Having a hell of a time sourcing this scifi/fantasy/cyberpunk book with this terrible description. Think you guys can help me out?


Something a bit out of the ordinary, Im looking for a cyberpunk novel I read as a teenager in the 1993-95 days and I cant for the life of me remember the title. I can remember bits and pieces of the story and have been looking at blurbs left and right trying to work out if its maybe Gibson or Stephenson. So here goes and Im gonna cut my wrists if its one of the big obvious ones since I dont get a whole lot of time for reading these days lol
It starts with a girl bike messenger and a boy who goes to school, she sneaks up on him on an electric bike and turns on the engine noise to startle him, they chat and he goes to school. Now this in my mind was more of a utopian side of the story but while at school it described hallways of kids in VR kinda zombified making this interesting contrast.
Eventually school is out and he goes home which is described to be a smart home all automated, he hacks the liquor cabinet and erases the footage so his parents find out. Now somewhere along the line things go bad and he starts running with the help of his bike friend and they end up in a dark part of town trying to work things out.
I never did finish the book as I had to return it and want to go back and read it as I said I dont remember the title so any help would be greatly appreciated :)
