Ok, so I've been looking at the reviews, and first of all, thank you for taking time to post those awesome reviews, they mean the world to me, but it doesn't seem like anybody's caught on to my story title and the chapter titles. "The Heat of That Comet" refers to the "comet pulled from orbit as it passes a sun" from For Good. The chapter titles have huge hints to what happens in the story, if you decipher them correctly. Anyway, all this to say,(Hamilton reference) this chapter will be great, because I got more than 5 hours of sleep. Enjoy! I do not own Wicked.
It was stupid, really, but Galinda could not shake the feeling that the green bean was watching her. She had her back facing her roommate, looking out the window, refusing to get up and start her day. She felt eyes on her, but she didn't turn around. She had no idea why she didn't turn around, but she just couldn't shake off the feeling that she was being watched.
Finally, she got fed up. "Miss Elphaba, it's rude to stare," she said, faking a polite voice, for reputations' sake. She turned towards her roommate with wide, innocent eyes. The green girl snorted and said, "You're one to talk, Miss Galinda. I've seen you and your petty little friends." And with that, she walked out of the room, leaving an infuriated Galinda in her wake.
"She's just horrible,"Galinda was complaining to her friends. "I tried to be polite, saying 'it's rude to stare, Miss Elphaba,' but then she just snorted and went 'you're one to talk, Miss Galinda.'" The girls gasped. "How terrible!" "How do you stand it?" "I certainly don't think I could!" Pfannee, Shenshen, and Milla had crowded around her in a semicircle, with sympathetic faces on. "And then, after saying that, she just walks out of the room!" Another round of gasps. Galinda had always liked having the stories that made people gasp, either with surprise, or with horror.
On her way to her first class, Galinda quite literally ran into this tiny munchkin boy. "Oh, sorry!" The munchkin apologized, helping the blonde pick up her fallen books. When he looked up to hand them to her however, he looked like he was going to faint. "Y-you're Miss Galinda!"
"Why yes, that's me."
"Oh, I'm sorry. For knocking down your books. Umm, my name is Boq. Shall I walk you to class?"
"No thank you, my class is just over there," Galinda replied politely, trying to ease her way out of this conversation so that she could get to class. Boq looked a little disappointed, but he said goodbye and went on his way.
How odd, Galinda thought. All the boys basically worshipped her, but they were at least close to her league. That little munchkin boy was brave. She climbed up the stairs to the academics building, almost sure that this was just the beginning of her university life.
There's chapter three! The first conflict of a long series of conflicts. Read and Review!
