michael mell thought he disliked- no, hated- rich goranski. for most junior year, rich had bullied michael and his best friend jeremy heere. he'd also given jeremy the idea to get a squip- a super quantum unit intel processor. the squip took jeremy away from michael, leaving him alone.
but now that the squip epidemic is over, rich had been getting nicer to jeremy and michael. now it's their senior year and jake, jeremy, rich, and michael are all close friends. jake and jeremy had started dating, leaving rich and michael alone more often.
to michael, rich was only a friend, but what he didn't know is that rich thought of him as more.
The squip is finally gone. Rich is finally free. Now what? What does he do? How does he behave? Who is he? His insecurities are back. So is his stuttering and even worse he's lost all control of his feelings. Why do those feelings have to involve being madly in love with his best friend Jake?
