Now the re-write is discontinued :(

~ Imagine, imagine, meeting your online best friends. The people you spend more time with than anyone else in the world. The people you've been dying to meet for years. ~ Player (Miles) has been dreaming of that day ever since he met his online best friend, Veteran. Miles is a high school boy who dreams of being an astronaut someday. One day, his father gets a new job in a different city, and his whole life goes sideways. He has to go to a different school with different people. ~ Veteran (Aiden) dreams of having a real friend. All of his 'friends' use him for his money. He just wants a real friend, like his best online friend, Player. He wants someone that cares and understands him. ~ Captain (Georgie) has always been bullied. He dreams to be a pilot someday, but everyone makes fun of him about it-- even his parents. One day, he decides to run away but meets a very special person in his life... ~ MrCheese (Oliver) has always been made fun of because of his silly voice. He's been going through foster care his entire life, and one day decides he's had enough. One night, he sneaks out and runs away, not knowing what he's getting himself into... ~ (There are more characters in the story, but you'll just have to wait and see!) The book started out as just a Veteran x Player book-- but now it's also a high school AU! Join Player and his friends in some crazy high school drama! This book is filled with angst, a tad of depression, and a lot of gay. If you don't like any of these, simply don't read. Simple! ~ The cover image isn't mine, all rights reserved to the artist.
