Can't get the strange device from the principal on Bugg's run

[PotatOS]

When Nugget tells on me to the principal, I can only get the pills. Is there something specific to say or do I have to find the device?

To get the device you need to talk to Nugget about Billy specifically, until he sends you to the principal. He should give you the device after that...

Yeah I think I did that, but he just tells me not to feel sad about Billy and gives me the pills to take everytime I think about him.

Say to the principal:

Who told you that?
I'm not sad about Billy.
I'm not.
Billy and I were friends.
It's hard to be friends with someone who is missing.

then finish out the dialogue. He should make you take a pill then, as well as give you the device.

Alternatively

You can buy the yo-yo from Monty going to school.
And you can start Jerome’s quest and get him to distract the teacher.
Instead of leaving the room just take the device from Jerome’s cubbie all the way on the left side of the class. (Jerome will take the hall pass back if you don’t at least leave the room btw)

if you offer the flower to nugget and be his friend but don't talk to him EVER AGAIN or he will blow you up and and do the rest of the mission lol
