Michael's POV

It's been two years since the squipcident.

Two years.

Two years without my player 2- if I can call him that anymore. Two years of almost nothing. Two years of feeling nothing. Two years of being numb.

Yeah, you might be thinking "what happened Michael? I thought you saved the day and got your friend back and everything was okay!"

Hah. Hah. Funny joke. I like that y'all want a happy ending for me, though, it's greatly appreciated. But that's not how life works. The only people who get happy endings are Disney princesses, and I do really I look like a Rapunsel to you? (A/N: tangled is a gr8 movie and if you dont agree, I respect your wrong opinion)

Nah. What happened after the squipcident was Jeremy stayed popular. Obviously, now all the popular kids had a reason to bond with him. They all had a SQUIP at one point, even if it was just for a couple minutes. So Jeremy stayed with the popular kids.

Of course, for the first couple of weeks he also stayed around with me. I'm pretty sure that was just to help his "reason that we aren't friends anymore" of: we just drifted apart. To that I call bullshit. Bitch, one day you were all friendly with me, asking if I wanted to come over to play AOTD, the next you were completely ignoring me.

Anyways, after about a month he cut me off completely. He blocked me on everything, including in real life. And something that I could never see him doing.

He started to become my bully.

Insane, right? My best friend of 12 years started to bully me.

At first it was little things. The glare, the insult, etc. Then it started getting physical. And at first (with the physical stuff) it was the occasional shove in the hallway, I even at first forced myself to believe he was being playful. He wasn't. It got extreme after a couple of weeks, and I started to question if he got the SQUIP back. But he didn't.

How I know that, you may ask. Rich. Sure, he was still popular, and sure he had a SQUIP and was pretty much the cause of the problem, because he's the one who brought the whole idea of a SQUIP to the school, but he was different from the rest of them.

Rich, he didn't really care much about popularity anymore. He did stay with the group, only because of his gay ass crush on Jake (which last time I checked, right after we graduated, they got married), not because of popularity. He also noticed how everyone who had a SQUIP acted like they were so special because they had something that could've destroyed human civilization. Not because they actually had something they all collectively liked, or bonded over with emotionally. Rich changed, unlike the rest of them (minus Jeremy, but he changed for the worse).

Getting back on point, Rich was the closest thing I had to talking to Jeremy. My little spy. And he was okay with it. And Jeremy, for sure, did not get the SQUIP reactivated.

So my bes- ex-best friend was bullying me for no apparent reason, and without the over-exaggerated software update telling him to do so.
