Man I think I love her! (Jared Kleinman x Reader)

The Play (part two of I don't know...)

Y/n's Pov

It was around 4:20 when I finally finished all of my homework. I sat there in my bed and stared up at the ceiling with my notebook and pen in hand wondering what to do next. I realized soon after that I had no plan whatsoever when it came to this.

"What the hell was I thinking, trying to perform part of a musical?!" I sighed in frustration. What I need is a spark to light my fire, I need a good enough idea to plan out. All of the ideas that I had were terrible,  let me tell you, trying to come up with song, choreography, and cast ideas were more difficult than you think. I had to come up with 2 songs to perform with my "cast" that will make sense to the audience and I hate to break it to you but that can be somewhat hard for Dear Ben Platt, a musical notorious for its confusing soundtrack.

"Hey open up!" I snapped back into reality and looked for the source of the noise. I looked at my window which I presumed where the voice came from and saw no other than the KiNkY bath bomb loving meme himself, Jared Kleinman. I screamed loudly and almost fell off my bedside from shock. I checked to see if I was seeing things but nope, Jared was there laughing his ass off.

I picked myself up and walked to the doorframe and heaved it open all in one movement.

"How. Did. You. Get. Here?" I breathed.

"Hello to you too, N/n" He rolled his eyes. I moved out of the way so he could get in my room.

"I used a ladder," He answered.

"Of course you did," I muttered with a smile.  He immediately launched himself onto my bed with a thud and crushing all of my blank papers in the process.

"Hey!" I yelled. "I know there was like nothing on there but you can't just destroy my papers like that!" Jared realized this and got back up to see the crumpled pieces of paper and said sorry. Thank god it wasn't my homework, I thought.

"So what do you want? Can't you see I'm a bit busy heere?" I picked up the remaining bits of paper off my bed and then tried to smooth them out the best I could.  

"What do you think I'm doing, creeping in here like a perv? No, I just wanted to help you!" He rolled his eyes at me and crossed his arms in a defiant sort of way. I paused what I was doing and made an 'Oh' noise.

"Well, in that case, I need help coming up with choreography, songs, and cast" I saw his jaw drop and I replied with a, "Yeah I know," His head simply nodded.

(Insert awkward silence)

I clapped my hands together and said, "Welp let's start I guess!" Jared chuckled nervously and sat back on my bed carefully. I picked up my f/c notebook and 2 different colored pens, one for me and one for Jared. I handed him the red one and continued to hold the black one. He patted the bed with his hand signaling me to sit with him and it was at that point that I was staring.

"Oh, yeah," I hoped up next to him, our hands briefly touching. I blushed at the immediate reaction but I push those feelings aside for when I lay down in bed in the middle of the night.

"S-So, I think we should start with the songs first. We need at least 1 song to perform but it has to be at least 15 minutes long," He didn't say anything but I could tell that he was deep in thought.

"We should do the Song You Wil Be Found since it's so popular," Jared said finally. I've thought of that already but the song is only about 6 minutes long and there wasn't even much dialogue to include to make it long enough. In total, it would only be about 10 minutes.

"That's what I thought too but the song is only 10  minutes and that's if we included dialogue," I replied.

"Well that's why I was thinking we could sing Disappear first and then sing, You Will Be Found and include all of the dialogue," I thought for a moment, trying to think if this would actually work. I calculated how much time it would take to do it and it would approximately be 30 minutes, more than 15 minutes and less than 45. The only question remaining was if the audience would understand what was happening during disappear?

"Would the audience get Disappear though?" Jared thought about it for a moment and then nodded his head.

"It's more about the message, not the story," He concluded, to which I nodded.

_TIME SQUIP_

"So I guess we've settled on Connor being Mike Faist," I looked up at Jared into his stunning blue eyes.

Pretending to be upset, Jared said "Aw man, there goes my plan to be Mike and dress up all emo," I imagined him painting his nails black and wearing all black (with the exception of very very very dark grey). I scrunched my face.

"Nobody wants to see that," I said causing both of us to laugh. I looked back down to the list of the cast-or I guess what we had so far.

Evan as Ben Platt

Connor as Mike Faist

Jared as Will Roland

Y/n as Kristolyn Lloyd

_______ as Laura Dreyfuss

 Other people...

"And that's if they even want these roles," I muttered. What if they don't want to do this anymore? What if they don't like their roles at all?

"Oh my god stop hyperventilating, everything's fine,"

"Oh, I didn't realize I was uhh doing that," I started to fidget around with my already clammy hands. This was fun (I love being sarcastic). I fiddled with my pen and was trying to figure out roles for Michael and Jeremy. The other question was who would play the parents in all of this. I mean they are kinda important to the story.

"I think maybe Michael and Jeremy can be like side characters," Jared said, "You know to sing and stuff," I slowly nodded my head and agreed. I quickly glanced at my clock on the wall and almost choked.

"Jared, oh my god I didn't realize the time, you should head out!" He glanced at the clock and saw that it was 7:05. His eyes went a little large for a quick second before they returned back to normal size. I guess the saying 'Time flies when you're having fun' is true. I felt a bit guilty for keeping Jared for this long but I knew that if I had told him to leave any sooner he'd refuse.

I helped him pack up his stuff and walked him out the door. I waved goodbye and watched him amble to his house. As I stood in the doorway, I couldn't help but blush at his goofy grin and his glasses that he kept having to push up. 

"What are you looking at?" I yelled and turned around briskly. Oh, I thought, it was just my mom.

"Don't do that, you almost made me have a heart attack. You would've had to send me to the doctors!" My mom crossed her arms and gave me a smug look.

"Looks like we have to go there anyway since you have a case of Lovesickness," She responded causing me to roll my eyes. My mother had always been the type to laugh and make cheesy jokes such as this one. She probably gets it from all of those Romcoms she watches.

"Well what are you waiting for, I have the tacos on the table!" I jumped up and raced toward the table. How could I forget, it was Taco Tuesday! As I sat down in my seat I silently thanked God for Tuesdays....and tacos.

Tacos are the best! As I was writing this, I started to crave Tacos so I kinda wrote that in. I also wanted to mention that this story is almost done. I'd give it about 10 more chapters. It's probably going to be more but to be safe I will say about 10. Anyways as you are reading this, I hope that you have a good rest of your day/night!! =3
