Evan's Apartment

Evan was constantly refreshing his email as he waited for the email to come. His hands were shaking as he pulled the screen down and waited for it to come. Then it did and he aggressively tapped on the screen. When he saw the screen his hands started shaking and no he was not nervous like the time he had to give a presentation in front of his class in 8th grade when he was shaking so much he dropped his note cards in the ground. But this time it was for a good reason and it was unbelievable. He was about to email the director if it was a mistake but Jared came up behind him and asked "Why are you shaking? Is someone asking you to do a presentation on minerals." Evan didn't pay attention to Jared's snarky comment as he shoved his phone into Jared's hands. Jared took a second to process the news until he said "Holy Fuck, You got Jean Valjean!" Evan quickly nodded and Jared said "Hey isn't this much better than last week when you thought that they'd cast you as a prostitute or that they'd not cast you at all. So this is better." Jared shot some finger guns his way and he said "B-But what if I'm not ready for it! After all this is my first lead roll! What if I forget my lines in the middle of a show!" Then Jared said "Hey buddy you'll be fine you've had Les miserables memorized since you were like ten. So I'm sure you'll be fine. Plus I got Theanarder so we'll do this together!" Evan slowly nodded and then Evan said "So who else made the cast?" Jared looked back at Evan's phone and scrolled down through the email "Well Zoe got Fantine. So are you excited to watch the girl you had a crush on for 9th and 10th grade die in front of your eyes," Evan shot Jared a deadpan glare and Jared continued "Okay I'll take that as a no. Anyway, Christine got Cosette so she'll be good, Jeremy is Marius and Micheal is Enjouras so from what I gather Micheal is going to be jelous of Christine, Jake, Rich, Chloe, and Jenna are in the ensemble, Alana is Eponine, Brooke is Madame Theanarder, and-." Jared started uproariously laughing and Evan asked "Wh-Why are you laughing?" Jared handed Evan's phone back to him and Evan scrolled to the top of the cast list and under Javert was the name Connor Murphy. Evan blushed a bright red and Jared said "You-your!" He couldn't make it through the sentence but Evan finished it for him "My co-star is the person I've had a crush on since junior year of highschool." Jared was bent over and wheezing with laughter so he grabbed onto Evan until he eventually stopped laughing. Now Evan was happy that he got a lead and was happy that Connor got a lead but when they had to interact quite a bit and stage fight each other and stuff and since Evan can barely talk to him that is going to be a problem. Then Jared said "My god this is going to be fun." Then Jared walked back to his room in the apartment leaving Evan sitting on the rug in in the living room. This left Evan some time to think about what was to come tomorrow.

Connor's Apartment

Connor paced back and forth across the living room floor as he waited for the notification to show up on his phone. He was really tense and he could feel his heart pounding in his chest. Then Alana came up behind him and screamed "BOO!" This startled Connor as he tripped on the fuzzy Purple carpet before landing on the coffee table with a loud thump. Connor screamed "What the Fuck!" as he rubbed the bruise on his neck. Alana immediately helped him off the table and Alana looked at the bruise "Does it hurt?" Connor turned around and dryly said "No." Alana immediately rushed into the other room to grab a bag of ice and Connor just stood there and grabbed his phone before going to refresh his emails again. Alana runs back into the living room before handing the ice pack to Connor "Here." Connor accepts the ice and puts it onto his bruise before going back to his phone. Alana peeked over his shoulder and asked "What ya lookin at?" Connor looked puzzled "Did you forget about the cast list?" Alana's eyes widened "Oh shit!" Alana ran across the apartment and to her bedroom before grabbing her phone off the side table. Suddenly both of them were sitting on the couch refreshing their emails until suddenly the email showed up. They both tapped onto it immediately and screamed "Yes! I got Epoine." When Connor got to his part he was for an instant incredibly excited but then he saw who was cast as Jean Valjean. Connor's face immediately went bright red. Then Alana looked over and said "Hey, you got Javert shouldn't you be happy?" Connor said "But how can I fight the boy I have a crush on?" Alana looked at the list and saw Evan's name under Jean Valjean. Alana giggled and Connor said "Hey at least you don't have to fight Zoe." Alana thought for a second and said "Hey at least you have a lot time on stage with him. I only have some time toward the end." Then they both sank into the couch as they thought about what tommorow might bring.
