Luckily for them, they quickly discover that Zeke's homemade drugs (consisting mostly of water-absorbing caffeine pills) can suck all the life out of these extremely hydrophilic aliens. This leads to a hilarious yet gripping scene in which the teens must take turns snorting the drug to prove they are not possessed by the aliens...
...take the crunch-time of exams as a blessing in disguise and amend her behavior to minimize procrastination and hit that unopened Core textbook. It will be difficult; old habits (especially ones with the short-term thrill that procrastination possesses) die hard.
