Music played overhead as people crowded the all ready overcrowded, and overrated mall. Yes, this was one place she loathed, surprisingly.. A mall, a mall squirming with people.. People made Loren uncomfortable. The girl had work today which was the only reason she had come to this godforsaken place, yes.. She worked at Journey's, a lovely shoe store that catered mostly to alternative things. They weren't just shoes either. They had tees, hoodies, totebags, and accessories. An amazing store that actually played decent music. The girl loved it so, and she actually enjoyed the company of her coworkers. They were all pretty nice, most of them were potheads though, that was the only thing that agitated her. People passed by her with haste, faces blurring together to make this constant stream of color.

The girl made no attempt to try and focus on a face, because all tries would be futile. So the girl just stopped at the coffee shoppe and ordered a hot chocolate. Yeahhh she hated coffee, so, why not settle for something with chocolate-ie goodness? Exactly. Dooo ittt. Heading down the corridor littered with shops, some large, some hole in the walls-- And there was Journey's. The girl could tell by the large sign, and the glass walls, on the other side were shoes. Everything from Converse, to Emus, to DC's, Vans and Osiris. Yeah, not to mention they had some pretty nice pumps-- Not like Loren would honestly wear them. This was Loren, not Lexie. As she headed in 3OH!3 blared on the surround speakers, what song? Chokechain. A smirk played her lips as she headed to the back and checked in. Everything had been restocked last night so now.. It was just a matter of helping people when they needed it. A girl with about four facial piercings walked up to her, without a doubt her manager. If you asked Loren what Mercedes was talking about, she'd shrug but as of right now she was nodding to whatever her superior said.

Manicured nails pulled the gray hood of her Roxy hoodie enough so it covered the back of her head. Her hair, and pretty face were visible.. It wasn't covered to far that it hid that. Mainly because, her glasses would probably never allow it. It was Friday evening.. Too early to go to shows, and late enough that school kids were out. A lot of them had homework, but, any smart person would've gotten that done in study.. Or maybe Loren was just a nerd. In either case, even more people started to fill the mall. Closing her eyes, she exhaled and tapped her nails against the glass showcase. People always frightened her, her friends didn't understand it.. Especially Lexie, but it was hard for her to really explain it in depth.

As people seemed to walk by, the day seemed like it would nto end.
Ah another day in Loren Tremens' life.

[/font]garrett pushed the button to lock his car as he made his way in the parking lot, towards the direction of the mall... the heated mall. garrett pulled his hoodie tighter, he really needed to invest in a winter coat, or something slightly thicker, but all the extra money garrett got either went to his guitar or booze, and frankly, he wasn't ready to give up either for simple warmth. although most would say it would be a good investment.

the mall seemed to be the perfect place to kill some time before the real friday started, and that usually didn't happen until at least 9 or 10 o'clock. garrett pulled open the doors and as he stepped inside the familiar flood of voices as well as the heat hit him. most people were here with their friends and such, but garrett didn't mind coming alone. in fact, it was a great way to meet new people, or just run into the ones he already knew. garrett had probably came to the mall to actually shop about three times in his entire life. those times would be, his mother's birthday, his sister's graduation gift, and a vase for zephyr's mom, because garrrett broke hers while playing field hockey... indoors. needless to say, she had a fit with him.

garrett shoved his hands into his jacket pockets and walked nonchalantly through the mall. he walked by hot topic and glanced through the windows, making note of the few CD's he needed to pick up later, and maybe a new t-shirt or something. he continued to walk, while people darted back and forth in his way of travel. he shook his head at the tiny little seventh grade girls and the scrawny little boys, and reflected back to when he was a good-for-nothing, live-at-the-mall-for-most-of-his-weekend-trying-to-pick-up-random-girls kind of person. actually some people would still call him a good-for-nothing, but garrett liked to think he was at least good at something or another. he glanced all around him checking if there were any familiar faces, but so far... nothing. he walked by journey's briefly glanced at the merchandise in there. just after five steps past the store, garrett turned back and headed inside, he thought he saw someone familiar. he looked around until he laid eyes on the pretty brunette that seemed to avoid him like he was an alien or something. well now that there was really no where for her to go, considering she worked here. garrett decided to drop in and say hi to her. "loren!" garrett smiled and held up a hand, in a waveish kind of manner. he then made his way through the store to where she stood.[/center]
