You know how life is a jumble of cliches? Like when you bumped into this totally hot guy and he picks up your books for you, and BOOM. You fall in love. And in the end he falls in love with you too? Or when you're in the park walking with your dog. ( which is NOT happening, since I'm allergic to fur and dust. It sucks. I know. ) And then your huge, handsome, and born-of-saliva Golden Retriever suddenly runs on super-speed and decides to run after another white and fluffy dog. And its owner looks at you and again, BOOM. You fall in love. ( Seriously, my computer is turning into a war site with all the cannons ) And then the guy falls in love with you too. Well, let me tell you. This is NOT a cliche story. It's actually pretty realistic, and you might wanna kick the guy sometimes, like I do. But anyway, here's the story. The innocent, not-really-stupid-and-ugly-but-kinda-decent-looking-and-average girl, who found a perfect guy for her, in three days. ( yeah another cliche line, yada yada yada )
My name is Lisa Banks. My folks call me Liz. Some annoying ones, Lizard. I have small eyes, which disappear when I laugh, so I seldom do. And I have an average nose, and a big mouth. Not BIG, just you know, slightly wider. And then, there's my hair, which I always comb, because every strand just likes to curl up together and refuse to be parted by my well, comb. Basically, every part of me screams average. Anyway, back to my story. *smiles.
Wednesday..
There were many things I could tolerate sometimes. Like how my sister picks her nose while I'm eating my food, or when my mum asks me to fold her clothes when she's watching some freaking opera and I had a pile of homework to finish. Or even when the DJ decided to leave my favourite songs on the radio when I had to get out of the car. Yeah I have a short temper, but I really, honestly try my best to hold my anger in. But when you don't even apologise for something you did, now that, I couldn't stand. I just couldn't bare to forgive immoral people.
'Please, pretty please? With sugar on top, topped with some icing and cocoa?' Lexi winked at me, with a cute smile. 'It's just a short walk to the book shop, just a few steps away, please? I've got those freaking cramps again, so I can't really move.' She smiled at me, hoping that I would agree to her request.
'Lexi, it's just a book for goodness sake. Just let it go!' Why would I leave my house for her just to pick up a romance novel for her? Sure, it was the latest edition and the author was holding an autograph session but still.
'Liz. Seriously. I beg of you. Jake wants to read it too.' I snorted. The reason why they were together was because both of them were just so alike. They both had brown hair, both had the same laughter ( seriously ), they had dimples, and they both LOVED reading. I sighed.
'Fine. But you owe me.' She grinned as I walked out of my room. 'Remember to get her autograph!' I just waved my hand in response.

'Excuse me, may I know where's the latest book, Purity?' I asked the woman at the information counter. She smiled at me with pity as though I was going to regret buying the book and pointed to a long queue that hid the books. I growled. I hated to wait. I increased my pace and stepped in line. I looked in front of me, and realized that everyone looked excited to get this book. Apparently I was the only one who wasn't that cheery. Yay me.
Finally after three hours, okay fine, an hour, I had reached my turn. I was so glad to get out of this shop when I felt pain on my foot. It wasn't an instant pain, more like continuous pain, and I realized something had hit me, three times. I screamed shortly to myself, and was so frustrated because of the time I had wasted and my hurt foot. There were three books on the ground beside me. "Little Women", "Jane Eyre" and "Charles Dickens". Classic.'
'Excuse me, can you give them back to me? They're mine.' I turned my head at the sudden voice. It was a guy.He had some nerdy glasses on him and he had really black hair. I didn't really care how he looked like at the moment though. I was angry.
