Note: Sorry that the last one was really long, but that's what I'm hoping the other oneshots will be like. Just so that the last one wasn't a whole book in itself, I'm making a continuation of it, hence the same title and the term, "Pt. 2." Enjoy!

________________________________________________________________________________

When Cynthia told Connor that his sister was a lead in yet another production, he was tempted to ask Zoe if the same girl that was Ado Annie is in it, but he mentally cursed himself. "The odds of that are nearly impossible." Yet, he was still in the same situation he was in six months ago. In the back of the family car, except Jared and Evan were in the back with him.

Just great. He wasn't worried about Evan annoying the crap out of him too much, but Jared was a different story. He never told anyone about his five second crush on a girl he didn't even know, and he planned to keep it that way. When they got to the venue, they stopped by the flower booth first, since it was a madhouse during intermission.

The three of them sat down, talking madly about topics Connor didn't even bother with understanding. Soon enough, the lights went down, and the audience was met with.. "Holy shit." Connor muttered. "You have got to be kidding me." He thought. His five second crush was onstage, as Veronica from Heathers.

Just his fucking luck. He was praying that Evan didn't see the blush that was creeping it's way onto his face. His sister killed it as Heather Chandler in Candy Store, which suprised Connor. After Big Fun, Connor looked down at his pamphlet to see what the next song was. "Fuck." He cursed under his breath.

Dead Girl Walking was next. The entire time, Connor felt like he was going to spontaneously combust. She had discarded her jacket at this point, and JD had gotten rid of his shirt. "Love this dead girl walking!" She sang, hitting the high note, and very strongly for that matter. At first, he could relate to JD, being the, "Dark outcast."

But now he felt a pang of jealousy in his chest. But there he was, sitting in the audience, praying that the number ended before... ya know. Soon enough, Blue came along, and Jared was laughing along with the rest of the audience. That took his mind off of his five second crush, and he made a mental note to talk to her after the show.

Soon enough, the show came to an end, and almost immediately, he shot up, looking around for the girl. I mean, he congratulated his sister of course, but he was determined to not let another six months go by without him knowing her name. As he stood in the hallway by the flowers, he saw her walking in his direction.

He took a deep breath, and walked towards her. "Hi." He finally said, much more timid than he hoped. She smiled at him kindly. "Hi. You're Connor, right?" He was shocked for a minute that someone actually knew who he was without saying the words, "Zoe Murphy's brother." She had always been more popular than he was, but he nodded nonetheless.

"Ya, that would be me." He felt a small smile tug at his lips. "Zoe talks about you all the time! Although..." She looked at him, slightly puzzled. "Although?..." He said, half expecting her to call him a freak, and half of him hoping she wouldn't. She laughed slightly, a blush coming to her cheeks. "You're much more attractive than Zoe led me to believe."

Connor felt himself turn red. "Anyway, you were, um, you were in, whatchamacallit..." He snapped his fingers as he tried to remember the name of the show he saw last. "Oklahoma?" She asked, completing his thought. "Ya! You were Ado Annie, right?" She nodded. "I knew I recognized you from somewhere!" He said, becoming much less awkward.

"Yep, you're looking at the one and only." She said casually. He smiled. "You were really good tonight, by the way." He said. She smiled. "Thank you." He nodded. The moment was going very smoothly until he heard, "Hey Hot Topic!" Jared laughed from behind him, knowing fully well that he scared the crap out of him.

Connor rolled his eyes, shaking his head slightly. "What do you want Kleinmeme." Jared smirked. "Well, I was wondering if I could get a picture of you two." She perked up, "Sure!"  Connor sighed, shooting a glare at Jared. "Calm down dipshit, it's only a stupid photo." He thought to himself. "Five seconds and you'll be fine."

So he went for the default, and he put his arm around her, putting on a smile. That's when a girl with curly brown hair jumped into the photo. "Goddammit Emma." He grumbled. Connor at this moment realized how tall he was, compared to the girl. She only went up to about his chest. After Jared took another photo, Connor was partially relieved until he asked,

"Mind if I get another photo?" She smiled politely and shrugged. "Sure." He made a mental note to kill the walking meme on Monday. This time, the girl threw him for a loop. She went up on her toes, and kissed him on the cheek, bringing an immediate blush to his face. Jared took the photo, not before laughing a little and thanking her.

She smiled at him. "Would you mind if I gave you my number so I could get the photos?" He shook out his head a little. "Sure." He took out his pamphlet, and she signed it with her charachter's name and her phone number. "Um, you want me to put my number in your phone so that you don't think it's some random freak?"

She shrugged. "Sure, I might as well put your number in my phone while I'm at it." So they exchanged phones, and just before they were about to part ways, Connor said, "Oh ya! I don't think I ever got your name! What's your name again?" She smiled. "It's Y/n, but I put it in your phone just in case.

He nodded. "Thanks Y/N." "No problem."

When they texted later, he found out that she had moved there that summer, and was going to be in his school in the fall.

Just great.
