Her mom said they would have to wait until it wasn't a school day. A few days later, they rushed and got to the mall as soon as it opened so that they could beat the crowds. But when Kara got inside, she wasn't even sure which store she wanted to look in first. She ended up buying something she thought would go with a lot of the clothes Jamie liked.
