 It was summer time and he was relieved that school was out for the time being. He lightly ran a hand through his hair and shook it out as he pushed open the door to the mall, he took a breath in relief filling him, it was really hot outside and the air conditioning of the mall provided him some cool air and standing in one spot would not help his cause. He stretched and started to walk through, passing by stores that never interested him and stopping in stores that he found intriguing and found something he liked.
His brown eyes looked around at the people walking through, it seemed like everyone had the same idea as he did of retreating to the mall for some air conditioned space. He placed his hands behind his head fingers interlocked as he strolled through nodding politely to the people he passed. True, it was gorgeous outside but hot. The more he thought about it the more he realized why people would go outside, but he wasn't really feeling up for taking in some fresh air, perhaps another day he would soak in the sun, but today was a mall day for him, he figured he would need some new clothes for when school started up again in the fall.

Alexandre wasn't one of those seeking an air conditioned space, he had that at home. What he did seek was something else to add to the care package for Lily, which was becoming larger and larger as he thought of new things to add. Right now his mind was leading him to a favorite store of his, the candle shop.
Already a bag hung from one arm, a rather simple bag, but it was from the store which sold silver items - mostly for weddings and such. He'd bought her picture frames so she could put pictures from her time in England, once he got her back here to Destiny City of course. He had every intention of ruining her parents plans of her living there by helping her turn it into an extended vacation, they were plotting by phone for her to escape and get a plane ride home and for him to pick her up. He wasn't letting her stay away longer than needed, she wanted to return as well of course.
Blond hair which had progressively gotten longer, not that it was ever a normal manly short length, was tied back as usual and fell down over the collar of the polo shirt he wore while the thumb on his left hand was hooked into the belt loop of the dark wash jeans he wore. He was for all intense purposes some young teenager with money, judging by the logo on the right breast of the polo shirt and the sneakers he wore, who was spending his afternoon shopping. Passing under one of the large sky lights he smiled as the sun warmed him nicely, he wouldn't mind staying in this spot and enjoying it. As much as he hated the heat and summer this wasn't as bad as it was outside, that he hated.

Trevor liked summer as much as every other person, but today in particular he wanted to shop for a new wardrobe for school. But it seemed a little harder then usual, mainly because he brought his sister along, but his sister was enjoying a day at the beach and it was just him today. He looked around the mall keeping a mental note of stores he liked. He would go through his mental list again,but not before he got something to eat.
He walked through the mall, towards the food court. He continued to nod politely to people he walked past on his trek towards the food court. But he stopped as he was slightly distracted by a outfit that he would look good in, he tapped his chin and walked into the store looking around. The sales person greeted him snd asked if he needed help with something. He paused and shook his head,what was he trying to portray about himself if he wore this outfit to school.
He needed a second opinion but his sister was indisposed for the day, he sighed a bit and shook his head and thought to himself i'll come back after I grab something to eat he smiled at the sales person as a silent thank you and continued on his trek to the food court. He figured it would be a lot more fun and easier if he had company,but he didn't have that luxury as of yet, he had a small amount of friends at the current time. He shook his head at himself.

Shopping was normally done with someone, at least in the past it had been, it was something which should be done with a companion unless you were buying something for them in secret. That was his opinion to be honest but he was without a friend to join him. Most people listed on his cell phone under contacts were acquaintances, he really should just remove them, and Johnathan he could have invited but he didn't want to invite the overly hyper teenager with him. It wasn't that he disliked his pale blue haired friend, quite the opposite really, but he simply didn't want to deal with the energy level right now not with why he was shopping. He really should not be putting together a care package for Lily.
It was because of this that one of his favorite stores, the candle store, was turned into an in and out deal without him lingering as he normally would do. Normally he'd need to be pulled, or lead, out of the store after attempting to somehow purchase half of the store, literally or figuratively had not yet been determined. Today though he was in and out with several votives and a few jar candles weighing down his arm, along with the boxed picture frames, as he headed for the food court intent on getting away from the depressing actions of the day and busy himself, both mentally and physically, with food.
He just hoped the food was tolerable and healthy. He really didn't do mall food court food.
Standing at the mouth of the food court slate eyes swept over the assembled, and seated, people who chatted rather loudly and than the various food options. God...some looked and even sounded unhealthy and unappetizing.

After what seemd liked a few mintues of trekking through the mall, he reached the food court, his eyes scanning what choices there were, he wanted something healthy yet appetizing but the majority were fast food, he shook his head. This mall needed more healthier choices " well i guess i'll have to make due" he said to no one in particular. As he walked along the food kiosk, he took time to look at the menus.None seemed to catch his eye so he decided to go for wrap. At least that would be somewhat healthy.
He walked up to the food kiosk to wait in line, he pivoted to search for a table as he waited his brown eyes surveying the crowd. Most of which came to the mall with a buddy or a group of friends. It seemed the majority of the tables were occupied, except for a handful who were stationed by the window. He turned and continued to wait in line.
After what seemed like hours of waiting for his turn, he stepped up to the counter and told the cashier "i'll have a chicken cesar wrap please" he said giving the cashier a light smile. He reached into his pocket and pulled out his wallet to pay the cashier.

