Hey guys here is chapter 3! Hope you like. In this chapter it takes place two years later an Tali is now 18. She is heading off to Shiz and I hope you all like it!
Enjoy.
I stepped off the train with my luggage and walked over to a bench. I stood by it and looked around for a cab. When I spotted one I called for it and as it pulled over I opened the door and put my luggage in.
"Shiz University please."
"Absolutely." said the driver. I held onto my luggage and we drove off. We passed buildings and houses and I was very amazed at all of the colors. There was a woman talking with a man at a café and another guy walking his dog. There were other cabs and as we stopped at a light I noticed someone struggling to put someone with a wheelchair in a cab. I tried to get a good look at the girl helping the younger girl in the car, but we drove off before I could make it out.
Ever since I came to Oz two years ago nothing has been the same. I couldn't really remember my past life. Just a couple things. Like where I came from, which was Kalispell Montana, and my other family. When I arrived here, the lady in the red house took me in. Her name was Susan and she insisted that I would stay. I knew originally that before I came to Oz that I was not planning on going to college but now I'm here. Getting a degree in Art is going to be fun.
As long as I don't mess it up.
We pulled up to the University and I gave the driver the amount needed and carried my luggage out. I smiled as I looked around me and took in everything.
There was a main building with a banner in front that read 'WELCOME FRESHMEN'. There was an academics building, a forestry building, a law building, an Acing building,everything that you could imagine in an University.
I noticed someone holding up a sign that read 'FRESHMEN MEETS HERE!'. I walked over to it and someone at a desk handed me a flyer. He had short blond hair, and brown eyes. He wore a plaid shirt and had the cutest smile. I mentally slapped myself and folded the flyer up and put it in my pocket.
"New here?" he asked.
"Ohhh Nooo" I said sarcastically and smiled. He laughed and I blushed. Oh stop it Tali. You'll make a fool of yourself."You have a good year."
"Thanks." I said and walked off. I noticed that a group of freshmen's were pointing and laughing at someone and I decided to go check it out. The moment I got through the big swarm of people the first thing I noticed was that it was the girl who was helping the other woman into the cab earlier.
The second thing I noticed was that she was green.
Actually green. She sat on a bench and was wearing a blue knitted hat, almost like a beanie. She was also wearing a blue blazer, and a blue frock. She held onto a brown suitcase and her long, black hair was braided.
And of course instead of being rude like everyone else was, I walked up to her and sat next to her. I heard a couple of gasps and whispers from everyone around us but I paid them no mind. Instead I stuck out my hand, hoping she would take it.
"My names Tali. Tali Streaker. What's yours?" I heard a couple of whispers but I kept ignoring them.
She looked at me, then at my hand, then back at me. Her eyes bulged and she pointed to herself, "M-Me?" She asked.
I laughed, "Yes you. Who else?" She looked around for a moment before taking my hand and giving it a slight shake.
"Elphaba." she said, "Elphaba Thropp." I heard a couple of snickers behind me, and Elphaba turned away.
"You a freshman too?" I asked. All I got was a slight nod, "Me too."
"Why is she green?" I heard someone speak aloud. Not caring if she heard of if she had feelings. I guess that last comment got to Elphaba because she stood right up, ears fuming smoke.
"What!?" I heard her yell. I stood up too, "Oh do I have something in my teeth?" I tried to put my hand on her shoulder, "All right might as well get this over with," and she threw her suitcase on the ground. I quickly picked it up, "NO I AM NOT SEASICK! YES I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN GREEN AND NO I DID NOT EAT GRASS AS A CHILD," she screamed as she walked up to a small munchkin.
"Elphaba!" I heard someone scream. I looked over at a man wearing a read tunic, his hair pulled into a ponytail. He pushed a girl in a wheel chair.
"And this is my sister Nessarose and as you can see she is a pERFECTLY NORMAL COLOR!" she said, pointing at Nessarose.
"Elphaba! Stop making a spectacle of yourself!" the man said and grabbed her arm and pulled her away, "I sent you to this school for one reason and one reason only!"
"I KNOW!" she spat, "To look after Nessa." she looked down at her feel. The man, which I presumed to be her father, turned to Nessarose. I walked up to Elphaba and handed her luggage to her.
"Here," I said and smiled.
"Thanks." she said. She grabbed the suitcase out of my hand.
Elphaba's father turned to her, "Elphaba, take care of your sister," he said as he slammed a box closed and shoved it into her arms, "And try not to talk so much." And he left. Elphaba hung her head.
"Hey," I said. I put my hand on Elphaba's shoulder, "Don't listen to him. He's just being a huge dick." Elphaba smiled.
"Thanks."
