The Upgrade
(Y/n) P.o.V:
'What do you mean with "Upgrade"? Will I become a Cyborg?!', I thought and got nervous. The Squip laughed. "No. You just have to change yourself a bit...", he said. "O-Okay."
"Tonight you are going on a date with Rich. But it's important Michael knows it, alright. Even better: Everybody needs to know it.", he said. "I am not sure. Squip... why can't I be who I am?"
"Because nobody liked this (Y/n). You just.. have to trust me. I am a supercomputer.", he expounded. Ouch. That hurt. "So next quest. Find Michael and turn him on. But not too much. You have to play the unattainable. But first: classes. ", he said. I went into class and after a boring lesson of math I tried to find Michael. I found him. He sat alone in the Cafeteria, sadly starring over at something. I followed his gaze and it ended at Jeremy, who laughed and talked with Brooke. Poor Michael. I had noticed, that Jeremy ignored Michael since he got his Squip.
"It's called Optic Nerve Blocking. Jeremys Squip avoided Michael from his field of vision.", Squip told me. "Why would Jeremys Squip do this?", I asked myself. Squip replied, "He thinks Michael is a loser. Which he is. But Jeremys goal in life is to be popular and Michael is an obstacle. So Jeremys Squip drops Michael from Jeremys life."
Wow.. Rude. Maybe Squips aren't the solution.
"We are. But every Squip solves the problem in his own way. We just improve the lifes of our hosts.", he said. Suddenly Michael turned in my direction. He didn't see me. "Be confident. Walk towards him but don't forget hip swing.", the Squip instructed. I inhaled and began walking.
"Hey Michael.", I said. He looked confused and rubbed his eyes. "(Y/n)...?", he asked carefully. I laughed. "Yeah it's me.", I said. He gave me a weird smile. 'What's up with him?', I asked the Squip in my head. 'He is just upset because of Jeremy. Don't worry. Now tell him about your date.', Squip replied.
"Is that really you?", Michael asked. I nodded. "Live and in person.", I said. I sat down next to him and looked him in the eyes. 'Repeat after me: Do you like what you see', Squip said. I got nervous. Eyes shut and go for it. "Do you like what you see?", I asked and played with my hair.
He blushed and his eyes widened. "Uhm.. yeah.. pretty.. ah.. uhm.. yes.", he stuttered. I smiled. "But....", he began. But? "But that's not you. Where's the videogame loving girl, who blushed at every compliment. The girl with the cool sweaters and the ripped jeans and fucked up shoes?" I blinked and I was just confused. Why did he react like that? He doesn't like me. He will never like me.
"What.. W- What do you mean?", I asked with a cracking voice. I felt tears rise, but swallowed them down.
"I mean where is the clumsy, funny girl who didn't need make up or tight outfits to be beautiful. Where is the girl was who wasn't ashamed to be herself? Where is (Y/n)?", he said touching my hand. Suddenly I felt breathing besides my ear. Squip stood behind me.
"Can't you see (Y/n)? He doesn't apprechiate what you did for him. He is unthankful. He will never love you. Forget him. Think of all the people who love everything about you. He is just an obstacle. Rich will love you, for who you are. You are beautiful right now and Michael? He just wants to change you into something you aren't. He wants to change you into the ugly wallflower you were. But you do not want that right?", he whispered inside my ear.
He's right. Michael is not good for me. He is just an obstacle.
"Where is this girl I fell in...I mean.. I like so much..", Michael said. He nervously coughed. Desperately he sought an answer in my eyes. I rolled my eyes.
"You know what Michael? She's dead. Live with it k? Maybe see you later?", I asked as I stood up.
He swallowed. His eyes are widened. He bit his lip, trying to hold back the tears. He breathed heavily and looked very upset. "Where are you going?", he asked very quiet. "Just hanging out with Rich and then we go on a date! Wish me luck!", I said excited. Then I walked away.
Suddenly I stopped. I realized what I just did... How could I do this. I never wanted to say this. I-I just destroyed everything. Fuck.. I .. I am a horrible person... Michael.
"You did the right thing (Y/n)", Squip said. "I did not. I hurt him. How could I!", I said more to myself than to Squip. I wanted to go back and apologize but Squip took over the control over my body. 'What are you doing?! We had a deal. You gave me your promise, Squip!', I screamed inside my head. He appeared infront of me. His cold hand slightly brushed my cheek. His face was very close to mine. Then he gave me an evil smirk. He said:
"Well.. I lied."
