It all turned out ok.
The detective pulled the kid and several others aside at once, all who had been suspected of having drugs with them today.
He had ended up passing it off to his girlfriend to hold earlier in the morning, but after being pulled aside and questioned, he told Sebastian he wasn't going to bring anything to school again.
He told Sebastian he had too much to lose with only a month of school left for the year.
He has no idea how or why he got pulled aside, he wasn't alone when the detectives did it, so it looked like a random type of search, which is what we wanted.
I'm glad it's over, Sebastian is glad it's over.
He said that he never wanted the kid to get in trouble, he just didn't know how else to get out of having to take it.
So at least the kid was spoken to, realized he had an awful lot to lose, and hopefully will not bring anything to school again.
Sebastian came home extremely relieved.
Like a major weight had been taken off his shoulders.
He was happy and in a good mood when he came in the door, and we sat and talked about it.
I think he was relieved the kid didn't have it on him, he really didn't want the kid in trouble, and so when they saw each other in the last class of the day, they were able to talk and be "cool" with each other.
All Sebastian wants is to get through school without any problems, doesn't want to make enemies, but also doesn't want to have to do things just to fit in and be accepted.

You have a really cool son. It's totally respectable that he doesn't want to do it because that's not his thing (and being a freshman in high school it's hard as hell to say no to something a "senior" wants you to do), but he also didn't want to get the other kid in trouble. That's really, really cool.
I hope my kids (when that day comes) will have enough courage and strength to be able to do the same in a situation like this. Actually, I hope I can instill that into my kids.
Kudos for you, Kat.

So glad to hear that everything turned out so good! Hopefully the kid will truly realize how much he has to lose and get his life together!
And kudos to you for being such an awesome and supportive mom with one hell of a wonderful son!

I'm so glad it worked out well. If more parents were like you, easy for kids to talk to, maybe we'd not have such problems in the first place.
Sebastian not only saved his own ass from being busted with weed, but maybe he helped that other kid, as well. The other kid will never know it, though.

I think it's pretty awesome that that kid might have gotten the wake up call that he needed. Of course, a real wake up call might have been him actually getting busted. Minor scares like that don't tend to last long. :(
BTW Kat, you have been tagged!

I'm so glad to hear everything turned out okay. I hope the kid got the wake up call he needed. Sebastian can be proud of himself, he did the right thing.
