i nodded my head desperately at axls question and he laughed softly as we walked out of the metal doors, his arm still slung around my shoulder as he held me tight while walking out to a 1983 black dodge power ram truck. the truck had large lights just above the bed with a rack holding them up.

"no fuckin way." i laughed softly as we approached the beautiful truck. as we got closer i soon realized there were more people there, specifically three boys. i laughed and shook my head softly as i jumped up onto the bed of the truck and sat on the bed floor of it. axl sat next to me he way on the floor of the bed, a blonde boy sat across from the middle of me and axl and who i assumed was slash sat directly across from axl. there was a black haired guy who sat against the rack on the truck who looked like he'd been dancing with hard drugs.

i got a good look at him and saw his stringy, straight black hair, it was honestly quite thin and had no volume at all which was polar opposite from the other boys he was hanging around. he had very pale skin and dark eyes, he was quite plain looking and not attractive at all to me.

my gaze shifted from the boy next to me to the boy who was basically across from me. he had wavy blonde hair, it was nearly white due to the sun illuminating it behind him. he was like duff in the was that he had very dark eyebrows and light hair that i loved. but this boy was different, he was much shorter than duff and he would flash a huge smile at the conversations the boys were having. he had a pair of drum sticks in his hands and he was softly beating on the bed of the truck making a beat to fill the air.

my attention adverted over to slash as i admired the mass of hair he had. it was absolutely wild and nearly uncontainable but he somehow managed to keep it looking so good.

my thoughts were broken by an elbow being jabbed into my side, i shot my head up from studying the different boys surrounding me and i hadn't realized i tuned out all the conversations floating around me. i looked over at axl and smiled.

"what's up?" i questioned him regarding the elbow in my side.

"i'm trying to introduce you to the guys." he responded to me in a sort of duh tone as he wrapped his arm around my body once more, "rhi this is slash, steven, izzy and-" he stopped abruptly and looked around. "where the fuck is duff?" he questioned and a familiar body stepped out from the truck and hopped onto the bed with us, his hands full of rolled substances. he sat across from me on the truck bed floor and he cocked his head to the side before looking down at steven.

"i know your drummin ass ain't gonna put a dent in my baby." he spoke as he handed steven one of the short joints he had in his hands. all steven did was smile at duff before all was soon forgotten.

"hey rhi, how you doing." duff smirked at me as he distributed the two other joints to slash and izzy.

"pretty fucking fantastic, and yourself?" i smirked at him and he just shook his head as he gave steven the white lighter from his pocket.

"wait how the fuck do y'all know each other?" axl questioned us as he looked at me weirdly, his arm still tucked tightly around my body.

"i guess we have first period together, huh duff?" i nodded and looked over at him, his jaw was tensed up and he nodded his head slowly.

"yeah, we just have a class together." he took the joint from steven and took in a deep inhale, holding it in his lungs for a few seconds before blowing the smoke out in my face.

at this point slash has hogged the joint for so many hits that he was now laying on the truck bed, his head resting on axls lap as the joint was caught between axls lips. i looked up at it and removed it from his plump lips before inserting it between mine. i could feel duffs eyes on me the entire time, i sighed before taking in a deep inhale of the happy substance.

i leaned my head on axls shoulder as drowsiness washed over my body. i took three more hits before passing the joint back to axl. steven reached forward and bumped izzy's arm signaling for izzy to give up the pot and pass it along.

"fuck you steven, use duffs." he spoke out and pushed stevens hand away.

"oh come on, just give it up junkie." steven laughed before stealing it from between izzy's fingers. izzy scoffed and shook his head before standing up and jumping off the truck bed.

"fuck this, i'm gone." izzy breathed and shook his head. "i'll see you boys at practice. rhi, nice seeing your face." he walked away and disappeared into the crowd of cars.

"come on steven, you know how he gets about that shit." axl spoke and steven just smiled and smoked the joint that he had stolen from another mans grasp.

i could hear slash giggling softly on axls lap and i turned to look at him, "what if someday we got going somewhere with this music shit and we were headlining at the apollo or something." he began, "and chicks throw themselves at us and we're household names. can you imagine that? holy shit." i had realized that he had managed to get a joint from someone and was smoking it, he was also very high and we all just laughed at his shock and amazement of the whole idea.

"it'll happen one of these days slash, we just gotta have some patience." axl spoke as his ran his hand through slash's jungle of hair.

"yeah, one of these days i'm going to invent a new pizza flavor." slash nodded and began naming different combinations, we could all tell he already lost track of what meaningful think he had spoken of and now all he wanted was food. "shit i'm hungry." he laughed as the joint was taken from his hand and given the axl.

stevens had died so he discarded it out the side, duff was speaking with steven about something and i was tired of waiting forever to ask for it so i took it from his grasp and he cocked an eyebrow at me. i smirked at him and winked before taking it between my lips and taking a deep inhale, i held it in my lungs for a moment and duff motioned me toward him. i leaned forward and blew my smoke into his face and he laughed softly. he took the substance from my fingers and placed it between his own lips and inhaled before placing one of his hands on the back of my neck, his lips meeting mine as he blew the smoke into my mouth.

i heard a burst of laughter come from slash's high ass as he sat up from axls lap and nearly fall off the back of the truck, "oh god they gonna fuck for us!" he called out, "holy shit, you have no idea how many times he's tried doing that with us." slash busted out and i couldn't help but let out a loud laugh and lean back to where i was sitting.

duff looked over at slash and we all watched as he leaned back too far and fell off the truck bed, i went silent for a moment till we heard him let out a giggle and stand up.

"holy shit i'm okay." he laughed and jumped back onto the truck bed.

"so duff, have you tried to kiss all your friends or just slash?" i smirked at him and he playfully scowled at me.

steven let out a burst of air before laughing and leaning his head on duffs shoulder, "yeah steven, why ain't you kissed me yet?" he laughed.

"i'm only successful when i want to be." he winked at me and i bit my lip softly at him.

"come on, rhi, let's get to class." axl spoke out as his arm wrapped around me and helped me stand up.

"oh come on man, don't kill the parking lot party." duff scoffed and leaned on steven.

"slash get up, we're going to class." axl ignored duffs remark and we hopped off the truck bed.

"is it cooking class cause i'm totally bakeddddddd." slash yelled out and i couldn't help but laugh. we walked away from the truck without saying another word. axls grip on me was tighter than ever before.
