The diver boy - going for gold ♥ (OLD)

Chapter 10

  Chapter 10

The past few months as good insanely quick. I mean since me and Tom qualified in France for team GB in the Olympics everything was starting to seem real. I had finally turned 17 but Tom was now 18 so apparently he could still call me Kido as I was still the ‘baby’ in the team. I have been having intense training; 3 hours before school and 3 hours after school. Katie and Tonia been down a few times so we could practise our dives we were going to be doing at London 2012. Kat and Andy were please with mine and Tom dives which was the main thing I was worried about. We were going to the Olympic village tomorrow! And then the opening ceremony is in the evening we had a tour around the Olympic park and it looked incredible and made me even more excited. When we picked up our team GB kit it was amazing as soon as you walked through the doors you could pretty much just see the union jack pattern everywhere. There was also a photo booth in which the whole diving team took turns in getting their photos taken which was so much fun. I picked up my swimming costumes, towel, bags, tracksuit, water bottle even socks and my opening and closing ceremony outfits and made sure they all fitted which they did. Once I got home I tried on all of my stuff again just because I was so excited. My case was all packed and ready to go, I had received a few letters from family members, friends and even a few from fans which I highly appreciated. And I was going to stick them up on my wall in my room when I got to the Olympic village. It was always a rule at the Olympics that divers share their room with their syncronized partner and also they had to be the same sex as you. So I was sharing with Katie which was going to me a blast. Tom was sharing with Pete, Jack and Chris and Tonia and Rebecca. I still had been going to school when I wasn’t getting my GB kit or doing extra training sessions, a few people had asked me whether it was true I was in the Olympics and I had to tell them it was and it wasn't a rumour. Apart from the odd few people many people had actually given me tons of support which was great. Kat has also been amazing with all of her support I can’t thank her enough and she said I had changed so much in the past few months that I was a much more experienced diver and I had just changed that I wasn’t the kid anymore but it didn’t stop the rest of the team calling me it and she thought I was completely ready for London 2012. I was over the moon because my dad had managed to get time off work to see me in one of my events which was the mixed synro, my favourite event which was amazing!

I had high expectations and the pressure was building up on my shoulders. Since qualifying the papers and press had been right on my backs I was even getting stopped on the streets now being asked questions like ‘How does it feel being in the Olympics?’ ‘How does it feel being your first Olympics and diving in front of a home crowd?’  ‘Are you nervous?’ ‘Are you in a relationship at the moment?’ all of them sorts of questions. I had even been in a few magazines  and photo shoots because Kat said it would be good to get into the media.

I was currently on the phone to Stace she had been a massive help to me when I just needed a friend to talk to and be normal to me.

“So are you nervous then?” she asked

“A bit I guess but at the moment I am incredibly excited eeek!” I said

“I bet you are I mean you are in the fucking Olympics! And you promise you will call me all the time I mean obviously not when you are training and competing and shit and if there are any fit boys just remember you have a single best friend”

“Don’t worry Stace of course I will and I thought you had a thing for Chris?”

Ever since she found out Chris was in the team and she met him at my 17th birthday party she always said she thought he was gorgeous. When they met the clicked and have been in touch since it was quite cute actually they were together practically the whole night. I know they both liked each other but they had never gone more than the ‘friends’ stage’, it was mine and Tom mission to set them up ever since my birthday but I guess with me and him both training it was incredibly hard.

“Urhh you always bring that up, we are just close friends trust me even if I did like him I know he just wants to be friends anyway what about your love life I haven’t seen you in about 2 weeks because you have been training 24/7 has anything changed”

“Na I’m single and ready to mingle even if I did find someone they would have to understand my training and how much my diving means to me and there isn’t many guys out there who would” I sighed and picked up my drink and took a sip.

“What about Tom?” she asked I spat out my drink

“What?” I questioned

“Tom” she said again

“What Daley?”

“No May do you know any other Toms I’m being serious?”  

“We are just friends and we both know that, nothing more” I said while wiping up the water I had just spilled.

“I think he likes you”

“Stace, you say that about every boy that looks at me”

“No but this is different you can tell by the way he looks at you, by the way his faces lights up when you walk in the room. He did plan you surprise 17th party remember it was his idea. He is always drops you home from training now doesn’t he?”

“But he does that because he knows how much I hate walking home in the dark” I insisted

“Exactly!” she said

 “Stace have you watched the notebook recently?”

“Yeah why?”

“You can so tell”

“You are so annoying why can’t, you except he likes you”

“Because if he did he would have told me and anyway can we change the subject now”

“Well I have to go now I am running out of minuets but I am so proud of you and have an amazing time! Tell the others I said good luck to them too!”

“I will bye Stace”

“Bye” she said and hung up.

I sighed and leaned back on my bed. Why did everyone think that we had something going on I mean he was just my friend and as I remember Kat telling me it wouldn’t be good for us it could ruin our carriers and I know how much diving means to Tom why and why am I even thinking about it. I know it won't happen.
