Jeremy was in the process of changing into something that would hide his new scars, and freaking out when he couldn't find anything.

"Jeremy check your PJ drawer, I assume Keira hasn't touched that yet. Rich will believe that you wear pajamas at home because most people do." Winston suggested and Jeremy quickly nodded, opening the drawer and spotting his Pac-Man pajamas that Michael had the matching pair to.

He quickly changed and looked at himself in the mirror. He did look like he'd been in bed all day...almost. he quickly messed up his hair and smiled. Now he looked like he'd been in bed all day.

An hour passed and there was a knock at the door.

"Jeremy did you invite a girl over!?" His dad yelled from downstairs and Jeremy smiled awkwardly as he made his way down the steps.

"No dad, I invited Rich over."

"That's the short one right?"

"Yes." Jeremy opened the door to see a very panicked Rich. "Woah dude are y-you alright?" Jeremy asked and Rich shook his head, grabbing Jeremy's wrist and dragged him upstairs.

"Where'th your room?" Jeremy pointed to the door and Rich kicked it down(not actually, it was open and he kicked it), and unknown to him all five of Jeremy's Squips were staring at him. "Okay I need to athk you thomething important!" Rich slammed the door and Jeremy was wide eyed and confused.

"O-Okay?"

"Can you tell me how to get Jake to realize I like him?"

"What!?" Jeremy yelled and Rich covered his mouth.

"Look, I need advithe, you're bi like I am, and you clearly have a thing for Michael, don't deny it, so how the hell do I athk Jake out?"

"I-I dunno? Just don't tell him he excited you sexually, that'll screw it up." Jeremy was blood red, confused as all hell at his current situation.

"You gotta give me more than that Jeremy! C'mon pleathe?" Jeremy shrugged and Rich sighed. "Wait why don't I just athk Michael? Jeremy where doeth he live?" Jeremy gave Rich the address and the shorter male thanked him and quickly left.

Not ten minutes later, Jeremy's phone is going off. This time it was from Jake.

PanAF: Jeremy I need your help.

Queer_Heere: Wow everybody needs my help it seems

PanAF: Plz!

Queer_Heere: ok spill

PanAF: ok so...I might have the smallest crush on Rich but I'm scared he's gonna say no or wonder why somebody as cool as me is asking him out what do I do?

PanAF: and I know u can help me bc you r hella gay for ur best friend

Queer_Heere: I like Christine Jake! But Rich was like...just over at my place asking for the same advice.

PanAF: yo srsly?

Queer_Heere: yeah he's at Michael's now. Just don't tell him I told u this plz I don't wanna lose my house too

PanAF: what? (A/N, nobody had told Jake that Rich burned the house. They kept that gossip away from him because how close he is to Rich and bc honestly Jake is probably more sensitive then we think. But like..he was so drunk that night that he doesn't know what happened)

Queer_Heere: oh it's an inside joke. U wouldn't get it.

PanAF: oh ok. But srsly Rich likes me back?

Queer_Heere: yes, now I gtg Jake.

PanAF: goodbye bi

Queer_Heere: OMG!!

Jeremy turned off his phone and sighed violently.

"Why does everybody want my advice?" He muffled his face into one of his bed pillows and the Squips just watched him.

"Well I would assume it's because there are only four guys in your friend group. You, Michael, Rich, and Jake. And Rich and Jake weren't gonna ask each other, and you sent Rich to Michael, so that left you." Winston seemed pleased with his answer and Jeremy rolled around on his bed so he wouldn't suffocate himself.

"I guess so...oh God tomorrow's Monday...what homework didn't I do?" Jeremy muttered and he tapped his hands on his stomach waiting for a response.

"History, specifically the Revolution, algebra, some English, oh Spanish homework, and chemistry." Shane was looking through Jeremy's notes as he happily exclaimed what the boy hadn't done.

"I'm fucked." Jeremy mumbled and the five of them looked at each other then back to Jeremy.

"There's five of us. Five assignments....Guys we should like...totally split Jeremy's homework!! Yo I'm smart I just did math!"

"You're a computer Shane of course you can do math." Eric spat out rather harshly, causing Shane's eyes to prick with tears.

"Eric you made him cry!!" Keira yelled, backslapping Eric's cheek and running over to the crying Shane. Sal also backslapped him and ran to care for Shane.

"Calm down Shane...look, gimme your hand okay?" Sal whispered and Shane did as told. Sal quickly manifested nail polish and started to paint a bright indigo color on Shane's nails, causing the youngest Squip to stop crying completely.

When done, Shane was smiling again.

"Always works." Sal snapped the bottle away and crossed his arms in triumph. Keira gently hugged Shane, moving his hair out of his face and kissing his forehead as if she were his mother.

"Now back to what you were saying, we could split Jeremy's homework. His English homework is poetry right?" Keira asked and Winston eyed it and nodded. "I'll handle that. Shane can handle the chemistry, Winston can do the Spanish, Sal you can do the History, and Eric can do the algebra because he just LOVES math." Keira smiled at Eric, almost forced, and he rolled his eyes.

Jeremy watched the five split up and start managing his homework. He smiled, grabbing his laptop and turning on an incognito tag.

"CCCmon cccmon go go." He mumbled as he tapped his finger impatiently. "Please load!" He yelled but still his computer remained on the loading screen. "Uggh." He shut the computer and sighed exasperatedly.

At least he didn't have to worry about his homework.
