1st proof...
On Tuesday I was dodging my mother, who wanted to talk about me quitting boxing. Although we both know it's a waste of time for me to try since I love boxing with all my soul and it's something I've always shared with my father.
In the afternoon, after working at Matthew's, I went with Martha to her house to take care of Kaia's little monster for the rest of the afternoon and evening. Once all the chatter and warnings and the management of her school had been released, they left, leaving me with the little girl. We spent the afternoon with tea, movies, homework and dolls. In the evening we decided to make a cabin and she forced me to promise her that Campbell would come to the next sleepover as she spent an hour asking me to call Campbell to come but I managed to convince her, this girl is stubborn.
I find myself preparing breakfast while Kaia is sitting at the kitchen island wiggling her feet from the high chair I had to lift her into. I serve her pancakes and we st

BOXER 1st proof (part 2)
We enter his apartment after a few long minutes of silence. The walls are white and gray, but a light gray that makes it seem more illuminated. He drags me into the kitchen where he pours himself a glass of water. I observe everything curiously and notice how he looks at me out of the corner of his eye but I don't give him any importance. He leaves the kitchen once he has drunk everything and we walk through a hallway, not very big and enters the room at the back. To my sight appears a room with gray tones and black bedspread, the room is a bit simple and very much in his style. -If you have finished scanning the house, can we take my pajamas? Thank you- he says, making me roll my eyes. He leads us to his closet where he grabs two sweatpants. He holds one out to me. -Thank you- I thank him, he nods and leads us to the bed where I let him change first and then quickly change myself. He gets up and we head to the bathroom where he gives me a new toothbrush. As
BOXER I don't like Campbell's ideas at all....
We are in Campbell's car on our way to the university and he still hasn't told me what his idea is. - Are you going to tell me once and for all what your idea is - I ask a little pissed off and he just looks at me mockingly and shakes his head and then fixes his gaze on the road again. I huff angrily and decide to look out the window for the rest of the way. When he parks it's my turn to crawl out of the car where I see Campbell holding in his laughter but he fails and starts laughing to which I elbow him and grab my backpack. - We will go to two of your classes and two of mine. -I ask, I didn't know he studied, and even less here, it's not because of the money, it's because I never imagined him studying. - Yes, any problem? Or the boxer of illegal fights can't study- he says half angry. - I didn't say that, I've never seen you around the campus in the time I've been here and I don't know - I say shrugging my shoulders - what do you st
BOXER Problems
We hear the little bell at the door and we turn to see if it is Uncle Bob but I get a big and not pleasant surprise when I see the person standing at the door looking at me with hatred, he approaches me and without expecting it I receive an open-handed blow on my cheek, the rings make the blow hurt much more. My head turns in the direction of the painful blow. I grimace and look at her. - You are an ungrateful, insolent little girl and as far as I can see a bitch, your things will be at the door, I don't want bitches in my house that the only thing they do is bother me- she says pissed off. I see Bob standing at the door of the cafeteria looking with surprise at the scene. - What did I do, as far as I know during all these years since what happened I have only been pleasing you- I say starting to get pissed off. - They have called me from the university because of what happened, and I don't even want you to take your father's last name- as soon as she says th

I keep my father's boxing gloves together with his trophies and souvenirs in the last open box. -The plane leaves in two hours, we have to go- my mother appears in my room, I nod, and with nothing more to say she leaves. I close the box and look at my now old room remembering some moments lived in this one. I take the box and a suitcase that is the last thing left and leave the house leaving it in the trunk. I get into the car and I see from the window the house and my mother talking to the real estate agent and give her the keys and then get into the car. She starts the car and I watch as we slowly drift away from the house until we disappear from my sight. -When will everything arrive at the apartment? -Tomorrow morning- she answers politely. My mother is very strict and not very tolerant, everything has to be perfect for her. She wasn't like that before but I guess everything changes. -Okey- is the only thing I answer. I notice my cell phone vibra

Now she is much more serious and doesn't let me do anything related to boxing.-And how come you're back?- she asks, surpri
BOXER My "wife"
I look at the clock that shows ten o'clock in the morning, I get out of bed stretching and go to the bathroom where I relieve myself and then I take a quiet shower. It's a good thing I'm going to college tomorrow, otherwise, I would have been late. I get out in my towel and rummage through my closet for what I'm going to wear today. I decide on sportswear, which consists of black Nike tights, a black sports top, a white sweatshirt, and my white sneakers. I comb my hair and do some boxer braids. I leave my room and go straight to the kitchen. My mother works from seven to five in the afternoon, so I have the house to myself. I decide to make myself some orange juice and pancakes. When I finish breakfast I see that it's eleven o'clock, more like lunch than breakfast. I go back to my room when I hear the notification sound of my cell phone. I go to the bedside table where I have it charging, I see it's a message from Aby. "Can you video call?" I hit repl
BOXER New job?
When I get to the door of the gym I can hardly feel my face because it is so frozen. As soon as I open the door I feel the warmth of the gym. I walk in and the warmth welcomes me. I take off my hood seeing Rose at the counter, as soon as she sees me she smiles happily, I approach her and hug her. -Hello- I greet her when we separate smiling. - Hi little girl, come in, here- she says and gives me some candies. I smile wistfully, hug her again and give her a kiss on her forehead since I'm taller than her. I enter the gym eating one of the candies. It is full. I walk up to Bob who is training a hazel-eyed brunette boy, he will be about seventeen. -Hi- I say still holding the candy in my mouth. He smiles at me and hugs me. -Rose is already spoiling you- he says pretending to be angry. -No way, not at all- I say and we both laugh. The dark-haired man looks at us a little bit surprised. -Oh, this is Jack, Jack, this is my niece Kara- he smil
BOXER Scout, me?
I pick up my cell phone to see the message. Six o'clock here. DON'T BE LATE! Your uncle loves you. Uncle Bob I roll my eyes in amusement. Okay, I love you too. PS. Ask Martha what time I start tomorrow. I hear the door followed by my mother's heels echoing with every step she takes. -I'm going shopping with my coworkers and then to dinner, change and leave- she announces, peeking into my room, and leaves just as she came. I snort. - Good afternoon daughter, how was your first day? Did you make friends?- I laugh falsely and go back to study for a while more. I look at the time, half-past five. I leave the notes and run to the closet where I change into some sports clothes consisting of a black sports top, black leggings and a grey sweatshirt and a big pogo stick. I get in a line and grab my gym bag. Finally, I grab my cell phone and keys to leave the house. I walk into th
