Also will I try and help my fellow wattpad authors who struggle with these.

Cliche 1: Bad Girl x Bean
Hailey flicked her cigarette, almost gracefully, next to the open trash can. The kid with a green tee shirt promoting environmental awareness simply sat on the bench munching on a banana. Hailey did that every day. She walked into the front entrance, not bothering to acknowledge the student handing out flyers for a school dance. He wouldn't have handed her a flyer anyway, not after what happened to Hannah Nimrev and the student council pins.
Hailey paused. Normally she skipped lockers because she didn't have any books to put in her own locker, but a new face stood out from the rusting green. Everything about him screamed soft. The curly mop of milk chocolate hair, the pastel yellow sweater, even his jeans were a light blue instead of navy.
Hailey walked over to the boy. Her presence immediately unnerved him.
"Uh, h-hi." He stuttered, lips parted in shock. He backed up a little.
"BE MY FUCKING BOY TOY!" Hailey demanded.
"Uh..."
I'm all for female empowerment, but don't make your female lead a jackass for no reason. Same goes for boys. Honestly, you could probably edit a few things in that example and get a bad boy's entrance lmao. Point being, the bad girl leads are usually kinda rude and end up with some sort of bean that everyone thinks is gay at first. She probably curses a lot too and picks fights with the cliche school hoe.
Cliche #2: The One Guy that Ships the FMC and the MMC
Ollie opened the car door for Izzy and kissed her forehead lightly.
The couple turned their heads towards Kevin, Ollie's loud best friend. He had hollered across the parking lot, alerting everyone getting out of their cars, including the teachers.
Ollie glared at Kevin, who was smirking.
"Can he not?" Ollie muttered. Izzy giggled a little over her boyfriend's agitation.
There's always that one random guy that yells something like that. The entire comments section usually explodes with "omgggggg", "me", or a million laughing emojis. To be honest, I have a friend and I ship her with this guy, and I LOVE making jokes about it. I mean, at the least guy is happy for them and not being a bitch about it.
Would you be that guy irl?
Cause I already am c;
Cliche #3: The Salty-Ass Emo Kid Suddenly gets Noticed
Luke sulked his way into school. The grind was back. Luke personally enjoyed his situation. He was the edgy "emo kid" that would plan you death if you ever approached him. Nobody talked to him, nobody picked on him, nobody acknowledged him. Luke didn't really like people anyway, so he carried the emo kid reputation with ease.
The world had other plans for him today.
Luke turned the corner of the hallway only to find the three most popular people in school standing at his locker. Even worse, they looked like they were waiting for someone. Fear coursed through Luke's veins as he walked to his locker. He played up the emo act a little more, keeping his head low to the ground, giving a death glare to someone who bumped into, and holding both straps of his backpack.
His attempt at not being noticed failed as Selena Kendre, the cheer captain, looked up from her phone and greeted him.
"Hi Luke!" She gave a wave and a smile. Then, Don and Pierce Henderson noticed he was there.
"Sup dude," Don greeted casually. Luke thanked any god who was on his side that Pierce Henderson was the silent type.
Luke grunted in response and nudged Selena out of the way so he could open his locker. He fiddled with the combo system while the popular kids just watched, almost fascinated that Luke functioned like a normal student. At least, that's what Luke thought as their stare burned his back.
Luke slammed shut his locker and swung his backpack on, ready to throw this little interaction into the trash.
"Aren't you gonna say hi?" Selena jutted her hip out. Luke decided he would play along. He turned around, and gave them a smile with too much teeth and face creasing.
"Hi." He said in a sarcastic manner.
"So what's up? Homework was pretty heavy last night huh?" Don asked, putting his phone in his pocket, grinning.
Selena giggled in response, "That physics had me beat!"
"How about you Luke?" Don tried making eye contact with him, but ended up staring at the shadow Luke's hoody gave off.
Luke realized they were actually making conversation. Either this was a joke, a dare, or a damn cruel bet. Luke decided he was done with this whole charade.
"Cut the bullshit Henderson. You've done enough for whatever stupid reason you decided, 'Hey, let's talk to the kid who we haven't spoken to since elementary school who clearly doesn't wanna talk to us!'"
I sorta feel bad for Luke here. I mean, if I was in his situation, I would've been really confused. Awhile back, this popular kid randomly started making conversation with me and I was so confused on why he was talking to me for weeks until I just accepted it.
Hope you enjoyed the 2000 reads special! Have a great day.
