I haven't read all the other replies.... but I can tell you that as a person who went to school high EVERY MORNING my senior year..... it's best to start off slow. Don't smoke too much, until you get used to it. School is NOT the best place to be high the first time, or to be getting used to it!

I would definately not eat it if I was you (this time). But then again.... smoke leaves SO much evidence, including the smell that will stick to you (and wherever you smoked). So you need a "safe environment" for smoking (you definately want to be in a relaxed & safe place & not rushed for time, because that will increase the chance of a total paranoia attack! Therefore, at home right B4 your mom returns isn't really a good idea), and you want to make sure to carry a pocket-sized febreeze (they sell these in the checkout isle in Wal-Mart, & is much better to smell like than too much cologne, that will just MIX with, and not DIFFUSE the smell anyway), and perhaps hand sanitizer, and visine to fix your red, glossy eyes!

Definately take the TIME to be PREPARED...... that is if you don't want to get caught.

I would invest in a cheap, small bowl (pipe) for you to smoke from. Or possibly even a dug-out "one hitter." These are good for just one smoker, and for just a brief or hurried toke session. I would personally get a small wood one at this point. It won't look too funny in your pocket or anything, because it's not heavy like glass or metal ones, and is pretty easy to conceal (for storage, keep it in a air-tight, ziplock bag to mask smell).

Then all you have to do is break up your bud and seperate the seeds and stems, and place bud product in the bowl. Then take as many hits as you need, want to, or can with whatever amount. There's usually a little "rush hole" on the pipe, that you cover with your finger while you light and suck, .....and then release ur finger & suck more, to have the rush of smoke shoot into your lungs. I usually take my finger on and off really fast while I'm sucking on a well-lit bud or bowl. If (when) it goes out, light and suck again! Continue until you're high or run out. Coughing makes it better really..... but can give you away, so take small enough hits if you need to be quiet.

And if you DO go to school when you're high for the first time..... tell NO ONE! In the case where someone (especially authority) "catches" you (or THINKS they have).... just deny it until the cows come home! As long as you don't have it on you, they can't prove squat! If a question or comment is made..... just stick with "I'm tired, my eyes itch," or "I am dehydrated (if you have major cotton mouth)." Think about what "normal," legal causes for your symptoms might be and just claim those!

So to sum it up.... In MY ADVISE:
1) Find a SAFE place where you will be undisturbed and will not leave (or it won't matter if you leave...) a ranking smell behind.
2) Get yourself a personal smoking device that's small and easily concealed. Like a small wood bowl (pipe).
3) Have "damage control" available, like febreeze (or another smell nutrilizer), or cologne if you can't find somethig better... and visine for your eyes.... and sanitizer for your hands.
4) Don't advertise the fact that you're high, or act goofy as hell. Have reasonable, adequate excuses available for any signs people might call you on ("I have allergies" (red eyes), "Someone borrowed my coat and made it stink like smoke" (smell), "I was up late studying & got no sleep last night"(tiredness or glossy eyes), "I didn't even eat dinner last night so I'm starving" (munchies).... ect....)
5) If you CAN...... hold off from having your first smoking or "high" experience away from school grounds, and away from any soon-to-be-returning parents!
