Lexi sighed. It was taking sooooooo long to get to this store! She liked going to the mall and getting new toys and clothes and stuff, but it took forever to get anywhere! Her mother and father were still talking and Tina was fussing—again! Lexi thought with scorn— so they’d stopped walking to try and figure out what was bothering her this time. Bored, Lexi decided to snap some more photos of people walking by on their way to various stores.

Conner glanced at the list in his hand for what felt like the fifteenth time in the past few minutes. He didn’t usually visit the mall, but Vanessa has been very clear that she was not going to be happy if he didn’t pick up the package at the store for her. He supposed it wasn’t her fault that her bosses had re-scheduled their important meeting for this morning, but she really have to make him drive halfway across town just to pick this up? As he glanced around, still trying to locate the store, he briefly noticed the couple with their children sitting on the bench. Ordinarily it wouldn’t have been noteworthy, but one of the kids— a little girl— had an old Polaroid style camera and was pointing out around. That’s weird, Connor thought. In today’s day and age with smartphones and such you didn’t really see such a thing anymore—-FLASH
Chloe blinked repeatedly, trying to clear her vision. Like, what just happened? She remembered walking into the mall, but everything in her head just seemed... fuzzy. Then again, she thought, giggling out loud as she did, everything always seemed fuzzy in her head. The boys certainly didn’t seem to mind thought, the busty blonde cheerleader thought and giggled again as she strutted off to find a date for tonight.

Andrew didn’t know what he was going to do. Bad enough that he’d just moved to this city and didn’t really know anyone here, but this was the ninth place which had turned down his job application. He was starting to run low on money and he wasn’t quite sure how much longer he was going to be able to make rent. As he walked down the hallway in the mall he decided to head to the food court and get a bite to eat before he headed back out on the job hunt.

Andy laughed to himself as he headed towards the food court. The party he was planning was going to be epic! As the eldest son of the Sanchez dynasty, oil barons who’d made their fortune in Mexico back in the 1920s and emigrated to the US years later, he’d never had to worry about money in his life. Living in one of the city’s few legitimate mansions was definitely a bonus to your social life, and Andy threw LOTS of parties. Now, to meet up with his friends and spread the word......

Kelli was already regretting agreeing to go with her boyfriend Luke and his friend....she couldn’t even remember the guy’s name in all honestly? Lance? Yeah, that sounded right.....to the mall. She and Luke had been fighting a lot recently, and when he’d told her he was bringing her to the mall she’d been expecting a romantic gift or something. Meeting his friend just inside the mall’s entrance was the first sign Luke was just as clueless as ever. Kelli started to wonder if she should just end it with him. After all, it didn’t seem like he was ever going to change.....

Kevin smiled at the two girls standing in front of him. “Hey girls, how’s it going?” He asked. God, these chicks were smoking hot. He subtlety flexed his biceps as he smiled at them. The two girls looked like they could be models—they looked like twins, and were tall and blonde with green eyes.
“I’m Lucy.” One of the girls said with a smile. “I’m Lily” the other said, matching her friend’s expression. “We’re twins..... and we think you’re hot.” They finished together with a giggle. Kevin couldn’t believe his luck. “In that case.....why don’t we head back to my place?” He suggested, and soon found himself sauntering back out of the mall to his car with the girls eagerly draping themselves over him on either side.

Finally, Lexi thought. Her parents had figured out how to get Tina to stop fussing and they were on their way to the store!
As they walked.....
