Expectation
Fiyero had expected Shiz to be just like the countless other schools he'd been to. He would show up, have some fun, then move carelessly on to the next place.
Meeting Elphaba threw everything he thought he knew out the window. Rather than the dance through life he'd always found so easy, he began to stumble, lose his footing. The music kept changing tempo, keeping him on his toes, and he couldn't keep up. He couldn't smooth-talk around her. Oz, sometimes he could hardly talk at all.
Compared to everything else, having green skin was the least of her surprises.
