The unnecessarily loud buzz of the Computer Lab air conditioner peeved him, but Connor needed to release his thoughts somewhere. He would've just written in his notebook, but Connor only found its absence in his bag. He must've forgotten to pack it while he was rushing to get ready. Oh well, Connor preferred to write on a computer instead of his phone, anyway. There were too many limitations. His screen was too small, he couldn't type as fast, the formatting on mobile sucked—so here he was.

The screen was blank, and so was Connor's head. Connor watched the text cursor blink in and out for five minutes straight before moving his gaze up the wall. He just didn't feel inspired today. It was strange because he usually felt the most inspired on his bad days, and on a scale of 1-10 of bad days, today was a solid 8.

Bzz bzz.

Connor jolted and hit his knee on the underside of the table. Jesus, did that AC have a rat in it or something?

Bzz bzz.

Connor glanced down at his phone. He had Instagram notifications.

Evan.Hansen
Hi
Actually you're probably busy. Sorry, I'll leave you alone

Connor stared at the message, contemplating. He was kind of busy... Fuck it, his brain was empty, and talking to Evan sounded much better right now. Connor began to type a response. He didn't really know what to say or how to talk to someone in general while he was sober, so he settled on lying.

Connor watched the dots bounce on his screen. His eyes drooped, but they shot open at the rattle of the air conditioner.

Evan.Hansen
