I had a request to make more one-shots like One Of The Boys, so I decided to make a series. They all take place in some random Alternate Universe and will all be inspired by songs. I won't post the lyrics because you don't necessarily have to read them (or listen to the song) in order to get the fic, but I will say the song and the artist in case you happen to be interested. Happy Readings!

Disclaimer: No, no, no I don't own it.

Song: Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were) by The Veronicas.


Revenge Is Sweeter (Than You Ever Were)

Galinda PoV

I lay curled in a ball on my perfectly pink bed. This had never happened to me before, and my heart couldn't take it. I let out a loud sigh and stood, coming out of the comfort of my warm comforter. Elphaba wasn't here and good riddance. She could be gone for as long as she wanted. Forever, even, I didn't care.

I walked outside and was greeted by the crisp fall air. Students everywhere were looking at me oddly and whispering. It was almost enough to send me back to my room, to hide in my blankets all day. No, I had to be brave and strong. I couldn't let anybody know what I was really feeling.

"Oh, Galinda, you poor dear!" Pfannee gushed when she spotted me. Milla and Shenshen were quick to follow. They fretted and cooed over me. My eyes began to tear up and I dared a sniff. They engulfed me into a group hug, chattering loudly. How I longed to go back to the days before she got me thinking. Curse my roommate!

"I've got to go." I said quickly to the girls, pulling an escape. I left quickly, dashing across the lawn. The students who were whispering and staring were getting annoying. I remember when I used to be like that. I was filled with regret at ever having been so ignorant.

I stopped in my tracks when I saw them. Elphaba and Fiyero were sitting on a bench, talking. It looked like Elphaba had been crying and Fiyero was trying to comfort her. Well, of course. Of course she needs comforting. Always the martyr, wasn't she? And what about me? I was supposed to be Galinda the Good. So why wouldn't anybody comfort me?

I wiped the tears from my eyes and marched right up to the new couple.

"Master Fiyero," I said stiffly, "May I speak with you for a moment?" I waited for his response. Elphaba looked like she wanted to say something, but I ignored her.

I resented the fact that this was partially her fault. She knew I loved him with my whole heart, my whole being. And she stole him from me.

Fiyero nodded and I lead him off to where Elphaba couldn't hear us. I didn't want to give her the satisfaction I knew she hoped for.

"How could you!" I cried, slapping his cheek hard. Fiyero looked aghast at my outburst.

"You cheat on me with… with her! And then you go on to flaunt your relationship?! You could have told me you were interested! You had all the right chances, you idiot! Why did you chose to cheat? Did you set me up? And on my birthday, too! How… how… how heartless and cruel! You don't know how mad I am at you, Fiyero Tiggular! You dragged Elphie into it, too. You could have any girl on campus, beautiful or no, so why do you chose my best friend over me? Over me!" I stared at him angrily, waiting for a response. There was none. He was staring past me, to the bench where his girlfriend now sat. I huffed loudly.

"And now you're not even listening. Do you have an idea how much pain this has caused me!? How you left me broken?" I tried guilt tripping him. It didn't work. Tears swarmed in my eyes, creating little pools.

"Why? Why her?" I whispered, desperate for a response. Why was he acting like this? We had been so close and now we were so distant. We deserved each other!

"I love her." He said simply, before walking back to Elphie.


I spent the rest of that semester in a quiet reserve. I drew back from my crowd of friends, my appearance began to lack its usual luster. My blonde curls hung tangled in a tattered array. My eyes didn't sparkle like they used to and I never spent more than five minutes on the way I looked in the morning. I hadn't uttered more than two words to my roommate. I was no longer accepted by the student population.

It seemed fate wasn't cruel enough to me. My heart shattered anytime I passed Elphaba and Fiyero, which seemed to be often.

I would walked past them on the way to dinner, watching longingly as they stole midnight kisses or clung to each other in a meaningful hug.

That could be me, my mind would say. I had to push back the thoughts or I would break down right there. I didn't have anybody to comfort me now, to hold me and kiss me. To love me. I was alone.


That was a little angsty. Aww, poor Glin-Glin. Well, I'm going to go try and post a few more chapters tonight. I feel inspired. Maybe I'll even update This Is Our Fate (which you should check out, if you haven't already -cough cough-). Review please, I want your opinions! Should I continue? Yes, no?
