Tyler Is Away

Chapter 1

2002
Senior year
High school

After a long day of school and other boring stuff, Evan wanted to talk to one of his best friends, Tyler. They were extremely close and though he kept it secret, Evan had a huge crush on him.
He sat down in his seat and waited for his computer to load up. He typed in the password and all of that stuff before logging in to MSN. His name on there was Vanoss and that's usually what his friends called him.

He signed in and waited for a bit for Tyler to come online. This was usually around the time he would.

WILDC4T43 has signed in.

Vanoss: Tyler! Hey
WILDC4T43: Oh hey, Evan
WILDC4T43: what's up?
Vanoss: nothing much, what are you up to?
WILDC4T43: nothin, just playing some video games =]
WILDC4T43: do you like GTA 2?
Vanoss: oh yeah! I love that game
WILDC4T43: same, man
WILDC4T43: oh, I forgot to ask
WILDC4T43: are you going to Mini's party tonight?
WILDC4T43: I mean Craig
Vanoss: it depends whether you're going :]
WILDC4T43: I haven't decided yet
WILDC4T43: it's crazy that we're already having end of school parties
Vanoss: yeah man, I can't wait for high school to be over
WILDC4T43: same here! I'm so over this school =p
WILDC4T43: like you know Brian from our math class? he won't stop messaging me right now
Vanoss: what's he saying?
WILDC4T43: ugh, nothing important.
WILDC4T43 is typing...
WILDC4T43 is deleting...
WILDC4T43 is typing...
WILDC4T43: just one more month to graduation! man, we're so old
Vanoss: lol, it's kinda weird. Did you pick a school yet?
WILDC4T43: eh, I didn't get accepted into my reach school so I'm just going to one of the others
WILDC4T43: that's fine tho, anythings better than fuckin high school
WILDC4T43: where are you gonna go?
Vanoss: I'm going to an art school
Vanoss: not sure what I want to major in but im sure ill figure it out :p
WILDC4T43: that's great man
WILDC4T43: I'm sure whatever major you pick youll be great
WILDC4T43: I mean you've always been really fuckin talented Evan =]
WILDC4T43: will we still talk all the time no matter what happens?
Vanoss: of course man! nothing could ever keep me from talking to you

Evan began typing into the chat, "you're my best friend" but quickly decided against it, changing the wording a little.

Vanoss: you're one of my best friends.
WILDC4T43: and youre one of mine too
WILDC4T43: you always will be evan =]
WILDC4T43: so ill see you at the party?
Vanoss: I don't think so tbh :/

Evan wanted to go to the party with Tyler, but at the same time he didn't really like parties. He could hang out with Tyler at school, he probably wouldn't mind if he skipped the party.

WILDC4T43: oh
WILDC4T43: well that's too bad, I guess I'll see you in school on Monday then?
WILDC4T43: I gotta go, Marcel's gonna be over soon
Vanoss: oh okay, see you later!
WILDC4T43: bye!

WILDC4T43 is away.

Lmao the research I had to do for this
I had to search release dates for GTA games and apparently the first three were out by 2001 so I went with that
