I'm really sorry, I know that this took a really, really long time to update.
"Hey," Fiyero said nervously.
"Hi," Elphaba said also slightly nervous. They both stood their minutes just standing there and staring at each other.
"Well," Fiyero started. "We should probably be going now. We are already late."
"Okay," Elphaba walked out and shut the door behind her. The two students walked down the long, dark hallway in silence. Neither was sure on what they should say. Fiyero was thinking very hard about how he would explain this to his friends. While Elphaba just had no idea what to say. She had never been good at talking with people, let alone someone who had actually invited her to a party. She really wanted to ask Fiyero if he had taken any falls lately and if that was why he was taking her, but surprisingly, she was able to control herself.
Finally Fiyero grew tired of the silence and said, "You look really nice Elphaba."
Elphie's eyes widened as she quickly looked down at her dress. "Thanks," She said a little unsure. Fiyero just shook his head. He should have known that she would be unsure about all of this.
When the young couple reached the ballroom that was housing the party Elphaba stopped walking. When Fiyero looked over at her he could tell that she was a little pale, or at least as pale as Elphaba could get. He squeezed her hand comfortingly. "It's going to be okay," He said. "I'll be here the entire time."
"You promise," Elphaba asked, scared.
"I promise," Fiyero continued to keep pressure on Elphie's hand as he led her into the room. As people started to notice who had just arrived, whispered started spreading across the room. This made Elphaba even more self contuse, she tried to leave again but Fiyero was stronger and kept one strong hand tightly grasped over hers. "It's okay," He whispered softly in her ear. She nodded ever so slightly before she let him lead her out into the room.
Elphaba looked over to see Galinda sitting at a table talking to Tarin. Fiyero seemed to notice where Elphie was looking because he started to walk over in that direction. Elphaba followed; at least if she was sitting with Galinda she wouldn't have to worry about no one talking to her.
When Galinda saw her best friend and her ex-boyfriend coming over she let a large smile spread across her face. "Hey guys," She said in her high pitch voice.
"Hey," Elphaba said.
"I'm going to go get some drinks." Fiyero said allowed to the group. Fiyero bent down and said something to Galinda. From what Elphaba could make out it sound a lot like, "Make sure she stays here." Elphaba shook her head, at least he somewhat knew her.
"Elphie," Galinda quickly stood up so that she could go sit next to her best friend. "I was starting to think you weren't going to show up. I mean, the party did start like half an hour ago."
"I know Galinda, Fiyero showed up late and I wasn't about to come by myself."
"Why not," Galinda asked her. "You could have came and hung out with Tarin and I."
Elphaba shook her head. Sometimes her friend could be so ignorant. She leaned over and whispered in Galinda's ear, "Sweaty, I don't think Tarin likes me very much."
"That's crazy," She said. "Of course he likes you." Elphaba just shook her head. This was going to be a very long night.
