Coincidence, was it?

::

So this rant is on how in every book where two opposites attract (good girl and bad boy, player and loser virgin), there's always certain ways that they must meet - it's so stupid and cliché and it pisses me off because it just kills my dreams okay.

It just does.

The first way that they meet:

Tutoring services.

So basically either the girl or the guy is the stupid one, so they have to find help from the smartest person in the school - who also tends to be the least popular and ugly.

Just because of those glasses, of course. Remove those motherfuckers and "wow, I'd never noticed s/he had the most beautiful big brown orbs!"

Lol it's so stupid

Thing is, the stupid one always turns out to be a smarty pants who didnt believe in themselves omfg it's so annoying

Why it annoys me is because it kind of implies that stupid girl needs a boy to show her that she's actually smart, or stupid boy needs a girl to show him that he's smart.

Like seriously, what happened to dumb people always being dumb

From how I've known it (school), dumb people usually remain dumb for a long, long time. In the nicest way possible.

I don't mean it in a bad way.

And another thing is that the stupid one starts out EXTREMELY STUPID, while the smart one is EXTREMELY INTELLIGENT

LIKE HE SHOULDN'T EVEN BE IN HIGH SCHOOL. And of course, the stupid girl usually asks him that and he's just like -

"My mum says she wants me to grow up with kids my own age."

It's so annoying

Sounds like the 1D fan fics where Harry Styles is sent to school or something lol

And the stupid one is usually so stupid that I cannot comprehend HOW such people can even exist

But thing is, it's not that they're that stupid.

It's actually because, when the author has to write some of these tutoring scenes, he or she doesn't really know much about the subject. You get me?

Like let's say the author chooses Chemistry. But the author probably doesn't do it to the level of the characters in her book (they're usually about 16 year olds), so she'd end up writing simple tutoring scenes that in reality, one would learn in Year 7 (Grade 8? Lol idk).

I don't know how to explain.
Let me try an example:

::

"So what do you know about Chemistry?" Geek asked the Idiot.

"I know what Chemistry means!" Idiot replied.

"How about the hydrogenation of hydrocarbons? Or some long-ass complicated name that will make me sound smart?"

"Huh?" Idiot said. Geek smirked. How stupid, Geek thought. This bitch knows nothing.

"Okay, lets start from square one. What is Chemistry?"

::

So you get me? Like if you're a sixteen year old who is failing Chemistry to the extent that you need to go back to the very first introductory lesson, there's something wrong there.

What I'd say is that maybe the author should just put in a little more effort and research so that:
(i) the idiot is not a 3 year old child in a 16 year old's body.
(ii) the geek isn't saying some copy-pasted shit from Wikipedia

I don't know if you know what I mean.

So on the contrary, the smartest guy is out of this world that he even has his own Chemistry lab in the whole school and of course 6 Nobel Prizes for contribution to science lol

Does the tutor even get paid I don't think making out counts as a payment

And lol how could I forget, the Idiot is so fucking popular (society for you) and after becoming friends with Geek, really good friends, will fault out with him (or her) because they're ashamed of being seen with them

Then they have a long speech on how that doesn't matter anymore hahaha

Such bullshit yea

Here's the second way:

Project Partners.

So like because the teacher is always a bitch, they will always have to partner people up for "important projects" that will "play a large part in your final grade." So of course, it's serious and shit

Then good girl and bad boy are partnered together

And the girl is usually like the serious one, then gets pissed at the bad boy because he doesn't care, then a deep lecture from her makes him pull up his socks

Then they'll spend every day on this project

What is so stupid is that it's like they don't have other fucking subjects to focus on?

Like I don't know about you, but I have freakin TEN subjects that I have to do

(Well not as of September as I'm going into A levels, yayy)

So it makes no sense that the centre of your attention is over only one subject

Smh

And then also, another observation is that 90% of the time they spend together, their conversations have NOTHING TO DO WITH THE PROJECT

So like wut

do they even get it done

Then penultimately, the authors never even talk about them handing in the project at the end or whether they got a good grade.

It's always a stupid dance or something to conclude.

(These dances are so overrated. In fact, I feel a rant erupting in me...soon).

Oh and how the kill my 'dreams'?

In real life, when I'm in class and the teacher announces that s/he is pairing us up with someone, it's never my crush

Like I wish so hard

But it's Never. My. Crush.

Or a hot guy for that matter.

It's always such an annoying person like ugh you know what, I don't want to spend time with you I'll just do it by myself

These darn books just be raising my expectations

Grr

::

Of course there are the other ways, like randomly living with them or whatever, but that's another rant for another day.

But, I still love [some] of these book. I really do, because love is amazing and shit ... But stop overusing plots

Seriously

Coincidences can only be coincidences for so long, okay

After a while it's like, gaaahh YOU CAN MEET IN OTHER WAYS K
