Avaric couldn't seem to stop staring at Elphaba Thropp the entire class time. He felt so pathetic that this girl, this technical freshman could distract and infatuate him so. His only condolence was that he was not the only one who couldn't seem to keep their eyes off her. While most people would say that thing they loved most about her was her beauty, her eyes, her skin, her lips and hair, his favorite part about her was her voice. Her voice was just the prettiest thing he'd ever heard. He wanted to hear that voice nonstop for the rest of his life. Avaric's thoughts were cut off when he heard some other boys from the football team sitting next to him talking.

"I'm going to ask her out," said Jason.

"She's going to reject you." said Ben.

"Hey," said Avaric, "You are not asking her out." he said, some weird feeling coming to him.

"What's it to you?" asked Jason, "Were you planning on making a go for her?"

"Maybe I was." Avaric said indignantly.

"Uh-huh." said Jason, "You don't have the guts."

**************

The fact that Avaric and Elphaba were dating, seemed to interest a great number of people, in other words, nobody could stop talking about how Avaric and Elphaba were dating. Elphaba, Avaric, Galinda, Cilla, Boq and Jason were all sitting in the cafeteria, Avaric next to Elphaba of course. All eyes seemed to be on that table.

"You'd think people would have better things to talk about." said Elphaba lightly, straightening Avaric's collar.

"Actually they don't, we are the best thing there is to talk about." Avaric chuckled. Elphaba rolled her eyes.

"Avaric, you're such a pig." Galinda flicked a meatball at him.

"Hey!" Avaric said, he turned to Elphaba, "As my girlfriend, isn't it your duty to defend me from bully's like her?"

"Nah, you are a pig." Elphaba laughed and flicked the meatball off his shirt. It landed on Boq. Boq of course, ate it.

"Well thanks a lot Miss Elphaba," Avaric said sarcastically, crossing his arms.

"I didn't say there was a problem with that." Elphaba grinned. Avaric laughed and kissed her. He was so happy now. Everything in his life was working out perfectly. He had great friends, a star spot on the football team, the scholarship was practically his, he was making the grades and best of all, he had Elphaba, the most beautiful amazing girl he'd ever met. She loved him and he loved her.

"Alright, PDA, break it up, break it up." Cilla said, flicking another meatball at Avaric.

"Hey! Why is everyone flicking food at me?" asked Avaric. Jason, Boq, Cilla, Galinda and Elphaba all exchanged mischievous glances before pelting Avaric with their meatballs.

************

After school, Avaric walked Elphaba home, their hands interlocked, swinging between them. Since Elphaba started dating Avaric, she didn't include Nessa as much anymore, Nessa just slipped her mind. For this, Nessa hated Avaric, she hated Galinda, and Cilla and all of Elphaba's friends, so really, Nessa hated practically everyone. She was bitter and unpleasant to be around. Frex got frustrated with her more often, and even Elphaba would get frustrated with her little sister.

Elphaba and Avaric reached the mansion and they stood at the doorstep. Avaric took her other hand.

"You know, tomorrow after the game, there's going to be a party at my place." said Avaric.

"Now what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn't come?" asked Elphaba, kissing him lightly, "And I'll be at the game too, don't worry."

"Good." said Avaric, grinning. He kissed her again, but was they broke apart by a loud clearing of the throat. They both turned to see Frex in the doorway, a smirk on his face. He seemed he was trying not to smile while he gave them the speech.

"I don't believe I have had the pleasure of meeting you young man." said Frex, sticking his hand for Avaric to shake, "Mind telling me why your mouth was all over my daughter?"

"Um, sir, I'm Avaric, and I'm um...dating Elphaba, your daughter...and uh..." Avaric stuttered.

"I'll see you tomorrow." Elphaba said quickly giving him a quick hug.

"Yeah, bye." said Avaric, kissing her cheek nervously before sprinting away, his heart in his throat. Elphaba looked at Frex who was staring after Avaric, a smirk on his face. She slowly crept passed him, she almost made it through---

"Wait a minute..." Frex said, turning around to face her, "How long has this been going on?"

"Um....a while." said Elphaba, "Since the beginning of the school year pretty much."

"Why didn't you tell me?" asked Frex, sounding angry, but smiling.

"Well...it would've been awkward." said Elphaba, as though it should have been obvious.

"Know it wouldn't have!" Frex said.

"Dad, is this awkward?" asked Elphaba, "Yes, it is. So, I'm going to go now...." Elphaba gave her father a quick peck on the cheek before quickly dashing up to her bedroom to do her beloved homework.
