Me and My friend, Zoe have been working on this story for quite some time and have decided to share it with you all on fanfiction. The end is not yet written though a considerable amount of the story is.

Sorry for the slow updates with my other story 'not everything makes sense' I've been really busy and haven't had time to write the next chapter. I'll try and update soon :)

Disclaimer: No wicked is not mine and sadly it never will be!

When it all began!

Shiz was a grand place, only the finest and smartest student could attend. This of course did not apply to the rich. They could buy their way in with ease. All of the new students arrived on time except the fashionably late Miss Galinda upland (of the upper uplands). They gathered in the extravagant main hall of Shiz university, awaiting orders from the masculine Madame Morrible otherwise known as horrible Morrible.

All was quiet as Madame Morrible entered the room. She perched herself at the grand piano at the front of the room as everyone fumbled around for seats. With her long elegant white dress flowing over the stool she placed her bony white fingers upon the keys of the piano and began to play a low pitched, deafening tune to settle the students.

"Welcome my dears to Shiz University! We will help you reach your wildest dreams of knowledge... but only if you work as you should!" she boomed.

Suddenly the giant wooden doors at the back of the room flung open, and there stood the noble trouble maker, with all his blue diamond skin in all its glory as he casually stepped forward with his arms still raised from pushing the doors open, and he boasted: "I'm here everyone so you can stop your worrying" and with a charming lopsided smile he glanced to the side of the room where Miss Elphaba Thropp was sitting. With a disgusted look upon her face she quickly broke the eye contact but not before noticing how his deep blue eyes shone with mischief. Prince Fiyero was immediately inquisitive about this exotic looking girl he was drawn to. He found her vibrant emerald skin unusually attractive. Still smiling he turned over to the more upper class, Miss Galinda and her friends. The girls huddled together giggling and blushing fiercely.

"Take your seat master Fiyero! Or you'll soon be searching for another university!" Madame Morrible shouted angrily. Fiyero scanned the room and noticed there were two seats left, one next to Elphaba and one next to Galinda. Without a second thought he dragged his suitcases over to the seat next to the emerald skinned Elphaba.

"Hi I'm Fiyero, I saw you looking across the room at me" he said mischievously.

"Well, I was trying to look at the clock but your big head blocked my view!" she said dismissively.

"Now, now there's no need to make excuses" he whispered.

"I'll make excuses for some things but this isn't one of those things" she whispered so Madame Morrible wouldn't hear. They both continued to listen to Madame Morrible's speech however boring it may be.

"And now I will tell you about your rooms and who you will be sharing with" Madame Morrible screeched. The students shuffled in their seats with excitement as she read out the list of names and room numbers.

"Miss Galinda due to your ama's unfortunate incident you shall be paired with someone without an ama" she searched the list until she found someone to fit the criteria. There happened to be only one student left – Miss Elphaba Thropp.

"Miss Galinda Upper-upland and Miss Elphaba Thropp will be in room 124" she said.

"WHAT?!" shouted Elphaba and Galinda in unison. They glared at each other as they argued with Madame Morrible about the rooming arrangements. Though it was pointless in trying to change the stubborn old woman's mind, it did not make Galinda any less determined to state her opinions on this matter.

"The rooms are final there will be no switching of roommates and certainly no more bickering! Understood?" shouted Madame Morrible.

"Yes mam" said both Galinda and Elphaba whilst shying away still glaring at each other.

"Now go and make friends seen as you will be roommates for the whole semester. Unless a house happens to falls on one of your heads!"

"You can't do that" whined Galinda.

"Why not I am the head teacher I decide everything" boasted Madame Morrible.

"But, but she's G R E E N!" said Galinda

"I can spell you know you B L O N D E!"

"Yeah I can spell to!" she shouted "what does that spell" she whispered to Madame Morrible.

"Argh you girls will be the death of me" moaned Madame Morrible.

"No really what does it spell?" protested Galinda.

"It spells BLONDE" shouted Elphaba.

Then gromotek entered the room and handed Madame Morrible a cup of tea and went to give one to the two girls.

"No gromotek they were just leaving!" ordered Madame Morrible.

The two girls left with their suitcases and slammed the door on their exiting. They dragged their suitcases up to room 124 which was easy for Elphaba with her one small and compact black suitcase. But Galinda being Galinda had brought three big, bright pink suitcases. Elphaba unlocked the door and Galinda barged through.

"We better start getting along otherwise this semester will be hell." Elphaba said.

"Your right and now that we're kind of friends I'm going to make you my new project" Galinda understood.

"You really don't have to do that" Elphaba replied

"That's what makes me so nice. It will help you get Fiyero!" tempted Galinda.

"What? I don't like him he's a big headed freak" argued Elphaba

"Don't lie everyone knows you like him"

"I do not and I don't want to be your new project!" shouted Elphaba.

"Well you didn't have to be so mean about it" sobbed Galinda.

The two of them were silent while they unpacked. Galinda's side of the room was a heap of mess with clothes and matching accessories all over the place. In the corner a large pile of boxes tilted unsteadily. Whereas on Elphaba's side everything was in order, dresses in one pile and a variety of black coats hanging up with scarfs. Her shoes tucked away in a neat, tidy line, each of the same style and colour. Everything was put in its place and Elphaba sat on her bed making sure not to move anything. Then Galinda dived onto the bed sending a heap of clothes and accessories shooting up into the air and onto the floor with many other items. They sat in a awkward silence for only a short while.

"So Elphie, do you want to go and explore the gardens?" asked Galinda.

"Yes in a little while but for now I want to read." Elphaba answered
