A/N: I like Galinda better than Glinda, so don't kill me

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

I hated my sister. She was perfect! She had the perfect black hair that held her face just right. She had the perfect tone of skin: green. It allowed her to wear beautiful black gowns that showed off her perfect hair and perfect black eyes. She had the perfect voice, too. Did I mention she was going to be playing the female antagonist in the school musical alongside her perfect best friend. Her best friend happened to have the lead and would be working alongside the most perfect of all things, one of my sister's friends as well, Boq. I smile just thinking about him, but scowl shortly after. Stupid Galinda was going to get to KISS Boq live on stage! With a million witnesses! Well, maybe I'm over exaggerating, but there will be witnesses and that's enough. Boq has the lead male part, and he will most likely succeed in amazing the audience with his charm, good looks, and... that's not the point. The point is Galinda and Boq are going to kiss, and I can't do anything about it! My sister walks by with Galinda.

"Hi, Nessa!" The blonde waves, smiling sweetly.

I try not to scowl. "Hi, Galinda." I move my arm in a robotic form, pasting a smile on my face.

"Isn't it great we all have parts in the play!" She gushes. "Nessa, you're going to make the cutest little fairy!" Because Young Lurline is such an important chaacter... I have, what, four scenes? One maybe two songs? Then I'm in the chorus the rest of the show, long forgotten.

"Thank you." I bite my lip. "You'll be great as Deanna, and Elphaba," I turn to my sister, "the wicked Spurella will be perfect for you."

I was saved by the bell.

"Oops! We have to fly Madame Morrible gives no mercy to tardiness." Galinda frowns a bit, as if she ha more to say. Like how great it's going to be to kiss Boq. How so many people will see it. How it will be the start of their happy relationship.

"Horrible Morrible." Elphaba said softly. The two girls laugh and walk off.

I head to my class, but am stopped by a short boy in one of my classes. He has glasses, curly brown hair, big brown eyes, and a checkered shirt. Another nerd. "Hello, Thomson." I nod, with a friendly smile on my face.

"H-hello, M-Miss... Nessarose." He stammers, his voice ridiculously laughable, though I stay calm.

"I really should be heading to class." I start to roll in the other direction, but he stops me.

"Wait!" I turn around, patiently letting him finish. "I... I brought you t-this rose, because of your name. A-and the flower itself is like you, beautiful b-but fragile, hence the thorns..." Thomson hands me the rose, which is in a nice little plastic holder.

I try not to sigh. "Thank you, Thomson." I smile. "It's a lovely gesture." The boy nods a bit and runs off.

I groan and toss the flower in the nearest trash can. Another nerd trying to win my love. I thought Thomson was different though. We were lab partners for three whole days, and his behavior never changed once. Why do all the GEEKS like me? I sigh and wheel myself over to the door to my class. Stupid wheelchair. I can't wait for next week...

I get a ride home from school with Elphaba and her perfect boyfriend... and his driver. All I can hear is the sound of them swapping spit. Occasionally, they'd mutter each other's names, but that was basically it. I looked out, the window and still saw them through the reflection. Though, after a bit of daydreaming, instead of Elphaba and Fiyero, I see Galinda and Boq. My eyes begin to well up with tears. Curse my overactive imagination! I bite my lip, but that doesn't help. I look at the floor in front of me, my red converse sneakers kicking slowly.

"Nessa?" A voice asks. I look up and see that Elphaba's loving-perfect-sister side comes back to the world. "Are you okay?"

"NO! Because that blonde bimbo is going to steal MY Boq! Before I even get my hands on him!" My mind screams. I nod slowly.

"You're crying." Fiyero says, looking at me now as well. Wow, you noticed? Because it's not already obvious that I have tears staining my pale face.

"Really?" I ask sarcastically, my voice heavier.

"Nessa..." Elphaba puts a hand on my shoulder.

"Don't 'Nessa' me! I'm fine!" I snap. I really shouldn't blame Elphaba, she's not trying to be perfect; that's just how she was born. I shouldn't blame Galinda either. It's not like SHE of all people would know I had a crush on Boq. Please, I never told anyone. "So..." I muse, playing with my window button. "Play rehearsals start tomorrow."

Fiyero scowls. "Don't mention it. That drama teacher is psycho! She put me as the Grumpy Traveler even though my performance of 'Too Sexy' brought the house down."

I sweatdropped at the memory. "I'm sure you'll do fine." Elphaba rolls her eyes. I say nothing, and let them get back to the couple stuff I secretly long for...

Mmmm'k, so I guess this is what you call the prologue. It's in Nessarose's point of view, obviously. Basically you get that she's bummed out, right? People tell me if you like it! I'm going to BED! It's midnight so...
