What's your plan?

Get creative: shoplift

Realizing you don't have enough money to make a full outfit, you formulate a plan. You start by going to the store across from Forever 21: Bath and Body Works. Alex hovers around you for a while before going off on his own to explore. You find the least offensive scent available in a travel-sized pump bottle. You check out with a total just shy of $7 and pocket the rest of the cash. You're given a large bag for such a small item, but it's perfect for your needs.

You go back to Forever 21 and pick out some shirts and shorts in several sizes (making sure to not choose any with sensors on them that would trip the detectors at the edge of the store), as well as a few pairs of fresh underwear and a couple bras. You make your way to the changing rooms with your clothes in hand. Once inside, you quickly try each one on to see if it fits. Once you're happy you've found a reasonable outfit, you stuff them all into your Bath and Body Works bag, put on your original clothes, and leave the rest in the changing room.

You exit Forever 21, trying to look as casual as possible. Once you've exited the store, you see Alex waiting for you. "Got everything I need," you smirk, almost forgetting that you're upset with him.

"Really?" he asked, incredulous. "$18 covered all the clothes you need?"

"Don't worry about it," you respond.

"So now what?" he asks.

How do you respond?
