The common meet cute (ie. bumping into each other, fighting, whatever)
The fortune teller (there to make things interesting, and explain things the author can’t)
The mean girls (oof)
The almost break-up (Oh no! the main characters are fighting!! Turns out Love Interest is just worried about MC and wants to protect them! How cute! let’s completely forget that they were fighting!!)
The bad boy with a tragic backstory (Oh no! he’s a jerk but insecure!! So all the jerky stuff he’s done before is instantly forgiven!!!)
The accidental friend-zone( Literally how the scene goes MC: You’re such a great friend! Love Interest: (Right. friend.) like no joke)
There must be no explanation!!! he cheated on me! Even though i have no evidence besides what I saw, I haven’t talked to him about it, and that girl is the mean girl at school who he hates!!
Theres always a drunk party
Where MC gets drunk and sleeps with
A. Sexy stranger
B. Bad boy/player
MC always has at least 1 or 2 BFFS since they were in elementary school(and never lost touch)
If MC is shy/introverted/modest “friends” always wanna talk about her “ugly” fashion sense and give her a makeover
MC has a crush and always has to lust after or fantasize in a s3xual way…(heavy makeout session=bedroom activities) why not fantasize about just enjoying eachother in a non s3xual way
Most MCs i run across are “sassy” and act impulsively before thinking then cry when they reach their “sympathy breaking point” where we are suppose to feel bad…no…stop and think for like 2 seconds
