A mushy heart - post 2

"MOM" Prashant wake up with a jerk. He was again having same dream. Dream, which shows last memory of his mother. His heart was beating really hard. His t-shirt was all drenched with sweat. He took a moment to move the dream away from his mind and let his heartbeat back to normal. Clock was pointing quarter to five. Its 20th of March. The school will start after a whole week. His practice of basketball was due at 6. He got up for bed and start getting ready.
It wasn’t for the first time when he had had this dream. After his mother’s death this dream was quite frequent. Now n then it still haunts him but he managed to get over it now.
When he reached the basketball ground he found jack was already there. Jack’s real name was J. Batra and nobody ever even cared to know what does this “J” mean. He was a tall and dusky boy with spiky hair. He was in a really foul mood today.
“Hey jack, was sup huh! I have never seen you this early before.” “Hey man, I just never understand what’s with my mom dude. She just never understands the situation and just go gaga over it.” Prashant was about to tell him how lucky he is to have a mother but then think better of it. “So what happened this time?” “Oh yeah I’ll tell you. This some Vohra family shifted to house next to us yesterday. “ “Hey” Prashant interrupted “don’t tell me they shifted to our favorite hangout” “yeah boy they did. N now please don’t interrupt me” now even Prashant was feeling somber “ok ok go on” “I was feeling bad coz our place was now gone but when my mom asked me to help them I came along easily.” “Good boy” Prashant said. Jack was burning with fury now “YOU”. “Oh sorry shhh” Prashant now get that its not the right time for fun. “Now keep quite ok” Prashant nodded “ well this started when I was helping that nasty girl in unloading the things and suddenly a necklace of hers broke by my mistake.” Prashant pointed to say something but jack barked “ NO, lemma finish first. That girl made such a face as if someone is dead. You wonder that was just some old piece not worth even a dime n She was about to cry. My mom started scolding me right there as if I was steeling something. I told her that I am sorry n haven’t done that on purpose but kept going on with her m not careful, responsible bla-bla. Know what that girl said on this “aunty its ok”” jack said imitating her ” I was feeling to punch her right there. I am telling you these girls are jerks!” “Hey now come on its…” Prashant was saying when Rahul came with others. “Hey prink! Hey jack! Ready?” Rahul asked. “Hey guys come on lets start the game” Prashant replied while dragging jack towards the court.
