Connected [ Squip x Unisex! Reader]

1. What's a Squip?

Like every other normal day of the week, you had been walking through your school's hallways with your friends, Michael and Jeremy. You walked in silence watching the other kids bustling the hallways, trying to stick with your friends and not get left behind in the crowd. 

You suddenly feel a hand grip your wrist, and the next moment you and Jeremy are being dragged into the boy's restroom.

It was dirty as if the bathroom hadn't been cleaned in weeks. there was toilet paper and piss on the floor. You look away in disgust, you had refused to use the school restrooms your whole high school career due to this.

"Hey losers!" The shorter boy who had dragged you and your friend says, smirking.

"Oh," you sigh. "It's just you, Rich." You recognize the male immediately.

You and Rich had been friends freshman year when he had still been considered a "loser." But all of a sudden he stopped coming over to play video games with you and you started seeing him hanging out with the "popular people." You assumed he thought he was too good to be friends with you now and left it at that.

"You know him?" Jeremy speaks up.

You chuckle a little, "Yeah I use to be friends with him back in freshman year before he ditched me to be cool."

"I didn't even know he went here freshman year..." Your friend trails off, thinking to himself.

"Freshman year... I didn't have a girlfriend or a clue. I was a loser, just like you two. Good times would only... Soar by!" Rich begins monologuing. "I was gross! As every female would attest. My sexting was a futile quest. My little penis was depressed, he was so lonely... Poor guy!"

You stood next to Jeremy, both of you trying not to burst into laughter.

"Every time I'd walk the hallway I would trip! I was stagnant and I know I was, so suicidal! And then... Then, then... Then, then... I got a Squip!"

"...You got quick?" Jeremy questioned, puzzled by what Rich just said.

"Not quick! Squip! It's from Japan... It's a grey, oblong pill... Quantum nanotechnology CPU! The quantum computer in the pill will travel through your blood until it implants in your brain and it tells you what to do!"

You were thinking to yourself... What the hell is he going on about? You feel like he's gone insane. You honestly wanted out of the bathroom, as you were concerned for your safety. But your thoughts were interrupted when Jeremy spoke up.

"So... It's like... Drugs?"

Rich laughs in response to his question. "Haha... It's better than drugs, Jeremy! It's from Japan! It's preprogrammed... It's amazing... Speaks to you directly... Helps you to be cool!"

"Are you sure it's like... Safe...? And wouldn't that be super expensive?" You question him.

"Of course it's safe! And it's only five hundred... Each!"

"One thousand dollars?! Are you kidding me?!" Jeremy's voice raised, cracking a bit.

"You really think we have a thousand dollars just lying around?" You say.

"Okay, okay, I'll give you guys a discount! Three hundred each?"

"That's a bit more reasonable," Jeremy says.

"Yeah... Sure... We can meet back here tomorrow with the money?" You ask Rich.

"Yeah. Right here. Same time." Rich says.

You and Jeremy walk out of the bathroom and meet back up with Michael.

"What did he want?" Michael asks you two.

"He offered us a drug that will 'make us cooler.' Costs 300 dollars each..." You say.

"He's totally scamming you guys," Michael says.

"But what if he's not! We could be popular... Maybe... Christine will notice me..." Jeremy exclaims.

And with that, the three of you walk home together, talking amongst yourselves of the possibility of having a 'Squip!'
