Hey people! Soo...chapter 4! Yaay!
One they were down at the Activities Fair, Nessa went off to join the Shiz Assembly for the Unnamed God, leaving Elphaba alone.
Staring at the rows and rows of tables, clubs, fraternities and sororities, Elphaba sighed. She was never going to find a group to join at this rate…
Meanwhile, Fiyero and Boq had headed down to Activities Fair as well.
"So…Boq, what groups are you gonna sign up for?"
"There's only one group we're joining, my friend." Boq said, walking towards the far end of the campus.
Elphaba was walking around, looking at several different clubs. Most of the students turned her down though, because of her skin coloring. But this was college. She had to find something to join.
She was headed for the book club's booth, when a short, blonde, senior girl stopped her.
"Hey! Would you like to join the Shiz Songbirds?"
Elphaba looked questioningly at the girl.
"Umm…the what?"
Another senior, who looked a little more fazed by Elphaba's appearance, sighed.
"Galinda, don't bother."
The senior, whose name was apparently Galinda, handed Elphaba a flyer.
"We're an accapella singing group. We do covers of songs, but we don't use any instruments. It's all from our mouths."
"Oh. Wow..." Elphaba looked over at the flyer, disinterested.
"Well…thanks…but it sounds kinda lame…no offense. And I don't sing. Sorry."
The other senior looked offended.
"Acca-scuse me? It is not!" But before she could get in any more, Elphaba had walked off in the direction of the college radio station.
Galinda and Milla looked slightly disappointed. The Songbirds were never going to get eight new members. At this rate, they would be lucky if they got one…
Meanwhile, Boq was watching another accapella group; the Treble-Cleffs.
"This is it. The coolest group on campus. Well…excluding sports teams, fraternities and groups of actual cool people…"
Fiyero, nodded.
"Synchronized nerd singing…this is great."
"I'm gonna go introduce myself. H-How's your singing?"
The Treble-Cleffs began singing Dazz Band's "Whip It" and Fiyero starting singing along.
"We both are here to have the fun, so let it whip…"
"Cool. Okay, I'm going for it. Everybody be cool. It's just a normal day…" Boq grinned, before taking a deep breath and approaching the Lead singer of the Treble-Cleffs; Avaric.
"Uh…H-Hi. I'm Boq. Lemme just say, I saw you guys perform at a Mall of America like three years ago. Totally changed my life. I have not stopped thinking about you since."
Avaric scoffed.
"Um…thank you?"
"A-And Avaric? Huge fan by the way. Your arrangement of Lovin' Spoonful's "Do You Believe In Magic" inspired me to become a certified illusionist."
Avaric laughed.
"Wow. Okay, the smell of your weird is actually affecting my vocal cords…so I'm gonna ask you to scoot…"
"But why don't we just exchange emails, and then totally hang out right now, together?"
"Uh, no. DEFINATE no. What a nerd alert…"
Boq trudged back over to Fiyero, who was standing a ways away.
"Well?"
Boq looked defeated.
"Do you think I came on too strong?"
...YES!
"N-Noo…no, not at all."
"Should I have done one of my tricks?" Boq asked, pulling out his gerbil from his sleeve.
Fiyero shook his head.
"Umm…no. Maybe you can try facebook messaging or something?"
"Good idea."
Please review! Or else...
