I wrote this purely because I was bored and felt like writing. Anyone who has read Milk Flowers I have written chapters 3, 4, &5 so I need to write 2. This chapter is mainly expostion stuff, nothing to exciting...yet! Dun Dun Dun!

Disclaimer: I own a wicked CD/Shirt/ sheet music/ grimmiere etc. but not the whole story.

It had been a terribly long night. But the day was finally over, no more midterms. That was all that Elphaba could think about, no more midterms. Elphaba took off her shoes and slid them under the bed. She put her hair up in a ponytail and sat on the bed with a book, ready to go in another world.

Elphaba had read a few pages and someone knocked on the door. This didn't surprise Elphaba Galinda could never keep track of her key. Elphaba shouted from her bed, "It's open."

To Elphaba's surprise it wasn't Galinda at the door, it was the young prince Fiyero all dressed to go somewhere. She had made her peace with him and they were now 'friends' or as close as two people could be when everyone else around them hated the other.

Elphaba was startled by Fiyero and sat up erect in her bed. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to disturb you," Fiyero said seeing how uncomfortable Elphaba was, "I was just looking for Galinda."

Elphaba grinned a little and said, "You didn't disturb me…. Um… Galinda's out ---I don't know where she is but she should be back soon."

"Right, of course that would be just like Galinda wouldn't it, never being there, EVER!" Fiyero shouted as he paced back in fort across the small cramped dorm room.

"Fiyero," Elphaba folded her book and Fiyero looked at her, "You can wait here for her, I don't mind." Fiyero laid back on Galinda's bed, he was obviously very use to being there.

After a few moments of awkward silence Fiyero said, "I shouldn't have laid my problems on you like that, I'm sorry."

Without looking up she said, "Its fine, really people do it all the time." It was true Elphaba got stuck with hearing Galinda's problems at two o'clock in the morning at least twice a week. Everyone liked to open up to the green girl.

Fiyero sat up and looked at Elphaba, "Gosh where is she?" the prince looked at his watch and then at the alarm clock comparing the two times.

"Don't be so possessive! Whatever happened to playing hard-to-get?" Elphaba said in a tough-love kind of way.

"I guess you're- hey what's that?" Fiyero was looking directly at a picture shoved in between Elphaba's mattresses. She was always very careful to hide the picture but somehow a corner of it had come out of her hiding place in between her two mattress.

Fiyero grabbed the picture before Elphaba could shove it back under her bed. "Hey this is a picture of you and a-."

Elphaba interrupted him, "I know what's in the picture, I was there!" Elphaba thought of the horrors that Fiyero could cause with the picture, he could hurt her alot.

She could see the picture now even as it is in Fiyero's hands. Her head laying on the mans shoulder with his arm around her waist in a delicate way. The guy in the picture was a little dark, slightly misunderstood just like Elphaba.

Fiyero looked up from the picture, "Wow, Elphaba, I had no idea. It looks so romantic. Who was he?" Fiyero looked at Elphaba and his stomach churned as she opened her mouth to speak.

"His name was Jais, I guess that you could say we were…….I don't know--- it doesn't matter." Elphaba stood up from the bed and went over to Galinda's dresser and looked in the mirror.

Fiyero stood up behind her and looked into her eyes in a friendly manner, "Elphaba, it does matter. If you care about something or someone then you can never let them get away. But Elphaba, why didn't you tell anyone?"

Elphaba looked up at Fiyero, "Think of what would happen, Fiyero, think I know it may be hard but just THINK! 'Oh the green girl has a lover, he must have been paid, oh what a charity case'. I won't go through that kind of humiliation, again."

"Again, Elphaba what happened?"

I hope that you liked it, please review. Any suggestions would be great!
