I just met some people from another town through a mutual friend two weeks ago. We got along and I drove them home because my mutual friend wanted to get "lucky," but they knew about a party so I went with them, and I got to know more people there. The past two weeks have been awesome because I've gotten free pot from these people I practically just met, we hang out and have fun until 2-3 am everyday which is a huge change compared to the small town life I've lived all my life. When we get bored we roll through where some of them used to live which is down in the ghetto big time and we've had about three guns drawn on us.
I usually avoid the really bad parts but last night, or this morning at 1am one of the girls I usually hang out with's boyfriend I just met wanted to meet one of his friends. I thought it was cool since we didn't know what else to do other than hang out at this other guys house which was becoming extremely boring fast. By the time we're one street from this guys house I notice just how bad of a neighborhood we have gone into and he tells me to turn left on a street. I do so to see five people standing around a car and a car pulled up behind me. I'm thinking "HELL NO" and drive right past them, when I get to the stop sign I notice that this car behind me is a cop, so I drive straight and he pulls me over.
I was hanging out with two girls and one guy, and all of them but me got put in the back of the police car because they were out past curfew. I wasn't because it is only a few more days until I'm an adult. The reason they pulled us over was because there was shootings on that street we rolled down earlier that day and they thought (because they didn't see who was inside) that we were involved. The guy cops would have let us go because they noticed that we really weren't going there for drugs or trouble since we didn't have money, didn't have drugs, and didn't have weapons. The guy cops would have let us go but there was one girl cop that decided to get everyone sent in a paddywagon except me because I was almost 18.
I just got a call home to my parents and drove home to find a long talk and explanation waiting for me. They don't think I'm a druggy and I told them we just went by to see the idiotic kids (the other guy in the car's) friend. The cop made it sound as bad as humanly possible by not saying that I was OK at first when she called my parents (she seriously did that on purpose) and telling them that I went by a drug dealer and gang bangers house. My parents gave me a long talk about getting to know new people instead of just trusting them as much as I just did, blah blah blah. I'm not sure what to do from here, whether to stop hanging out with all of them, or to just hang out in Turner and not to go near the ghetto again. I'm definately not hanging out with that kid that I hanged out with that night anymore. He knew he was going by a gang bangers house at 1am, I guess I'm just as stupid as him for trusting the guy not to lead me to a place where I could have had my head blown off. Oh well.
