The adventures of Squip Squad. (Old, Being Rewritten)

LETS GO TO JAPAN!

It was the worst week of the year; final exam week. There was high-stress before summer break, and everyone is panicking. Jeremy and Michael are running to the theater which has become the place where squad meets up during lunch hour. Christine working like a maniac, Jenna is packing up her school bag, Rich and Jake are on the floor throwing a softball back and forth, Madeline, Chloe, and Brooke were all working on late assignments. as per usual, Dustin is nowhere to be seen. The whole squad fell into a comfortable rhythm. lunch was the only thing that never changed, which they needed. the events of the play have slowly been forgotten

"I am not prepared for finals, "Jeremy sighed as he walked into the theater. He set his bag off to the side and went to go help Christine finish her school work, completely ignoring his own.

"NONE OF US ARE, JEREMY!" Jake shouts, he is probably comforting rich after his last exam in PE. Brooke playfully rolled her eyes at Jake's antics not taking her eyes from the study guide in front of her.

"Where's Dustin, I haven't seen him all day" she looked up from her chemistry study guide to the others.

"Chill, Brooke, "Michael says sliding off his headphones smirking slightly at his joke, which of course got him some annoyed looks

"How did you hear that while wearing headphones" she snapped slightly annoyed but mostly confused. "What magic do you possess?" Michael didn't have time to answer as Dustin kicked open the theater door carrying slushies for the whole group. he handed out the slushies to everyone smiling the whole time.

"Cherry for Michael, blue raspberry for Jeremy." he continued to list off flavors till everyone had their respective slushy. Smiling the whole time, he shoved Madeline's papers out of the way not saying a word.

"DUSTIN, WHAT THE HELL MAN!" shouts Madeline, jumping up to grab the collar of his shirt. Creepily he doesn't respond. What he did do was continues to smile as he shoves a flier in her face. now they were both smiling. By now everyone was watching in confused silence half expecting them to kiss right their. (only half since Madeline was gay.) Rich got tired of the silence.

"What ith it?" he asked quietly. The straw of his slushy still in his mouth

"You guys remember that trip we all signed up for?" Madeline smiled looking to the others

"The trip to Japan," Chloe asked leaning back propped up on both hands. "wasn't that cancelled?"

"Guess what's back on," Dustin said trying his hardest to not sound excited

"Your kidding!"Rich smiled hoping up to see the flier. He snatched it from her hands and read it to the group. Everyone was smiling and excitedly chatting about the trip they signed up for at the start of the year. "Dear thtudentth," Rich began looking up for a second. "we have great newth for every thtudent who thigned up for the thchool trip to Japan. Thankth to new funding this trip is back on. If you thigned up pleathe contact the office, yadda yad-" he cut himself off as the rest was information. "Guyth, we are going TO JAPAN!!"

The events leading up to departure were not exciting. Everyone finished their exams, surprisingly with only two low marks in the squad. Finally, it was time to leave.

Mr, Heere gave Jeremy a hug before letting him go to the bus that would take them to the airport. Michael's moms are giving him a goodbye kiss, Christine's parents gave her a kiss on the head, Rich's dad is nowhere to be seen, Jake's parents are not there either. Both Rich and Jake hung around the back comforting each other. Madeline's parents are at home, however, they video called telling their goodbyes, Dustin is giving his science experiments a goodbye.

They all hopped on the bus throwing all their luggage on empty seats waiting to arrive at the airport, for the most part, it was excited chatter about everything they would do and the chaperones telling everyone the rules they have heard time and time again.When they got there they did the usual things like print tickets, and check luggage.The only event of note was waiting for the TSA to be done frisking their chaperone, which of course everyone was joking about. made it to the plane with time to spare.Everyone sat at the gate: Jenna on her phone, Christine looking out the window at the plane, Michael talking to Rich and Jake, Madeline reading something, Chloe and Brooke also talking to each other, and Dustin probably out looking for food.

"How the hell did he escape with all these teachers watching?" Jeremy said thinking out loud standing slightly off to the side. He had too much energy to sit down, but his brain was pounding against his skull. His headache wouldn't let up and has been on and off for weeks.He groaned as he searched through his backpack for painkillers.He saw a note sitting in his bag.

'Had to take those pills out, who knows what security would do if they found them, sorry, Dad'

"Great" Jeremy groaned resting his head in his hands. Jeremy practically jumped when he felt a tap on his shoulder, but his headache eased up, almost left entirely.

"Oh, sorry," the voice said "didn't mean to scare you, but are you Jeremy Heere by any chance"

" yeah wh-" he cut himself off as he saw who was talking to him "SQUIP" he shouted his eyes widening in panic.Quickly grabbing his backpack, he tried to back away. At the mention of the Squip, everyone dropped what they were doing looking over to Jeremy. Everyone had their eyes on him, and someone else. they all looked to each other in panic.Michael decided to ask what everyone was all thinking.

"You see it too, right?"
