Y/N's P.O.V

I learned to get all the way from the bottom to the top in a matter of days. Just by doing some little things. I didn't know it was that easy! The thing is, Michael and Chloe have been getting...Friendly. AND I DON'T LIKE IT!

Chloe is still above me every rank though...Jake has been fiddling with Christine so he's out of the question for me to date. This is really keeping me from rising any further. How do I know all of this? Squip has been all over the place. Ramming his thoughts into my mind like it was all he could do.

He suggested Rich and I said: "No." 

It's not that I don't like the guy. He's just been...Acting crazy. 

"Y/N?" I heard as I looked up at Jenna. "Yes?" I answered as I looked at her. "Are you paying attention?" She said as she referred to Brook having a mental break down. "Why is she crying?" I asked as I looked at Chloe. "Jeremy dumped her." Chloe said as if it was obvious.  Both me and Squip's ears perked up. 

"Really?" Squip and I said at the same time. 

"He said I wasn't enough!" Brook cried out as she sobbed all over the table. "Girl." Chloe said as she grabbed Brook's face and smacked her. "Get yourself together." Chloe stated as Brook rubbed her eyes. 

"Who's going to be my date for the Halloween part now!"  Brook complained as I shrugged. 

I saw Squip smirk in the corner of my eye and I tried to keep is straight face. 'What the f*ck are you plotting?' I thought as he scoffed. "Obviously, you're going to that Halloween party." He chuckled as I frowned. 'My dude, I don't have anybody to go with, remember? Michael is going with Chloe and Jake is with Christine and-Oh...OH! OH NO!' I thought as my eyes widened. 

"I'll go with you." Squip made me say as I covered my mouth. "You will?" Brook asked as she looked up. "Yeah! I'll pick you up around 6." Squip made me say as she nodded. "You're the best!" She said as she hugged me. 

"Excuse me." I smiled as I parted from Brook and rushed to the toilets. As soon as I got in the toilet stall and made sure I was alone I yelled: 

"What the F*CK?!" 

"Relax." Squip reassured me. "I might be not so straight but I'm not going with Brook!" I protested. "Think about it! The first lesbian couple! You'll say you're Bi and get above Chloe, THEN you'll dump Michael and get Brook-"

"No! I refuse to do that!" I puffed with my arms folded. "Y/N you've risen so high." He told me as he got out a chart to show me that I was on number 6 of the most popular people in school. "You can go higher!" He promised me as I shook my head no. 

"I quit! I'll die alone then! You know what? I'll just find a way to get rid of you." I smirked as his expression darkened. "You were always quite the loser, Y/N." He hissed as I looked away. "Then I invaded." He chuckled. "And you upgraded." He said as he made me look in the mirror to see all my new clothes, hair style, et certera. 

"...Go the f*ck away and leave me alone!" I hissed as he sighed. Then something lightened his expression yet again. "Y/N." He called as I looked at him without turning my head. 

"Have you ever wondered what would happen if you take another pill?" 

"I'm not taking another pill." I sternly said. "Even if I would want to, I couldn't. I don't have another pill." I shrugged as he smiled. "Follow me." He told me as I groaned but followed. He lead me through the halls until he stopped me right in front of a locker.

"Ta-da!" He sang as he did his jazz hands. "I see...Absolutely nothing." I said in a monotone manner. "The locker." Squip hissed as I felt a shock go through my spine. It hurt like hell! "F*ck." I muttered. How could I forget how bad that was.

"I can't open it-"

The locker blew open with an electric shock.

"Oh! Wouldn't you know. An open locker." I said sarcastically as I narrowed my eyes at Squip. I opened the locker door a bit wider and looked inside. There, I saw a Nike shoe box. I took it out and opened it. 

"...No f*cking way." I scoffed as I looked at the 1000 of 1000 grey pills. "They aren't-"

"They most certainly are. I know you couldn't see them when you got force fed the pill. But these are the kind of pill you took in." He explained as I looked at the pills. "What am I supposed to...To do?" I asked in great confusion. 

"If you don't want to take a second pill, fine. But maybe, if you just, give a pill to everyone in the school! You won't have to do anything like date Brook to get to Michael." He encouraged me as he put his hand on my back. 

"You can just, date Michael and be happy. Isn't that what you want?" He asked as I looked at the pills yet again. "...I don't-"

"You'll be happy! I can just, disappear! No more popular! We'll all be equal!" He continued as he started to convince me. "..." I parted my lips to say something but I didn't. 

"Y/N!" I heard from behind me making me close the box and look behind me. It was Jenna. "Jenna! Aren't you supposed to be in class right now?" I asked very nervous. "I could ask you the same question." She stated with her hands on her hip.

"Erm-"

"You know, I always make everyone's business my business. But does anyone want to know mine?" She asked with a bitter smile. "So sad. But you can help her." Squip whispered as I looked at the box and only took out 1. 

"...Here, take it with mountain dew." I told her as she took the pill. "Drugs?" She asked me. "Nooooo," Squip nodded his head. "-oooyes. Yes it is." I stated. "Whatever." She shrugged as she took it in with mountain dew that she conveniently carried around-I mean who does that?

2 seconds passed before her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she yelled out in pain. "Jenna!" I yelled as I came to aid her before she pushed me away. Her yell in pain, turned into a very high and very classy rock note. 

"...What the f*ck..." I mumbled as she smiled at me. Yellow stripes were going down her face and she walked away. "Jenna-" I called before Squip stopped me by placing his hand on my shoulder. This freaked me out because aren't Squips supposed to...I don't know, not be able to touch anything? 

'What did I give her?' I asked myself as I heard him chuckle. 

"Something that only makes me more powerful." He chuckled. "What?" I asked as he smirked. "Remember the glitch that I had?" He asked me as I nodded. "Well, I was a glitch. You know why that is?" He asked as I shook my head no. "Because my design was split into ten thousand little pills instead of 1. These pills contain the rest of me. So we need to spread more pills and then I'll be full of power." He smirked. 

"And what makes you think that I'll cooperate with your plan, dumb a$$?" I stated as I backed away from him. 

 He smirked wider and got down to my level. "Ey, ey, ey! Breath distance! If I can feel your breath on my face, I'll-BACK UP!" I yelled as he got closer to me. 

"You are invading my personal space mate! Get away-" 

I couldn't even state what I wanted to state before he put his lips on mine. I grabbed my fist and began to hit him on his head which I could now touch too. Suddenly I felt something lemony go down my throat. A hint of mint was present too. 

...

HOLD ON A SECOND!

I tried to spit it out but it was too late, I felt an oblong pill go down my throat. 

This is seriously the second time someone is doing this to me and I don't like it. 

I blacked out after he parted and slid down the lockers onto the floor.
