And you decided whether you saw beauty or destruction

Driven as hell

(Different musical)

Of course I did a legally bi one-shot for the last two, what did you expect? This jumps right after "What rich romantic planet are you from?"

May the year before you help you grow closer to your goals, and further from your worries. 

Connor looked around the room in amazement. 

"I wasn't aware students were allowed this much greenery"

"Well... make yourself comfortable while I get my books"

Connor looks around again.

"Where?"

It takes Evan a bit to find his books, what does take a lot of time is cleaning his desk of the potted plants that sit in it. 

"I get the feeling your major was biology"

"Something like that"

"You could've followed that path, you know?" 

"I already told you why I'm here" 

"Right, you're an idiot"

"I'm in love" 

"Same difference really"

"You're such a charmer"

Connor chuckled; he was liking this snarky side of Evan Hansen. Evan finally finishes and places the books on the table.

"Well then, let's get down to business, shall we?"

"B-bye Jared... happy thanks giving"

Connor watches him linger in the doorway for a minute while he nurses a can of red bull.

The moment Evan stops being a lovesick fool, Connor begins quizzing him on the material they have learned so far; he notes the boy's answers are slightly more sure, and that he's moving around the room moving stuff.

"Where are you going?" 

"Home? It's thanksgiving break" 

Connor raises an eyebrow, Evan falters.

"What?" 

Connor leans back in the chair, still holding the expression.

"Can you stop your whole I'm smarter than you spiel and just tell me what you're thinking" 

"Oh nothing, I'm sure you'll do just fine in your exams" 

"Yeah?"

"Probably a low passing grade"

"That's unfair!"

"It's what happens when you don't prepare in time"

Evan bristles for a full moment, which Connor watches almost transfixed; it's good to know the boy is human beneath all the pleasant smiles and quiet attitude. Then Evan sags and drops into his bed, pulling his book out of his bag.

"Fine, you're right, like always"

"Bye Jared, happy Hanukah"

Trevor shifts the cards on his hands as Evan closes the door.

"Ok now, focus Ev, focus"

Evan is really lucky to have befriended Trevor; the hairdresser is going out of his way to help him. Actually, Evan isn't sure when their friendship happened, but he likes the way it works.
