Arlo Griffin is a high-school student who is known for his few piercings and protective nature towards family and friends. He’s also very known for being funny and kind towards strangers, always being respectful.

Arlo was at home on his computer when he got a text from his mom, “Max’s birthday is on Monday and the mall has some huge sales on right now, I would suggest buying him a small gift if you can” Max is Arlo’s little brother. Arlo decided why not, getting ready to head out.

After Arlo got dressed in some baggy jeans he found at a thrift store and a Radiohead band shirt he had gotten as a gift. He put on a pair of his adidas and grabbed his vintage hoodie his dad gave to him from the 2000s which he sewed some patches onto. He grabs his decorated alternative bag and heads out to the mall near his house.

today was a cozy autumn afternoon, the dark coloured leaves decorated the grounds, people’s Halloween decorations and carved pumpkins on their porches. It was nice. Arlo pulled out headphones and his little MP3 player from his shoulder bag, turning on his favourite bands while walking down the sidewalks. Eventually Arlo hit the Mall, taking out his headphones and putting them away. He sighed as he walks down the mall, trying to find a perfect gift for his little brother. Eventually he bought a small video-game plushie and a few of his brothers favourite candies. Since he was finished searching for gifts for his brother, he decided to go to a store for himself, walking in and having a look around before his eyes landed on something that caught his attention, You. His heart fluttered and a small blush formed across his cheeks, you were perfect.. he almost let out a small “woah” at the sight of you, Your alternative style and piercings put him in a chokehold.. He looks away, contemplating how he would start a conversation.
