The mall, filled with many types of people, and the opening to many things to go see. Ghiste was here with his sister, while she was shopping for clothes, he was shopping for hair care products, so they weren't really near each other. It would of been embarrassing if they were, Ghiste was fifteen, he couldn't be found roaming around with his sister, yuck, gross! So there he was, at a shop with a bunch of hair products as he was looking around to see which one might help more for him.
"This one makes my hair smooth, but this one makes it shiny, hmm..."
Looking around at the products, taking heavy consideration, as the dull green eyes were picking up bottles trying to see which one might be good for applying into his lovely long brown hair, Ghiste finally made his to the perfect appliance! Luckily, he had a hundred bucks in the pocket of his black leather jacket. They were at the mall, he had to have at least SOME money to get stuff he needed.
"Awesome! This one makes my hair smooth AND shiny, that is perf-"
Ghiste's thought was cut off as he then found his attention being ripped away from the hair care, and sucked into a random distraction started by some person...
OOC: Not to big of an opening, so use your imagination, if you want me to make it more... easy to respond to, just tell me, and I will change it up and all that. ^^

Shampoo, that's what she was here for. She had recently run out of her favorite brand and had come to the mall to buy some more before she suffered from split ends or something equally as terrible. She glanced at a strand of her long goreous dark brown hair, examining the end for emphasis. Perfect, at least for now. Her hair was her pride, and a good guy catcher.
She flipped her long shimmery hair over her shoulder, catching no less than three glances from passerbys. Chi pretended to take no notice as she reached for the purple bottle on the shelf, her salvation. She glanced down the isle, noticing the onlt other occupant at the moment, a boy. She flashed what would be a humbly attractive smile before walking past him, adding an extra swish to her skirt movement as she passed by him, though seeming to take no notice of him beside the quick, cute smile.

"Wow..."
Looking at the girl for a few seconds, and then looking back down at the product in his hand he began to think a few seconds exchanging glances. Which one was more important, the girl, or the hair product, it was such a hard decision! Putting the hair thing back into the shelf Ghiste looked at it a few second before standing up, and deciding to go talk to the girl! Yeah, can you say perverted? No, it wasn't that, he had something more serious in mind. Moving behind her then tapping her on the shoulder, he could only hope he got her attention. He was going to speak before she thought he was planning on making some sort of move, and he kept a friendly smile when he did so. He didn't want to get slapped, so he had to stay safe.
"Hey, where did you get that skirt, I need to buy my sister something for a birthday present in about a week, and I think that would look good on her, y'know?"
Ha! And you thought he was interested in her! No, she was cool and all, but nothing Ghiste hasn't seen before!

Chi spun around to face the boy, a slightly confused look on her face. Well, that wasn't the oppening line she was expecting, but maybe this guy was an idiot.. She smiled coyly at his question, looking down at her attire. She fiddled with the end of her skirt with her free hand, the other still clutching the shampoo bottle.
"This old thing? I can't quite remember, it might have been somewhere around here.."
She said, meaning the mall. She glanced up at the boy, her hand still lingering at the hem of her skirt that lingered about mid-thigh. She doubted he was going to but his sister a skirt, and if he was, she felt sorry for his sister because she wasn't quite sure he knew what he was doing when it came to women's fashion despite the fact that he had asked her, as she was quite trendy.
"If you're looking for a gift for your sister, might I suggest a cd or some makeup, that way you won't risk her not liking it...is that what you were in the hair care isle for? A gift?"
She asked, a sweet smile playing about ruby lips. It seemed innocent enough, but depending how h took it, it could be a hidden barb at his grooming choices. His hair was quite taken care of, she noticed, possibly he was a bit vain...but it didn't matter because she really didn't care. She twisted a strand of her long dark hair around her finger absently, waiting to see what he would say to that .

"Not really, I'm just in here passing the time..."
Ghiste spoke this with an unsettle voice as he felt a little bit awkward about asking about a present for his sister at such a random time, pretty embarrassing. That was why at the end of the sentence he let his voice train off, it was because he didn't really have much more things to say. Sure, it was weird, passing the time by looking at products for your hair, but it was better than being a video game nerd, right!? With that said, Ghiste slipped his hands into his black leather jacket, just because he was used to it, did he need any other of a reason? Yep, so there he was, standing there, a weak yet confident smile on his face as usual, and he was just looking with a slightly interested look with those dull green eyes of his.
"Uhh... thanks for the advice."
Yeah, let's admit it, Ghiste was at a bit of a loss of words for once, but he wasn't the perfect speaker out there. Something about conversation with strangers took that much more of an effort, but don't worry, he was just getting used to it. I, the narrator, am perfectly sure that Ghiste will be able to make a GREAT come back later in the conversation, but we will just need to wait to see, until then... Well, you see how he is talking now, PATHETIC!
OOC: I rambled a lot... ;[

