Alright, I better do this before the author of Wicked kills me. I do not own any of the characters in Wicked or the place. But Sebastian and Roxanna are totally mine.
Anyway, some people have been asking me questions like is Sebastian named after some person, well I can tell you, NO, I just like the name Sebastian! Hehehehe
Also, this is more based on the musical rather than the book. I have read the book! But I prefer the musical better…don't you agree? On with chapter two!
May 1st
Roxanna was under the statue of the founder of Shiz College, once again with the Grimmerie (A/N: In the last chapter I spelt it wrong!). She felt the leather rub against her hands and the sliver letters shined into her eyes. Roxanna didn't understand the language in the book, but it did not hurt to read it. She liked to pretend in was a new story each time she turned into a new chapter. When she was younger she pretended it was a fairy book, and she was the fairy princess in the land of Oz. But now Roxanna is over making pretend with these sliver words, instead she is trying to translate it.
She looked up to see Sebastian was making his way over to her. Her heart skipped a little beat then skipped faster when he sat down next to her. He lend back against the statue. He slightly closed his eyes and breathed in the air softly. Sebastian open one eye to see Roxanna giving him a strange look.
"What are you staring at?" He asked her.
"Nothing!" Roxanna quickly turned her head away and covered it with the book.
"Reading that ancient thing again?" Sebastian asked her.
"It's quite interesting actually." Roxanna told him. Sebastian rolled his eyes.
"Whatever." A couple of boys we're walking towards them.
"Sebastian! Your little motto thing is so right! Life's more painless for the brainless! Why didn't you come earlier in this semester?" Derek, a stupid prince in the land of Oz. His blonde locks and great smile will make any girl fall for him. Derek is the type of guy who loves the attention and rumour has it he is already engaged to another princess in Oz. Rumour has it, no one who the princess is or where she's from. "Whose the girl?"
"Derek, we've been at the same school for about two years now." Roxanna told him.
"Oh yeah, you're…um…Glinda's kid." Derek only remembered her mother.
"I have a name." Roxanna said with sarcasm slipping through her teeth.
"It's Roxanna, and what do you what Derek?" Sebastian asked him.
"There's a party, down at the Ozdust Ballroom, tomorrow night, you coming?" Derek invited him.
"Yeah."
"Awesome, come on guys." Derek told his crew to move away from the two by the statue. "This isn't really our scene."
Sebastian turned to Roxanna after Derek was about serval feet away from him. "Are you coming?"
"Me?" Roxanna blushed slightly. "Um…I'm not sure, dancing isn't really my thing."
"Oh, alright then." Sebastian jumped up and looked down at her. "See you around." He said to her before running off to catch up with some friends.
"I should go…but what am I going to wear?" Roxanna asked herself.
Roxanna opened her closet. She pulled all her clothes to one side and begun picking through each one. What am I going to wear? Roxanna kept pulling and pushing each item of clothing on the rack. She didn't own anything to wear to parties, she rarely got invited to any, and so this was a shock to her. Roxanna kept going through everything she own. Matching up pieces of clothing with other bits. She kept mix and matching until she gave up. There was only one thing left to do. Roxanna thought she would never do this in her entire life. Slowly and shaky she picked the phone up off the hook. She managed to dial a number into the phone. The phone rang. It ranged. It ranged. Until…
"Glinda, here!" Roxanna had heard her mother's voice in the phone.
"Mother!" Roxanna beamed.
"Oh, darling!" Glinda sang back. "How are you dear?"
"Mother?" Roxanna couldn't believe she was doing this. "Can we go shopping?
"Bless my soul! Of course, darling! We shall go shopping next week."
"Mother, there's a party tomorrow night and I was invited and I need something to wear."
"A party! I have the perfect thing for you. I'll send it right now, it should be there in about 3 hours."
"That's fast travelling."
"Yes, now, darling, I have to leave, but we'll go shopping next week! Toodles!" The phone went dead. Roxanna put the phone down on the hook and dropped into the chair beside it. Her mother. Glinda the Good. Is sending Roxanna a dress.
"What have I done?" Roxanna asked herself.
Three hours later there was a knock at Roxanna's dorm room. Roxanna got up from her bed and made her way to the door. She opened it to see a munchkin carrying a package for her. The package was quite large compared to the munchkin himself.
"Roxanna?" He asked. Roxanna nodded as he gave her a form and a pen to sign for the package. She took the package from him and waves the munchkin good bye as he left. Roxanna quickly shut the door and run towards the bed. She placed the package down on it and unwrapped it. It turned out to be a pink dress. A pink tightly fitted drink with ruffles for the skirt. There was a note underneath the dress that was left there. Roxanna picked it up.
Dear Roxanna
I wore this dress to the OzDust Ballroom when I was your age. I'm sorry but you have to find shoes yourself for the dress. This is my favourite dress and this dress brought me a very good friend. One day, you'll understand. Until then, enjoy the party!
Glinda the Good
Does anyone recognise that dress? Please send me a comment about it.
