Legal Question in Criminal Law in California

First time arrested. What do I expected???

Hello.

Iam 17, live in california and I was arrested for shopliftting.

The merchanise was worth about thrity dollars. The merchanise was diet pills. I was cooperative with authorities and it's my first time every being in trouble with the law. I want to know what I can expect when I go to court in two months. I wanted to know if there was any chance that the judge might give me a warning because of the fact this is my first offense and if not how long until I can clear my record. I was also wondering if it was a good idea to try to inform the judge with statements from people who know me and can testify that this action was completely out of character for me. I also have a clean high school record that I can get a copy of and records of most of the community service I have done willingly on my own.
