Love Story? Maybe Not.

Chapter 11. Birthdays and little bit before that.

Dear friend,

OK so it's mid October now, yay.

I was a little busy with school stuff last week so I didn't really have much time to write (sorry!) so I guess I'll start from where I left off, at the end of September.

Well, I told you I was going to see that boxing match on the 22nd, right?

Well I went to see my friend, from my old gym fight, hadn't seen him since July when I picked up the tickets, he's probably one of the sweetest guys you can find in a boxing gym (along with Daryl, of course, and maybe Stefan when I first met him last year...)

It was a great night! We had front row seats even though some people stood in front of us, not in our way or anything but one man, a couple of rows behind us, not exactly the picture health either, shouted to someone "Oi fatty! Down in front! Get your fat ass out of the way!" embarrassing his wife, his kids and his friends, while the rest of us found it very amusing.

The guy I knew that was fighting, Kas, lost by one point which was sad as it was his debut fight... But I did get to write an article about it, if you guys want to see it I'll post it after this??

Anyway, since we were sat at the front, some of the boxers came past us to get to the ring! I got a high-five from the one and only Ryan "The Irish-Outlaw" Coyne. He's got some sort of title so he's cool. But he's not Irish, which is disappointing...

I also got a picture with some guy from Doncaster, called Carl Spencer! He's really tall! He had to bend down a lot and I was wearing high heels... (Or maybe it's just that I'm really short...)

At the beginning of October I got a message from Daryl.

"It's my birthday soon!"

Since he'd told me about it, I thought it'd be nice to get him a little present, nothing much, I don't have enough money for anything big...

I was thinking about what to get for him when Abbie, Stefan's new girlfriend popped up, she was probably going to brag a bit about what she and Stefan were planning to do for his 16th (no one wants to know about that!!)

Anyway she said "Hey how are you?"

My reply was "Hey, I'm ok just trying to pick out Daryl a birthday present!" she knew exactly who he was, I'm pretty sure her and Stefan have listened into mine and Eleanor's conversations on more than one occasion...

"What does he like?" she asked

"Umm... Boxing, Drama, Rugby and sheep."

"Get him something to do with them? :)"

"I'm on a very small budget!"

"What about one of these then?" she sent me a link that showed some stuffed animals, cheap and in Tescos!

Apparently there is no sheep toy in that make so I ended up buying the monkey one, it is so cute! And Daryl reminds me of a monkey at times... And I also found a cheap sheep card.

It was all wrapped up in its little bag, I couldn't wait for him to see it! But his birthday was on a Wednesday so I had to wait until Saturday to his face when he opened it.

The days rolled by slowly, it finally got to Wednesday and i ended up posting on his profile "Happy Birthday!! from me and Eleanor" he didn't know Eleanor in person but they both know quite a lot about eachother, thanks to me!

We started talking a lot more then. If I didn't pop up on Facebook and say "heyy" he would and say "Oreyt Phoebe" we still never really talked about anything interesting, sometimes we had long chats about music or food or something but usually just about whatever had happened that day...

When it got to Saturday I gave him his present, Daryl's face lit up and he sat the monkey by our stuff until sparring, then we had a new coach, Coconut (yes, the monkey)

Such fun.
