Back In High School

A Beautiful Girl, A Preppy Asshole, And A Psychotic Principal

Axl, Slash, and Izzy were sitting in the principals office expecting the worst. Axl was still pissed off about the whole thing, those two douchebags should have minded their own business. Izzy was looking off into lala land hoping they weren't gonna get into too much trouble. Slash couldn't care less what happened, those assholes were messing with his friend.

The principal sat in front of them, he looked like he was a mean old man. He took one look at them and smiled widely.

Principal Baker: "You boys are in a whole lot of trouble... Mr. Rose, Mr. Hudson, and Mr. Isbell"
Izzy: "It's Stradlin, I prefer Stradlin"
Principal Baker: "Uh huh, well it seems you three started a fight on school grounds"
Axl: "Listen Mr. Baker, we didn't start this fight...it was instigated by those two fools over there"
Principal Baker: "Uh huh, so you three were the victims?"
Slash: "Yes sir, these guys had no reason to go after our friend Izzy"
Axl: "Exactly!, they're just lucky I didn't rip their throats out"
Principal Baker: "Ok fine, you all get detention tomorrow after school"
Axl: "What!?, that's not fair!..."
Principal Baker: "Go back to class boys"
Axl: "Bu..."
Izzy: "Come on Ax, let's go"

Axl, Izzy, and Slash walked out of the office and moved over to their lockers. Duff and Steven soon joined them, Axl opened his locker with anger and disgust.

Duff: "What happened?"
Slash: "Two goons jumped Izzy, so Axl and I beat the shit out of them..."
Axl: "AND WE'RE THE ONES WHO GOT IN TROUBLE!"
Steven: "Well, you were kicking the guys head in"
Axl: "Shut up!...I wasn't kicking it in, I was stomping it in"
Steven: "Well then"
Izzy: "It doesn't matter anymore, we got detention tomorrow, we could have gotten expelled if I hadn't stopped Axl from killing the principal"
Axl: "Oh please, I wouldn't have actually killed him"
Duff: "Well awe, aren't you sweet"
Slash: "Let's just drop it, I have to go to fucking gym"
Axl: "I have gym next too"
Steven: "I think we all do"
Izzy: "I wish I was dead"
Axl: "Come on!, we have no time to self loathe"

The gymnasium was freaking huge, the ceiling was probably a hundred feet tall. They made their way passed all of the sweaty muscle men, and into the locker rooms.
When they got out people were already running laps around the gym, so they just jumped in without the teacher seeing that they were late.

Axl: "Phew!, that was close...we'd be in extra trouble"
Izzy: "This is what I really hate, running around the gym"
Axl: "It gets your heart pumpin', besides it's better than sitting in a..."

Just then Axl saw the most prettiest girl he's ever seen before, for a minute or two he paused and just stared at her. She had long blonde hair, blue eyes, a beautiful porcelain face, He stared until Izzy tapped him on the shoulder.

Izzy: "Hey, Ax you ok?"
Axl: "Yeah, I'm fine"
Izzy: "What are you starring at?"
Axl: "Uh...nothing!"
Izzy: "Oh I see, you're starring at that girl over there"
Axl: "No I am not!, I was starring at the water fountain...I'm thirsty!"
Izzy: "Yeah, sure whatever Axl"

After gym class was over...Axl, Slash, Duff, Izzy, and Steven went to lunch. Axl saw that girl again sitting with another group of girls, he had to talk to her. But he couldn't talk to her with her friends around or his friends, this was going to be tough. They decided to sit in the way back so that nobody would bother them, Axl notices that the girl that he liked was looking at him, he blushed a little and went back to eating. She started to walk over to them, Axl was nervously looking the other way.

