Dear Evan Hansen:
Today is going to be a good day and here's why. Because today, today is your second day as an apprentice park ranger!
Yeah. Things went pretty, um, pretty well, I, I, I think. The ranger, Adam Maxwell. Remember when Jared called you a stalker because you read his bio and did an internet search on him? You didn't think you were a stalker, but Jared probably knows what he's talking about.
Yesterday, you ran into Connor Murphy at the supermarket. He looked you up and down, and you, you were wearing your favorite jacket, the gray jacket, and Connor said, "Nice jacket." And you were pretty happy because that meant he liked it, but then you realized that that wasn't a good thing because people made fun of the way Connor dressed and if he liked it that meant other people didn't but, well, you didn't really give much of a shit.
But, the ranger. Adam. You asked him lots of questions, but they, like, were, like, smart, intelligent, smart questions, not dumb I-don't-know-what-I'm-doing questions. Because, not to brag, but you do know what you're doing. Not just anyone gets accepted into the apprentice ranger program. Right?
Jared sent you a postcard. It wasn't much, it just said, "I bet I'm having a lot more fun than you, Tree Boy". At least he sent you a postcard. You've got a good friend. A best friend.
Some days, it just feels like things can't go on the way they have been. Like yeah, right now there's a rhythm, but it's going to stop very soon and you don't want to see what's on the other side. It's not going to be a pleasant sight. It might be a sight that tears you apart.
Anyway, that's all for today. It's short, yeah, and I'll try to write you longer letters, but I've got to go to work now!
Sincerely,
Me
