yeah so I came back from H-SC yesterday afternoon instead of today. Everything was going great until about 4am yesterday when I saw a bright line shine in the back of this girls Suburban and then a knock on the door and the words "Open up, Police!" I'm like "Shit, they think we're having sex." but it was ok because were both asleep and clothed and we hadn't even kissed or anything. That wasn't it.
The story is kind of long so uhh, you don't have to read it I don't really care.
The girl who I was with actually brought my exgirlfriend, L, there, since they were both at Sweet Briar for an accepted students weekend thing. Well she was in my bestfriend C's car and the police had stopped them. C got 3 misdemeanors and L got 1 (though she should have gotten possession of marijuana because she had an eighth in her purse they found...C got it and he only had a bowl with resin in it.) They both had minor in possession of alcohol and C had possession of false identification.
Anyway since the girl I was with, K, had brought L who is 16 and K is 18 L was K's responsibility. You see, L had her shirt off...I don't really know why but nothing was happening they were just sitting there. Anyway the cops came and got us because K brought L. I hadn't smoked anything but there was some in the car so when they had us follow them to the police station I put it in my pocket and when I got out I tossed it beside the building in case we got searched. We just sat in the waiting office of the campus police building and a sheriff from the city came in and was just making conversation with us, he said we'd probably be ok although if we had been drinking, though he doesn't care if we have been, we could get a DUI for being in the car. He got us Dr. Peppers and told us all cops aren't dicks. So they call L's parents and I overhear some of the questioning and stuff. Eventually one of the cops walks out and tells K she is free to go and he looks at me:
Cop: "How old are you?"
Me: "17, but my parents know I'm here."
Cop: "So you aren't a student here? What are your plans for next year?"
Me: "I've enrolled here for next year"
Cop: "Have you been drinking?"
Me: "I've had a little."
Cop: "A little?"
Sheriff: "Just enough right?
"
Me: "Yes sir."
Cop: "Do your parents know you've been drinking?"
Me: "I assume not"
Cop: "How do you think mommy and daddy would feel knowing this?"
Me: "They probably wouldn't like it."
Cop: "How long are you staying?"
Me: "Until Sunday"
Cop: "Then I suggest you don't have any more alcohol, because if you do and we catch you know what's going to happen?"
Me: "I'll be arrested."
Cop: "Yes, and you can kiss your acceptance to H-SC good bye."
Then he said something about not being able to drink if you're a minor without a h-sc education and told me I was free to go with a strict warning.
So K and I walked to my friends dorm waiting on C to finish up. L was there until her parents came awhile later. C met us there and then we walked her to her car and C took L's purse (which was in K's car) in to her. That's when the cops found the weed so they had to search K's car (they found an open bottle of Malibu but just confiscated it...it was the cool Sheriff though.) C and I just went back and knocked on our friends dorm, he finally woke up after like 10 minutes and told us to just sleep on the floor (it was about 5:30 AM) The floor was insanely hard and I was freezing. It was a horrible nights sleep. I slept for about 13 hours last night.
We got up, showered, ate breakfast and left around 1:40. Apparently Laurens parents want to call my mom/come by because they think I'm some big pothead just because C had a bowl. I was halfway across campus when they got arrested and had nothing to do with them. I had been telling L we didn't want to hang out with them all night.
The actual parties were fun though. I was told to chug my beer and get fucked up by one of the admissions guys I saw.
All in all I lucked out not getting charged with possession by consumption or something. I think the fact that I was with a girl who was 18, we were both clothed and asleep helped my case. And the fact that I'm enrolled for next year and I was cooperative. My eyes were insanely bloodshot and I reaked of alcohol though so he knew I had been drinking...a lot. I just hope I don't get in trouble for marijuana when that really had nothing to do with my night, and I had nothing to do with L getting in trouble.
