What's your best story from your freshman year in high school?

Can I do Sophomore year?

In freshman year me and my friends had figured out a way to get onto school grounds late at night. We lived very close to the school and quickly had all the holes in the fences that led into the football grounds storage areas mapped out.

We'd go through the holes at night. It started off just turning the football stadium lights on to get the security guard to chase us away. It was really fun, we liked the adrenaline of having his truck behind us in the field chasing us.

We'd get 10 or so people to go onto the field, turn the lights on, then run from him. We had him chasing us all over the campus in his truck.

This escalated, and eventually we found a way to climb on top of the school roof. We'd get up on the roof late at night and smoke cigars. Thought we were the coolest motherfuckers.

This led to us finding a way literally inside of the school through unlocked open hatches on the roof. It was so nerve wrecking and creepy.

So, this was just the shortest preamble to the main story, lots of things happened before this but this is where the climax begins.

One night we're in the school, we found those riding floor buffers that the janitors use, we got on to one and rode it around the empty school all night. It was so much fucking fun.

Then, one of my friends accidentally drives it into a door. It was a metal door leading into the cafeteria, and it cracked the glass and bent the metal. We nope the fuck out, put the things back where we found them.

We go to school on monday. Every phone call in class made my heart race. I got a haircut so they might not recognize me if they think to check the cameras at 4am. When this whole thing started we wore shirts wrapped around our face, but quickly stopped bothering with that when we thought there was no chance we'd get caught.

It's now friday. I still get freaked when the phone rings but I figure maybe they've just given up. I haven't heard anything about it from anyone. No way would they think to check the cameras at 4am on a weekend to see what happened.

Then the phone rings while I'm asleep in class. The teacher tells me to go to the principals office. I knew this was the end. As I'm going through the front of the school I see the security guard that we'd been tormenting all year. He's smiling at me with his arms crossed. He looks proud. My nemesis has won.

I walk into the principals office and his fat face is blood red.

"We've wasted hundreds of man hours going through camera footage. I don't want to waste any more time with this. I'm going to ask you one time, and one time only. Where were you at 4 am on saturday night."

I knew it was over at this point so I just very quickly respond "Here"

His face went back to normal and he got really happy. He said most people would have sat there and tried to lie to him for hours, and he was really glad I didn't, and if I had they would have sent me to some juvenile delinquent program and I would have been there until monday and had to have gone to court.

Long story short, parents shit on me, got suspended for 2 weeks, one of which was finals week, had to get a job to pay for the doors. 6 months probation.
