After a long day of school, all Michael wanted to do was to go to sleep.

"Remember, you're dropping off Jeremy, so he'll most likely be waiting for you at your locker," the SQUIP instructed as he watched Michael walked down the hallway, "And...there he is." The supercomputer gestured to Jeremy standing by Michael's locker.

Michael smiled automatically and ran to Jeremy. "Hey, Jere, ready to go?" The lanky boy turned around to see Michael, a smile on his face, "Sure, let's go!"

The boys walked to Michael's car whole Michael's heart thumped in his chest. "So what's the first step?" He asked the SQUIP without looking at it.

"I'll sync up with Christine's SQUIP next time we see Christine. So, most likely tomorrow."

Michael nodded his head. The SQUIP watched as the boys got into the car, before getting into the back. They drove in silence for a while.

"So, are you going to the party tonight?" Jeremy asked, breaking the silence.

"Party? What party?"

Jeremy chuckled softly, "The one I told you about last week, remember?"

"Oh shit yeah. I don't even think I'm invited."

"Yeah, you are, it's at Chloe's house at 7 pm."

"Then I'll be there." He said with a smile.

"Great!" Jeremy replied happily.

The SQUIP cleared its throat, "We're going to need to get you something better clothes than that to go to a party."

Michael fought the urge to rolls his eyes. "It's just a party with Jeremy's friends I'll be fine." The supercomputer narrowed its eyes slightly, "...Sure."

Michael stopped at a red light and turned to look at Jeremy. "God he's beautiful." He smiled softly. The SQUIP rolled its eyes, "You never stop telling me that, Michael."

"Well look at him! He's gorgeous. It's unfair that there are people like him then there are idiots like me." He suppressed a chuckle.

"Jesus, you're definitely in love."

"Oh shut up." He rolled his eyes. "Here are you okay? You seem out of it."

"Who, me?" Jeremy asked, looking over at Michael with a smile, "I'm fine!"

"You sure?" The light turned green and Michael drove off. Jeremy nodded in reply, smiling softly, "I'm very sure."

"Okay." Michael smiled. "Wanna hang out at mine or do you want me to drop you off at home?"

"Well, I mean, if you don't want me to come over, then I'll go home."

"You idiot." He rolled his eyes. "Of course I want you over." Michael turned right towards his house. After a few minutes, he parked in his driveway. They got out of the car and walked to the door.

"Jeremy?" Michael said softly as he unlocked the door.

Jeremy looked over at him with concern on his face, "Yes? Is something wrong, Mikey?"

"I-" He opened the door and the boys walked in. "I think I'm in love." He closed the door and sat on the couch, avoiding eye contact with Jeremy.

"Wait, really?" Jeremy asked, looking at him with wide eyes.

"Michael!" the SQUIP groaned, facepalming, "What are you doing? You're going to ruin everything if you tell him!"

"Y-yeah." He continued ignoring the Squip. "And I know what to do! It's like, all I can ever think of his him!"

"That's adorable," Jeremy laughed, "Who's the lucky dude?"

"Michael, don't you dare," the SQUIP warned

Michael went pale. "T-that really doesn't matter!"

"Alright," Jeremy replied with a small pout, "Don't tell me then."

"Just." Michael sighed and rubbed his face. "Help me? And to make things worse, he likes somebody else!"

"SHIT I DIDN'T JUST SAY THAT! HE PROBABLY KNOWS!"

"You absolute idiot," the SQUIP muttered, rubbing its temple.

"So, I'm guessing it's someone like Rich or Jake?" Jeremy suggested, "Well, just be yourself."

"Lucky he's oblivious to the fact," the SQUIP added.

"That's horrible advice, Jere." He chuckled. "Just forget it. I mean, it's not like I have a chance! He's obviously in love. And it's not with me"

"I'm sure you do have a chance," Jeremy replied softly, leaning over and smiling at the other boy, "Just don't start a supercomputer apocalypse, okay? That was the worst idea I've ever had."

Michael chuckled. "And you still got the girl. It's just..." He sighed. "He's amazing. And... I really love him. " Michael got up. "It's whatever. I'm not the relationship type.

"Hey, don't give up just yet," Jeremy replied, "There's still a chance, trust me."

"Let's get ready," Michael said changing the subject.

"Alright!" he cheered, standing up as well

"Don't blow this." The SQUIP smiled and walked beside the boys."Just remember. Tonight, he's yours. Just trust me."

Michael nodded his head and they walked upstairs as his heart pounded in his chest.
