Her Boys [Oneshots]

Xeni

“Oh no!” Charlotte held her favorite plushy that was now covered in scribbles while Samira and Xeni snickered in the closet.

She began to cry trying to clean the white plush bunny.

“Girls, what's going on?” Amina walked in hearing the little girl cry.

“Someone drawed all over Mr.Snuggles” She held him out.

“That wasn't nice, was it?” She shook her head.

“Don't cry, I'll take him to Doc McStuffins and see if we can fix him, okay?” She asked the six year old with a warm smile.

“Uh huh”

“You still watch Doc Mcstuffins?” Xeni teased coming out of the closet making Samira frown. She watched it too.

“Yeah, stop being mean to me Xeni”

“I just asked a question, no need to be so upset.”

“But it is for little babies. I stopped watching it like two years ago.”

“Yeah, me too. We watch grown up stuff, like monster high, right?”

“Uh huh” Amina looked at her daughter with a hand on her hip. She was trying to impress her little friend and she didn't like that. But she wasn't going to say anything.

“Samira, bring your laundry for mommy please.”

“why can't you do it?” Amina stopped in her tracks and remembered that her daughter had company. She gave her daughter a knowing look before going downstairs.

“Ugh! So annoying, hold on” She told Xeni, grabbing her laundry and dragging the bag downstairs.

“Come here, let me talk to you.”

“No, I'm sorry”

“You already know what you did, correct?”

“Yes, mama. I'm sorry”

“Do it again and I will embarrass you. Don't start showing out because your little friend is here. You're on thin ice, Got me?” She nodded before going up to her room.

“I will ask one more time. Who wrote these swear words on my wall? After this I'm going to start calling parents.” Amina threatened. João and Samira had friends over for the three day weekend.

“Mama, we were in the backyard, ask papa.” João said and the group of nine year olds nodded.

“Okay, go on” he smiled and ran upstairs. Amina turned her attention to the the girls.

“Who did this? If no one knows everyone will go home and this sleepover will be over.”

Xeni nudged Samira.

“Um, I did it but it was an accident” She spoke quietly. She didn't want her friends to go home.

“You wrote this nasty word on my wall?” Amina gave her daughter a stern look.

“Yes I'm sorry mommy”

“Get it off, now” She gritted through her teeth and Samira grabbed a pencil erasing the curse word her best friend wrote on the wall.

“At least your mom didn't spank you.”

“She will when everyone goes home. You keep getting me in trouble. I want you to go home.” She mumbled.

“Mommy” she called Amina to tell her that she  wanted Xeni to go home.

“Yes, come here”

“Can Xeni-”

“Samira hit me, miss!” Xeni walked into the kitchen holding her arm.

“Are you okay? Samira, what has gotten into you, lately?”  She shook her head getting the seven year old ice when she saw the red mark on her skin.

“I didn't do it. She's a liar! I mean. . .she's telling stories, mama.”

“So she just got a mark on her arm for no reason?”

“I don't know but I didn't do it”

“Go up to your room.”

“Mommy I didn't!”

“One. . .” Samira turned on her heel, stomping up the steps. Since she wanted to lie.  She was going to get beat up for real.

-

Samira waited for Xeni to come up the steps before attacking her. She pulled at her hair, tugging her to the floor before she got on top of her and kept hitting her.

“Papa! Samira and her friend are fighting!!” João announced when he walked past her room. Jamie rushed in pulling the girls apart.

“What's going on?”

“I hate her and I want her to go home!” Samira shouted. Her face was red and her fist were still balled up.

“Mimma. Relax. Come talk with papa. João can you take her downstairs to mama so she can clean her up?” João nodded and Xeni followed him.

“What happened?”

“She's being mean to me and Charlotte and she wrote bad words On the wall and on Charlotte's toy. Then she was getting me in trouble and she said that I hit her when I didn't. Mama yelled at me and since I got in trouble when I didn't hit her I just thought I should actually hit her now.” Jamie smiled. she was his little Clone.

“Ah okay. Well, next time just push her or something. Don't beat her up like that because then her mom is going to be mad at me and mama.”

“Okay. But I want her to go home, daddy. I'm not her friend”

“I'm sure mama is calling her parents. I'll make sure to tell them what she was doing.”

“ Can you also tell mommy not to whip me.” She held Her hands together under her chin.

“Whip you for what?”

“She just Is.”

“She won't. Don't worry.”

“She will”

“She won't mimma. Don't worry about it.”
