August Costello.

The worst mistake you can ever make is drink and get drunk with your friends, I know I shouldn't but they sweet talk me. My head hurts so bad that I have been in bed for the past ten minutes just staring at the ceiling like some interesting film.

"Good morning California". I tried to sound enthusiastic but the pound I got from my head makes me shut the fuck

I entered my bathroom and I was not suprised how shitty I look this morning, I take my toothbrush to brush away the badsmell that Alchol leaves later. The mint from the toothpaste makes me feel fresh a little and this a toothpaste I'm  influencing or something to make them gain more popularity from their product

My curls were in the wrong place, it's so hard to maintain curly hair but it's bring the ladies and make you the bad boy of a  state,August costello, California's bad boy
I put my hand under running water and  run my wet hand on my dried hair.

I removed my clothes and turned on the shower, I use my hand to make sure it's the right temperature for me. I enter and a sigh leaves my lips when the water run down my hair to my  scalp to my body. I squirt my body wash on my loofah and I bath myself then shaved my leg and arm

I tie a towel around my waist and picked up my clothes from the floor to the dirty laundry chute door before I dried myself  with my towel before using my oatmeal argan body cream, it smells like good oat meal cookies with some coconut oil.

I wear my clothes and put some vanilla perfume on myself"I need socks" I said, I walk to my walk in closet and looked for socks that had the same actual pair.

"Fuck it, Mismatched socks is the new fashion". I said taking the different pairs of socks and wearing them. I go back to the bathroom to do my hair routine.

I put some conditioner then some curly custard then using my curl brush to put some curls on my head and used a brush to define the curls then out some gel and the hair routine can go on and on again.

We were in Alaska for two months just because Coach wanted us to adapt to the weather faster than the other team, The food was good and the hotel but there's no place like home which is California, a place with many beaches and sunshine.

I go to the pantry to look for food, I'm a very eater and playing hockey made me retain from some food while in match season or being a good leader as a team captain of California's raptor team. I go for the premade waffle mix and apple sauce with a bottle of warm gatorade

I read the instructions and open the box of the waffle mix and poured it in a bowl before adding some water and mixing. I put it in the waffle maker and waited"So, why not help myself to some apple sauce while the waffle become waffles.". I said, I take a spoon and dipped into the jar of apple sauce then putting it in my mouth

"Mhmm". I moaned, I love apple sauce.it was my favourite thing to put any food I was going to eat while growing up.

I groaned knowing I had to fill what I ate today in the book coach gave us, I smirk as I take my pen and flip to a new page
"Apple sauce comes from apples so I had apples". I twist and wrote it down, I take the waffles out from the maker and add a new batch of the waffle batter.

29.07. 2022_ a fruit salad with chicken. Nuggets and two warm glass of milk

They added milk into the batter so it like telling the true but hiding how the milk is added into the meal, I added nuggets since Coach would know it's fake if I did not add something sweet or savoury in it

Apple sauce and waffles are the best one yet out of the many combos I have made,  my phone beeps and I read through the message from Brett, My best friends and a pain in the ass since he brings out the worst ideas and I regret answering him


Brett

Hey man, how's your hangover. Call you later, mine is still on blazing speed.


I finished breakfast and put my plate I'm the dish washer then laid on the couch. I rescheduled my online class because I'm not in the mood to learn business talk at this moment and even do pratice today.
"Mae, Turn on the television please". I say to the artificial intelligence that like controls the house and does task like siri

The home system beep and I snuggle in with the couch when the television turns on, I scan through movie and rush to the pantry to take an apple and sliced it up. I watch the movie since it's not that long.

The movie was actually amazing, the sex
Scenes were amazing and the movie like reminded me of the Blond that I planned to sleep with but she was a red flag so I'd not sleep with her and she was so pissed


I had to go to pratice which was starting at twelve or my dad would never let me hear the end of it. He's a retired coach, I was his little puppet to fulfill his desires

After few minutes of grumbing, I decided to get my ass up to my training centre for pratice and I thought I'm the only one looking like shit but you should see the  team" I don't care if you partied last night, get your ass  here when I call your name".Coach said blowing his loud whistle and I remove my shoes.

He looks at the team and his glaze meets mine then he does the disappointed look,
"Costello, A Word please". Coach says, the rest of the team"ohed" like teens


"Busted". Brett winced from the wave of hangover that he just felt, I roll my eyes before I walk to him, Coach glares at him before we walk to the other side.

"Look August, you're a good kid_".

"Are you removing me out of the team?". I interrupted immediately as he nods no.

"I need you to be more hyped about this. I mean learn how to balance school, hockey and being a captain. They look up to you, I mean it, i need  you to show good examples for them to follow".

"Promise to be better?".

"Yes".

"Can't hear you, August". He says.

"Yes, coach".

"Good, now everyone submit your books.I mean the one for your foods". Coach says, I take my book and give it to him then pass the others to him.

"Jeremy, you don't get a cheat day". He say giving him back his book and he frowns looking at Brett's book.

"Brett, next time you are going to lie make sure you page doesn't have sauce all over it and no cheat day for you too". He adds.

"It's only Costello that does what I say?". He ask, he passes my books and check the others books before giving them.

"Now run around the training center".

"Bu_".

"One". He blows his whistle

He gives us the warning and we began to run, he follows us around to make sure we don't stop running and he kicks me in the butt when I want to take a break

"That was a good twenty lap, Rest". He say and we all fall to sit in the door and pant. He didn't even run with us!

"Get up, You have to get on the ring". He adds blowing his whistle again

How does that damn whistle keep up with all that saliva?
