First story writing; can someone please read over and give feedback and ideas?
You're right, the beginning is a cliche, but don't worry about that at this point. Once you get into the story you'll find the right beginning, or how to adapt this one to eliminate the cliches. As far as where to go from here, think about what this character really wants, and then consider how you can block that desire. How you block it is the beginning of a plot, how that goal is blocked creates tension and conflict, and who blocks that goal also starts developing characters. For example, if what she really wants is to see this guy again, what kinds of things would keep that from happening? Would she have to skip cl, would she have to betray a friend, would she have to turn into a stalker? Make it hard for her to get what she wants, and you have a story. Keep writing and the story will come out. Good luck.
