We're (NOT) the Cool Kids

What does it mean to be a cool kid? What is it like to have a group of friends who genuinely care for you? Well Jenna Rolan is certain that this Squip squad isn't how a group of friends works. It shouldn't be so hard to speak her mind. She shouldn't need to feel left out. She shouldn't feel like she's only here because of the Squicident!

Michael Mell was not sure how this group came to be. Or why it was even formed. All he does know is that he doesn't really fit in. He finds it hard to speak with any of the members. He hardly speaks to Jeremy since the Squip problem. Honestly, Michael isn't even sure whether he and Jere are friends now. He just seems to be disconnected from everyone. Feeling that he's only apart of their squad out of pity then of them actually wanting him here. It doesn't help that even with his "best friend" he can't rid himself of this sense of lonesome.

Rich Goranski wouldn't for the life of him trade his friends for anything, but sometimes it just feels like no one understands him. Sometimes they treat him like a fragile piece of glass, while other times they seem to ruthlessly point out his mistakes. He knows they don't mean anything by it, but he can't bring himself to grown numb to it. He's getting tired of acting like he hasn't noticed their attitude towards him. Getting tired of smiling when all he really wants is to sob his heart out. Is this really what friendship should be?

The trio soon forming their own group of friends to overcome the negatives that the Squip squad has caused. But, can they truly let go of the tether anchoring them to the Squip Squad? And will the others notice the pain they've been unknowingly causing their friends?
