Jeremy starts to talk to Christine some more but she's going out with Jake now. He considers them friends. She started to talk about the Halloween Dance one day and Jeremy decided to go. He wore a scary mask that he bought from a Halloween store. At the dance, one of his tormentors, Rich, comes up to him and gives him a drink. He's spiked it with scotch but Jeremy doesn't refuse. Rich starts telling Jeremy how he only got cool by taking something called a "squip". He explains it as a small computer that's eaten like a pill. It then travels to your brain and helps you accomplish anything you want. He says they cost $600 and Jeremy is skeptical but he goes to the bowling ally where Rich says he can get one. Once there, he finds the guy who says his cousin may have one but it will definitely cost $600 dollars. He also says to check out eBay. Jeremy searches "Squip" and there is a beanie-baby named squip that keeps popping up. He realizes beanie-babies go for over hundreds of dollars if they're collectibles. His dad tells him his Aunt Linda has "thousands of those things" so Jeremy decides to pay her a visit. He steals a couple beanies after cleaning her gutter and sells them for over $600. He goes to the guy who has the squips, buys one, and swallows it down. This ends Part 1.I'm really excited to see what will happen after he takes the squip.
