So, this is a weird one. This is the same storyline of the musical "Be More Chill" with a few exceptions. I changed the gender identity and sexuality of some of the characters, as well as some ethnicities because that is how I envisioned them while listening to the soundtrack. And obviously, Jeremy and Mikey get together in the end because they had way more chemistry and why else would you be here? If this isn't your style, I made the same fanfiction but had the characters stay the same as in canon. (Except for Jeremy and Michael getting together because why else would you be here?) That is the other book in this series. (Boyf Riends, it's on my profile) So, this is really just for fun, enjoy if you want! I also hope that you enjoy how I turned musical numbers into paragraphs. Jeremy Heere is a junior in high school, and all he wants is to survive. After a peer tells him about a pill he can take to help him, Jeremy takes it and it goes downhill from there. Mikey Mell is a junior in high school, and all she wants is to be happy. After Jeremy gets into drugs, Mikey has to decide if she will follow her friend and try to save him from himself, or if she will continue to be stuck in this cycle of terrible that is her life.
