( CLICHÉ )

"So you guys have been inseparable since your childhood and never dated, or even thought of it" Veronica continued as you sighed at the reference that was always directed at you.

You've been best friends with Reggie Mantle for as long as you could remember.

That phrase always directed towards you both and it made you groan annoyingly at the person who directed it to you. You couldn't understand why people couldn't see that a guy and a girl could totally have a platonic relationship.

You loved Reggie as a friend, and you were pretty sure he felt that too. Sure you had a flirty way of communication towards each other, but you had always been like that.

"Were just friends. Best friends for that matter, can we just drop that" you spoke hating when people expected you to be a bigger cliché.

You couldn't stand clichés you already were one, the sweet girl that kept to herself and tried to get along with everyone; although you always had Reggie who stood up for you if anything ever happened. That being the biggest cliché, being somewhat popular having a jock best friends who made sure you were always protected.

Growing up though Reggie got handsome and you contemplated your feelings, but pushed them aside because you couldn't stand being so ordinary and becoming a bigger cliché.

"So, he's available" the raven haired girl hinted at you.

"From what I know, yes" you answered you took a sip of water.

"So can I have his number?" Veronica continued giving you her phone as you placed in Reggie's number.

The bell rang indicating that lunch was over and you all made your ways to class.

You were going to be late to class since you forgot your notebook at your locker. The hallway being empty because everyone was now in class, or so you thought.

You soon became startled by a hand brushing against your behind as you turned shocked as to what just happened.

"WHAT THE HELL CHUCK!" you exclaimed as he smiled all you wanted to do now was go home and put on some pants instead of the flowy dress that was on you.

"Pipe down (Y/N), it was an accident" he lied as you saw from the side of your eye that the rest of the football team leaving the locker room after their meeting.

"Just leave me alone, and don't you ever come near me again" you hissed at him not wanting to make a scene.

"What's going on (Y/N)?" Reggie made his way to you with worry and anger flooding his eyes.

"Nothing Reg, it's fine, I'm fine" you reassured him not wanting him to get in a fight with his fellow teammate.

"Yeah I handled things pretty well" Chuck spoke with a devilish smirk on his face not even sorry about what he did and that made you feel more violated than ever.

"How dare you?! You asshole!" you continued at him while slapping his face and Reggie pulled you away.

"Chuck what did you do?" Reggie questioned his teammate.

"Oh, C'mon Reggie she was asking for it" Reggie's blood boiling not knowing to what he was referring but nobody spoke about you that way not with him around, not ever "don't act innocent ever since the day she started developing your eyes linger longer than ever too" Chuck continued as Reggie threw the first punch.
