The next song vibrates through the speakers with a similar beat beginning to play.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[RICH:]
Freshman year
I didn't have a girlfriend or a clue
I was a loser just like you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rich's head starts to spin at the thought of the terrible things he did while the Squip was in control. Alex noticed Rich's tension and looked at Jake, whom he assumed was Rich's best friend. Alex was now aware that Jake was already on the case. "Hey bud, you good?" Rich only nods and leans into Jake's shoulder.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Good times would only
Soar by
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
I was
Hopeless, hopeless
I was
Helpless, helpless
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HELPLESS! LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND THE SKYS THE LIMIT.
"Shut up!" Chandler yelled. No, you.  Chandler was taken aback but was quite anyways.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Every time I'd walk the hallway
I would trip
I was
Stagnant and idle
I was
So suicidal
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Rich leans deeper into Jake's shoulder as a few people, including MacNamara, Alex, and Erix look at Rich with sympathetic eyes. Jake wraps his hand around Rich in a protective manner, pulling him closer to him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And then
Then, then
Then, then
Then, then
Then, then
Then, then
Then, then I got a Squip

[JEREMY:]
You got quick?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"How do you mistake Squip for Quick, Idiot." The Squip spat causing the BMC crew to flinch.
Oh, shush Squip!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
[RICH:]
Not quick
Squip

[JEREMY:]
I've just never heard of it before

[RICH:]
Yeah, that's the point!
This is some top-secret, can't-even-look-it-up-on-the-internet shit

It's from Japan
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Holy crap that was a tone shift!" Mulligan exclaimed.
"I was just about to say the same thing!" Martha gasped.

It's a gray, 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

[JEREMY:]
So...
It's like...
Drugs?

[RICH:]
It's better than drugs, Jeremy

It's from Japan
It's a gray, 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
It tells you what to do
It's preprogrammed
It's amazing
Speaks to you directly
You behave as
It's appraising
Helps you act correctly

[RICH & ENSEMBLE:]
Helps you to be cool
It helps you rule
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"The Squip sounds fine to me. I mean it helps you to be cool." Jefferson says causing multiple people to gasp. Jake covers Rich's ears and exclaimed, "First off NEVER say the S word and second, you have no clue how evil that little f*cker is!" "language!" Washington says as the squip makes a snarky retort about not being small.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[RICH:]
Picture this:
Nobody cares if you are late
'Cause even teachers think you're great
Your weekend's just a full-on slate of blowout benders
Of teenage rockstar splendor
Right now you're
Helpless, helpless
You are
Almost hopeless
On the school's social map you're just a blip
But if you
Take my advice and if you pay the listed price
Well, then you go from sad to interesting
To hip - Your whole life will flip!

[RICH & ENSEMBLE:]
When you buy a Squip!

[RICH:]
Hey, yeah, a Squip!
Oh, a Squip
Hey, yeah!
No longer a drip when you got in your grip
A Squip
A Squip
A Squip...

Most of the BMC kids and a few others had mixed emotions on that song but otherwise, there was a mediocre amount of applause. Not wanting to wait any longer Christien and Martha continue to play the music.
