Confessions of a Teenage Shopper(Aimee)

[Renee Laurent]

Click-Click-Click, Renee's heels echoed loudly throughout the noisy mall. It was a bright sunny day, as the blinding sunshine. Renee's wavy blond hair was tied up into a tight pony and was bouncy happily behind her as she walked a heavy walk down the mall. She looked super cute in her casual outfit. Renee was on a mission, her father had just recently sent her 500 dollers for having good grades and Renee was about to spend half-if not all- of the money that she had recieved. Renee couldnt help it, she was a shopaholic. Speaking of Shopaholic, Renee made a mental note to go see that in the theater sometime soon.

Renee went inside on of her favorite American stores, which was JCPenny's. Renee had learned that Penny's had really great cloths and if you were a smart shopper you could get twice the amount of cloths for half the price. Renee quickly waltz to the Juniors section, carefully looked for size 5 jeans, then carefully picked out matching tops, then headed toward the fitting room. Everything fit perfectly and Renee looked great. Once done trying on the cloths she payed for them, bought some nice teen jewelry, then headed back out into the mall.

Renee walked as far as the food court. It was around 1:30 on the Saturday afternoon and Renee decided that it was time to break for lunch. She ordered a ham and cheese sub from Subway along with some French Onion Sun Chips and searched for a table. Their were hardly any empty ones. After standing around for about five minutes or so Renee eventually found a table and quickly sat down. Renee was releived to get all the bags off her arms. She layed her purse down on the table. Renee took her cell phone out of her pocket and began texting people as she ate her sandwhich.

Aimee had just been browsing the mall and was slowly realizing she had become addicted with the place. Lately, things seemed slow at the school and she was doing fine in all of her classes so there really wasn't anything interesting for Aimee to do or be involved in. She did though find the mall interesting enough and had been spending her monthly allowance here for the past few weeks. She had just popped out of American Eagle and was heading to Subway for a semi-healthy meal. She did after all want to look super cute in her white and red polka dotted bikini she had just bought. Sure, Aimee's weight was fine and she was skinny as it was, but she just needed to tone her body.


Lately, since she had moved to the school from Colorado she hadn't been doing anything really athletic like snowboarding or running and so she had lost that athletic tone and strength to her body. As a result she had been out running on the dangerous streets of St. Louis and eating healthier even though she didn't really have to do any of this. In reality she could have just gone over to the McDonalds that sat right across the mall from the Subway and then grab a cookie down at the Great American Cookie store on her way to Hollister. Aimee was different however, she was sadly an athletic freak or an athletic body freak. Someone who just wanted their body to look a certain way even if they didn't have to have it looking that way.


As Aimee waited in line at Subway she looked around for a table and found there to be none. It wasn't packed or anything, but Subway didn't have many chairs and seats for people to sit down and enjoy their subs in. At first she thought she could just go down to the cookie place on the way to Hollister and maybe get a small chocolate chip cookie to eat while eating her sub, but then she spotted a blonde girl sitting a table texting. She looked familiar, Aimee had seen her at the grounds on Sententia, and knew she was a student there, but didn't know her name or who she was. After grabbing her turkey and american cheese sub with lettuce and mayo she slowly walked over to the girls table and smiled sweetly. "Um, do you mind if I sit here?" Aimee asked kindly enough and hoped maybe the girl would recognize her from school too and let her sit down.

Renee quietly ate her sub, taking in all of the delicious, nutritious flavors. Renee was a skinny 'I need to stay thin' girl. One of the reasons she loved Subway was because it provided taste for low cost and half the calories. Not to mention it was a supporter of her favorite show 'The Biggest Looser'. Of course drinking a coke didnt help matters any, but Renee was a soda/caffine freak. She sighed as she listened to the echo of all the chatter and wondered why she didnt bring a friend along to go with her. Shopping was always more fun when you had somebody with you. Even if it was just window shopping.

Renee was busy texting away on her cell to her best friend Lottie, when anothers girls voice entered the gates of her mind and intruded on her text thought. Renee looked up from her cell phone with an agrivated look on her face. Renee was actually a nice person when you got over her 'I'm a total bitch' mood. Renee was bitchy just to protect herself. She didnt like like people knowing her true feelings, mainly because she wanted to make sure if that person was trustworthy or not before opening up to them. Let alone who was this person that was obviously interupting her (not-so) important text.

Renee looked up to see who had asked to sit with her. Renee studied the girl who looked to be between the ages of 14-16. She was probably close to Renee's age. She was pretty, and had blond hair. She reconized her from the school that Renee went to. She seemed really nice and polite. Renee looked around and saw that their was not a single table around for her to sit down. Renee wouldnt want anybody to shun her away. Renee closed her phone and nodded. She smiled as she saw the Subway wrapping in the girls hand. That was already a point with her. Anybody who likes Subway is a friend of hers. Renee shook her head. "No go ahead. It took me ages to find this one." She smiled at the girl as she waited for her to sit down. This is where she should probably introduce herself. "I'm Renee Laurent by the way." She didnt want to bring up Sententia just yet. It wasnt something normal people brought up.
