What if Zoe died instead? The plot flipped so Evan likes Connor and Zoe dies.
Dear Evan Hansen,
Today was a okay day, some bullies pushed you but they got bored pretty quickly and didn't beat you up. Then the science teacher assigned a project on trees with is good because you love trees. Then your long time crush Connor Murphy talked to you in the library and apologized, then he asked to sign your cast. You've had a crush on him for years and maybe this will be the year you actually do something about it.
Sincerely me
Evan stared at the letter before shrugging and printing it out, he probably wouldn't give this one to his therapist so he wouldn't have to tell his mom he's gay. I'll just say I forgot.
He had actually forgotten about the paper until Zoe Murphy approached him.
"Is this yours?" She asked holding out the paper "I saw your name on it"
Evan froze, a million scenarios running through his head Did she read it? What if she shows people? What if she tells Connor? "Uh, yeah t-that's mine" he said nervously
"Your names Evan, right?" She asked
Evan tore his eyes away from the letter "Y-yeah, Evan" his hands pulled at the hem of his shirt "Sorry that was weird"
Zoe looked confused "What was?"
"You s-said my name and I repeated it back, sorry" He explained
"I swear it's fine" Zoe told him "I'm Zoe"
Evan nodded, determined not make a fool of himself.
"You want this back, right? She asked holding out the letter.
"Y-yeah" he replied hoping to grab the letter before she could read his 'crazy sex note to Connor Murphy' as Jared liked to call it.
She was about hand it to him when she read one of the sentences "Is that my brothers name?"
Evan felt like melting into the floor "Um.."
"What the hell Evan?" She asked reading the rest of the letter
"Please don't tell anyone" Evan begged attempting to grab her arm
Zoe pulled away and ran out of the library. Evan wanted to say something but the words would form and instead he just watched her go.

"ZOEY MURPHY KNOWS?" Jared laughed "She has your sex note to Connor Murphy?"
"Jared shh" Evan said looking around, luckily no one had heard him
"I bet she'll tell everyone, starting with her big brother" Jared guessed
"Sh-she wouldn't, right?" Evan asked himself, aware of the fact that Jared was too busy laughing to listen to him "They aren't that close"
"You're screwed buddy, now you have no chance of screwing Connor Murphy" Jared exclaimed, laughing at his own joke.
"Shut up J-jared" Evan blushed "I need t-to go home, please don't tell anyone?" He asked
"I don't have to" Jared said, turning to walk home.

The next day Evan got called to the office. He was expecting the nurse to tell him his mom called or something. He wasn't expecting two crying people he didn't know.
The principal glance at him before looking sadly at the couple "Here's Evan, I'll let you talk"
Evan was tempted to ask him to stay, but that might be awkward so instead he turned to the couple. The women's eyes were red and puffy like she had been crying a lot but the man just looked detached from everything.
