thomas 'tommy' simons always felt like he stood out like a sore thumb from his school, his neighbourhood, even his own household felt far away from him, like he was staring at the world through a foggy glass window.

"i'm going to find them," tommy changed the search tools to show the most recent article and saw that the most recent update was august, just a few months ago. "they are still looking for me, that must mean something," he said while reading the new post. "they are in camborne."
"you mean, we are going to find them," tubbo said, "i'm going with you," his voice held a tone that dared tommy to argue.
"i appreciate it, but i can't let you do this, you've done enough already," tommy wanted tubbo to come, but his friend couldn't risk it at his expense, "what about your family. and it definitely won't be free to find them." he had two valid points.
"i live at a home, they won't notice i'm gone, so it's okay," tommy frowned at that. tubbo didn't hide the fact that he was orphaned, but he said that he won't be missed so freely, like he accepted it. "and i might know someone who could help us with the money," he had a mischievous glint in his brown eyes.
tommy had no other reasons, so he nodded, "fine whatever," he crossed his arms as if he was displeased with the situation, but the other didn't miss the small 'thank you' that was muttered after.
THURSDAY, 07:45
the next day, both boys arrived at school an hour early to talk about the plan; they couldn't risk it over text. they sat down on the grass, which was slightly wet from the night's light mist. they also decided on not writing it down just in case the notepad is found, so they only had their memory.
"we leave tomorrow," tommy said, they already decided the date yesterday, so it was just to remind them both. "after school." they both took out their phones and created a note. "we need to decide what to bring"
"we both need like, three pairs of clothes or something, any hygiene stuff," it was hard thinking what was too much and what was too little, they couldn't just google search 'what to bring when running away from your kidnapped that you thought were your parents for your whole life with your best friend'.
"how about some food, i can buy some on my way here?" tubbo said and tommy agreed, "i'll buy cheap food that will fill us up, like bread or something," he wasn't too sure.
"i have two power banks, i will take them both," tommy said, glad that he asked for them for his birthday. "that's all i can think of," they moved on from the lists since there was no more work to be done there.
"you mentioned someone you know that can help, are you sure they won't rat us out?" tommy asked, he pinched his lip lightly. "and will they come with us without asking too much questions?" he didn't mind if this person didn't go.
"we will not utter a thing to the law," tubbo was confident on that, "and i don't think he will ask any questions, being honest," tubbo never talked this surely of anything, so tommy trusted it. "we will meet us after school, i gave him the address, and just told him we need to run away to camborne."
