Green Emerald

Chapter 1: A life changed…

Elphaba couldn't believe it as she stared out of the window. What was wrong with her? Hadn't she seen the consequences of making mistakes? Had she not watched her mother while her heart was broken in a million pieces? Who was this girl that was staring out of the window, because it was sure as hell not the same person she wanted to be. Why had she been this foolish? Alcoholic beverages were not something she liked. In fact, if Glinda hadn't suggested drinking a beer, she would never have drank that second one. Or maybe even that third beer. Are more words needed? Elphaba slowly turned around, looking at the messy bed. Her mind shouted to her. Her clothes were thrown over the room, the truth was she couldn't even remember how her dress ended up the giant black lamp. She couldn't explain what in her mind drove her to such a wild actions. Elphaba Thropp was the last person to behave wild. The young Thropp was considered the image of bore and book snob. But Elphaba Thropp really had made a mistake now.

She turned around, facing the figure in the bed. He had blond hair, his face wasn't shown. The covers were pulled around him. She could see he was handsome, very handsome. That's why all girls in the entire school had been this crazy about him. Fiyero Tiggular, her best friends boyfriend was the man she had spent the night with. In her mind she like to say she didn't remember a thing about the wild night that had altered her entire 'mind' image. The truth was the Elphaba remember ever single detail, while she wanted nothing but to forget any of it ever occurred. She reached towards her dress, sliding it over her green body. What would happen if she left? There was not a trace of her presence, she could leave this room. Leave, and she wouldn't have to deal with the 'crazy' consequences of her foolish actions. Elphaba assumed that Fiyero wouldn't really give her a second look. After all, he had been just as intoxicated as she was. Would the 'booze' in his system cause for him to miss her strange 'skin' completion. She wouldn't be pulled in a circus of attraction and whatever the other would be called. Leaving was in that way the most smart thing to do. Her mind screamed her to leave. Her heart on the other end was another story. When she stared at Fiyero, she could feel how her heart skipped a beat. How she started to sweat, how she wanted to tell him. In a way she wanted to wake him up right now. She wanted to tell him about her undying love for him. Or so close to undying love.

Her mind stepped back in. How in the world would Fiyero love her? He was royalty. A Prince from the Vinkus. A man that could get every single girl on the campus. Yet, in her heart she hoped that Fiyero would pick the strange girl. But whoever did that? That was when she got up, she pulled her arms closer to her body and left that dark room. Walking over the campus was strange, her head hurt. So she had proven her own theory, drinking did lead to bad mornings. How was she going to face Fiyero? Glinda? How was she going to forget the images that haunted her own mind? Would Fiyero remember? And if he did, would he mind if she just left him there? Off course he wasn't going to remember her. And if he did, he wouldn't want to tell the rest of the camps about his rather strange 'green' victory. No, Fiyero wouldn't mention her to anyone. Part of her was glad her betrayal would never reach Galinda's sensitive ears. Any friendship they had would be destroyed. Elphaba noticed that she had made a decision without considering Fiyero. But really, what was there to consider? Her mind went back to the glares she would get.
She sat down close to a tree. Did she love Fiyero? Yes. What her mind just admitted that she was in fact hopelessly devoted and in love with Fiyero Tiggular, hopeless Winkie prince. What was it that charmed her about him? Was it his smile or his careless nature? Or were it his undeniable good looks? Elphaba remembered that her friendship with Glinda was very vulnerable and if she wasn't careful very short lived. There was no way she was going to risk that over being one of Fiyero's drunken conquests. No, she was Elphaba Thropp, she was not someone's trochee. And she didn't want the rest of the school to mention how sleazy she was. Being the green girl was enough. She wouldn't let them know that she Elphaba Thropp had slept with Fiyero in a drunken face.

No, from now on she was going to pretend that never happened. Elphaba stood up, almost directly heading to the room she shared with Glinda Upland. Her roommate and Fiyero's girlfriend. The idea about facing her right now was something she rather not get on her mind. Even though she believed it would happen. Opening the door to the room showed her a sleeping Glinda. She stared at her watch, to find the clock saying 4. No wonder the petit blonde was still enchanted by sleep. Elphaba's head hurt as she closed the door. The slightest noise was way too far. And there was the reason she had been that drunk. Glinda Upland. Miss 'You can take one more drink' had convinced her to have a beer. And one beer let to her having three beers, most people wouldn't have noticed a thing. But Elphaba Thropp wasn't most people. She had never in her life touched alcohol, or did she even do drugs or have a smoke. In her town she was a saint. But now anything saint like had left. Not that she was looking for extreme trouble. No, Elphaba Thropp was never ever looking for any trouble. Trouble used to find her.
She slowly put her head on the soft cushion. She wanted to cry, maybe crying would help her. But Elphaba Thropp closed her eyes. And as sleeping took over. Elphaba thought about the mistake she just made. Her dreams wouldn't be kind on her. In no way would her feelings for Fiyero be spared. That was what made dreams so incredible cruel, they made you face your mistakes alone and head on. There was no way to run.