Chi blinked for a moment, watching the boy sort of falter for words...a moment ago he was completely confident about getting a present for his sister, and now he didn't seem to have anything to say. She gave the boy a cursory glance, from his feet up to his shiny hair...hmmm, he wasn't that bad looking, and his clothes were relatively fashionable, especially with the leather jacket, but a guy looking like that and sounding the way he did when he first approached her (despite the content), it didn't explain why he was acting like he was now. Strange.
"Yeah, this is a good place to...you kno, pass the time and all.."
She replied awkwardly, agreeing with him for the sake of conversation. She actually could think of a few places besides the hair care isle at the mall to 'pass the time,' unless he was meeting someone or had something else to do here, which in that case, she could let it slide. She watched him place his hands in his jacket pockets, a moment of coolness among his aura of temporary awkwardness. Chi smiled, inclining her gorgeous head in a slight nod, her long dark hair floating a bit around her shoulders.
"Nice jacket.."
((ooc: omg, I like the active narrator part, it made me laugh xD))

OOC: I try. ^^
Alright, Ghiste was thinking, he needed something to talk about as back up in case the girl doesn't walk away awkwardly, and they end up standing there for a pretty long time. Let's see, he could always bring up a funny story at school involving some random incident, but that was when she went on complimenting his jacket.
ALRIGHT, CAN YOU SAY SELF CENTERED STORY TIME!?
"You like it!? Yeah, I got it back at Houston, Texas when I was living with my parents. Unfortunately, it was too big a size, so I couldn't start wearing it until I hit high school. Still a bit too big, but it should fit me perfectly if I have any other spurs of growth through out my high school term, and..."
Cutting himself off noticing he was talking way too much about the jacket, Ghiste coughed then gave an embarrassing little grin. He used to be the very talkative type back at middle school, so he was trying to cut back on the self centered speaking, and trying to go more toward the 'and how does that make you feel' crap that the therapists used. Alright, not that exactly, but I think that you all get the point.
"Heh, sorry about that. Hey, I know we just met each other, and everything, but... want to go over to the food court and get something to eat?"
Well, they were in the mall, and Ghiste could feel a few small rumbles in his stomach. We aren't saying he was exactly hitting on her, but you got to remember, it was nice to have company when you were eating and such, especially with someone who looked around your age!
OOC: Bleh, sorry about the length, I got excited.

Chi giggled, this boy was certainly a character. He had spurts of confidence followed quickly by self consciousness. Did that make him vain? She would have to see. But for right now, she had a lunch date to agree to. Placing the bottle in her hands on the shelf, she could always come back for it later, she smiled, long dark eyelashes fluttering for the briefest of moments.
"Hmmm, sure. I would love to. Your treat?"
She asked sweetly. Of course if he was the one asking her out after comparing her cute short skirt to his sister (which is a slight put off), he could at least foot the bill.
((ooc: ugh, sorry short. *achoo!* Not feeling the best..))

OOC: No worries, I don't plan on over killing you with super long posts. ^^
"Yeah, as long as you promise not to spend past twenty bucks, I can't risk losing everything in my pocket!"
Ghiste had enough money to spend at least fifty bucks eating, sure it may make him look crazy, and he would probably make an excuse as to why he burned fifty dollars to his sister, but it was worth it. It was better than eating alone because then you feel all... lonely and stuff, not cool. Letting out that very confident smirk that spreads on his lips when things are going well, he slipped his hands into his pockets then turned the other way to get going to the food court. He would wait for her, so he could carry a conversation on there way there instead of walk in silence.
"So, I don't believe I got your name. Mine is Roy Jacobs, but they call me Ghiste, yes, I know it's weird, really long story."

