(Y/n) P.o.V:

Time passed and it's a week before Halloween. Since I've got friends with Jake everyone's trying to be my friend. It's strange, how people can change your social status.

Everyone's excited and looking forward for Jake's upcoming halloweenparty. I am too.

Rich asked me if I would go with him. Of course I said yes but now I am a bit unsure. Not that I don't like Rich anymore. But Jake and I've noticed that he started acting weird. He sat alone more often and doesn't look healthy. He has dark circles under his eyes and falls asleep in class.

A few days ago I tried to talk to him:

FLASHBACK:

"Rich.. come on wake up!", I said and started shaking him. He jumped and his head shot in the air. "I- I'm awake!", he replied and rubbed his eyes.

"You fell asleep in Maths. Again.

How much have you slept today?", I asked suspicious. "One or two hours?", he said but it sounder more like a question. "What? Why?", I asked slightly shocked. That's the third time this week he slept that few.

"Long story...", he mumbled and took his bagpack. We left class and met up with Jake.

FLASHBACK END

Since then we didn't talk about it much but I'm crazy worried about him. "Hey Jake!", I whispered and gave him a small piece of paper on which I had written:

We have to talk to Rich...

He opened it, read it and took a pen. He wrote on the paper and gave it to me. Our teacher didn't notice.

I opened it and read:

I know. How about we talk to him after school?

I looked at Jake and nodded. Then I continued listening to the teacher.

- Time Squip -

Jake informed Rich to meet up at Jake's place. Jake and I were sitting in his room waiting for Rich. Suddenly the door opened and a dozy Richard Goranski entered.

He fell on the bed and mumbled, "What's up?"

"We wanted to talk to you.", Jake said. "About?", Rich asked. "You... and your weird behaviour. Rich.. why are you always that tired? You're acting shady ever since... since.. gosh I don't know!", I explained.

Rich sat up and looked kind of angry. "You both don't know what's going on in my life right now. So don't act like you would care!", he spatted out.

Ouch.

"But we do care about you! Tell us what's wrong!", I begged. Jake interfered, "Come on dude. I don't know what you're problem is now or if you're having your period right now but-"

"Shut up Dillinger!", Rich shouted. I jumped. Then I stood up walked towards Rich until I came to a stand right infront of his face.

I looked into his eyes and they kind of glew neon blue. They looked like they were filled with electricity. This isn't my Rich. 

Those aren't his ocean-eyes.
I think I know what's wrong.

His Squip.

He probably controlled him right now. Rich squinted his eyes and he said, "I don't need you! See ya at the halloween party, loser!"

He exited the room and Jake sighed confused. "What was that?", he asked. I sat down and explained, "It's his Squip. I think it kind of controlles him."

"We have to stop it!"
