"Sup?" I said, letting go of his arm and sinking back into the tub
"Michael? I didn't know you were invited to this party." He looked surprised. Really? Not even a "hey, sorry for ditching you."
"I wasn't. Which is why I'm wearing... this clever disguise!" I remarked sarcastically, rolling my eyes and gesturing to the mess of tin cans I was wearing.
Jeremy just stared at me like I was crazy.
"You're speechless. Squip got your tongue?" I sassed, getting more and more upset.
"It's... off." He said, almost apologetically, but not quite.
"That would explain why you're talking to me. I've been thinking about this moment." I got out of the tub and slipped off the 'clever disguise'.
"What would I say to you? I had this really pissed off monologue, an epic journey through twelve years of friendship..." I started to pace, picking at my sleeve.
"What?" I noticed he was staring at me with a weird smile on his face and all I wanted to do that that moment was run into his arms and cry. But I didn't.
"It's just really good to see you, man." He sighed, giving me a half heated smile and running a hand through his chestnut brown hair.
"It won't be. Once you hear what I found out." I said, darkening the mood.
"Found out?"
"About..." I tapped my head.
"How? There's nothing on the Internet..."
"Which is weird, right? I mean, what's not on the Internet?" I laughed a quiet maniac laugh, stopping my pacing in front of Jeremy.
"So I started asking around. Finally, this guy I play Warcraft with told me his brother went from a straight-D student to a freshman at Harvard.
You know where he is now?"
"Really happy and successful?" Jeremy guessed.
"He's in a mental hospital. Totally lost it." I sighed, exasperated.
"I don't see what that has to do with-" I cut him off.
"Think, man! We're talking an insanely powerful supercomputer. You really think its primary function is to get you laid?" I paced again, running a hand through my H/L H/C hair.
"Who made them? How did they end up in a high school? In New Jersey? Of all possible applications for such mind-blowingly advanced technology, you ever wonder what it's doing inside YOU?"
"And I thought Chloe was jealous.." he rolled his eyes.
"I'm honestly asking!" I yelled. Couldn't he understand why I'm doing this?
"Really? Because I think you're pissed I have one and you don't!" He snapped, annoyed now.
"Come on-" I started.
"Maybe I got lucky, is that so weird?" He shouted, "With my history, I'd say the universe owed me one." He was angry now.
"And I don't know about your brother's friend's whatever, but if you're telling me his Squip made
him crazy —"
"His Squip didn't make him crazy." I stated in a quiet tone.
"Well there you go, then —"
"He went crazy trying to get it out!" I yelled, tears threatening to spill.
"Then I've got nothing to worry about. Why would I want that?" He wrapped up our conversation.
"Come on, man, move it." He sighed, obviously annoyed at me.
"Or you'll what?" I challenged.
"Get out of my way." He wasn't done. I could tell.
"Loser."
That was all it took. He shoved past me and there was a minute of silence.
"I am hanging in a bathroom..."
