Arsonist much?
About under two months ago, a couple friends of mine and I went to his backyard and started this little contained fire in some wheel-barrel to burn up some olds thing we had. Instead of just throwing them away in the garbage, my friend thought it'd be cool to "burn" them away. Oh well.
So, we were having fun and all, as we see the smoke fill the air of my friend's backyard, than suddenly the Fire Department came... Uh oh. I kept telling my friend that we were going to get in trouble, but he just kept saying we'll be fine... Bullshit.
His mom tried to stop him, but he didn't exactly listen. His mom stood at the door step, gazing at the fire and yelling "I'm watching you, are you done yet?" He yelled back, "No, Go away, we're fine!" Than she stood there than walked away. Funny thing is, after the whole thing went on and the Fire Department came, she acted like she didn't even know. Trying to play it cool, she started talking about flowers and plants, making jokes, trying to make the department laugh. Didn't exactly work though.
They questioned us for our name and than following up our address and parents' names. I gave them my mothers name of course, but this wasn't nearly the worst part. The one volunteer Fireman, called in the "barrel-fire", and asked "Why did you guys do this? Do you know the dangers of fire?" My friend like an idiot responds, "We were bored, and there's nothing to do in this town. It's boring." The man replied back in a nasty manner, "Oh so setting fires is fun? DO YOU KNOW HOW DANGEROUS THAT IS." Than he kept continueslly taunting us about what our friend said. Mumbling what he said to himself constantly.
He than proceeded in our "information arrest," and lechered us about what can happen to us since we did this. Like we can go into some Fire Safety Program for Pyromaniacs, or pay major fines. After the continues speech, we were forced to go into the cop car to get a ride home. My mom wasn't quite too mad, but what comes up next is what is interesting.
About 2 months after the incident, we got a huge envelope in the mail. I thought it was over, but psh, I was wrong. Very wrong. I opened it up, and I have to go to court on October 5th, 1:30pm for a meeting about the incident. My two other friends and their guardians have to take present as well. They said we may go on Probation and/or pay a fine of $30.00 per complaint, which was one, unless we are proven innocent.
Of course, we won't be proven innocent. We will be guilty as soon as we walk in the door. We started a fire, and we must face the consequences. I guess, I get out of school for my arson ways, but I don't quite think it's that bad. Nothing caught flame, and nothing exactly happened. The fire was put out with the hose before the even came. It's just ridiculous.
I guess, I'll see them in court. Hopefully, I don't have to go on probation. That'd suck.