Alexandre had done a similar thing, checking menus and looking over the choices of food laid out for all to see. Most of it he wasn't sure what it was or it was unhealthy looking. Rolling his eyes he now knew why people said the American waistline was expanding. Finally he found one food option where he could order a salad and do the dressing himself, rather than risk some other places that drown food in the stuff.
Salad ordered he waited at the cash register, having paid quickly, for his food. It wasn't a long wait, a salad really wasn't complicated to assemble after all, grabbing a plastic fork and napkins he headed off to find a solitary table for himself, not being the most social of individuals. Dressing packet in his hand he set his salad bowl, clear plastic, down on the table and sat himself down. Next time he would hold off on eating till he got home or eat before he left.

Trevor grabbed his wrap, and looked around before finding a table vacant by the window, he was hoping no one would take it before he got there. He hurried towards it and sat down just before another person took it. H nodded in approval and shifted to get comfortable, he sat down and glanced out the window for a few minutes before picking up his wrap and starting to eat it. He still was regretting the fact that he had come to the mall by himself.
He took a bite out of his wrap and took a sip of his drink before looking around and surveying the type of people that were sitting and socializing. Since well there really wasn't much to do when you were eating. He shook his head, the mall was slowly getting more crowded as more people came and went. The next time he wanted to eat he would probably wait until he got home. The mall had very little healthy choices.

Malls weren't meant to be healthy, at least in terms of food, this was something Alexandre was sure of. At least they had places which offered salads, places that weren't McDonald's. Rolling his eyes as he noted some gaggle of giggling girls, one was even twirling her hair about a finger and seemed to be making a habit of using the word like. For a moment he considered walking over and asking if she knew any other words or if the few she used between likes were just lucky guesses at speaking like a normal person. As it was he settled for turning his head away, pointing his nose up in the air as he did so, and made sure it was obvious he was looking away from her and her gaggle of friends. Fork full of dressing, salt and pepper, coated salad was brought to his lips and eaten.
It was sometime later that he had finished his salad, he actually had eaten it fairly quick, and getting up to dump the plastic container and fork, as well as other garbage, that he passed by a table with another lone male teenager sitting at it. They weren't like most around them, eating some greasy poorly made food or surrounded by friends. But Alexandre kept quite as he reached the garbage can, about a foot or less away, and set about dumping his trash.

Trevor finished up his wrap before taking idle sips from his drink, he stood up and picked up the container and his drink and weaved through the tables to the closest garbage can. Humming idly to himself, he nodded politely at the other teenager standing by the garbage can and dumped his trash in it. Before deciding head towards the washrooms to wash his hands.
At least he had a semi-healthy lunch that should keep him full for the time being until he got home where his mom would cook way healthier meals for him and his sister.

Taking note of the other teen at the garbage, and the nod of their head, Alexandre returned the gesture though it was a bit odd. Watching for a moment as they left, headed for the bathrooms, he turned and headed off to continue his shopping. He really needed to get Lily back so he had someone with him when he went shopping, shopping alone could at times be really boring.
Well, for now LIly wasn't here and he needed to get some shopping done so he'd go at it alone and get what he needed. He needed something simple he could wear for work, sort of a make shift uniform since they didn't have one, and other things.

Trevor washed his hands before pausing to ponder over something, he really needed to buy some new clothes. He shook his head before walking out of the food court and to go browse shops some more, to see if he found anything he liked. He still was unhappy that he was on this mall excursion on his own. Next time he would find some friends to go with.
He would have another reason to come to the mall, but he was currently living a bachelor life and he wasn't sure how long that would last. So he decided that he would indulge himself for the time being until he met someone.

It was some time later that he'd found himself a store which suited his needs, and his taste, and Alexandre went to work on seeking out what he could wear for work. Something proper but not too fancy, it was likely to get dirty, he didn't want to stand out too much and seem like a shopper and not a worker.
It was while shopping, looking through the racks of shirts, that he spied someone that looked familiar but he wasn't sure. Perhaps from school...but that would have been some time ago, years perhaps.

Trevor tapped his finger on his chin as he strolled through the stores looking at the different styles and pondering over what he could pull off. He needed some new clothes, his old clothes looked white washed and worn out and his mother had told him to shop for new ones as to make a good first impression on anyone he encountered at school or even out.
After awhile of strolling through stores and looking at the styles he had found a style that made him look somewhat preppy but not completely. He wondered if that was a good style for him, he had never gone shopping for clothes on his own, so this was a first time. He shook his head and mentally told himself that he could do it, he would need to if he was to find new clothes.