Girl: "Hi!, are you guys new here?" (Sitting next to Axl)
Slash: "Actually yes we are, what's your name sweet thing?"
Girl: "Haha, my name's Kayla...what's your guys' names?"
Slash: "I'm Slash, this guy to my far right is Steven, the guy to my left is Duff, and the guy to your right is Izzy, and the guy whose looking in the other direction is Axl"
Kayla: "Wow, are you guys all friends?"
Steven: "Yes we are!, friends for life!"
Kayla: "Awe!, well you know you don't have to sit in the corner way over here...do you guys want to sit with us?"
Duff: "Yeah sure, we'd love to"
Kayla: "Great!, come on I'll introduce you guys"

They walked nervously towards the table, they looked around and saw that all of these handsome preppy looking guys giving them the evil eye.

Kayla: "Girls!, I made some new friends!, this is Slash, Steven, Izzy, Duff, and Axl...and these are my friends Samantha, Abbie, Maya, and Lorena."
Lorena: "Hey, Duff you can sit next to me!"
Duff: "Ok darlin'"
Maya: "Slash is an interesting name, you want to sit next to me?"
Slash: "Heck yeah I do"
Abbie: "Here Izzy, you can sit next to me...don't worry I won't bite"
Izzy: "Ok, thanks"
Samantha: "Steven I love your hair!!!, you should come sit next to me!"
Steven: "Of course!"

Axl didn't know what to do in this situation, he's never really had a girlfriend before. Only once before he did, but she didn't really love him at all. So it was basically a one sided relationship, he really did like this girl, she was beautiful. Axl was in a trance, until Kayla started to talk to him.

Kayla: "Axl, you ok?"
Axl: "Uh...yeah I'm fine"
Kayla: "You want to sit next to me and talk for a little bit?"
Axl: "Yeah, sure"
Kayla: "So, Axl are you from here?"
Axl: "No, I'm originally from Indiana, I moved here a little while ago...I didn't finish high school yet, so that's why I'm here"
Kayla: "Oh, I see...you know you look like a musician, not because you have long hair...but I can tell by your voice"
Axl: "Thanks, actually we are a band"
Kayla: "Oh, really!?...what's your band called?"
Axl: "Guns N' Roses, we're just a bunch of punks who happens to be good at what we do"
Kayla: "Well, I would love to hear your band play"
Axl: "Really!?, well right now we're playing at this bar downtown tonight...I could pick you up, if that's ok with you"
Kayla: "Yeah!, that sounds great!...what class do you have next?"
Axl: "Advanced English, my friend Izzy and I have the same class"
Kayla: "Well what a coincidence, I'm in that class too, you want to walk me there?"
Axl: "Uh, yeah!...I need to go to my locker first, do you mind waiting for me?"
Kayla: "I don't mind at all!, let's go right now...girls I'll be right back"
Abbie: "Ok, where are you going?"
Kayla: "I'm going with Axl to his locker"
Axl: "Iz, I'll meet ya in class"
Izzy: "Ok Ax, have fun"
Axl: "Shut up"

As Axl and Kayla walked passed the popular kids' table, they gave Axl a dirty look, Axl gave one right back at them and flipped them off. Typical Axl Rose behavior, they didn't notice that one of the boys were following close behind them.

Axl opened up his locker as Kayla leaned on the locker next to his, that preppy boy came up behind Kayla and grabbed her.

Kayla: "Shane!, what is wrong with you!?"
Shane: "What are you doing hanging out with this Led Zeppelin reject!?"
Axl: "Back off!, leave her alone"
Shane: "What did you say!?"
Axl: "You heard me!, back the fuck up!"
Shane: "Do you want to fight me Rose!?"
Axl: "No, but I will if I have to"
Kayla: "Shane just go!, we are not together anymore!...I can hang out with whomever I like!"
Shane: "Fine, I'll be seeing you both around...this isn't over Rose"

Axl gave him a death glare, that guy had some serious problems. Axl wasn't about giving up, he didn't like this guy at all.

Axl: "You ok?"
Kayla: "Yeah, just an ex boyfriend, he's an asshole"
Axl: "He really is"
Kayla: "Come on, let's go"

Axl wanted to be her boyfriend so much, even though he only knew her for a day. She was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen, the way she moved, the way she talked, the way she thought, it all made Axl swoon. Hopefully she felt the same way about him, only time would tell if he would get the courage to ask her out.
