Not So Ordinary

Lifesaver

(Maya's P.O.V.)

     The next day I saw Hayden in the hallway talking to one of his friends. I ran to him and scared him from behind. He jumped up and almost hit me, but I caught his hand just in time.

     "Sorry, I thought you were someone else!" he said in a shameful voice. He looked down and rubbed his neck as he ran his other hand through his hair.

     "Don't think I forgot about yesterday! Watch your back!" I said in a whisper so his friend Daniel couldn't hear me.

     "I called truce, okay?! Don't you dare try anything!" he told me in a threatening way.

      I put my hands up in surrender and said, "Okay, okay! I promise I won't do anything." and with that I held my pinky out and he grabbed mine and we shook on it. I could tell he secretly licked his pinky cause when my skin met his it was all sticky and wet. I nodded my head, acknowledging Daniel. 

     " Hey, how's it going?" He asked me. 

      "Life could be better, but I shouldn't complain!" I said in an exhausted voice. Just then the bell rung and I muttered, "Damn it!" under my breath. Daniel, Hayden, and I all ran for out class that we, oddly, had together. We reached our class about 2 minutes late and almost knocked the door down. When someone opedned the door for us, the teacher gave us a glare that could burn a hole through your head. When you walk into class late, everyone loooks at you like you've just killed 5 people. I quickly walked to my seat, trying to avoid everyone's eyes, as I felt my checks burining. I pulled my textbook and flipped to the page everyone else was at, took my notebook out, and strted taking my notes. 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

     After what seemed like years, class finally ended and I ran out the door. Man, I really hate algebra 2. 

     "Maya, wait up!!" yelled Hayden. I turned to my locker and entered my combination, switching out my books for my next class. 

     As I slammed my looker door, I saw one familiar face I was hoping never to see again. 

    "Oh, shih tzu!" I mumbled. 

     Hayden immediatly looked over his shoulder and saw my ex-boyfriend, Jackson, walking towards us. 

     "Follow my lead." he said as he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. "Start laughing like I said something really funny." he whispered in my ear, his lips practiclly touching my ear. I started to giggle like he told me to, but inside I couldn't help but wonder what he was doing. 

       He casually switched places with me so that his back was against the lockers and I was in front of him, with his arms still wrapped around my waist.

      He chuckled and told me to pretend like we were in a deep conversation.  

     "Hey, I'm trying to help you, so just go along with everything", he said while lightly chuckling. 

     "Ok, so how was your day today, Mr. Fonte?" I asked while wiggiling my eyebrows. 

     "Pretty good, except for math, it really sucked... Ms. Piper" he responded with a smirk. 

     I laughed at his stupidity and looked back at Jackson. He stopped to talk to some girl with really long, blonde hair and over applied make- up. She honestly looked like a hoe but thats what Jackson's into, so I wasn't surprised that he was talking to her. I could see him occasionally flash a glance over to me and when he did, a hint of jealousy showed on his face, but it quickly went away when he looked away. 

     I smiled at Hayden when I turned back, but I could see the confusion in his face. I jerked my head toward Jackson and that slut-bag to show Hayden what I was talking about. When he looked over I saw him get angry for a second but then he turned back to me and smiled. He knew exactly what i was thinking. 

     Me and Hayden kept talking but then, out of the corner of my eye, I saw Jackson start walking away from that 'thing'. As he was walking away, he kept his eyes directly on me and Hayden and I couldnt help but smirk at my success in making him jealous. Hayden saw what I was looking at and chuckled at me. I slapped him in his chest, but I know it didnt hurt him. 

     That was the first time I had actully noticed how strong and built he was. Now, when I look at him, I realize he's a lot taller than me and his arms are super muscular. He has a really set jawline and when he smiles all his teeth are perfectly allined and straight. I could never tell, but now, when I'm actually paying attention, I notice how green his eyes are, and I also notice that hint of gray in them. How his hair is cut just right, not in a buzz cut, but not real long. I can see how when the light hits his hair just right his ends look blond instead of brown. 

     I snap back to reality when I see Hayden flash a nasty face to someone behind me and I think I almost hear him growl. His hands around my waist tighten and I realize who's walking behind me. 

     Jackson.

      I turn around just in time for him to make eye contact with him and a slow, evil smirk spread across my face. I laughed at him and turned back to Hayden. When I saw his face I almost died laughing. 

     When he saw my reaction towards Jackson, he couldn't help but laugh, but he didn't want to be rude, so he tried his best to hide it. But he held his breath and contorted his face, trying not to laugh, but that sight alone made me burst out laughing. 

     Beacuse of my reaction to him, he started bursting out laughing, causing us both to be  idiots in the hallway, laughing for no apparent reason. 

     A couple tears ran down my face while I was laughing. Hayden's laugh slowly died down to a chuckle and I let out a huge sigh before stopping. He saw my tears of joy, and wiped them away while chuckling. 

     "Thanks! I dont know how I would've gotten out of that huge mess if you weren't there." I sighed before pulling him into a bear hug. 

     "Air... air... I need air!" He gasped. I let him go and giggled. He was strong but, hey, don't underestimate me. "No problem... Ms. Piper" he said wiggling his eyesbrows in a mocking way. 

     "Oh, whatever" I smiled at him. "I gotta go or I'll be late! I'll see ya later on the bus." With that I walked away from him, hurrying to my next class. I waved to him as he called out 'bye'. He waved back and started walking the other way. 

     I ran down the hallway trying not to be late, again. All the way to my classroom, and all the way to my seat, I couldn't stop thinking about how sweet he was, getting me out of that situation that could've been a mess.
