Wait a second, you live in OC, and go to community college, then I know they offer free legal service for you. I go to GWC, and i know the entire CCCD offers lawyers to help with this shit. As for the other CCs in the area they have all been the same to my knowledge. Their fees are your tuition, which may be going down to 15 bucks a unit, I love community college!
You want medical care, a lawyer, mental assistance, an education, we can either give it to you for free just for abusing our system or we can make it attainable to the umpteenth degree. Check out the section in the class schedule breaking down what your 20/semester health fee gives you sometime. It's a lot more than the dozen free meals they schedule each semester.
I am 20, will be 21 in June (talk about a day to live on in infamy) and I do partake of that glorious substance ethanol, I just do it indoors with friends who are of age, it's easier. I also sit on anyones car who thinks they can drive after as much as wafting a bottle under their nose. So far this is effective at preventing people around me from being stupid. Heck maybe someday we can kick back and throw one back. Please do not take my tone here as condescending, I am just trying to offer what help I can.
As for your plea, IANAL (and I would consult one like everyone so far has said) but i would plead guilty, no contest is a formalized protest and does not gain you any advantages, there is a reason it's rare. I also wouldn't rat your friend out, you won't gain by it but it will make your friend your enemy. This is gonna blow but all you can do it bite down and bear it.
