As A Cliché: A Short Story

Day 3

DEDICATED TO ALL OF THE AWESOME LOVELIES WHO ARE READING THIS. THIS STORYS BEEN UP LIKE ONE WEEK AND ALREADY ALMOST 100 READS THANK YOU SOO MUCH!!!!

I awoke this morning to the squeak of my window being opened and Jax making his way agilely through my room.

I smiled in my head as he got ready to wake me up.

"Wake up Katie!" I gasped, bolting upright in my bed as Jax dumped a bucket of freezing cold water on top of me.

"Oh my gosh, why did you do that Jax?" I wiped the water out of my eyes to glare at Jax, who was sitting at my desk, innocently flipping through my art textbook.

"I just thought that pulling your duvet off like usual would be too cliche"

I groaned and fell back onto my now soaked pillow.

"You're still mad at me?" I asked Jax who now was pulling clothes from my closet.

He shook his head and laid the pile of clothes on the foot of my bed.

"I'm just trying to help see?" He held up a baggy hoodie with some sweatpants and Uggs. I am so not wearing that.

"It's too cliche to pick out your own outfit"

I huffed in annoyance at his cheerful and overly chipper mood.

"Thanks Jax but I'm not wearing that" I threw the clothes into my closet and grabbed a towel.

"Oh but the cliche thing to do would be refuse right?" I could practically hear the smitten look on Jax's face I turned towards him and slowly forced a bitter smile.

"Ya know, you're right Jax"

I snatched the clothes from his hands forcefully and walked into my private bathroom.

"Showers in the morning are too cliche Katie"

I felt like screaming and pulling out my hair as Jax kept on annoying me.

"Shut up!" I yelled through the door. Jax just laughed, wait no... cackled behind the closed door.

I felt the splintering headache form in my head, as I turned on the hot water. I swear I'll kill him if he tells me hot is too 'cliche' and it must be a lukewarm instead.

I was about four minutes into my shower when Jax started banging on the door.

"Come on Katie! Five minute showers are SOO cliche!"

I growled and ignored him. finishing my shower I drew a towel around my hair and got dressed in the clothes Jax picked for me to go to school in.

"Really Jax?" I glared at him through the mirror, staring at my reflection I felt my self esteem slowly bubble away.

He made me dress in my baggy under-armor sweats along with his school baseball shirt. I looked over to a grinning Jax and stuck my tongue out at him. He chuckled and got up from my bed.

"come on we're gonna be late for school"

I huffed and followed him down through my house, grabbing an apple on my way.

"Apples are really-"

"Knock it off Jax!" I interrupted, causing him to snicker at me again,

"Healthy, apples are really healthy."

I rolled my eyes and bit into the fruit .

"Let's just go moron."

Jax laughed and opened the front door to my house, letting the cool October sweep into the living room.
