Be More Chill

Chloe gives Jeremy the ecstasy and then leads him through the party. He notices that Christine is sitting in a room by herself, and he wants to talk to her, but both the SQUIP and Chloe urge him to go with her. Chloe takes Jeremy into the laundry room in the basement, where there is a mattress set up. They begin to kiss, and Jeremy becomes high from the ecstasy. He and Chloe make out, but they are interrupted when a fist punches through the window. Brock, Chloe’s boyfriend, is belligerently jealous and begins to chase Jeremy. He tries to reactivate the SQUIP for advice, but it can communicate to him only in Spanish due to the ecstasy. Chloe leaves, and Jeremy manages to lose Brock in the crowd. He goes to hide in a bathroom and finds the “hot girl” Stephanie inside, vomiting.

Jeremy hides under the sink while Stephanie vomits into the toilet. Brock attempts to enter, but when Stephanie tells him to go away, he leaves. After waiting under the sink for a while, Jeremy gets out and asks Stephanie if he can hold on to her leg because it is warm.
