"Hangover?" 
                          
"Yeah... I guess I got drunk with Jared last night." 
                          
"Really..."
                          
"It was little funny, I gotta say." He's making stuff up at this point. He wants Connor to be jealous.
                          
"Yeah? And what's drunk Hansen like then?" 
                          
"Very talkative and more out going actually." Jared has some marks on his collar bone that he didn't know about. Conner hones in on it. He stares right at his collar line. He looks pissed. Jared gets very scared then. He fixes his clothes so it's covered. 
                          
"... Evan, do you have an answer to my question yet?" 
                          
"Uh... Yeah, I do. I- yes, Conner." he nods. 
                          
"good. I'm glad." Jared huffs. If only Evan remembered.
                          
"Then I'm assuming today's plans are on." 
                          
"Yeah, totally." 
                          
"Cool. Jared, can I have a word when we get off the bus?"
                          
"Sure. Why not?"
                          
"Great." when they get off the bus, Conner leads Jared to the side of the school building and when they're out of anyone's sight he shoves Jared up against the brick building viciously. 
                          
"Listen up, Kleinman and listen good. You fucking touch Evan again and I'll rip your goddamn limbs off."
                          
He groans in pain. "Chill Murphy. We didn't do anything." 
                          
"Sure about that?" he pulls his collar down roughly. "Looks pretty fresh to me. Get him drunk for that?"
                          
He blushes. "Absolutely not. We might have did some things but just chill out about it. He wasn't yours then."
                          
"And now he is so you keep your fucking paws off him, dick. I see how you look at him."
                          
"I know. To be honest, I like him before you even knew he existed so you can't blame me."
                          
"Watch yourself."
                          
"Will do mi hombre." Connor lets him go and shoves his hands in his pocket. Jared fixes himself and heads inside. Conner heads on in as well. From this point on, Conner HATES Jared Kleinman with a BURNING PASSION. Jared already hates Connor. Any time they pass each other in the hall, Conner makes a point of hitting him in the shoulder or tripping him or at least glaring at him. He doesn't get physical if Evan is around. Jared doesn't do anything to him back. He's too nice of a guy. He's not THAT kind of asshole. Evan is none the wiser. He ends up going home with Conner later like he promised. Jared already has his trombone out when he comes a cross Evan and Conner. When they go to walk out he plays the sad "wah wah waaaaaaaaaaah" Luckily, Jared has other friends that care about him. Namely the Hispanic boy blowing up his phone.

Ja: [Im sure he'll still do that. We can still hang out I just can't.... touch him. Or as Connor Murphy said, "keep my dirty paws off him or he'll tear my limbs out"]
