Friends do know

• Friends tease you mercilessly when they discover your unhealthy infatuation with a sports club.
• Friends change the topic of conversation when you start rambling about the said sports team.
• Friends roll their eyes when they see you discreetly scrolling through the sports club's tweets and Tumblr in their presence.
• Friends laugh when you banter about the girl who mistaken your sports team with a notevenworthmentioning sports team who is not even in the same league. Literally.

THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHETHER THEY ARE CALLED CLUBS OR TEAMS!

And when you start to wonder if the friendship is still worth salvaging, they give you an incredibly dull looking 6-inch diameter cake with chocolate frosting and a half-hearted witty tag.

"22 DOUBLE TROUBLE" 

Your name is not even on it!

You cut the cake, imagining it's really their heads your cutting. Or at least the friendship ties. And in your attempt to give them a slice, the final parting gift, something caught your eye. Instantly you remember why you're still friends after all these heartaches.

Because these friends know; It's the inside that matters!

p/s: There's no way we are staying up with you for the Euro 2012.
