Connors POV

Two days left of junior year, I wonder if I'll make it through the summer. I doubt I can. I looked at my wrist, my scars are taking longer than usual to heal. I slammed my locker shut, still staring at my wrist. As if that'll make them go away.

Trying to walk out of the not-as-busy-as-before hallways I didn't look up. A mistake on my part really. I noticed someone forced to walk beside me.

"H-hey" he got pushed closer to me and tried not to touch me, "sorry, I-I don't mean to make you uncomfortable." I put my hand down instinctively.

"Don't touch me."

"Yeah, I'm t-trying." We walked the rest of the way out side by side uncomfortably. As I started to walk away from him in front of the entrance he called my name. "You shouldn't cope like that. I-I know things can be hard and sometimes you feel alone... but I know you're stronger than that, right?" He smiled kindly and walked away.

Be still my heart. The fuck does he know. I sighed and went about my day. 

Next day

I walked into the computer lab, so I don't have to be around anyone for a good part of my morning. Plus the teacher is never in here so it's perfect for smoking weed.

I saw one other person in here. There's always a straggler or two. I heard him mumbling. W... wait HeS the kid from yesterday. I grabbed a piece of paper from the printer so I could strike up a conversation with him. This wimps gonna ruin my reputation I know he will.

"Oh, h-h...hi connor!" He grabbed the hem of his shirt and held back his smile.

I tried not focusing on how cute I thought he looked. Jesus fuck. "Hey. You, is this yours?" I looked at the paper, "it says dear Evan Hansen, and you're the only other person here so.... I just figured."

Evan tried reaching out for it but I pulled it away after skimming over it. "Ah yeah! That's mine! Th-Thanks! It's for therapy um!" He kept trying to grab it.

I let a smile grow on my face. Shit I haven't been this embarrassed since elementary. "Because there's Connor." Evan jumped up and covered my eyes.

"Stop!Stop!Stop!" I could hear the desperation in his voice.

I chuckled. SHIT I CHUCKLED WHAT THE FUCK IS WROMG WITH ME!? "Here." I grabbed a pen from my backpack and wrote my number on the back of his paper.

Evan turned bright red. "Y-you, you!"

"I What? Fucking dork." I hit my hand on the top of his head softly.

He smiled and shoved his paper into his backpack. "Um, you... thanks."

After school

Evan saw me at my locker. Some guy with glasses shoved his shoulder and told him something. Evan nodded his head and ran to me. "H-hey Connor!"

"Hey Evan."

"YOU REMEMEBR MY N- oops sorry!" He lowered his voice still obviously excited.

I shook my head starting to make my way outside. He followed me, rather than talking he pulled his phone out.

*bing*
*bing*

I got my phone out of my pocket. Since when do I have notifications.
