This is going to be a series of diary entries, starting from Galinda's days before Shiz.
If you don't think this will work, please review and let me know!
I own nothing unfortunately.
Dear Diary,
What a day!
Started off with the usual stuff. Tutoring, strolling, sleeping. I met up with Ruby for a little while – we sat by the lake and discussed the new stable boy, a new gorgeous dress her mother bought her, hand-stitched by Munchkins. Oh, and of course what it would be like to live in the Emerald City.
But sometimes afternoons take the turn for the worst.
I was reading my book (What a Wonderful Life – such a cute book) when Momsie summoned me into the drawing room, and I found both her and Pops sitting there, and they looked so serious I was tempted to run out of the room. But I was a lady, I knew better. I managed to keep my head up and smile.
They made me sit down between them, and they both took my hand. I was beginning to fear the worst. Maybe one of my ponies had died? Maybe they were cancelling the annual ball? Maybe we were selling the house?
But it was worse. Much worse.
They asked if I wanted to attend University. Shiz University. Apparently they have connections.
It was true, its time for me to start thinking about my future, and this is one of the finest schools in Oz, but I don't know how I could stand moving away from my parents and the house for so long! And what about my friends? I mean, of course I'll make new ones down there, but I'll never see them anymore! Especially Ruby – she's like my sister! Will we just lose what we have?
And what about Finnick? I've noticed him making strange eyes at me, and is always continuously smiling when I look at him, which tells me he's interested. What if I want to start something up with him?
Am I just finding excuses not to go? I mean, would I really go out with Finnick?
I wonder if there will be any guys down there? My parents have been indicating that they would like a boy in the house, someone who they would approve of if I marry.
They said it's up to me, but I know they expect me to accept. They want me to be just like them, sophisticated, educated, happy.
But would this make me happy? That question has been running through my mind all day.
I even wrote a pro's and con's list. Basically it would be wonderful to accept. I think I'm just scared of a fresh start. I'm used to my life here, not the big world. True, Ruby and I have been dreaming of living in the Emerald City for our entire childhoods, and Shiz is pretty close, but it's still a humugonous step forward!
The truth is, I'm just plain scared. Scared and alone.
But I must say yes.
I must not disappoint my parents.
And I'm sure, if I don't like it, I can just pull out, right?
I hope.
Its only short, but its a diary.
Please review and let me know if it's worth continuing!
