The mall was a bit small for Shanae's taste but it was enough. People were bustling in and out of shops, and they were walking busily down the halls with their friends. People with every color and sizes, they were smiling and some were slightly irked by something and some were somewhat prying. She smiled at them as they smiled back.
Titles of shops passed through her, most of them were common to her and quite a few were not. She had enough money but yet nothing got her attention... Maybe she would go to the food court later and probably eat till she was full... but would never affect her in any way.

Lauren walked through the mall, one earphone firmly in her ear blasting the sound of the Sex Pistols from her iPod. A smoking cigarette dangled from between her fingers and occasionally she would lift it to her lips and take a drag. She noticed from the corner of her heavily blacked-up eye that people would pull faces and shake their heads as they passed. Not many people liked that she smoked, her parents included. They'd stopped giving her allowance when they found out, luckily for her she'd managed to get a job working in a local branch of Hot Topic on weekends and after school some days which provided her with the money she needed. As she walked her brain started turning, working over the idea that school was starting again soon and pondering whether any of the stuff she'd read over the holidays, the scientific journals as well as the music magazines, would come up in lessons. Then as she thought about music she started wondering when she could afford the shiny new mic she'd seen in the local music store, and how long it would be before he band got their first gig of the new year. You could practically see the numbers running through her head...
Of course this meant she was so wrapped up in her own thoughts that she walked headfirst stright into someone.

Shanae almost tripped forward to the floor before she caught herself. Her hair flew and covered her face so she had to flip it off and turned around to face another unfamiliar face. Though she might have been bumped into, she wasn't ruffled by it.
"Hello," she smiled friendly as if nothing happened

Lauren stepped back, a bit startled by bumping into someone and immediatley on the defensive. When the girl was so nice to her she arched an eyebrow at her, Lauren was more than used to people snapping at her, something which usually resulted in flying fists. She was still on the defensive, wary that this could be some kind of odd ploy to get her to lower her guard before she was mocked.
"Hey." She replied, her voice still carrying her english accent. "I'm Lauz, and you are?"

Shanae smiled, unaware of the girl's behavior. She pushed her hand through her hair as she stuck out her other hand to her. "I'm Shanae, nice to meet you Lauz, nice name by the way," she commented with another bright smile. Since it was truly one a name she hadn't heard before.
"Here to buy anything?" she asked

Lauren laughed.
"Thanks, my parents hate it. My name's really Lauren but it's a bit girly for me really." She tipped her head to one side and regarded the girl cooly. "I like your name too, it suits you."
Siding one hand into the back pocket of her tightly fitting jeans she retrieved her iPod and turned it off. Afterall, it was impolite to carry on a conversation with music blasting through one ear. She shook her head.
"I'm not really after anything. Just wanted to get out of the house for a while. You'd think the mall was the last place I'd head after I spend so much time here, but no..." She replied. "Did you come after anything in particular?"

Shanae grinned as a thanks.
It did suit her well, but it would've fit better on her twin. She shrugged her head as she looked at the mall with her sparkling eyes. "I was thinking about it but nothing caught my interest... only a food court would caught it, if they have it here," she said thoughtfully, but of course every mall, small or large in size, would have a food court. But yet she was doubtful. "My first mission is invade and attack," she smiled brightly but mischeviously.
"Do you know if they have a food court here?" she asked Lauz with her head thingyed to the side a bit

"Yeah we have a food court, it's nothing big or special but it's nice. And there's a pizzarria, which is amazing!" The young punk grinned, her eyes lighting up. If there was one thing she loved about the food court it was the pizzarria, fast food was just not her forte. "It's the second bast thing in the mall outside of the music store. Do you want to head up there now?"

Shanae lightly jumped from her place, as an impulse.
"I'm game for anything that includes food!" she said rather childishly, but then she looked at her surroundings once more. She had gotten a letter from Ally, well her parents got it, that she was going to a visit. And she wanted to her face scrunch up in disgust at the size of their malls here.
"If you say its amazing, it must be amazing" she added as she darted them back at Lauz

Lauren nodded, stubbing out her cigarette on a nearby stone pillar and chucking it in the bin.
"They're not too fond of me smoking in the food court." She explained. "I don't want to get kicked out again. Now, follow me."
She started walking, weaving her way between the residents of Tree Hill, some she gave smiles, others were on the recieving end of one of her many scowls. It was soon apparent that Lauz had as many enemies here as he did friends, if not more.
Eventually they arrived at the food court, the smell of fast food was heavy in the air and Lauz gave the MacDonalds in the corner a disgusted glare, heading straight towards the pizzarria.
"Welcome to the food court, busiest part of the entire mall!"

"But the yummiest part of the mall!" Shanae added as her eyes skimmed over the cramped food court. "If only people would avoid fast foods and then this would be less crowded and empty," she mummbled, but then she looked back at Lauz with a wide smile.
"Lead the way!" she opened her arms

"Oh good, someone else who doesn't like fast food!" Lauren grinned. "There are so many people around here who practically live off the crap, it's a wonder so many of them are as fit and sporty as they are."
She started to head into the pizzarria, smiling at the waitresses as she passed and went to her favourite table. A four-seater in the back. She grabbed a menu and passed it to Shanae, taking one for herself.
"The food here is awesome. I think I should get a frequent customer discount or something."

Shanae shook her head as she followed Lauz's lead, "I think you misunderstood, i love fast food," she grinned. "I just wished people liked it less so it would be easier to get through the crowd and there would be lesser lines," she looked at the menu and found nothing she knew but they sounded good. "I'll just what you have," she said sheepishly as she put down the menu,

Lauren wrinkled up her nose.
"Really? I don't know how you eat that stuff, it's all reclaimed meat and gak like that." She snorted, shaking her head. "Don't get me wrong, I like a pizza or a burger from time to time. But real food is so much nicer, made with real meat. How about we get a pizza to share? Margharita okay by you? I don't know what kind of stuff you like on pizza."

Shanae chuckled, "I kind of understand how you feel," she nodded her head as she waited for their order. "I like almost anything on my pizza, as long as there isn't any beacon in it, i hate it on pizza... it tastes blah!" she made a face as she talked to Lauz.