Glinda Upland opened her eyes. She stared at her friend who was still dressed in last night's dress. It was wrinkled softly, and she could notice that her makeup had been removed. She stared at Elphaba Thropp, she remembered giving her some beer last night. Only three beers had made her in to a an amazing smiling person. Glinda liked it for some reason. Drunk Elphaba was her favorite Elphaba. She liked how Elphaba had asked to do her hair tomorrow. Or maybe she had forced herself on the drunken emerald girl? Maybe, in a drunken state Elphaba said yes to everything. And she really meant everything. Would it be okay to wake her up right now? Would Elphaba mind if she were to color her hair bright red? Maybe not, maybe she would. Waking her up wouldn't be too good. Glinda jumped of her bed, and jumped next to Elphaba.
"Bright and shiny, Elphie…" Glinda smiled "I'm here to do your hair!"
"When did I agree to that?" Elphaba stared at her trough her drunken eyes. "I would never…"
"Well, after two beers and beating up Avaric you did…" Glinda smiled

"When did I beat up Avaric?" Elphaba turned to her. "And why can I not recall that amazing memory? I mean it would be amazing…"
"It was, you made him cry like a little baby…" Glinda smiled "So Elphie, I can do your hair…"
"No coloring my hair…" Elphaba smiled "I like my hair the way it is."

"Okay, so I won't color it red…" Glinda slowly picked her curling iron. "But doesn't mean I can't curl it. Elphie, you're going to look so pretty."
"I guess…" Elphaba said in a guilty tone. The guilt had gotten to her the moment she had opened her eyes. Glinda's blue eyes were staring in hers. And she noticed how her betrayal wouldn't be something she'd keep from anyone. She let her do her hair, because of it. A few more minutes and Elphaba would even agree to coloring her hair in some crazy color. Would Glinda notice her guilty eyes? Or would she see it as something entirely different, like how her friend was willing to change for her. Or that she trusted her. Elphaba hoped it was those eyes Glinda saw.

"Are you okay, Elphie?" Glinda spoke "You look tired?"
"Well, it's been a long night…" Elphaba spoke.
"Tell me about it." Glinda turned towards her. "I think Biq is following me around. Even after I.."
"Boq…" Elphaba corrected
"Who's Boq?" Glinda raised an eyebrow. "Does Biq have a twin brother I don't know about?"

"Forget it, Glinda…" Elphaba turned around. "How are you doing with my hair?"
"I'm curling it.." Glinda reached for the curling iron. "You have beautiful hair Elphaba. You shouldn't hide it in one of your stupid braids. If I had your hair…"
"Well, I don't know anything but my braids…" Elphaba spoke "So it's all I can do…"
"Well, I can do that…" Glinda hugged her. "And so much more…"
"Thanks, Lin." Elphaba smiled
"What was that?" Glinda turned to her.
"A nickname…" Elphaba smiled "I put up with Elphie. You'll have to put up with Lin."

Elphaba noticed that Glinda didn't say a thing. She just gave her another hug. For the first time in a long time Elphaba felt loved. By a friend that would do anything for her. Do her hair, make her look pretty. Elphaba was sure that Glinda would never succeed in it, but it only made her guilt grow stronger. Glinda wouldn't be doing her hair right now if she knew about her whereabouts last night. She wouldn't be this nice to her, if she knew Fiyero and Elphaba had slept together. She wouldn't be nice at all. This was the guy Glinda would marry. Marry. You don't sleep with the guy that your best friend wants to marry. It was cheating.
"Elphie, what's wrong?" Glinda saw the tears in her eyes. "Elphie, is it because of your hair…"
"No, Lin." Elphaba spoke "I, I…"
"Elphie, you are really pretty…" Glinda smiled "And some day you're going to find a guy who'll see you for who you are. I promise…"

"Lin…" Elphaba turned to her.
"Not here on school…" Glinda smiled "The only good guy on this school is taken. And don't just take Avaric, he's not good enough for you. And Biq has not enough spine to handle your awesomeness."
"Do you really think so?" Elphaba turned to her.
"I am sure…" Glinda smiled "We're going to have babies together."

