Tyson was seventeen years old and went to St. Joseph High School. He lived in Washington DC with his mother, father, and two brothers. He was the oldest of the bunch, his two siblings were twins and attended the same middle school. His mother worked as a social worker and his father was a police officer. Tyson wanted to be like his father and join the force, too. As soon as he was out of high school he was going to apply to the police academy.
Tyson was 5'11, an average height for someone his age. He had short black hair and green eyes like his mother. He wore a blue Star Wars T-shirt, blue jeans that were starting to fade around the edges, and a new pair of white running shoes he had bought a few days ago. Winter was slowly creeping its way around the corner, so the days were starting to get colder. It wasn't cold enough for the school to turn on the heating yet, but Tyson brought his black leather jacket with him to each class so he could slip it on if it ever got too chilly. It was his favourite jacket, too. It was the same biker jacket Arnold Schwarzenegger wore in the movie Terminator 2. He bought it on a family trip to Universal Studios in Orlando, and he wore it any chance he got. His girlfriend didn't care for it too much, but she never pestered him about wearing the jacket.
Tyson wanted to jump with joy when the bell rang, signalling the end of school. The teacher was droning on and on about science stuff that he couldn't care less about. He might have fallen asleep at his desk if the bell didn't go off when it did. He gathered his things and filed out of the room with the rest of the students before heading to his locker.
As he walked down the hall he spotted a group of kids huddling around their lockers. One of them spotted Tyson, then whispered something to the rest of his friends that made them all look, too. They started muttering in hushed tones as Tyson walked by, but he didn't need to hear anything to know what it was they were talking about. There was a rumour going around that Stephanie, his girlfriend, was screwing around with other guys behind his back. The rumour had started a month ago, and it made Tyson mad every time he heard about it. He knew there wasn't a single grain of truth to the rumour, he knew Stephanie would never cheat on him. But after a month of hearing it over and over again there was a niggling doubt in the back of his head that wouldn't let it go.
He decided he had put it off long enough. He needed to know the truth, and he needed to hear it from his girlfriend's mouth. His locker was next to the computer lab, and a quick peek inside the room told him the lab was empty. He didn't want to have this conversation in public. He grabbed his backpack and closed his locker before taking his phone out of his pocket. As he went into the lab he sent Stephanie a text message that said, "Meet me in the computer lab. I need to ask you something."
