ELPHABA'S POV
"So, are you going to the OzDust tonight?" I asked my roommate.
"Maybe. A friend of mine invited me, but I don't know if I'll go, I don't have anything to wear," Eponine said.
"Same," I said. There was a knock on the door, and I got up to answer it. There was a blonde man standing on the other side.
"Is Eponine here?" he asked.
"Yeah," I said. "Who are you?"
"I'm Enjolras," he said. Eponine walked over. I noticed him staring at me.
"Hey, Enjolras," she said.
"Hey. I was wondering if, maybe, you wanted to go to Fiyero's party with me tonight?" Enjolras asked.
"Oh," Eponine said. "Um, sure." I looked at her, confused. She looked at me, nodding slightly.
"Well, we better start getting ready," I said. "I'm going tonight, so we'll see you there!" I shut the door, even though he looked like he was going to say something else.
"Elphaba! What was that?!" Eponine shrieked.
"He was staring," I said.
"No he wasn't! He's a freaking revolutionary! He pays attention to every single detail!" she yelled.
"He was staring at me!" I yelled. Eponine rolled her eyes, and grabbed her shawl.
"I'm going out! I have to find something to wear," she said, opening the door. I stepped out and watched her go, actually catching up with the blonde rebel. I rolled my eyes and went back inside. I found something to wear, and got ready for the party. Soon, there was a knock on the door. I opened it, and the man from the library was standing there.
"Oh," I said. "Hi. I didn't expect to see you again anytime soon." He chuckled.
"Myself either," he said. I looked confused, and he said "But, I decided to stop by and see if, maybe, you wanted to hang out tonight? I'm not going to Fiyero's party, so..."
"I'd love to," I said. "I was going, but I didn't really want to. I was only going because everyone else was going." He chuckled, and Eponine came back. She walked in, and looked at me.
"Should I pick you up, or will we be meeting somewhere?" Erik asked.
"Whichever is good for you," I said.
"Then I'll-" Eponine shut the door on him.
"What was that?" I asked.
"He was staring," she said. I glared, and opened the door. Erik was walking down the hallway.
"Erik!" I called. He turned, and came back.
"I was going to say I'll pick you up here, if that's ok," he said.
"That's wonderful. I'll see you then!" I said. He nodded, and left. I shut the door.
"Did you have a good time with the rebel?" I asked.
"Revolutionary," she corrected. "And yes."
"Enjoy the party," I said. She glared, and I put on my blue frock. "I'm hanging out with Erik."
"The guy with the mask?" she asked.
"No, the green man on campus!" I said sarcastically. She rolled her eyes. She finished getting dressed.
An hour later, there was a knock on the door. I opened it, and saw Erik and Enjolras standing there.
"Ready?" Enjolras asked Eponine, but still staring at me.
"Yep!" she said, stepping out.
"And you?" Erik asked me.
"Of course," I said. He offered his arm, and I slipped my hand in the crook of his elbow. We walked down to the café at Shiz.
"So, what are you interested in?" he asked.
"I'm taking Madame Morrible's sorcery seminar. She saw me use my powers the other day. Although, it was an accident," I replied.
"Interesting. I'm taking a few music courses here at Shiz," he said.
"No way! I love music!" I exclaimed. "Whenever my father wasn't home, Nessa liked it when I'd play something for her on the piano."
"Why didn't you ever play when your father was home?" he inquired.
"He didn't really want me to touch it. He said I would end up destroying it one day because I was different. He thought everything I touched was destroyed," I said.
"That's horrible!" Erik exclaimed.
"Yeah. But Nessa loved it so much, I had to play for her sometimes, and she would keep it a secret," I said.
"That's good. Hey, maybe I could get the practice room and you could play for me," he suggested.
"That's a great idea!" I said. We talked for a few hours, and I had a great time. He didn't even seem to care that I was green.
"Actually, if you'd like, I could get us into the practice room... I mean, I know how to get in there and the building should be closed by now..." he said.
"I'd love that!" I exclaimed. For some reason, I wasn't nervous around him. We left the room, and a blonde girl, presumably Galinda, ran over to me and handed me a hat.
"I saw this and thought of you!" she exclaimed. "Isn't it adorable?!" She saw me put it on and said "You should totally come to the party and wear that!"
"Okay..." I said.
"So, see you there?" she asked.
"Maybe," I said. She ran off.
"Do you want to go to that party?" Erik asked.
"I'm tempted to because I've never been to a party," I replied.
"I went to a masquerade and I completely ruined it, but I'll take you to this party if you'd like," he said.
"I think I would like that."
