How to Get Out of Work For a Day?

I work at a store in the mall (for the summer). I'm supposed to work Tuesday at 2. I attend college an hour away and I have an interview at the mall near my school (to work during the school year) at another store on Tuesday at 2. I would just tell the manager at my current store that I have something important to attend (like an interview for a scholarship or something) but they'll say I should've requested the day off in advance.

I've been hired at this store for almost 6 weeks and have only worked twice! I'm contemplating not even giving an excuse because they've treated me like such crap.

What do you think I should do? Thank you in advance.

Update:

I don't really want to call in sick because I have to work again the next morning it just won't be believable

    Just tell them you have something school related (not a lie) and you just found out about it (also not a lie) so unfortunately you cannot come in.

    You do not need to elaborate, but just realize as a result you may get lesser hours as you will be deemed as unreliable. But you don't seem concerned about this job so it shouldn't be an issue for you.

    Call the dumbest person at work and use really big words eg instead of sick use bilious
