CHAPTER 4: THE BEGINNING...
Closer...
"What is with you really? Why did he chose a weird green girl over a pretty popular blonde?", Galinda thought while still holding the pepper spray tightly in her hand.
She was squeazing it really hard while she gave her friend a deathly glare. Her heart jumped when Elphaba opened her eyes.
"Galinda?", Elphaba was shocked to see her friend's face all worn out and covered with sweat. But one thing that made her even more terrified was when she saw her hand with the pepper spray she gave her. Her brows face each other. "That's it! I'm going to call the police. I knew it all along, that guy from Vinkus is a troubled mess", she did not asked Galinda what happened, from these things that she saw, she was convinced on what took place. Elphaba hurriedly rose from her bed and headed towards the telephone. But then, the next thing that happened made her frozen on the floor.
"Elphie!", Galinda held her friend tightly and cried loudly like a wee baby on her back. Elphaba then gently rubbed her friend's back. "O-kay? Maybe something different happened", she thought.
"It's okay. It's okay. Now tell me what happened", the green girl said in a serious yet worried tone while the two girls sit on Elphaba's bed.
"Fiyero...", Galinda started. "He doesn't like me", a loud cry was heard in the four corners of their dorm room.
"What? I thought you said he really likes you? He even sends you flowers in your locker every Tuesday, right?", Elphaba asked.
"I'm sorry, but I made that up Elphie. I never really get flowers in my locker every week. He does not like me, now I know why he is always quiet when we're together, or when I call his name from afar, he seemed not to hear my high-pitched loud voice, he was avoiding me from the very start", Galinda's eyes were red and so is her face. Her hair was messed up.
Elphaba gasped in disbelief. She noticed the pepper spray her friend is still holding. "What about this pepper spray that I made you bring?", she asked.
"After hearing all these confessions from him, I ran away. And there was no bus because it's already late, so I just walked my way here to the building. Just then, before I turn left in our street, two big scary dogs were guarding the road. I was so scared, so I decided to run.
"What? They will chase after you!", Elphaba almost shouted these words to her friend.
"I know, but I was too scared to think about that. So they chased after me, and I quickly located the pepper spray you gave me and used it against them. Ah. I just thank God that you gave me that, because without it, I might have ended up in the hospital by now, experiencing those injections because of dog bites", Galinda said.
Elphaba just let out a heavy sigh. Then, she made her way to Galinda's closet. She got her pink towel and signaled the blonde to go to the bathroom. "Go take a shower, it will relax you a bit, and will also clean you", she stated.
Galinda took the towel and went inside the bathroom.
Inside, while she sit in the bath tub filled with fresh pink bubbles in it, the water in the shower continuosly running and making her face wet, she stared at her roommate's toothbrush beside the bathroom's mirror, inches away from her. Her face was blank.
After minutes of staring, her blank face began to transform into a bitter and furious look.
"It's crazy but I think I like like her, Galinda", Fiyero's voice kept repeating inside her head.
"Why can't you like me Fifi?" she thought while still staring at Elphaba's toothbrush.
She found her right hand turn into a fist. Then she felt her teeth clench inside her mouth.
"This is the start. Good girl no more."
