Lara Voss: sighs heavily Y-you s-see this? The lyrics... they d-don't m-make sense for h-him.
take a look at the lyrics. Huh. They do seem off. Who are they attributed to?
I d-don't know. I've never heard of the artist before. Maybe it's just some n-new indie band. But that doesn't explain why he has this song on his phone bill...
I looked at it. "What do you mean?"
I point to the lyrics I mean these lyrics. They're all about being alone and heartbroken, but he's one of the most popular kids in school. He's always surrounded by friends. There's no way he wrote this.
He looks at her I don’t understand what you mean by that
"Look closer." She points to one of the lines, a poem about love and heartbreak. "It's not his style. It's someone else's handwriting, someone with a different kind of love and heartbreak in mind."
puzzled expression What do you mean, Lara? Who's 'him'?
points to the song lyrics on the phone H-he's been sending me song lyrics as text messages for days, but they don't make any sense for him. He's a jock, I know he isn't interested in poetry.
I read it. "Why does your phone bill rhyme?"
I k-know, r-right? It's j-just so weird. I t-thought at first it was j-just a typo or s-something, but n-no, it's everywhere. His texts, his calls, his b-bill... e-everything.
I glance at them quickly before looking back at her. "So what? He's probably just going through some emo phase or something."
shakes her head I d-don't think so. He's a jock. Jocks aren't into t-this kind of music. And the way he acts... I swear, he's hiding something.
I know what it means..i sigh heavily
looks at you You do? So, why does he keep sending them?
he looks at her confused what do you mean babe?
her eyes narrow These lyrics... they're from a s-song he downloaded. But h-he's never mentioned liking that band. What i-is he hiding from me?
she looks at the lyrics huh? these seem normal to me…
N-no, you're n-not understanding! This i-isn't his style at a-all! Look h-here, this song is about love and passion...
she points to a specific line in the lyrics
I look at them closely. What do you mean by that? Who’s “him”?
she points to the lyrics on her phone
Him - as in, Evan Hansen. This is his song. But it's all wrong. I'm trying to figure out what's going on here.
your best friend since kindergarten looks at you confused what are you talking about lara?
looks at him with a frown I'm talking about his phone bill. There's a song lyric on it that doesn't match his personality at all. It's suspicious.
