Evan's POV
2/14/19

Here I was.

Evan Hansen, the closeted bisexual to most, was stalking... no, WAITING for his crush, Connor Murphy, to see that dreadful note. Why had I slipped it into his locker? Well, it's too late to be shy... oh my god, he found it... fuuu-

He had noticed me in the corridor.

"Hey, Evan? I saw the note and- I'm sorry but... I don't return those feelings."

He's... not angry? That... doesn't seem like him. Is it because of the cheesy Valentine's Day decorations the school had put up?
I'll ask him later.
"I-it's fine. I just wanted to get the weight off m-my back. A-anyways, how'd you know it was me?"

"Pftt, you're the only person in the entire school that would have an email called [email protected]."

"Y-yeah, that's true..." this was the perfect opportunity to ask about this behavior. "Connor, I've noticed you acting kinda... off lately, are you doing ok?"

"Hmm? Oh, yeah, I'm fine. The therapist at rehab has just made me look on the brighter side of things, that's all."

"O-oh." Evan, 'oh' is not an intelligent reply for this sort of thing!

"C-Connor, d-do you wanna be f-friends? I-I mean you don't have to if you don't want to it's just after what happened this school year it feels right and oh my god I'm rambling again I'm so sorry..." I added.

"Sure, and it's cool Ev. Wait, can I call you Ev?"

"Y-yeah, it's cool." And I'm blushing again, aren't I?

"Well, um, see you later!" I called. I was helpless, helpless. I was hopeless, hopeless...

-time squip brought to you by the writer and Michael Mell-

"Oof!"

"Ahh! I'm so sorry, Heere, lemme help you up!"

"It's finee, (he's not high- I swear) some of my Cherry Slushy got on my favorite red hoodie- but I can wash it!"

"M-Michael, I'm so sorry! And it's your favorite hoodie too. Heere, have 10 bucks. And is there anything else I can do?"

"Have your $10 back, Mark. But you could stop saying Jeremy's last name."

"Only if you call me Evan instead of Mark."

"Deal."

A/N: ok so I made a hecca long chapter (compared to the other one) to make up for the first one. And I'm sorry about those dad jokes- I mean mom jokes (I'm a female.) Next chapter is juicy af. Also I'm writing this so quickly because I wrote this on notes (on another device ;-;)
