Save Me From ¨Love¨

Chapter Two: His Name Is...

His name was Johnny Lance, and he was cuuute.

¨Well welcome to Algebra 5-6 Johnny.Now take a seat behind Hayley Haywood.Raise your hand Hayley so he knows who you are.¨ I awkwardly did as he said.Johnny took a seat and the scent of his Old Spice passed by along with him.

¨Well hey there Hayley.¨ I heard a voice from behind me,Johnny's voice.It was stern,but quiet and delicate at the same time.

I turned around.¨Uuhm hey.¨ I stuttered.

Now if I can please have ALL of your attention this class is ready to begin.¨ Mr.Anderson said looking at me.I turn around for a second and he decides to call me out? Pshh.

Exiting Algebra 5-6 I headed down the hall to the flight of stairs that led to my next class when--

¨So Hayley, Mr.Anderson said you would help me find my way to my next class, systomatics?¨ It was Johnny Lance.

¨He did? Well he didn't say anything to me about it but I guess I could. Im headed that way anyway.¨I didn't really want to be his navigator to his next class.He gave me feel uncomfortable around him.No, Hayley snap out of it!

¨So whats your story?Why did you come to Mendocino High School, to such a small town?¨

Making our way down the crowded hall, I could feel all the girls staring at him.They were probably wondering why he was walking with me.

¨My cousin is Andy Hennesee, I came from New York.I got in a bit of some trouble over there in the big city.¨ Hmm a bit of trouble.Should I ask?

¨What kind of trouble?¨ I couldn't help it.

¨Well let's just say I got into trouble.With...well drugs.¨ He sounded uncomfortable saying this. Atleast he was being honest. So I could categorize him as a drugie?

¨Oh, that's trouble for sure.Well here's your class.¨I said in a hurry.I forgot about the time.I had a minute to get to class.

¨Okay I'll catch you later or something Hayley!¨ He yelled down the hall as I rushed to class.

I layed on my bed staring at the ceiling. I was stressed. I had applied for CBU , Harvard and a couple of other good colleges. My main was Harvard. I really needed to get into that college. It's been my dream!I had worked so hard over the years that if I didn't get into Harvard, I would be crushed.

My phone ringing broke my train of thoughts and I jumped to get it.It was Aaron. Aaron was another one of my good friends. Casey, Aaron and I could be around eachother for hours and have fun and talk non-stop.

¨Im pulling up to your drive way in five, four, three--¨I ran down stairs stumbling over my feet reaching the door right on time.

¨Hello my fair Hayley bug.¨ It was an old childhood nickname, don't ask.

¨Hey!I made some sandwiches, wich are probably soggy sinse you were supposed to be here like ten minutes ago!¨ I said joking.

¨I know, I know but I had to stop and get gas and yeah...¨Hmm whenever Aaron ended a sentence in yeahh that meant she had something to tell.

¨Spill.¨ I said.

¨I stopped at Andrew's to talk things over with him.¨ She looked at me for a reaction.I had warned her from the beginnig to stay away from Andrew. When they began dating she became to attached. He cheated on her with Melony, typical hook-up at a party. And he dumped her the next day. Aaron was heartbroken.

Aaron was a beautiful girl.She had long hair like mine but thicker and brown. Her eyes were a grey/blue.
