Mr. Responsible.

I went with Ian and a few friends to the movies recently. down at the pike. We bought our tickets, and proceeded INTO THE THEATER!
The guy tore our tickets, harasses Ian about his Birthday presents (asking him if it was food... it was, a friend of his baked him brownies, but he didn't knwo that), then as we're heading nicely to our theater.
"excuse me... exuse me!"
I turned around, saw the security guard guy, asking us who was the leader of our Group.

Teens have a funny way of being incredibly indecisive, within those two seconds of "we better find a leader before he gets mad", no one wanted to go.
Fine, let the homeschooled Kid do it, I know my rights, and i figured i was the oldest anyways.
I go up to him "you the leader?". i answered with confidence "sure am" (I was. no doubt.)

Now, if you're going to ask a bunch of Kids who their leader is, don't doubt the person who say's they're the leader. If they're willing to say it, they mean it. <- period

"What makes you the leader?" He REALLY asked me what made me the leader, perhaps the fact that i was brave enough to not just ignore him and keep walking?
"Well, I'm the oldest of the bunch" I wanted to say: "well no one was coming, so I did".
"How old are you?" Uhg, enough with the questions already! get to the point.
"I'm 17" "17!? but he just turned 17"
Dude. i hate it when people state the obvious and use it as a statement against what i just said.
"yeah, but I turned 17 in January, so i have a few months on him" ya dig?
The guy just sighed and shook his head "man, 17?"
Smile and nod people, smile and nod.
"alright, here's the thing, when you guys go in there you can't make any noise, alright?"
Yeah, whatever, we're a bunch of good kids anyways so that's what we were planning.
"Now, the city of Long beach has 10 'o clock Curfew"
Ok... it's only 8 and we're going to be late for the movie, so can you hurry up?
"So technically you have to be 18 or over to watch this movie, because when it's over it'll be past 10pm"
FINALLY! we're getting somewhere.
"ok thanks, I didn't know that" Because I live in lakewood and we don't have any stupid curfew's that show how much the city doesn't trust Teenagers.
"yeah well, now you do, so be really quiet."
Blah Blah Blah, he went on to say how when we come out we could either get a warning, or a ticket. Nice, thanks man, thanks Long Beach, thanks world for not trusting us.

Anyways, i felt all responsible and whatnot, and you can bet we didn't get in trouble :D even an hour past curfew.
Me and Ian even walked by a few raves, and no one said anything, totally felt Legit.
