.
"Great" she nodded her head in approval. Mitch gave her a questioning look, what is going on? Why is she asking us so many questions, dose she not spend her time with Mitch.
"Mommy! Want to know what happened!" Teddy asked
"Oh-uh, yes Frankie" the mother appointed her attention onto he three year old.
"I'm not fwanie, I'm Teddy!" She huffed as she crossed her arms. A tinny pout forming on her pink lips.
"I'm sorry" Ms. Huges apologies "continue, baby"
"Me and wob (A/N: Rob if you don't understand) and-and mitch played Dolly's!" She glimmers.
"Did you?" She asked. Theodore nodded her head excitedly.
"Hey mom, guess what I did today! Want to guess? I bet you can't guess, guess. I'll wait-" Frankie babbled.
"Tell me already, Theodore!" She I erupted "AUGH, I mean Mikey-no Samu- I MEAN-"
"Frankie, mom. Me and Lachlan played 74 questions, is that what it was called? I hope so....it didn't feel like seventy-four questions. I think both people have to ask questions? But we stopped playing, why'd we stopped?" Frankie huffed.
"Eat your dinner, Frankie" Lachlan instructed. Why can't her mom remember the children's name? It's not that hard... and why is she asking all those questions?
"Vik!" Preston yelled. I snapped up from my daydream and looked over to Preston.
"What?" I questioned. Everyone was getting up.
"I said 'are you ready to go home?" She repeated. I blushed and hid my head in my hands.
"Oh, yeah" I mumbled. I stuffed my face with rice and got up.
"You got rice on your face!" Mitch laughed. I tried wiping off the rice but failed.
"You still have some on your face." The eldest joked as he wiped my face. "Their!"
"Thanks mom" I joked
"Anytime, Vik" Rob also wiped some rice off my shirt.
"My goodness, Vik. How do you even eat?" Rob scolded at me. I shrugged my small shoulders. I slipped on my jacket.
"Hey, can I call you mom now?" Jerome asked.
"What the- ew. No" Rob answered the second youngest question.
"That's weird" Preston gave us weird looks.
"BYE BYE!" Sammy yelled. The rest of the kids were now yelling too.
"Bye!" We waved as we headed out the door and onto the sidewalk. The walk was quite, the wind was racing. We heard yelling and crashing coming from his house. We all stopped and looked at one another.
