1. Chapter 1

Elphaba

I am green.

I am different.

I have—had—one friend.

I despise the Ozians.

They call her Glinda the Good.

I call her simply Glinda.

I love her boyfriend.

They call him Captain of the Gale Force.

His name is Fiyero.

I dared to defy gravity.

I fly solo.

I fight the Wizard.

Now they call me Wicked.

But listen to me.

Heed my words.

I am not Wicked.

Only misunderstood.

They call me 'The Wicked Witch of the West.'

My name is Elphaba.

I should be called 'The Misunderstood Witch of the West.'

I am Elphaba and I am misunderstood.
