Chapter 8 .... Cliché

Cliché: an idea or phrase that has been use so often that it no longer has much meaning or is interesting.

******************
After what happened that day the
rest of the days went by peacefully.

Oh, who am I kidding it was killing
me that my boss wouldn't even spare me a glance after that day. I wish I never brought that up so that atleast I would get to be friends with my boss.

I didn't have 'much', scratch that, 'any' friends cause somehow someone discovered the amount of my allowance money and the fact that my parents were filthy rich.

That someone spread the news and suddenly everyone wanted to be my friend. This got me real mad cause I wanted friends for who I am and not what I am.

The only real friends I had were my butler, the family chef whose name is Tyson yep she's a she but she was named that because she has the body structure of Mike Tyson and my last friend is the masseur and I can say that Jake's hands were specially made by God for his profession that's how really good he is. So there they are my friend.

In my place of work I've made friends with a lot of people and they are really nice.

When the 'Boss' doesn't need me we as in the staff in the open office on my floor are together gisting and laughing but if we are caught our names will go down to the history of fired workers. Anyways where is the fun if there isn't any risk right?.

Currently, today is finally Friday the long awaited day for workers cause some people party on Fridays and have fun, the drunks get a hangover on saturday and the ones in their sane and solemn state go to church and after the mass have a little fun before preparing for the first worst day of the week, the monstrous 'Monday'.

In my place of work all the workers play games on the Friday starting from 4.00pm till around whenever but before 9pm.

**********

''Oh my gosh, it's already 4 o'clock ''.
As if on cue the secretary Gabby just walked into my office.

''Hey Mel we are about to start and you know it won't be complete fun without you''.

''Alright I'll be down in a seheccc..''
Okay now I'm in the game room and you wanna know how? Gabby dragged me down here.

Looking around I could see all the workers and we are much you know the saying ' the more the merrier''. I know this game will be lit and thank God I wore suit pants today cause they were all sitting on the floor.

I walked to the middle with confidence and shouted ''Let's get this game started'' expected excited screams but my response was someone playing the cricket sound and everyone one burst out laughing.

My face was beet root red with embarrassment until someone and when I say someone I mean the guy who made the cricket sound apologised and the next thing everyone started screaming 'Ey oh, Ey oh'.

''Everyone settle down,'' it was the M.C speaking and we all sat down on the floor gathered in a circle '' for today the theme is spin the bottle but instead of only the usual truth or dare the person who the bottle is pointing at will give us a game to play. There will be a reward for the coolest one mentioned tested and tried''.

Everyone went wild but when we all saw the boss pass by the door cause it was glass so we could see him, there was pin drop sioence and when he finally passed the game began.

It landed on a guy named Thane and boy was he handsome. His game was Truth or strip 'cause he was a perv. In this game if you dont answer the question or lie and if you're thinking how we catch lies we have some living bugs but in the form of humans who like stalk us the workers for gossip but unluckly for him it was mostly the guys stripping but luckly for some girls you know and before the game took an immodest turn the bottle was spun again.

It landed on another nerd guy named Milton and we played cherade which almost took an overly immodest turn, dont even ask me how ( you might be thinking if we were grown ups how come we didnt allow it to go that far but the thing is that the reason for the games is so we could bond like a family and not open display of immorality).

The bottle was spun again and it pointed at me I thought hard abd finally thought of something and here it goes.

''Ok guys I know some of us read romance novels and it's sickly clichè so lets share those cliche moments starting with me. Ok, I hate those moments when the girl gets the idea the guy cheated on her but it turns out to be a misunderstanding. Now if you agree please shout clichè''. Almost everyone screamed clichè.

A guy named Maria was next ''Emmm..., Aha,when a guy sees a girl and he knows she's the one cause at that moment she was only the one he was seeing and his heart started racing when she smiled at him and he almost became a puddle when she spoke. Guys, I watched a movie like that but that ain't how that shit works in real. It was tested and tried, result?It was a huge epic failure so advice to y'all here if you're still waiting for a guy or gal to make you feel that way before you get married just be prepared to be a celibate for life''.

Joey, the software Engineer said'' Bro, we wanted a clichè not a life lesson but I agree with you man''. He looked around and nodded then like a boss he flicked his finger and we all screamed ''Clichè''.
Next was a girl named Michelle '' Okay yo what's up?''.

We all answered ''We good Obama'', you get it? Michelle Obama. Whatevez.

She continued '' In Alpha novels, the pack must the male mate must be the the Alpha of the strongest in the world and I'm beginning to doubt the strenght hierachy of the Alphas''.

We all responded 'Clichè'.

It went on and on with people saying stuff like in Billionaire serues the guy is the richest or second richest to his father whom he'll take over from or the fact that the guys are drop dead gorgeous or the girl thinks she is plain but the bad guy or the jock or even the most handsome guy who is a Billionaire in the novel thinks so and they surely end up together.

In the high school series there are always three divas with a queen bee and at the end the so so called plain girl gets the guy everyone is dying for, makes new cool friends and puts tje queen bee in her place.

In the Vampire series, the guy either buys a pet and falls in love or the other way round and the clichè troubles follow or the girl was fed from, became unconscious and was kidnapped by the vampire and in the end they all fall in love plus don't forget the fact that the guy or girl is always royalty.

This isn't the end of the list it keeps going on and on but I think you've got the idea I'm not against clichè, I'm just in love with the unexpected and at times I do love clichè I've got to admit.
In the end, you might think I was the winner but no the winner was the guy who started the drinking competition and the whole place was stinking due to vomiting by the drunk but I could tell they sll had a good playing my game and I was more than happy that this night was fun.
I shouted my goodnight imagining me in my bed sleeping till 12 in the afternoon the next but fate always had something on me.

''P.A you are required tomorrow by 8.00 prompt in my office, we've got a lot in how hands to fix and goodnight to you too and with that Audrey my douchebag of a boss left.

Oh he wants me to love and hate him at the same time how? One minute he behaves like an idiot and the next minute he is nice but I'm not the one to toy with sir and you do not know what's coming at you. With that in mind I went home and made a decision and I hope it's a good one.
