Love Stinks; Short and cliché ^^o

This was for an exercise for my expressive writing class ^^o We had to write a short story (300-350 words) using clichés XD And this is what I came up with ~_^

Note: noble seamstress* I hope all of you know that the original word wasn't noble seamstress.. XD And if not, the original word was the other way to say female dog! ^^o


Love Stinks

“Rise and shine!”

“Fat chance,” muttered Jen, burying her head in her pillow.

“Well, at least I tried.”

Jen heard her nanny walk across her room and soon, the curtains were thrown open. Sunlight streamed into the room and Jen groaned. “Life is a noble seamstress*,” she declared, her voice muffled by the pillow.

Her nanny, Mary Sue, laughed like a school girl. “Oh Jen, don’t worry! Be happy! Today is the first day of the rest of your life!”

“You say that every morning,” Jen complained, finally sitting up. “Besides, life sucks, and then you die.”

“Touché! But you know, when God gives you lemons, make lemonade!”

“God? Please.” Jen snorted, crawling out of her bed and heading into the hallway. “We are all alone Mary Sue. In fact, I am better off alone.”

Mary Sue walked beside her, shaking her head. “Don’t say that sweetie. Are you still upset because of the boy that broke your heart? You know there are plenty of fish in the sea. Plus, beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and he was superficial! It is the inside that really matters.”

Jen stomped down the stairs, waving her hand in an offhanded manner. “I know, I know. And you can’t tell a book by its outside cover, right? I know. But life’s still unfair.” She walked into the living room and plopped onto the couch.

Mary Sue quickly came beside her. “I know love hurts Jen. Parting is such sweet sorrow, but you will survive! Whatever doesn’t kill you only makes you stronger. It is better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.”

Jen sighed. “It has to get worse before it gets better, huh?”

“Just remember sweetie, there is a light at the end of the tunnel. All good things come to those that wait.”

“I guess only time will tell.”

The end! :sweatdrop:



Edit: I encourage all you writer's to try this! It's fun and amusing to read at the end ^_^