Hmmm, 20 bucks? She could live with that. It wasn't like she was one of those girls that milked all the money out of their date and then just leave them hanging. She was far more manipulative on a psychological level...when she felt like it. But lunch sounded great, she'd run out of the house this morning without grabbing a bite to eat. Stupid girl, so now she was paying for it.
"Don't worry, I'm that that expensive of a girl.."
She said, winking. A smile spread across the face of the dark haired girl. So he remembered introductions, that put him a notch higher than most of the other guys she'd met so far. Apparently when dazzled by a pretty face, they forget their manners...but anyway. Hmmm, Ghiste? That was a bit peculiar, as she didn't seem to find the connection to Roy anywhere, but maybe it was just one of those nicknames, and she had to admit, Ghiste was definetly way cooler.
"Pleasure to meet you, Ghiste. My name's Chihiro, but everyone calls me Chi."
She said as they began to walk out of the hair care isle and out into the main stream of the mall. People were bustling about, their arms laden with multiple bags from different stores. Chi breezed through the crowd, keeping up with Ghiste without much effort.
((ooc: oh bless you! You have no idea how it kills me when people like write 3 books worth for one post. Plays hell with my add. I mean, descriptive posts are nice, but there's a line, you know? *falls over*))

"Ah, so any reason why you are here at the mall Chi, or are you just hanging around like me?"
Ghiste asked, his tone was a bit louder because of all the other chatting going on all about them. Ghiste walked slow enough to where they wouldn't get separated because in the mall, when one gets separated, it will be ages before they find each other, and since they barely knew each other, they wouldn't be determined enough to look for ages. With that being noted, it would only be reasonable if Ghiste remained close enough to her, forget personal space, they could get lost if they weren't a few feet from each other! And so they walked to the food court which was about two minutes away, that was going to be a blast!
Oh right, and Ghiste kept that charming smile of his as he kept half his focus on Chi, and the other half on the spots ahead of him so he doesn't trip or collide with anyone. That just about explains it all, let's just hope Ghiste doesn't screw anything up now!

The dark haired girl shrugged casually, keeping up her pace as she walked. She weaved out of the way of a busty woman carrying so many purchases that she could hardly see, Chi almost rolled her eyes at her. Why endanger yourself and other shoppers by overloading yourself with parcels? Really...She giggled as the woman tripped on the first step of the escalator, dumping some of her purchases on the man in front of her. He didn't look too pleased. She turnedher attention back to Ghiste, still laughing a bit.
"Heh, hmm...yeah, the mall's got its occasional entertainment.."
She said, shrugging again, indicating the comedy act they'd just witnessed.
"..but its also a great place to pick up guys who are willing to buy a pretty lady lunch."
She added, winking one of those enticing chocolate eyes at him, a smirk playing about her lips.

A smirk played on Ghiste's lips when he noticed the girl falling down, his body head turning to the side to watch it all take place. A simple chuckle escaped as well before Ghiste quickly diverted his attention back toward Chi because it seemed she was talking, and Ghiste was almost completely out of it to hear her. Good recovery though, he heard the last thing she said about guys buying pretty girls something to eat. Well, look there, she caught him! She now knew Ghiste's master plan to corrupt this girl's mind, and make her his own! Well, actually no, but it could of been if this wasn't Ghiste we are talking about!
"Well, glad to be of a service to ya then!"
Yeah, Ghiste knew how to take a joke, okay, maybe he didn't respond to it with the best line, but at least he wasn't crying like a baby or something. If she was serious though, well, Ghiste would never need to know if she was serious. He was too focused on getting grub to think about her being serious anyways! Well, not really, but we can make an excuse for the poor dude, right?
"So like... any particular place you know you want to eat at yet, Chi?"

Chi pondered her options when the food came into view, the lit up signs blazing above the different food stalls, the plethora of tables dotted around in the middle. Now why couldn't the school cafeteria be more like this? Choices, that's what it was all about. She bit her bottom lip thoughtfully, her hand absently straying to the charm bracelet on her right wrist as per habit.
"Umm...I'm thinking Chinese or pizza, how about you?"
She said, watching him curiously. Sure, the two were complete opposites, but who was to dictate the taste cravings of the average female? Exactly, best not to mettle, mortals. Bwahaha.

And so Ghiste was left with the decision of a life time. It was going to be a difficult decision, this could be the turning point of this relationship, in a friendship way of course. Now let us look at the choices!
Chinese? Too expensive, and all Ghiste really likes that they have is their rice.
Pizza? They could share an extra large for like fifteen bucks, cheap and good, pizza it is!
"I'll go with pizza, mind splitting a large with me?"
Ghiste said this in a friendly tone as he looked around for where the pizza place might be. Nope, he couldn't find it, he continued to look though, he was sure he would find the sign eventually. Still, even with the confusion as he looked around, he kept that confident look on his face as if it didn't matter much.
"Yeah, mind uhh... leading the way?"
Ghiste gave up looking. He could be a lazy bastard at times, but this is for the sake of saving time! Or so that's what he hoped she would think!
