Jeremy gulped as he stared at the glass doors to the library. Michael had told him to meet him there to make amends after the SQUIP incident but Jeremy was as nervous as somebody who ruined a longtime friendship just so he could lose his v card to a girl. Jeremy straightened up and walked inside.

The library was quaint and tidy. Jeremy walked around trying to find the boy with headphones. It took a while, but finally, he found Michael in the music section, headphones in, music blaring. A couple of teenagers near him glared as his music was causing a distraction. Jeremy wiped his sweaty palms on his jeans and walked over to him.

"Hey Michael," he greeted as he tapped Michael on the shoulder. Michael turned around, his smile bright. "Jeremy my buddy!" he exclaimed happily as he patted Jeremy on the arm. Jeremy gaped in shock as Michael led him to a table, dancing the whole way there. The two sat down.

Michael stopped his music and took off his headphones. Jeremy fidgeted. "Hey, Michael," Jeremy greeted once more. Michael smiled. "Hey Jer," he greeted. Michael realized how nervous Jeremy seemed. "How is life after the SQUIP incident?" he asked. Jeremy looked down. "Awful," he replied. "Christine will barely talk to me. Brooke looks at me like I'm a disgusting cockroach. Rich hates me. And Jake doesn't talk anymore."

A flash of sympathy showed on Michael's face. "Dude," he muttered. Jeremy looked away from his gaze. "And you're just about the only person that'll talk to me," he said. Michael nodded as if understanding what his friend was saying. "Guess you're a loser again," he said. Jeremy showed a hint of a smile but didn't even bother to look up. "I'm sorry," he mumbled. Michael stood up and walked over to his buddy. He slapped him on the back.

"Don't worry about it!" he exclaimed. "The SQUIP made you do all of those things anyway so…" his voice trailed off. He remembered what happened in the bathroom. Jeremy called him a loser when the SQUIP wasn't controlling him. Jeremy felt the tension and shrouded. "That time was my fault," he admitted. "I wasn't thinking and I just wanted to be with Christine."

He stood up and stared at his best friend of 12 years dead in the eyes. "I didn't mean what I said." Michael smiled. "I know you didn't," he replied. Jeremy smiled and blushed. Did someone turn up the heat? But he knew the answer. It was the feeling in his heart. He loved Michael.

Michael looked at him and smiled. "Jeremy," he began, "I have something to say." Jeremy nodded and replied, "Me too." the two teens looked around and saw nobody was around. Michael made the first move and planted his lips upon Jeremy's. Jeremy gasped in shock but proceded to grab Michael and pull him closer. It was a sloppy make out session but Michael and Jeremy enjoyed every second of it.

When they pulled apart, Michael grabbed Jeremy's face. "No more shit about the SQUIPS okay?" he said. Jeremy nodded. Michael leaned into Jeremy's ear. "I think I love you," he whispered. Jeremy gulped and nodded. "I think I love you as well," he replied.
