"2 days?!"
"Yeah Acorn didn't you here on the announcements?"
"I-I don't pay attention to those! I'm don't prepared at all!"

Jared snickered at Evan's frantic rambling

"Calm down Hansen you'll do fine either way, he'll I wouldn't even be suprised if you got the lead part"
"...JD..?"
"Veronica"
"Jared!"
"What? I wouldn't be suprised if our hippe director would want to make the play more 'diverse' I mean, who wouldn't want a cliché gay and murderous love story"

Evan groaned and put his head in his hands, Connor walked over and sat down, poking Evan's cheek

"What's up Hansen?"
"I had no idea the auditions were in two days, I haven't even picked a song"
"You'll do fine, you sound great either way"

♡♡♡

Evan was not okay.

He was currently having a mini panic attack while Jared was trying to calm him down. Connor had already auditioned and was currently sitting in the auditorium, since he wasn't allowed backstage again.

"W-What if you voice cracks? What if I accidentally ghost some notes? What if-"
"You need to calm yourself, you'll do perfectly fine"
"W-Wheres connor?"
"In the auditorium, why?"
"whaT-"

Evan frantically grabbed his notebook from his bag, almost dropping it multiple times, and flipped to the song he had planned on singing. He quickly scribbled down something before slamming his notebook shut after hearing his name

"Evan Hansen!"

Evan took a shaky breath and stepped on stage.

"Okay start when you're ready"

Evan gulped and tried to calm the shakiness in his hands, and, he began his audition. It was shaky at first but evened out into something beautiful

"I said
There's nothing like your smile
Sort of subtle and perfect and real

And I said
You never knew how how wonderful that smile could make someone feel

And I knew
Whenever you get bored you scribble hearts on the palm of your hand
And I noticed
That you still fill out those quizzes of 'how well do you know this band'

But I kept it all inside my head
What I saw, I left unsaid
And though I wanted to
I couldn't talk to you
I couldn't find the way
But I will always say

If i could tell h- them
Tell them everything I see
If I could tell them
How they're everything to me
But we're a million worlds apart
And I don't know how I would even start
If I could tell them
If I could tell them

I thought
He looked really pretty er-
They looked pretty cool when they put indigo streaks in they're hair
And I wondered how they learned to dance like all the rest of the world isn't there

But I kept it all inside my head
What I saw I left unsaid

If I could tell them
Tell them everything I see
If I could tell them
How they're everything to me
