chasing the sun

> TYSON SAYBROOK/ 17 . Oakvale senior, escape artist extraordinaire, sunflowers are a pain in the ass. "They just can't get my nose right."

There's a snake on my desk.

Look, Oakvale, we’ve got a major problem if I’m already saying “Bah humbug” — it’s such a shame when my sexy voice is used for angry sighs and non-sexual grunting.

Since my stupid mother is part of the early madness with Thanksgiving passing, we’ve already got a bunch of fucking eggnog in this house. All I’m saying is that my glass tonight is most certainly spiked. For fuck’s sake.

[smolderbrook]

I've heard of a lack of Christmas spirit but, fuck, Moreno you're really kicking it up a notch. It's not even December. Why don't you just spend some time with some slutty elves or something? I mean, finding slutty versions of things is your specialty after all, I'm sure you'll find your Christmas spirit soon.

Welp.

[bronah-schmidt-blog]

Decent when I wanna be?

[smolderbrook]

You know, when it benefits you or Maddox, other than that you're not really much of a giver. But don't worry man, I'm not much of a giver either.

[hattie-parker-deactivated201405]

Welp.

[bronah-schmidt-blog]

Bro… What the hell?

Guys like Moreno are “kind of an ass”. I think I’m a pretty decent guy.

[smolderbrook]

You asked, I answered.

The aren't any "guys like Moreno", there's only Moreno. You're decent when you wanna' be, Schmidt. I don't think that counts.

[hattie-parker-deactivated201405]

Welp.

[bronah-schmidt-blog]

Why would you be ashamed?

[smolderbrook]

Because you're kind of an ass.

[smolderbrook]

Send me back to military school.

[bri--nels]

I never thought I’d hear you say that.

If you need to talk or anything, let me know.

[smolderbrook]

Neither did I. I guess things are changing.

Thanks, Bri, it's nice to know someone around here is willing to be a bit selfless.

[smolderbrook]

Send me back to military school.

[hattie-parker-deactivated201405]

My dad may be British,

[hattie-parker-deactivated201405]

Modern American Families. Gotta love ‘em.

[smolderbrook]

Especially their food, right? The home-made stuff, I mean, none of that fast-food junk.

[hattie-parker-deactivated201405]

My dad may be British,

But our kitchen is already full of food for Thanksgiving like it is every year. 

So much stuffing. 

[smolderbrook]

Amen... But my Dad's American, so, not that part.

[smolderbrook]

Me and my brother can't stop laughing at the gossip blog.

[oakvalegossip-blog]

I can’t stop laughing at you either, Tyson.

[smolderbrook]

Aw, c'mon. No need to get like that.

[smolderbrook]

Me and my brother can't stop laughing at the gossip blog.

[smolderbrook]

No - I’m not going to lie to you - nothing’s okay. You should probably spend some time at a friends or something, just a day or two, until my parents clear their heads and I find my brother. I’m sorry, Tress, to be dumping you in this position; I promise you’ll be back before...

[smolderbrook]

Don't be sorry. We're just trying to get through it. We've told the police, and they're going to send out a search party later today and I just -... If you could help, that'd be great. Thanks, Tress.

[tress-fromthetower]

…uh oh.

that can’t be good. 

[smolderbrook]

Tress, Mom wants to look in the guest house. 

[tress-fromthetower]

wait, what? what’s going on? i mean, yeah, she definitely can, there’s not a problem with that, but what’s happening? is everything okay? 

[smolderbrook]

No - I'm not going to lie to you - nothing's okay. You should probably spend some time at a friends or something, just a day or two, until my parents clear their heads and I find my brother. I'm sorry, Tress, to be dumping you in this position; I promise you'll be back before you know it, but right now... I need to focus on finding Sam. He ran away.

[smolderbrook]

Come home.

[bri--nels]

Okay, okay. Yeah, I’ve met him before. I haven’t seen him, but I’ll be keeping an eye out for him.

[smolderbrook]

Right, yeah - thanks, Bri.

[tress-fromthetower]

…uh oh.

that can’t be good. 

[smolderbrook]

Tress, Mom wants to look in the guest house.
