Chapter 1

"MUMSIE!" yelled Morticia Morrible as she barged into her mother's office. Her mother quickly jumped from her desk and ran to hug her. "Oh Morci, dear I didn't think you were coming for another week or two?"

"Well plans changed."

"But I haven't had time to prepare for your arrival. I barely finished your schedule." She said handed her daughter the freshly printed schedule form her desk.

Morci looked at it for a minute then smiled. "Good job, mother. It's just as I like it.

Morrible breathed out a sigh of relief. "I hoped you would, dearest. Now to deal with your rooming assignments, since the closest room to my room is the room of miss Nessarose and she if without a roommate I was thinking of putting you too together."

"That's fine mother."

Her mother smiled, happy to have pleased her. "Then come with me and I'll show you your new room." She lead her out of her office and to the left where they came to the door. Morrible knocked on the door to alert Nessarose of their presence.

"Yes?" Nessarose said as she opened the door to her room.

"Miss Nessarose this is your new roommate my daughter Morticia Morrible."

"Please to make your acquaintance, Nessarose."

"Call me Nessa." She said meekly. She opened the door and let them in. The room wasn't too big but had just enough room to fit two beds, two nightstands, two desks and a couch facing a small T.V.

"Is this the size of all the rooms?" Morci asked in disgust.

"This is actually one of the largest rooms." Morrible responded with a smile. "Now I'll let you girls get acquainted.

"Can you show me around the school?" Asked Morci with a smile as soon as Morrible had left.

"Ok." Nessa said quietly.

It was a beautiful day when Elphaba was just getting back from the library. She looked at the sky and smiled. It was days like this that she forgot her schoolwork, her family problem and her constant struggle with being green and just rejoiced in the nature. She probably wouldn't even have noticed her sister rolling by if she hadn't shouted her name.

"Elphaba!" Nessarose cried. Elphaba turned around to see Nessarose rolling along behind her trailed a girl with dark hair and eyes that she didn't recognize.

"Hi Nessa," She said with a smile as she ran down to see her sister. Her sister was one of the few people that could get a smile out of her the others being her best friend Galinda, her boyfriend Fiyero and their friend Boq. "Who's your new friend?" She asked.

"My names Morci." The girl said.

"This is Elphaba, my sister." Nessa explained.

"Pleased to make your acquaintance." She said. Elphaba couldn't put her finger on it but something about this girl seemed….off.

"Nessa can I speak to you in private?" Elphaba asked.

"Sure," said Nessa as she wheeled her chair to where her and Elphaba could speak alone. "What is it?"

"I don't know why but something about this girl feels wrong."

"I don't see what you mean. She seems perfectly friendly to me."

"I don't trust her." Elphaba said bluntly.

"But Elphaba what's not to trust I mean she's Morrible's daughter for Oz's sake.

"That gives me even more reason to be on my guard Nessa. I don't trust Morrible one bit. Don't get to close to her okay."

"Elphaba! You can't choose whom I'm friends with! I choose my own friends and its going to be really annoying if we're not friends seeing as we're roommates."

"You're roommates?" Billons of possibilities swarmed through her head. Why did Morrible put them in the same room? Did she want something from Nessa? Did she want Nessa to tell her something about her?

"Elphaba, calm down. I'll be fine. If anything happens I'll tell you, okay?"

"Okay," Elphaba reluctantly agreed. "but if anything feels strange or if you ever feel like something is wrong tell me immediately okay?"

"Okay." Nessa agreed. "Now don't you have a test or something to study for?"

"Of course." Elphaba said with a grin. "See you at dinner, okay?"

"Okay." And with that Elphaba left to her room to finish studying for her science exam.

"What's wrong with your sister?"

"She's just a little overprotective, that's all."

"No I meant why is she green? I mean you aren't."

"We um- we don't actually know she was just born that way. Why?" Nessa asked thinking about what Elphaba had said earlier.

"Just wondering." Morci responded with a grin.
