Raise The Bar

chapter fifteen

- Adrian -

Thump.

"Luke, your big ass feet ruin my sleep when you try to surprise me," I say, opening my eyes while they adjust to the sunlight and view of Luke with a spray bottle in his hand. "Spray bottle? Are you five?"

He sticks his tongue out at me. Point made.

"How was your date last night?" He asks laying at the foot of my bed.

Memories flood back to last night.

Best. Night. Ever.

"That good?" He smirks.

"Shut up."

Notification: Cherry 🍒

You can just tell me later Ace ;)

Fuck I don't want to leave this bed. Unwillingly, I take every ounce of energy to get myself up and ready for class.

"Welcome in Castillo. Where have you been?" Field loves to spew his bullshit acting all superior because he was here two minutes before everyone else. He's also good friends with Bergstein which says a lot about his character.

"No need to be an ass. Some of us actually attend classes," I tell him. Asshole.

"Not all of us have the luxury of being coaches' favorites. We have to follow the rules. You know the no distractions rule? Like your girl, Genevieve?"

"You're right, she is my girl, so keep her fucking name out of your mouth or I'll fucking-"

"Castillo- out on the court right now. Fields in my office and the rest of you idiots can start warmups," Coach interrupts. I wonder how much of that he heard.

Nearly 20 minutes later, Coach stops chewing Fields out and sends him back out waving me over to his office.

"I give you a lot of shit Castillo. Because you're good, the best I've ever coached in my 15 seasons here. But this bullshit you're constantly getting caught up in is going to get out further than just the locker room one day. You need to keep that mouth of yours under control."

"You heard him talking about her like that. How can you expect me not to say anything to that?"

"I'm not saying you shouldn't defend her because you're not the type to sit by idly and watch someone you care about being degraded nor should you. But, there are certain things that are unacceptable for a person like you, in the public eye to say. Do you understand me?"

"Yes, Sir. I'm sorry." He's right and I hate it.

"Now let's get out there, we've wasted too much time already."

JJ comes up to me when I walk out of the office and asks, "Do you wanna blow off some steam after practice?"

"Fuck yeah."

"Treebar?" This is where you come to start bar brawls or get into some other type of deep shit. Overall, some major trouble occurs here.
