Fiyero's POV
"Well I'd better get to safety." I said still looking into the hazel eyes as Elphaba withdrew her hand from my face. I stood up and realized what I had said and quickly corrected myself. "Get… get the cub to safety I mean." I said quickly picking up the frightened little cub's cage and running away. I heard Elphaba call after me but I didn't listen my head was spinning. That's why it took me a couple of seconds to realize I had run in the wrong direction. I ran past her once again. I had the strongest urge to go back and just be with her I have no idea why. I ignored the urge and just kept running trying to clear my head. The same question replaying in my head. What just happened?
Elphaba's POV
What just happened? I asked myself my heart was pounding hard in my chest. The saddest part is I knew why. It was because of Fiyero. I wanted to run after him and just wanted to be with him. To know he liked me back.
No it could never be he could never love me so don't wish don't start. I told myself sternly. I went to bed that night dreaming the impossible like so many do wishing for what can't be. The next day I was walking down the halls thinking of what happened yesterday when May walked up said "Hi." This confused me. "May how did you know it was me?" May gave a kind of a strange smile. "I can tell who's who by the way they walk I listen for people's footsteps." How did she do that? I asked in my mind. "May no offense but you're kind of creepy sometimes." I said with a little laugh. May smiled widely and laughed a little too. Responding with a soft. "I know," So want to head to the cafeteria and just talk and hang out?'' she asked. I said yes I needed to get Fiyero out of my head. Maybe just talking to May would be a good distraction. Of course I had no such luck because as soon as we sat down at the table. May asked "What's wrong." I should have known she would be able to know something was up. I hesitated in telling her what had happened with Fiyero.
Then again May was my friend maybe it would help if I talked to her? I was about to begin when we were approached by some average mean girls they seemed extra vicious today. "Hey Elphaba I guess you're lucky you found someone who can't see how hideous you are. Then again I feel bad for her it must be hard not to see how stupid she looks right now." You two deserve each other." and then she added her voice dripping with sarcasm and venom. I hope you're happy!" her and her little followers went off cackling like the witches they are.
I sighed deeply ignoring the nasty girls comment and turned back to May. I was sad to see that the girl's comment had gotten to May as a tear slide down her pale face. "Ah come on May don't let them see you cry." I said when I ever got insulted I never cried I mostly just ignored them. "No." May responded sadly wiping away a tear. I have feelings whether they think so or not they deserve to see that they hurt me." I had gotten use to insults so I never really felt the sting anymore. "Even if they are jerks you shouldn't cry because they insulted us." She had only let one tear slip but that one tear showed the popular people they had won. "Oh you think I was crying because of their insult? Please I was crying because I couldn't see where to punch." I smiled May would say something like that.
" So you were saying before we were rudely interrupted thatsomething was bugging you." She asked. Yes I finally decided I should talk to May about Fiyero. I told her the whole story. May smiled widely. "Looks like someone found that special side of Fiyero." "What no." I yelled. I knew I liked him but he would never like me back. So I might as well just push back these feelings. She looked like she was about to ask another question so quickly I said. "Well I have to go head to class." What do you have May?" I asked. "This is my free period so I'll find something to do see ya later." she said not turning towards me." I wondered what she would do. Were there a lot of options when you're blind?
Fiyero's POV
I was walking down the halls of the school. I wasn't really paying attention where I was going though my head kept thinking back to a shining pair of hazel eyes. That's probably the reason I crashed into someone. I had managed to keep my balance but the girl I knocked into wasn't so lucky. It was the girl that hung out with Elphaba. Ugg I got to stop thinking of her. Watch were you're going Fiyero." She yelled. Yeah I remembered her wasn't she the blind girl I insulted? Remembering she was blind I asked how she knew it was me. "I can tell who's who's by their footsteps." She said while I helped her up. "That's kind of creepy." I told her. She smiled a weird smile like she knew something I didn't. "You know Elphaba said the same thing." There was her name again. She was everywhere! I think the blind girl's name was like Bay or Fay. No that wasn't it…..MAY that was her name. May smiled even wider and leaned in and whispered. "I know you like her." "What I DO NOT like the Green Bean!" I needed to prove it to her that I didn't like Elphaba. I know! Flirt with May like there's no tomorrow. "So how about we forget about Elphaba and I take you out for coffee." I said throwing on my flirting smile but took it off when I remembered she couldn't see it. "Come on Fiyero don't try and pull that crude with me. Elphaba told me about what happened between you two while you rescued the cub." Oh no May knew too much.
I tried to deny it. "So what if she did tell you? Nothing happened between us and." May interrupted me saying "Fiyero do you want to talk about it?" she asked sincerely. I was about to decline when another flash of those hazel eyes went through my head. I sighed reluctantly. Maybe talking to someone would get rid of these…things that were happening to me. We began strolling through the halls. It was quiet except for May taping her stick against the floors. I started talking about what happened and actually went on for quite a while. I told her everything even more than I wanted to. It all just flowed out and by the time I was done we were sitting in the lobby(Author's note let's pretend Shiz has a place where the kids just hang out and sit and stuff that's what the lobby is in my story). "See you clearly like her." She said smirking. No I could ever like her never in a million years. "May I do not like Elphaba I have it made with the life I have now." I said to her and myself. "Oh yeah you have it made all right. You have it made up. Made up to everyone around you and to yourself." "Pssh no I don't." I said a hint of doubt in my voice. "I don't like her." I said yet again. May sounded frustrated when said. "I CAN prove it to you." Ha I couldn't prove it myself I'd like to see her try. "Fine." I said "hold out your hands." She ordered. "What are you a palm reader now?" I asked sarcastically. "Shut up Fiyero." She said seriously. She placed her fingers on my wrist then she said one word. "Elphaba." I mean the images from yesterday flashed in my mind. I don't know what she expected to happen though. She smiled though like she had just found out a secret and she said triumphantly. "There you're pulse just quickened at the sound of her name."
" You. Like. Her." She said as if she were explaining something to a small child. No my pulse didn't speed up did it? I put a hand over my heart. There it was pumping faster than it had before. That was crazy. Did that I mean I liked her? I was still thinking when I remembered May was still there. She was smirking very widely. I was confused and annoyed that she was right. So very stupidly I sputtered out. "You uhh that um that was stupid!" I yelled at her. May shook her head and said. "Fiyero come on just admit you like her. You're acting like a child." She finished. I was still confused and trying to sort things in my head so I responded quickly and again stupidly. "I AM NOT ACTING!" I shouted then hurried away from May (Author's note I used the quote from PSYCH the best show in the world). I realized what I had said and I realize it sounded stupid but I didn't care. I was wondering did I like her? More importantly if I did like her and May was the blind one why could she see I liked her when I couldn't even see it? Maybe I did like her and should tell her that. My heart seemed to beat a little faster at that thought. But in my mind it screamed "Are you crazy? You don't like her! Give it a couple of days and it'll be gone. Look you have such a good reputation of being the player here why ruin it? My shallow side made a convincing point. So now what should I? Do I wondered. "Go to her you know you want to!" My heart sang. As I remembered the way she grabbed my hand when we were rescuing the cub. I still felt the warmth of her hand as if it were still gripping my hand. "Stay away from her!" said the shallow part of my mind. Well this was getting me nowhere. It also didn't help that Elphaba was walking towards me that minute.
