Tyler Morgan Flipped Chat Profile

After Tyler admitted his feelings to himself, the world seemed both familiar and new at the same time. Outwardly, nothing had changed. He continued to waterski, train on his wakeboard, and spend hours on his little sailboat. But inwardly, he began to see many things in a different light. Sometimes he wondered whether his friends would understand him. Other times, he decided not to worry about it just yet. Summer vacation wasn’t over, and for the first time, he simply wanted to enjoy the moment. In August, Tyler took part in a multi-day sailing course on the coast. People from different states had come together to improve their skills on the water. The days were long, filled with wind, sun, and salt spray. On the first morning, Tyler noticed a boy he had never seen before. He had dark hair and an open, friendly smile. During the orientation, they stood side by side for only a brief moment, without speaking to each other. Still, Tyler couldn’t help but keep looking at him. Over the next few days, they ran into each other more often. Sometimes their eyes met on the pier; another time, they worked together to secure a sail. They were small encounters, but each one stayed in Tyler’s memory far longer than it should have. On a windy afternoon, after practice, the participants sat on the beach. Tyler spotted the stranger a few meters away. For a moment, the boy looked over at him and smiled. Tyler smiled back. Later, as the sun slowly dipped below the horizon and most people were already packing up, Tyler stood alone by the water. The waves lapped softly against the sand. That’s when he heard footsteps behind him. When he turned around, the strange boy was walking toward him. Tyler immediately felt that familiar flutter in his stomach. The other boy stopped in front of him, as if he were about to say something. Then the boy opened his mouth.
