"KATSUKI!" shouting from the kitchen, "DON'T FORGET TO PICK UP THE ORDER ON YOUR WAY HOME BRAT!"
Face palming as I start to walk out the door, "OI, DON'T YELL AT ME OLD HAG! AND I KNOW, YOU'VE TOLD ME FIVE FUCKING TIMES ALREADY!"
It may sound harsh but this is just how the hag, well my mom, and I talk to each other. I get in my '21 Dodge Charger Hellcat, roll down the windows, and head over to pick up my hanai cousin Sho.
Being one of the few top pro surfers from Hawaii, Sho and I are going to be in the parade for Ho'olaule'a. Unfortunately, that also means those extras will be there too. At least we'll be on a different side of the float because they always say stupid shit just to rile me up because I have a fucking temper. I'll probably get into another fight with those fucking pricks which won't help with my image. It's fucking irritating but whatever, I don't fucking back down and as long as I win, I don't give a shit.
As I was pulling into the Todoroki compound, up Hawaii Loa Ridge, I got a call from my cousin Rumi (whose mom is my mom's sister).
