Some of this is from the actual show. Scratch that, MOST OF IT is from the actual show. I think.
NOW BUCKLE YOUR SEAT BELTS, EVERYONE
We're gonna get some fluff.

"Zoe! Zoe!" I turned around. The girl who I was in charge of showing around the school, Christine Canigula was was running up to me, Micheal, Jared and Jeremy.
"Hang on," I said. "Yeah?"
"Well, you like theatre right?" I nodded and laughed.
"Yeah."
"Well, the school play opened. Do you wanna... audition?"
"Uh..." I hadn't really thought about that. But being in a play would be fun. "Sure! When are they?"
"November 7th. You have to sing a song and read some lines from the play."
"A-a song?" I don't know if I could do that. I sang at open mic night at a cafe, but it was on Sunday and 3 people were there, and they didn't seem to care.
"Yeah, but don't worry." She smiled brightly. "You'll do great! Okay, bye, Zoe!" And ran away. We all turned around except for Jeremy, who stood rooted to the spot.
"Jer?" Micheal asked. Nothing. Micheal smirked and grabbed his arm. "Oh yeah... Christine. Right." He looks back at us and makes the heart symbol with his hands. I smile.
"You like her?" I ask. He stayed silent before rigidly turning to me.
"What? No. Of course not. She's just. Uh. Normal."
"You sound like a robot." Me and Micheal both say.
"I have Band Rehearsal so I gotta scoot. Bye! Don't like, take over the school for her, just ask her out."

"Go ahead, Ms Murphy."
I took a deep breath and walked to the front of the room.
"Well, you see my brother, Connor has-has, well, died, and his, uh, his best friend, Evan Hansen has put together a thing called 'The Connor Project', and he-he was wondering if the Jazz Band could do a concert thing for the assembly happening on the 30th of this month. So, my question is are you all willing to, uh, do that?"
Amy Collins raised her hand." So, like a concert?" She asked. I nodded.
"Yeah, a concert."
"But we don't have any music!" Jess, my fellow guitarist and Amy's twin said.
"Oh, uh right, well, what about songs we did last year? Or- or something."
"Did you forget that we weren't here before?" Tyler Jameson said.
"N-no, of course not but-"
"It's okay, Zoe, I'll give everyone music."
"But-but the concert is in nine days-"
"I'll give them last years. It'll be easier."
-
"When's the assembly for the thing?" My father asked.
"The Connor Project." My mom responded.
"Okay, when is it?"
"Did you not know what it was?"
"I was just-"
"He's your own son!"
"Cynthia!"
