Really paranoid, need advice..

Ook, big story, but I'll make sure to include all the details. I have 2 friends that I mainly hang out with at school. I'll call the first one "T", and the second one "P". I also often go to T's house, although most of T's other friends don't know about me (except the ones that go to our school). Anyway, about a month or 2 ago, T and P and a bunch of other guys were at the mall. One of T's friends (I'll call him "J") got into a fight with some guy at the mall, and both J and T got arrested and charged with assault and robbery. P and some others managed to get away, although people reported seein P from a distance, and they are now aware of what he looks like. Therefore, P doesn't go to the mall anymore (I should also mention that both J and T are banned from the place, too). Thankfully I was never there, so I don't have much to worry about that one incident, and nothin much really happened since. Well actually, T is screwin around with a girl who is cheatin on a 24yr old guy with him, but I never really paid much attention to their lil love triangle. The point is that the 24yr old doesn't know he's bein cheated on (nor that T even exists), and T and her might be sexually active. Oh yeah, T also once told this other girl some months back that her bf "M" (who is involved with gangs and has a cocaine-dealin record as well as anger management problems) was cheatin on her, and he got mad at T for that, but it never really escalated to anythin other than M not chillin with T and the guys anymore. Me and M get along at school, although I haven't seen him for a while. I DO know for a fact that M and that chick are still together, though. As you can see, T seems to be a guy who isn't exactly leadin a good path in life, but at least I can trust him as a friend.
Here's the info on my school:
I go to an alternative school, and it is literally FULL of gangs (to a ridiculous point), it has a probation class full of people with criminal records rangin from assault to attempted murder, and in the past 3 years, already 2 people have been shot in gang/drug/beef -related incidents at my school. But overall, if you don't say anythin stupid or hang around with the wrong people, chances are you'll have nothin to worry about.
Now this is what happened. I was sittin at home playin Killer Instinct on my computer when the phone rang. It was T's dad, and he said:
"Hi, it's T's dad. Do you know what happened to T/P? ..Cause the guys seem to be in some sort of trouble."
I told him that I never saw T or P at school today, nor anywhere else. A bunch of people didn't come to school today because it was very cold, but I knew that T and P probably wouldn't avoid school just because of that. So then, he asked me:
"Oh, well do you know Irf's number?"
"Irf" is a friend/aquaintance of T's and P's. He tends to get in beefs with people often, and I'm not sure if he's exactly involved with gangs or not, but he's a strange fellow, and tends to threaten people a lot if he gets in any sort of heated problem with them. He also carries around a large knife. Anyway, I told T's dad that I don't know Irf very well, even though I've chilled with him on several occasions. Then T's dad told me thanks, and hung up..
..for a while, I didn't think much of it. I was thinkin that maybe they got re-arrested, but there is no reason for T to get arrested anymore; all he does is attend court every once in a while. Then I thought of what I always feared the most - beefs, or even worse, GANG-RELATED beefs. I'm now mad paranoid that I might somehow get involved with this simply because I associate with them, and I feel scared to go to school already. My girlfriend is gonna freak out at me, and I'm NEVER gonna tell my parents. I can't avoid school cause I'll get kicked out, but I really am startin to fear for my own ass now. I don't know what to do, please help.
