In Trouble for Nothing

             As me and my friends get bored a lot on campus, we often try and find ways to entertain ourselves. Just a few nights ago we were throwing candy into each other’s mouths and trying to catch it. It then turned into a food fight with candy corn and gummy bears. We were throwing them as hard as we could, pelting them at each other. A few of our other friends walked by and we started pelting candy at them. We were all laughing and had forgotten it was past curfew. Our RA came out and gave us a warning that if we weren’t quite we would receive hours. Suddenly I felt as though I shouldn’t be there. I didn’t want hours of service required of me and so I went to my room to do laundry and get some studying done. One of my friends came with me. We were both in the room when my roommate came in and stated that there was a spider on my friend’s bed and everyone was afraid to kill it. She ran out of the room to go get the spider. About two minutes later my friend came in sad and begging me to kill the spider. Unwillingly (because I hate spiders) I grabbed a plastic cup from my cupboard and walked over to the room. I was asking question like who was watching the spider to which they answered nobody. That actually made me a little angry because if you don’t watch the spider, how am I supposed to know where it was. They were expecting me to search for it. Is started walking toward the bed and out from the corner one of our other friend jumps out and scares me. Naturally I scream and everyone starts laughing. Unfortunately they had forgotten that our RA lived right across the hall. The next thing we knew, her door was open and she was assigning us each three hours of service. Now you can see how this would make me mad. I had purposefully avoided the hallway in order to not obtain service hours and what happens? I get pulled out in a moment that it seems as though I’m doing a good thing and I get in trouble for absolutely nothing. I'm not necessarily mad at my friends but I was at the moment. It made me mad that they didn’t stand up and say it wasn’t my fault. Even though I was given hours for no reason I just try and remind myself that I love my friends and whatever happens we will still be friends.
