Apple Store

[Tina]

A technology store that always has the latest gadgets. It's white walls and bright lighting give a very twenty-first century feeling, and one of the numerous blue-shirted employees is always on hand to help with questions. Great for students who are into the latest cell phones, or those simply looking for a fun way to spend an hour.

Olivia stood at one of the iphones for sale, playing around with the camera app. She was having fun pushing her nose up to look like a pig, puffing her cheeks out, and generally seeing how ridiculous she could make herself look. One of the employees tried to ask if he could help her, but Olivia just smiled and waved him away.

[Tina]

"I am." Olivia giggled. "Here, try this. If you take a picture on one and then take a picture of that picture, it creates this like Inception effect." She grabbed one of the cameras and handed it to the girl. "Here, you try!" She looked familiar, but it was hard to place the face. Olivia wondered if they went to the same school, and perhaps the girl had recognized her by her uniform. Then again, perhaps not.

Olivia smiled. "It was, wasn't it? Oh sure, you're totally welcome!" She took a step back when the girl noticed her uniform. "Um, yeah, I go to LAHS. I'm assuming you do too? Ooh, what year are you in?" She was pretty certain she'd have recognized the girl if she was a junior, but she looked too old to be an underclassmen. If she was a senior, maybe she'd know where some good parties were.

"Nice! Nice to meet you, Layna!" Olivia said with what she felt was the appropriate amount of cheer--so probably way too much. "I'm Olivia, and I'm not a senior yet. I will be next year though. So obviously I'm just a junior right now. Do you party a lot? I'd really like to, but the only parties I hear about are junior parties and they just aren't... Well, they aren't as much fun." After she finally finished, Olivia had to take several quick breaths.

[Tina]

Olivia nodded, especially excited by the idea of knowing someone who liked to throw her own parties. The thing about her uncle's parties sounded a little strange, but Olivia kept nodding along just the same. "Hey, well you should totally invite me to one! I don't usually drink, but I know a lot of people who I could invite if you wanted me to. Or if not, I mean, I'm totally great at keeping secrets." She pulled out her real phone and opened the contacts app. "Do you mind if I ask for your number? Or could I give you mine? Just so we could text about any parties. Or you know, anything else too."

[Tina]

Olivia's hands worked along her phone's keyboard as she entered the girls number. Under name, she paused, then typed in 'Layna (from the apple store)'. "Thanks so much, Layna! I'll text you a bit later just to make sure I have the right number." She sighed, realizing how boring the day ahead of her would likely be. "Hey, do you wanna hang out? I could stay here while you buy your phone, and then we could go to the beach or something? Stuff like that's always better with friends."

[Tina]

"Um, how about the beach?" Olivia asked. "We could stop by my place and grab suits!" She smiled, thinking about how fun it would be to go swimming, since she hadn't been in weeks.

((Do you want to move this to the beach?))
