Legal Question in Appeals and Writs in West Virginia

I am 18 years old from Ct, but I go to school at West Virginia University. When I got back from Christmas Break 5 of my friends and I got caught with alcohol in our dorm. Because the cops were in the building for a drug bust earlier that night they overheard and we ended up getting underage consumption. I was not breathalyzed, or visibly intoxicated. My parents were ok with this, as I was going to plead not guilty, however I recieved another this weekend for sneaking into a dormitory. Yet again, I was not visibly intoxicated or breathalyzed. I simply was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and the cop had no reason to randomly choose "underage consumption" as a ticket for me and my boyfriend. What do i do? My parents know about the first one but not the second. Do I plead guilty for 1? for both? or plead not guilty for both?
