Dear Evan Hansen Writing Prompts

“I’m going to take care of you, okay?”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Connor Murphy and I haven't always gotten along. In fact. We never have gotten along. It was only when Zoe and Evan started to finally date that changed everything for us.

We all started to hang out more , the 5 of us. Zoe, Alana, Evan, Connor and I. We go places together and have movie marathons at Connors and I never realized how good of a person he actually was. I always bullied him, and I regret it but I don't think I've ever actually apologized to him for it.

One of our game nights, Connor was complaining about how it was perfect long boarding weather but we were keeping him trapped in my house. I don't know how to skateboard, but I told him it sounded cool and he should teach me sometime.

So that leads me to today.

Today Connor was teaching me how to skateboard, and if that isn't the gayest shit you've ever heard of, Well diary. Stay tuned.

I went to his house, and I didn't really know what to expect. I brought knee pads and elbow pads and a helmet. I wanted to make sure that I was 100% ready.

Before I even knock, Connor was at the door and stared blankly at me. "What the fuck is all this?" He laughed at all the stuff I had. "Safety first my dear Conrad. I can't go fucking up this beautiful body. My body is a temple and I need to treat it properly,"

"Oh shut the fuck up. Come on." Connor laughed and lead me to the garage.

Now diary, I'd be lying if I said I didn't think Connor was cute. I thought he was cute even when I wasn't friends with him. But now that I know him and his personality, it makes him a lot cuter. But as his best friend, maybe 2nd best next to Evan, I knew he didn't like penis. Trust. I knew.

So he shows me some of his skateboard and the origin story of how this all came to be. "My mom was scared I wasn't going outside enough in like , the 4th grade or whatever, and so we compromised and decided on skateboarding." He smiled and handed me one of the several boards that was there.

He lead me to the sidewalk, and showed me how to balance my weight on the board before he would even let me move.

"Come on, what 17 year old learns to skateboard just by standing on it! Let's go!" I cry out and push my foot off the ground.

It was short lived.

I fell off the skateboard literally 2 seconds after pushing off.

So much for impressing him.

I didn't really notice it at first, but I had a large stinging from the side of my leg. "Holy shit Jared. Thanks for listening!" Connor said and came to pick me up but noticed my leg.

“I’m going to take care of you, okay?” Connor said non chalently, picking me up and bringing me into his bathroom.

I look down at my leg and notice the blood. "Oh god I'm going to be sick." I say dramatically. I actually do hate the sight of blood. It's so creepy and gross.

Connor was a true gentleman, he washed my wounds and wrapped them up for me. "Maybe skateboarding isn't for you." Connor laughed once he finished up.

He leaned across my body to check my hands and arms for any scratches or scrapes.

When he grabbed my hand across my body, I don't really know what I did. It's kind of a blur. He was looking at my face cause I guess I must of bumped it or something and I just kissed him.

DID YOU HEAR THAT DIARY.

YEP

I, JARED ALEXANDER KLEINMAN, KISSED CONNOR JACOB MURPHY.

What the fuck was I thinking?!

He didn't really react. After I pulled away he shrugged and said "cool"

COOL?!

WHAT THE FUCK

I was too embarrassed to stay for lunch so I went home immediately.

Which leads me to right now. The present. No time like it.

I've been panicking in my bedroom for the past 3 hours because Connor didn't even react. I mean he didn't react negatively. But it wasn't positive either.

One sec diary. Got a text.

Heyyyyoooo

So like... no need to panic. Connor just text me. And to quote his exact text.

"You know, you didn't have to leave like that. And sorry I didn't react really. Was just taken aback. Wouldn't be mad about that happening again as long as you're not wearing you're helmet."

Okay pce out diary. Headed back to the Murphys to hang out with Connor.
To be updated soon.

Sincerely, the insanely cool, Jared Kleinman.
