Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part III

[bigdamnprincipal]

More tables and chairs had been set up further out on the lawn, where there weren't as many trees. That meant there wasn't as much shade either, so these tables had more fans on them to make up for the difference. Still, it was bound to be quieter over here than closer to the main area.

"But you're not alone now, right?" Bobby asked. "I mean - I'll be your friend. Um, if you want."

Elphaba gave him a little smile. "I suppose I could want that," she said. "Your brother wasn't kidding when he said you had boundless enthusiasm."

Bobby rubbed his hand through his hair sheepishly. "I just like people, you know? But now that we're friends, you can mock me about it if you have to."

"It's a good quality," Elphaba said, her expression serious. "I wasn't mocking you. I just think that it might not be a good idea to make friends with everyone so fast."

You never knew what people were really like, not on first meeting.

"Most people are nice if you're nice to them," Bobby pointed out

"I wish that were true," Elphaba said. "Some people don't give you the chance."

"No," he agreed. "I guess not. But sometimes it's worth it, you know? I'd rather the one person not be nice than lose someone as a friend cause I'm not."

"That wasn't exactly what I meant," Elphaba said, looking away. She also didn't like the fact that the boy was probably right. "But you're right, being nice to others is rarely the wrong choice."

Bobby smiled at her. "What did you mean?"

"It doesn't matter," Elphaba said, not really wishing to get into it. "But I do hope no one ever takes advantage of your trust, Bobby."

"Thanks, Elphaba," Bobby replied, giving her a little smile. "And - if you want to talk about it some day, I'm here, okay?"
