Legal Question in DUI Law in Pennsylvania

I am 19 yrs old. I was at a party in Media, PA (Delaware County) a couple nights ago. I just got there like an hour before, and this is what happened:

Knock knock knock, someone opens the door, and 3 police officers come into the apartment. After a little while they decide to breathalyze us one by one. Its my turn, so I get up, walk over to officer1 blow in the breathalizer, then walk over to officer2 and give him my name and address (didnt have my id on me), and officer1 says "he blew a 0.035 (Was not drinking much, just hanging with old friends). Then officer 2 tells me to take a seat on the steps, which i do.

While this was happening, my friend blew in the breathalizer, and started arguing with the officer1 because she wouldnt let him see the number he blew. then he went over to officer2 who got his information, and officer1 tells him my friend blew a 0.075. Officer2 tells my friend he can leave, meanwhile im sitting on the step. I was driving my friend, so I asked the officer if I could leave as well, and he said yes.

A few days later I get an underage drinking citation in the mail. Charge: underage drinking, total due: 437.00, and the citation says "def did consume alcohol under the age of 21, pbt = .035

Is there anyway I can do something to get out of this, or at least not get my license suspended? i dont care how much i have to pay or do, I just can't have my license suspended or I cannot get to school or work.

Thanks for any help... i have court on the 9th which is tuesday.
