[chase-moore]

[sighs]  Good mornin’ Haylie.

[haylierussel]

[Waves at him and speaks after she chews.] Morning. It's a beautiful day, isn't it? You seem kind of upset. What's wrong?

[rhyanne-murphy-blog]

[pats her back gently to get her attention then hold up her notebook] Can I try?

[haylierussel]

Of course, Rhyanne! [She slides her phone over.]

[crusxder]

[Moving into a more comfortable yoga position, her eyes fluttering open to notice someone walking towards her cabin, before closing shut again.] Leave any negatives vibes you have at the bottom step, please and thank you.

[haylierussel]

[Smiles.] No negative vibes here.

[cassidymarch-deactivated2015021]

[She giggles.] My friends and I used to pass notes a lot during seminary in high school. The teacher looked like Big Bird. [Cassidy squeezes her hand.] It’s not really a church service I’m going to though. I’m just visiting the temple, which is kind of a church-like place? It’s hard to describe but there’s lots to look at and the missionaries are from all over the world and super fun to talk to and— [She pauses.] Am I totally freaking you out with all this religion talk?

[haylierussel]

Big Bird? [She laughs.] No, you aren't. It's so fascinating. I like hearing about this kind of stuff. We didn't have classes like that in school. I mean, I didn't go to like a religious school or anything.

[lucasdeaton]

[ He nods his head with a smirk ] Good. Maybe he’ll actually reply to you. [ Lucas blinks and looks over at her ] Three… your high score.. is three. Are you serious?

[haylierussel]

[Bumps her shoulder against his.] Hey, now. Let's keep the rude remarks on the down low. There's no need for them. What's yours?

[lucasdeaton]

Uhh.. [ He purposely loses at 10 and goes to the twitter app. Finding the guy on there. ] Dongatory? [ He nods his head and goes back to Flappy Bird ] What’s your high score?

[haylierussel]

Uh...huh. [She types in his name.] Here he is. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind. [She looks up at Lucas.] It's...three.

[nate--harris]

[He laughs again.] It really is.

[haylierussel]

I need to find a new source of entertainment. This really sucks. What other games do you have? Ones that aren't too difficult like this one.

[gagegolightlys]

[cassidymarch-deactivated2015021]

[Cassidy smiles bashfully and glances at her shoes. She digs one of her toes into the grass and looks back up.] I’m going to church…kind of. You’re welcome to come with me, but I’m not sure how much you’d enjoy it.

[haylierussel]

Oh, yeah, let's do it! [She takes her hand.] I haven't been to church since Christmas. I'ts not that bad. Well, I'm lying, it's pretty bad. Most of the time I'd be playing Would You Rather or something like that really quietly with my brothers and sister while my mom sat farther ahead so the priest wouldn't know we were with her if we ever got in trouble. [She grins.]

[nate--harris]

[He watches her move around, clearly amused and laughs when she gets two.] Are you really gonna delete it? It took me three days to do that, I kept saying I would until I finally gave up and got rid of it. 

[haylierussel]

Three days? Maybe it'll take me like...a thousand. [She taps the screen and starts playing again. She yells in frustration when she gets one.] This is rigged! I swear to god.

[lucasdeaton]

[ He nods his head ] Yeah, divorces. Insane right? First people were breaking their phones, now relationships crumbling because of it.

[haylierussel]

Complete chaos. [She shakes her head.] I need to contact this guy. [She closes the app and opens up twitter.] What's his twitter name?

[nate--harris]

[He laughs.] Why don’t you try and beat your high score right now?

[haylierussel]

Hm... Yeah, alright. Okay. Alright, okay. [She cracks her knuckles and a moves around like she's warming up. Then she stands and does some jumping jacks.] Alright, I got this. I'm going to show the creator of Flappy Bird that it is possible to get a good score. I'm going to show him, alright. [She twists the top half of her body side to side you feel.] Nothing can bring me down. [She gets on the ground and into push up position but stands up as soon as she starts to move her body downwards.] Nevermind. [She sits back down and flips her hair around.] Let's do this. [She starts playing and gets to two which, in turn, causes her to stare at the screen incredulously.] Time to delete this app.

[nate--harris]

Around 50? It took me a little while. 

[haylierussel]

[Throws her hands up.] We can't be friends.

[nate--harris]

It’s a hard game. I ended up deleting it. 

[haylierussel]

What was your high score?

[lucasdeaton]

I know, it’s very rude. [ He takes out his own phone and sits down next to her. Opening Flappy Bird. Laughing Lucas nods his head ] A nice talking to will do some good. First he gives me all this rage with this game, and he doesn’t even apologize or reply back? This guy is an outrage. [ He smiles and shrugs as he starts to play the game ] Do you know some people have got divorces over this game? I call that insane.

[haylierussel]

[Laughs and then stops.] Wait, divorces? What?

[lucasdeaton]

[ Lucas sits at his table in the dining pavilion. He can’t help but keep glancing over at Haylie with her jumping all around and hitting the table. Finally after a little bit he gets up and walks over. Chuckling a bit as he nods his head. ] Agreed. About a week ago I tried tweeting the creator. He still hasn’t gotten back to me.

[haylierussel]

He hasn't? How rude of him. We need to track him down and give him a nice talking to. Who does he think he is creating something like this? And then he has the nerve to ignore you? No way, man.

[rainbow-finch]

[He’s covering his junk and trying to go back to his cabin as discreetly as possible.] I’m going to kill Shae. Slowly.

[haylierussel]

[Laughs.] What did she do?
