I've been to the UK for 10 days and when I got home I was buried in homework and tests… So I'm sorry for not updating earlier. But I'm doing so now.

Thanks to Kay for betaing this thing. Really, thank you :)

And I still don't own Wicked… I mean, seriously…


Chapter two

A fuming Elphaba left their room 15 minutes later, meeting a crowd of boys standing around the list Galinda put up.

"The nerve." She mumbled, not sure if it was focused on Galinda or the mass of boys or Galinda.

Pushing herself past them she walked down to class.

"Miss Elphaba!" She heard some one scream from behind her. She turned and faces a brown haired young man in tight pants and a half buttoned shirt. He brushed his hair away from his eyes.

"Miss Elphaba, may I ask you for a favour?"

Elphaba looked at him, wondering what she could do for a man she had never seen before.

"And what would that be Master…?"

"Oh I'm sorry for my manners. I'm Letheo Pyon."

"Master Pyon, how may I help you?"

He put his hands in his back pockets and leaned a bit forward, as if he didn't want what he was saying to come out.

"I was hoping for your assistance regarding a personal matter of great importance to me. As I'm sure you know, your roommate has put up a dating list."

Elphaba snorted at that comment.

"I wish for you to let her know I am more then willing to tend to her every need. And I wish not to wait for three months for my chance to prove myself worthy."

Without knowing why she gave him a small frown.

"And why would I do this, for you, whom I don't know?"

"Because I'm asking you."

She looked at the now almost empty hallway realising she was late.

"Master Pyon, I really don't have time for this at the moment. I will let Galinda know if I'm able to get her to listen. I can't promise anything."

She ran to class, trying to shake off the feeling of uncomfortableness that Master Pyon left after him.

Her afternoon classes were cancelled due to sickness so she hid in the library for some time, not wanting to face Galinda and the wrath she assumed that small body still contained. When the sun went down she figured that she had no choice but to go back to her room.

The room was empty. The clothes Galinda had worn this morning were thrown on the floor and her makeup bag was lying on her bed. It became clear to Elphaba that Galinda was on a date with lucky guy number one. She wondered who the suitor was as she changed and went to bed in desperate need of sleep.

A sleepless hour later she heard giggling outside the door, and a few clock ticks later the door opened and a very flushed Galinda entered with a big smile on her lips. The smile fell when she saw her roommate in bed and instead of being gentle she threw her small jacket on the floor with a thump.

Wondering if she should care, Elphaba laid under her covers trying to be still.

Galinda kept making small noises, including "accidentally" slamming the bathroom door.

When Galinda finally made an appearance in her nightgown Elphaba sat up, making she blonde girl jump slightly.

"Don't do that!" She said with a frown.

"Well, if you would be a bit quieter we could have avoided it."

Galinda sat down on her bed and looked over at the tired green girl.

"Elphie, have I done anything to upset you?"

Elphaba let out a snort.

"Except wanting me to change clothes and then storming out?"

"It wouldn't hurt to put on something other than black once in a while you know. And you were undiscussable."

"Undiscussable? You ran out before I even had time to open my mouth."

Galinda reached over to Elphaba's bed and took her hand in hers.

"I'm sorry Elphie. I didn't mean to upset you. It was just frustrating. I want to you look pretty all the time. Not just alone in here."

Deciding not to comment on it, in case of another fight, Elphaba changed the subject.

"Who was your date this evening?"

Galinda giggled.

"Oh Master Mervoc. He was a pure gentleman, though at the end… Well, a lady never kisses and tells."

She giggled yet again.

"You like him then I assume?"

Galinda thought for a moment. She laid down, letting go of Elphaba's hand in the process. Elphaba turned of the light and put her head on her pillow.

"He was a perfect young man, but not for me."

That comment relieved Elphaba slightly, but she didn't know why.

"Speaking of dates. I ran in to Master Pyon this morning. He asked me to let you know that he was very interested in going on a date with you. And he wanted to make sure he didn't have to wait to long for it to happen."

"Master Pyon? Is he the boy with brown hair and that cute dimple in his cheek when he smiles?"

