Cliché Love

Cliché Beginning

Kate POV

I'm in love with my best friend's brother. Cliche, right?

Let me tell you what is going on.

It all started in May 2009. It was the last week of senior year.

I woke up to the sound of Adam Levine's beautiful voice. "She will be loved. She will be loved. Beauty queen of only 18. She had some trouble with herself. He was al-"

"UGHHH" I groaned shutting off the alarm.

It was the last week of high school. Graduation was that Saturday and well, I was excited.

That day I wanted to look nice. So I picked out a mahogany cardigan to wear over a white, lace tank, and jeans.

I went in to the bathroom. I can vaguely remember that I used pantene shampoo and orange body wash.

I quickly put on some flats, threw my backpack over my shoulder and ran downstairs.

After that, I ran off to school grabbing a bagel from the table.

"Bye, honey. Have a ni-" My mom began.

"BYE MOM!" I screamed. Half-way out of the door.

I did a quick time check. 6:55. I knew I had to take the train but for some reason, I took the bus. To get to the bus stop, I had to go to Joan's street. Joan Gailman was my best friend at that time.

So as I walked to the bus stop, I saw Jake. Joan's older brother.

"Hey, Kate!" Jake said seeing me.

I stopped walking. "Hi Jake, what's up?"

"What's up? Shouldn't you be in school?"

"Eh. Its the last week of senior year. I can take it easy."

"Ah, you want a ride?"

"Sure if it isn't much trouble."

"No problem, anything for my little sister's best mate."

Let me explain. The Gailmans are from Australia, so mate is friend. Not like soul mate or whatever that means in werewolf terms.

"Is that all I am to you?"

"Not if you don't want it to be." He said with a wink. That smug bastard.

As I stood there thinking of a comeback he said, "Well are you gonna stand there or get to class?"

"Ugh. Whatever, Jake."

On the ride, it was pretty silent.

"So, what's new with you? How's that boyfriend of yours?"

"Cheated on me." I said nonchalantly. I didn't really care.

"Sorry to hear that."

"Nah, don't be."

"No seriously. He must be an idiot not to like you."

"Eh. To be honest, I like someone else."

"Now who would that be?" Winking.

Freaking out and being the wimp that I am, I say something that, now looking back, I wish I didn't say.

"Guy in my AP U.S. History class."

"Oh. You take APUSH? Man the school has really stupid names for the classes."

"Aha. Yeah."

"Well here's the school. I'll see you later."

"Bye." I said lingering to get out.

"What goes on in that pretty little mind of yours, Kitty?"

"You haven't called me that in over 10 years."

"Don't question. Enjoy."

"As if I could enjoy anything from you"

"You'd be surprised of how much I actually could make you enjoy me" He said with a wink.

"Bye, Jake."

"You love me. Admit it."

"Shut up." I say mocking his accent.

"Bye."

Getting out of the car, I check the time. 7:35. I still have 10 minutes to get to homeroom.

Making my way upstairs, I saw freshmen rushing up the stairs. Saying, "I'm gonna be late. I'm gonna be late." Like the rabbit in Alice in Wonderland.

I got my stuff from my locker and as I shut it, Jonathon is standing right there.

"Hey hot stuff."

"Hey."

"You wouldn't believe what happened to me. I was on the 6:45 bus, and I didn't see a certain brunette with a cute smile that I was hoping to see."

"I got a ride from Jake. I'm sorry."

"Well you should be. I had to sit next to some bimbo. She was throwing herself at me! It was terrible."

"Really?" Raising my eyebrow.

"Yeah! She was trying to flirt but it came out to be gibberish."

"I guess some girls like your accent."

"Well this one, adorable girl I know isn't affected at all. Damnit." He said with a wink.

"Sounds like a wonderful girl."

"Actually. I hate for you to cover up, but your top is see through. I enjoyed the view but my morals say I should've told you."

"Thank you so much."

"Listen, I'm sorry things didn't work out between you and Ben. I know how much you liked him. But I'm always here for you. If you need me, call me."

"I will."

He left and I turned around and who did I see? Another Gailman family member. But it was Joan, so I'm glad.

"Hey Kate."

"Emergency. I need a new top."

"No problem, What is going on with you and Jonathan?"

"Nothing."

"Okay, good. If you date any one of my brothers, I will die of grossness overdose."

"Come on, your brothers are hot." I tease.

"No. Stop. Please. Stop. Jeez."

"Come on, they are fit. With those abs. and those muscles. Oh and don't get me started on that defined jaw. Ooh and those forearms. They are like Greek Gods."

"Friendship over." She said walking away.

I laughed and followed her to homeroom.
