By the time lunch had rolled around, Steven and Lola were long gone from what they would call the depths of hell. Or in other words, school. They couldn't take it being stuck in there.

"Slash doesn't know where we are, lol." Steven laughed to himself while looking at his phone. He had completely taken over Lola's bed, so she was sitting on a chair in front of her vanity.

"Did you really just say lol out loud?" Lola asked him with raised eyebrows.

"Yes." He replied, finally looking up. Lola grabbed her phone to see what Slash was bitching about.

𝐬𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐡𝐬𝐠𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫

"Ew." Lola spoke when Slash walked through her bedroom door. She was greeted by his middle finger.

"Thanks for ditching me guys." Slash said sarcastically.

"You're welcome." Steven replied, eyes glued to his phone. Slash took a seat on Lola's windowsill since there was nowhere else to sit.

"Fuck man, quit hogging the bed. Other people wanna sit down, you know." Slash complained.

"Uh-huh." Steven mumbled, still looking at his phone.

"Okay, who the fuck are you texting because they sure as hell are making you real happy, man." Slash complained again.

"Just Izzy." Steven smiled.

"Who the fuck is Izzy?" Lola asked.

"Is she hot?" Slash asked.

"First of all, she is a he. And second of all, Izzy is just a friend I made online." Steven shrugged.

"Let me see." Lola rushed.

"I wanna see too." Slash whined as the two dived onto Lola's bed.

"He doesn't have any photos on his account and his profile picture is just a black screen." Steven informed. Slash and Lola exchanged a weird look.

"Are you sure this guy is who he says he is?" Lola asked skeptically.

"Yes, hang on I'll find the picture he sent me of himself." Steven mumbled in concentration. He finally found the picture and flashed his phone screen to his two friends.

Izzy had shaggy, jet-black hair that was most likely dyed, brown eyes, and a nose piercing. He looked tall, and he had a Gibson slung around his neck.

"Cute." Lola mused.

"He plays guitar so I accept him." Slash decided.

"You should add him to our group chat." Lola suggested.

"Yep, you gotta let us meet him." Slash agreed.

"Okay, but I'll have to ask him first." Steven smiled.