"I wouldn't know about the smile but he did have brown hair and very tight pants."

Galinda let out a squeal.

"I will definitely make time for him, if you run in to him tomorrow, will you let him know? Please Elphie."

Elphaba sighed.

"Sure. Now can we go to sleep? I'm exhausted."

"Thank you. Good night."

It didn't take long before Galinda's soft snores lulled Elphaba to sleep

After breakfast the next morning Elphaba walked back to her room to get her books. She saw the pink paper that was cluttered full with names and times. She didn't see Master Pyon's name but assumed that Galinda would put it up as soon as she found time to do so.

She took her books and her glasses then left to go down the small road to her study tree in the back of a lecture building. Not many knew about the place, so she was usually undisturbed.

"Miss Elphaba? What are you doing back here?"

"Oh Master Pyon. What are you doing here?"

"I asked first." He took a seat next to her and she hastily pushed back away from him the slightest.

"I come here to study sometimes. I'm usually alone here."

"I'm sorry if I disturbed you. I can leave if you'd like."

"No you don't have to. By the way, I told Galinda about your request and she will definitely make time for you."

He smiled and showed a small dimple on his cheek, but instead of being charmed by it Elphaba found it annoying.

"Thank you Miss Elphaba, I'm really grateful." He again smiled his charm smile and she at once stood up.

"I'm sorry, but I have to leave."

He stood up with her and reached out his arm.

"You want me to follow you to your destination?"

Elphaba took a step back and glanced at the man. He stood there, smiling, with his arm within reach.

"No thank you. I'm just going over to the library." She pointed to one of the buildings near by. "But thanks for the offer."

"Well then, have a nice afternoon Miss Elphaba."

"You as well Master Pyon."

"Elphie!" Galinda stormed into their room later that evening.

Elphaba dropped her pen and took a look at the almost frantic girl standing in front of her.

"Where have you been all day?" She said, looking more than upset.

"Library. Why?"

"I've been looking for you all afternoon!"

"And you didn't think about checking the place that is my second home?"

Galinda stopped for a second before continuing.

"I don't have time for technicalities. Anyway, what did he say?"

"Who?"

"Don't who me, Master Pyon, that's who!"

Galinda was a bit more than obsessed. Clearly Pyon was a big person for her, not that Elphaba could understand why.

"How do you know I even saw him today?"

"News travels fast around her. Now tell me!"

Elphaba moved to her bed and started to undress.

"Well I don't know. He thanked me for letting you know."

"And?"

"And what? I got up to leave and he asked me if I wanted him to escort me to the library and I declined."

"That was rude Elphaba. When a man asks to escort you somewhere you should always accept."

"Is that written somewhere?"

"No, but my Momsie told me so, and she is the one who has taught me to be the proper lady I am."

Elphaba let out a snort as she walked towards the bathroom.

"I'm sure you are very proper my sweet."

"Well yes I am."

Galinda started to prepare for her date for the evening and Elphaba soon came out in her nightgown.

"Are you going to bed this early?"

"Of course not. I plan on spending a quiet evening in our room with a book and a sandwich."

Galinda gasped.

"But it's a Friday night. You should be out spending time with some friends or even a boy."

"When have I ever done that?"

The blonde thought for a second.

"Well, sometime have to be the first. You should come with me, I'm sure someone on my list will be happy to spend the night with you."

"You know what, maybe some other time. I'm just going to sit here-" She pointed to the armchair in the corner of the room. "-and read the whole evening. And when you get back I will let you tell me all about your night."

"I will hold you to that Elphie. And maybe you can come out with me next weekend?"

"We'll see."

There was a knock on the door and Galinda let out a small squeal.

"That must be my date, Master.. Ehm… Master… Boy number 3."

She took her purse and walked towards the door.

"Have a good night Elphie. I'll see you later, okay?"

"Yeah, you too."

She opened the door and flashed the boy a smile, waved at her roommate and then the door closed leaving Elphaba alone with her book and a small sandwich.


So? Whatcha think?