"Babies…" Elphaba paused "Isn't that a bit to early?"
"Well, it's never too early…" Glinda smiled "Men have to get used to the idea of children. If you tell them now you want them, they'll be used to the idea in 4 years. See my logics."
"I get it…" Elphaba smiled "Even though, you're 'dancing through life' Fiyero will never marry anyone. He…"

"Well, he's got some growing up to do…" Glinda smiled "Look at him, he's handsome. He's my type. We're so meant to be!"
Elphaba thought about Fiyero. And about what had happened last night, she had to admit that Fiyero was handsome. She loved that about him. About how he had made her feel. How he stared at her through his 'intoxicated eyes'. It had made her feel loved. And sexy in a way. But Elphaba tried to push away Fiyero. From her mind that was, she couldn't be caught having those thoughts about her best friends boyfriend. –Don't think about it! – Elphaba's mind screamed.
She noticed how Glinda didn't say anything anymore. Elphaba thought about how she would react. Was she responsible for her actions her drunken state? Elphaba shook her head, no. Why did she keep thinking about the same things. She decided to leave, she should leave all thoughts about that night behind. Start over. Forget the mistake that had occurred last night.

"You're done…" Glinda smiled as she showed Elphaba a mirror. Her hair was curled around her face, a couple pieces of her hair were tied together on the back of her head. It showed her strong cheekbones more clear. Glinda slowly took some make-up and started to put it on her face. Right now Elphaba didn't feel like saying no, or anything. She noticed how Glinda took red lipstick. In her mind she wanted Glinda to use another color. But she didn't say a word. She put a soft smile on her face. After a few seconds Glinda had applied a few layers of make-up. Elphaba turned to herself in the mirror. For some reason she still didn't like what she saw.
"Come on Elphie…" Glinda pulled her off the bed. "Get dressed!"
"Why?" Elphaba smiled "I have a headache and your voice is getting a bit painful for it."

"I'm so sorry, Elphie." Glinda smiled "I had no idea you would take 3 beers the way you did. I don't even feel 3 beers the way you do!"
"You couldn't know Glinda…" Elphaba smiled "Hell, I didn't even know…"

Elphaba turned around. She started to put her clothes on. Her long dark blue skirt, a simple white jacket. Her school uniform. She turned to herself in the mirror. The make was look anything but natural, but that could be because she had never worn make-up before. Would there be someone who told her she was pretty.
"You look beautiful, Elphie…" Glinda smiled "You really are!"

Elphaba stood up, she walked towards the door and started to make herself ready for class. They would head for breakfast first, Glinda always had some kind off healthy cornflakes, but today Elphaba had taken the same breakfast. To make her friends happy, she had no idea. Glinda smiled as she saw how her classmates didn't want to join her anymore.
"Come on now!" Glinda smiled "You can join us…"
"Glinda, why don't you join us?" Shenshen spoke "Greenie will be alright on her own, won't she?"
"Well…" Glinda paused "Doesn't Elphie look cute today? I did her hair and her make-up!"

"Well, you didn't use enough to distract your mind from the green color!" Shenshen spoke "You didn't use enough blush to make her look pretty!"
"Glinda, you really need to know who your friend are…" Pfannee spoke "Or do you consider Greenie here a friend?"
"Pfannee…" Glinda stepped towards her. "Your parents must have been really crazy for giving you such a horrible name. And I assume that you would steal my boyfriend…"

Elphaba slowly turned away from Glinda. The words 'steal her boyfriend' had brought memories back to her. That was maybe exactly what she did. Well, she had no idea if it would be considered like that.
"Elphaba is a true friend…" Glinda spoke "And if you can't watch passed her skin tone, you are really stupid. So just join us, the green is not contagious. And if it is, than you'll all be green…"
Pfannee joined Glinda at the table. Her rolling eyes were something Elphaba noticed. She noticed how no one sat down next to Elphaba. So Glinda simple got up and sat down next to her. She slowly put her arm around Elphaba's shoulder, to show that she didn't think Elphaba was weird at all.

"So…" Boq sat down next to Glinda. "How was the party?"
"Didn't you go?" Glinda turned to him. "I assumed that you…"
"No, me and Nessa researched for a paper." Boq smiled "What did we miss?"
"Greenie got really drunk…" Shenshen said "It was an ugly picture…"

"Actually it wasn't Boq." Glinda smiled "Drunken Elphaba can be incredible cool…"

"Really?" A male voice sounded from behind them. Elphaba turned around and noticed she was facing Fiyero. Her stomach turned around. She wasn't able to say anything. Elphaba didn't know what he remembered. What was she going to do?

A last question: Do you think Fiyero remembers anything of that night? And if he does, how would he feel about it?
