I'm very new at this so pardon me if this may be in the wrong category. My problem seems to be a little bit bigger than an everyday life issue but a little bit less than a mental issue so I figured I'd put it here.
Here's the problem...I need some desperate help.
Im fifteen years old and I go to high school. A few weeeks ago, I got to school and I went to the bathroom. I walked into the stall and on the toilet paper dispenser was a wallet. I quigkly closed the bathroom stall door and stuck the wallet in my purse (i guess you could call that stealing). When I got to my first class, I realized what I did was wrong and I wanted to fix it (somewhat). Therefore, I took all of the personal cards such as credit cards, identification cards, etc. and handed them into the office (without the money or the wallet). The next day, I got called to the office by the vice principal to talk to me about the identification that I returned. When she asked me some questions, I lied and said that all i found was the identification. That wasn't a big deal untill she told my mother about my heroic story. My mother was very proud of me. A couple of weeks later, my mother saw that I had a new wallet in my desk. She immediately asked what it was and I lied to her. I told her that a friend had told me to keep it at my house for a while. My mother immediately got suspicious and she was thinking that possibly it was one of my friends that stole the wallet and gave it to me to keep for awhile. Just today (saturday) she asked me again about the wallet. This time, she asked me why the friend gave it to me to keep for a while. I made up another lie that she had bought another one and that she gave this one to me. She is now extremely suspicious and now im afraid that on monday, she is going to contact the vice principal and talk to her about it. I understand that the stories dont match up and that's why i'm scared. I think that the principal is going to ask the girl that i potentially "framed" and she won't even know what the vice principal is talking about.
Now to the point- I'm not sure what to do.
I really want to tell my mother that it was me that took the wallet but I know that she is going to tell everyone and make a big deal about it. I don't want the vice principal, the principal, my friends, my sister or even my dad to know that I did something this bad...and I dont want to wait until monday to tell her because then she will already have snooped around.
I realized that I have made a HUGE mistake and something like this will never happen again, but i'm scared as to what my mother will say.
Please post with any advice as to what i should do...its laying so heavy on my conscience that I can't even sleep. I have been up until 2:30 now.

please give me some advice that will help me make the right decision. Should I tell my mom? and what sould I tell her??
