Idle hands.

Weekends were made for the Mall. Especially in a small town like this where there really wasn't much else to do. It was also one of the few places Alicia could tell her mother she was going and not guarantee a huge argument. For some reason, she'd decided Alicia couldn't get in trouble at the Mall.

Showed a real lack of imagination, honestly.

She sat in the food court, picking absently at a plate of cheese fries and contemplating her next move. There wasn't a whole lot of cash in her wallet, but she needed a new memory card for her camera at least. Too bad, though. There were some really cute pajama sets in the Victoria's Secret window display. A few that were guaranteed to make her mother pitch a fit if she ever saw them, which really only made them that much more appealing.

Maybe she'd do some window shopping next. It couldn't hurt to look, right?
