Sorry for any grammar errors. Let me know what you think I'm not so sure about it. Thank you to everyone who reviewed chapter 1. I hope you enjoy. :)

I woke to see the sun pouring through the window shielding my eyes with my forearm I slowly turned to look at my alarm clock which had yet to go off, seeing that it was five thirty I decided to get up and take a cool refreshing shower it was too hot to go back to sleep anyway. Glancing at my still sleeping blonde roommate I got up and headed for the bathroom, softly closing the door behind me so as not to wake Galinda. I switched the shower on and stepped in when it was at a satisfying temperature letting the water wash over me I started to think about the day ahead of me: life sciences followed by sorcery then a free period which I'd probably spend in the library followed by History then lunch which if the weather was still good I'd spend sat up in a tree then we had the rest of the afternoon off due to some teacher training event. All in all my day was looking pretty good, that was until I stepped out of the shower and heard voices on the other side of the door. One of them belonged to my perky blonde roommate the other belonged to her annoyingly obnoxious, stuck up rich boyfriend Fiyero Tiggular. Sighing I changed into my Shiz uniform,tied my hair in a braid and walked out of the bathroom. "Good morning Elphie!" Galinda shouts, "Morning Lin" I reply. I don't even bother to comment on the awfully perky nickname she uses for me, after all it's been a week since that night at the Oz Dust and no matter how many times I tell her to stop using it she pays no attention.
Truth be told I think it's nice that she took the time to come up with a nickname for me she's the first person to ever try and get to know me. The first person to attempt to break down the walls I've built around myself. The first person to see past my green skin.
As I reach down to pick my bag up the second voice in the room speaks up "Good morning Elphie" he says I whirl around and glare at him "Don't you ever call me that again!" I shout and with that I marched out the room leaving them to enjoy each other's company.
I don't know what it is but there's something about Fiyero Tiggular that gets to me, maybe it's the way we met I don't think I'll ever forgive him for that. Talk about not thinking before you speak, I've heard a lot of comments in my life about the colour of my skin but none that got me quite like his "Maybe the driver saw green and thought it meant go" I don't know why it bothered me so much I've heard worse but for some reason I just can't seem to let it go.
Entering the dining hall I headed over to the counter to get my breakfast but changed my mind when I saw Avaric and his friends sat laughing at a table that I'd have to walk past. Not wanting to be seen by him or any of his friends I walked back out the way I came in grabbing an apple out of a nearby fruit bowl, I decided to head to life sciences early and get a head start on our big project.
I'd been in our life sciences classroom for ten minutes when the bell rang and everyone else came sauntering through the door in small clusters. Once everyone had taken there seat our professor told us to get on with our projects and if we had any questions just ask him. I enjoy my life sciences class or I enjoy it as much as one can enjoy a lesson where they get balls of paper thrown at the back of their neck. About half way through the lesson after the fiftieth ball of paper had hit me I turned around to see just who was enjoying using me as their target. I wasn't entirely surprised to find out it was Fiyero, as I glared at him he smiled back at me a sickly sweet smile that would have any other girl swooning at his feet. Smirking slightly I turn back to my desk, pick up all the paper he'd thrown at me and threw it back at him. Several more heads in the class turned to see what was going off and one by one they started to laugh as Fiyero Tiggular possibly the most respected looked up to male on campus slowly but surely got turned into a human snowman by the resident green girl Elphaba Thropp. Turning back to my desk to finish my project another piece of paper landed on my notebook but this time with a note written on it nicely played green girl it read smirking I slid it into my bag. When the bell rang signalling the end of the lesson the professor asked me and Fiyero to stay behind thinking it had something to do with the paper throwing in class I got ready to apologise but as I tried to speak the professor started to have a go at Fiyero telling him that he's failing miserably and that if he doesn't get his grades sorted out soon he'll have no choice but to tell Madame Morrible who will contact his parents the King and Queen of the Vinkus.
Watching Fiyero closely I see the smirk on his face fade away and be replaced by something almost like disappointment, his shoulders slump and he stares at the ground fiddling with his hands. It doesn't take a scientist to work out he's been in this situation before and each time it ended badly.
The professor then turned to me and said "If anyone can help him it's you Miss Thropp, I trust you'll do the best you can" and with that he left.
"Library tonight eight thirty" I told him before turning to leave
"What?" Fiyero asked
"Library tonight eight thirty, bring a notebook and some paper" with that I left the room glancing over my shoulder in time to see Fiyero slump his head on the desk in front of him in defeat.
Maybe he is bothered. Maybe he does care what grades he gets. Maybe he's different to what everyone thinks. But if anyone can help him it's me and I'm determined to succeed.
