A/N: Thank you so much for all of the positive feedback on my oneshot and multi-chapter! This is probably going to be a longer multi-chapter, so I'll be keeping it updated when I can. Yes, I know that I'm also working on, 'Girl in the Mirror', but I'm currently stuck, so I've been working on this.
NOTE: I do not own any part of Wicked.
Teacher's pet, brainiac, pedantic. I sighed. This year, I promised to myself, will be different. This year, I won't have those names. Before stepping out onto the train station platform, I looked around my private carriage once more to make sure I didn't forget anything. As I stepped onto the train station platform I muttered, "Here I come Shiz."
The ride to Shiz was quite uneventful. Considering the coachman was my father's and only discussed matters of politics. Normally, I would be quite fascinated, but I had to remember: chic, stylish, and most importantly, popular. This is what I wanted to appear like when I arrived at Shiz.
Shiz University was an impressive collection of buildings. From the vines that wrapped around almost every square inch of wall space, it was clear to me that these structures were ancient.
"Oh well look who we have here." I turned around quickly to see that it was my elementary school friend, Shen Shen. "Oh, um, Shen Shen," I swallowed, "Y-you're attending Shiz too?" Seeing her here made me nervous. She knew what I was trying to do.
"Well obviously, Galinda," she looked at my attire skeptically, "You've changed." I nodded, my blonde curls falling into my face. What else could I say? She was right, I did change. Instead of my usual modest navy blue blazer and long skirt, I was sporting a fitted white blouse and a matching short skirt.
"Well," I asked, "Do you like it?" Shen Shen just stared at me, which was fine, because I didn't expect to get a response. I simply asked the question to avoid an awkward silence. As Shen Shen turned to walk away she said, "Yes, but it's not like you, Galinda."
I just stood there on the lawn, contemplating my friend's words as she walked back into one of the buildings. I sighed and thought to myself, This is definitely going to be an interesting year.
Should I continue with this? Please review!
