Tia and Tamera began gazing around in the mall. A display of boots caught Tamera's attention.
"Look Tia!" Tamera pointed at the display window of boots. "There's my boots."
They both ran to the display window.
"They look even nicer in person." Tia said.
"Yea I know." Tamera smiled.
Tamera walked inside the store and Tia followed.
"Tamera what are you doing? You don't have the money to buy them?"
"It wouldn't hurt to look."
A sales woman walked right up to them. "Hi, may I help you ladies find anything particular?"
Tamera looked at the boots she wanted and back at the lady. "Yes."
Tia looked at her sister.
Tamera walked to where the boots were and picked one of them up. "Do you have this in size seven?"
"In fact, I think we do. I'll be right back." The sales woman left to the back of the room.
Tamera began getting excited.
"Tamera…"
"What? It wouldn't hurt to try them on."
They both sat on the chairs behind them.
The sales woman came back with a box. "Here we go." She placed it on the floor and pulled out one of the boots for Tamera to try on.
Tamera tried on the boot. "It fits! And it's comfortable too." She smiled.
The sales woman looked at Tia. "Did you want to try on some boots too?"
"Oh no thank you." Tia smiled politely.
"Will you be buying the boots?" The sales woman asked Tamera.
"Uhhh…" Tamera looked at Tia for a second and then back at the sales woman. "I have to think about it."
"Ok. Just let me know if you are interested in buying them so I can check you out. I'll be over here if you need anything else." The sales woman left.
"Tamera, you've tried them on now lets go."
Tamera stared at the boots for a second. "Hey Tia, you still have your mom's rent money with you right?"
"Yea."
Tamera looked at her sister with a mischievous grin.
"Ohh no Tamera!"
"Pleeease." Tamera begged.
"I am not giving you the money. My mom trust in me to keep this for her."
"Don't worry, I'll pay you back before she even knows the money is missing."
Tia looked kind of confused. "How will you do that?"
"I'll wear the boots for a day and then I'll return them back the next day."
"I don't know about this."
"Oh come on Tia what's the worst that can happen?"
Tia sighed. "Ok…" she pulled out the money.
Later on that day…
Tamera starred sadly at her new destroyed boots…
