~Insanely Cool~ (Jared Kleinman x Reader)

Part 1~ Just Family Friends..?

(Y/N) Hansen. That's me. Also known as Mark Evan Hansen's sister. Evan's twin sister to be exact. We're always there for each other, through thick and thin. Whether we need support or we had a bad day, we're there for the other. I'm not popular, per say, but I have a couple friends. Zoe Murphy, Michael Mell, Christine Canigula, Veronica Sawyer, and.. Jared Kleinman.
What can I say about Jared? Well, let's see, he says we're only "family friends" to him. Sometimes I think he only hangs out with me and Ev for car insurance. But-but, today, today is going to be a good day and here's why-
"(Y/N)! HAVE YOU SEEN MY- NEVER MIND!" Evan yells from downstairs. "ALSO, (N/N) ARE YOU ALMOST READY? WE KINDA GOTTA GET TO SCHOOL!"
Shit. I was too busy daydreaming to realize we gotta leave in- FIVE MINUTES?! Shit,shit,shit! I hear knocking on my door, and I reply, "EV, HOLD ON!"
"Not Evan (N/N)." I hear a familiar voice say. "Oh, hi Jared. Why are you here?" "Nothin much, y'know just waiting for you to get your lazy ass ready and out the door." "Yeah, well Jared, I need to collect my stuff, so sit downstairs with Evan. I'll be down. I promise." "But Evan's conversation skills are weakkkkk." Jared groans. "Jared. I don't give a shit. I gotta collect my belongings. Now go." Jared walks out of the room with a "Shit." and then that leaves me to get my belongings.
~~~Time Squip~~~
We're walking to school with Jared, in silence,mind you. It's really weird. No sex jokes, no self deprecation, not even light comedy. Jared's never this quiet.
"Hey, Jared? Are you like, ok? You're kinda quiet,like no sex jokes, or jokes on how Evan broke his arm? What's the deal?" I finally say. "Yeah, I'm surprised I wasn't insulted when you walked into the house. Are you ok, Jared?" Evan adds in. "Guys, I'm fine, I'm just..." Jared says. "You're just what?" I question. "Just, I don't know? Thinking? Can't I think, (Y/N)?" Jared kinda raises his voice when he says that. The rest of the trip was silent.
~~~Extra Time Squip~~~
I was still pretty pissed at Jared. I mean, he doesn't have to snap at me or Evan. We're just concerned... "family friends". Ugh I hate it when he calls us that. It makes me feel less of myself because honestly, he's like my closest friend. And besides, do family friends send memes to each other, or-or literally invites each other to their houses to hang out or watch movies and end up falling asleep! Like, what exactly does he mea-
"(N/N)! Earth to (N/N)!" Zoe says as she waves her hands in front of my face. "Yeah?" I say. "You kinda spaced out there. You ok?" She kindly says. "To be honest, it's Jared. He-" "Let me guess! He told you he loves you. Nonono wait. He said he wants you to-" Zoe rambles. "ZO! Nothing like that! He just seems.. I don't know, distant? He sorta snapped at me and Ev on the walk to school." I say with a hint of sadness and annoyance in my voice. "Aw (N/N) I'm sorry." Zoe apologetically says. "It's fine honestly. I mean, why not treat me like trash in private too? After all we're just... family friends." I say with a hint of hurt in my voice. Zoey and I walk to lunch and then sit with go our separate ways. I know that Ev has no one to sit with and siting with Zoe gives him anxiety, so we just sit together, I don't want him having panic attacks at lunch. "Hey Ev. How's your day going?" He looks frightened. "What's wrong Ev?" Then, I look behind me, and low and behold, the being himself, Connor Heccing Murphy, staring right at us. "I-uh-" I squeak out before asshole jumps in.
       "Hey Connor! Lovin' the new haircut! Very school shooter chic!" Jared says with a smirk. He's gonna get killed. Connor shoots him a glare. "I was kidding, it was a joke." Jared says, losing his confident voice. "Yeah, no, it was funny. I'm laughing can't you tell? Am I not laughing hard enough for you?" Connor deadpans. Jared then nervously laughs and losing his bravado, says, "You're such a freak." Jared then walks away laughing. This does not bode well for us. Out of nervousness, Evan laughs. Connor's emotion quickly changes from deadpan to rage real quick. "What the fuck are you laughing at?" Connor says, rage-filled "Wha-" Evan tries to say. "Stop fucking laughing at me." "I'm not-" "You think I'm a freak?" "No I don't-" "I'm not the freak." "But I wasn't-" "You're the fucking freak." And with that, Evan gets shoved to the ground, as I rush over to help him. "Ev, are you ok? Ev?" I say, but he's looking past me. "Hey, I'm sorry about my brother. I saw him push you. He's a psychopath. Evan, right?" Thank god for Zoe. "Evan?" Evan stutters out. Shit. "That's your name, right?" "Yes it's Evan, sorry, Zo." I quickly say, trying to save the conversation between my brother and my friend. "Oh, well I'm sorry that my brother shoved you, Evan. I bet you're happy to have a sibling who cares about you, right?" Zoe says. Evan simply nods, to flustered to answer. "Well, I gotta go, my lunch is getting cold, see you around Evan, bye (N/N)!" "Bye Zo!" I say back to her. As I help Evan to his feet, Evan says to me, "Jared's real great isn't he?" with sarcasm in his voice. "Ev, did you just, *gasp* use sarcasm?"  We both laugh and return to our seats. Soon enough the lunch bell rings, and then I have to go to history with asshole.
As I walk to history, thoughts swirl in my head. 'Jared's just using you. You know that, right?' 'Jared is too embarrassed of you and Evan to show to his camp friends.' Shut up. 'Just face it.' Tears well up in my eyes as I enter the room. I push my feelings to the side for the benefit of others. That's been happening a lot recently. As I continue with the class work, I feel a pair of eyes stare at me. I ignore it, and as I leave the classroom to go home,  I feel a pair of hands grab me on my way out.
