~Watching From a Distance: Squip x reader x Jeremy~

~Chapter 3: Squip makes an entrance!~

This pill could help me win y/n over. 

Or it could be a complete scam. 

Well, no going back now.

I took a swig of the Mt. Dew, gulping the pill down with the sugary liquid.

"Well, how do ya' feel?" Michael asked me. 

"Like...like a chump!" I cried. 

"What? Say something cool or charming."

"I think I spent all my Bar Mitzvah money on a wintergreen tic-tac," I grumbled. We both sighed.

"Well, I'm going to go to Spencer's Gifts," Michael said while getting up from his seat.

"Wait, why?" I asked him sadly. 

"Well, they have a case of Crystal Pepsi! It's like regular Pepsi, but clear!" He exclaimed. I'm glad someone is happy. 

I fiddled with the cap of my Mt. Dew as Michael skipped away. I knew this had to be a scam! Of course Rich is nothing but a piece of popular shi—

"You ready for Chipotle?" a familiar, annoying voice asked someone. 

"You know it," an adorable female's voice sang out. 

I turned to see Rich and y/n, holding hands, 10 feet away from me. Apparently, they haven't seen me yet. I remember what Michael told me about just trying to ask y/n out. Maybe it was time to make a move... 

"Trust me, their tacos are the BEST—"

"Oh, hey, y/n and...Rich...it's, um, funny running into you two here!" I awkwardly exclaimed, running up to them. 

Y/n's beautiful e/s eyes happily twinkled as she exclaimed, "heyo, Jere! Did you take care of what you needed to do after school?" 

"Oh, um, yeah!" I exclaimed, my face heating up. Why am I blushing now? And why was it getting...weirdly hot in there?

"Well, come on y/n, let's get going to Chipotle's," Rich said suspiciously, glaring at me.

"Uhm, actually, I need to tell you something y/n," I mumbled out. Okay, I'm not only blushing from y/n just being her lovable, dorky self, but my body felt ON FIRE. 

"Can it wait," Rich spat. 

"NO! Uhm, y/n, I really lo—"

"Target female: inaccessible," a strangle male voice said.

All of the sudden, a large wave of pain washed over me as I collapsed to the ground. "Agh, what the heck—"

"Calibration is process, please excuse some mild discomfort," it bluntly said.

I collapsed to my knees in pain, struggling to breathe. 

"Jeremy?" Y/n cried, rushing over to me. She knelt down and hugged me, like she does when I have a panic attack. She probably thought it was one. 

"Dude, the freak's freaking out!" Someone yelled. 

The pain intensified. "Mild?" I squeaked out.

"Calibration complete: access procedure initiated."

I shrieked as the pain continued to course through my body. All of the sudden, the horrible pain stopped. 

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, I'm fine it's just—"

"Discomfort levels may increase." 

I screamed as I writhed around on the floor. Y/n was confused as she tried to calm me, but the electric currents pumped through my body, blocking out y/n's beautiful voice. All of the sudden, the electric pain slowly stopped as the robotic male voice spoke out again.

"Accessing neural memory, accessing muscle memory, access procedure complete. Jeremy Heere," I looked up from the ground to see blue pixels forming a guy around my age. "Welcome to you super quantum unit intel processor, your Squip." 

Hey there y'all! I was gonna make this chapter longer, but I wanted the next chapter to introduce Squippy a bit more. I just want to get this book right so y'all can half-way enjoy it, so the next chapter may not come out for a few days. But worry not! I'm busy right now, but I'll be able to write more soon enough. Aight, y'all have a good day/night❤️🦙❤️
