I got caught shoplifting from claires?

okay so don't give me a lecture i know what i did was wrong... and im already in trouble with my parents but anyways here is the story- i was in Claire's with my friend and i saw these earrings, i didn't have money but i really wanted them so i took them off the cardboard holder thing and slipped them into my pocket, without my friend even noticing. They costed $10.12. Well as me and my friend were leaving nobody said anything to me, we were about 5 feet out of the store and the gay guy working at register came out holding the purple cardboard earring holder and said " can i have my earrings back?" i pulled them out of my pocket and gave them to him. and he took them and said "come with me now" so he brought us behind the counter and he said "have a seat" even tho there was no chair. so he called someone and said it very loudly into the phone almost screaming, so loudly the entire store looked over " WE HAVE A SHOPLIFTER, WHITE FEMALE, NOT CAUSING ANY PROBLEM" minutes later 2 mall cops came over standing outside the store. he took out the paper and started asking me for my name, address, age, phone number, etc. I told him my name and he screamed at me in my face again " YOUR GONNA HAVE TO SPELL THAT" so i spelled it. than he asked for a parents number, i gave him my house number, no one answered. and than he asked for a cell, i lied and told him my parents dont have cell phones and he said " well if you don't give me a number to call right this moment im going to send your and your little friends asses to jail, where you can wait til someone answers." so i gave him my moms cell and he huffed loudly and threw his arms in the air and yelled " you couldn't tell me that the first time!" so he called my mom told her what i did and she said she will be right over. as we waited a real sheiff came into the store, one of the mall cops behind him and said "okay so whats going on?" the guy said "well (pointing at me) she was the one with the merchandise and she (pointing at my friend) was with her but she said she didn't have anything and didn't know she did it, but officer i find that very hard to believe she didn't know her friend was planning stealing, which is a very serious crime." the sheiff looked at me than my friend and rolled his eyes and said "do you have somewhere more private?" the gay guy said "oh yes yes back here officer come with me." we all followed him to the back room and than my mom just walked in. she asked my friend if she could wait with my sisters outside the store, and the gay guy yelled "she is evidence and part of the crime she cannot leave!" the officer rolled his eyes again and said " she's fine, she can go." so the officer started asking me and my mom questions and toward the end my mom asked " can you not press charges? she will never come back to this store and I'll pay double or triple the price of those earrings just please don't press charges." the gay guy stood up and said "Here at claires we procsecute EVERYONE, last week my own cousin was caught shoplifting here and guess what? we prosecuted her too." so i had to sign this tresspassing form so i cannot go back into the store, and they said i would get a court date in the mail or something like that. They never arrested me or asked for ID or drivers liecence for my mom. The item was only 10.12 and they never took me to the jail. How will I be prosecuted? What will happen? also the gay guy who worked there said in the beginning me and my friend were banned from the store, but the cop never got my friends name or information and never signed the form like i did, so is she banned too? please answer thanks
