When Elphaba left the room, she basically cried the ninety-six percentage of water in her body. "Hey, are you okay?" Someone asked after a while... three hours. The voice sounded faintly familiar, but she couldn't tell really.

"No." She snapped, not wanting to talk to anybody.

"Elphaba, what's wrong?" The voice kindly demanded.

Elphaba wiped her eyes and looked up at the boy. It was that munchkin boy Boq. She would be looking down at him if she were standing up. "Galinda hates me." She sputtered.

"What? No!" Boq put a comforting arm on her shoulder.

"Then explain this!" She shoved the note into his hands.

"I hate you both..." Boq didn't need to read anymore to know Galinda meant Elphaba and Fiyero. "Why are you upset. Galinda will forgive you. Did something happen with Fiyero?"

Elphaba grimaced at the name. "This has nothing to with him. Why would you bring him up?"

"Well, rumor says you two were having a secret affair behind Galinda's back, and that you two were shouting at each other for no reason in History." The munchkin replied with a shrug.

"Boq, why would you even suggest such a thing!" The green girl snapped, she was bordering turning into the Incredible Hulk. "You know perfectly well that Fiyero and I hate each other. I am not going behind Galinda's, or anyone's back, and especially not for that snob of a prince."

Boq picked up her face and made her look at him. "I believe you. Fiyero's a jerk, and Galinda will forgive you."

Fiyero Tiggular wandered the halls thinking. Why in the world would Galinda, his girlfriend... at the time, assume he was doing anything sexual with Elphaba. Affair did mean sex, right? He had plenty of love affairs, but Elphaba was one of the "untouchables" - you touch, your funeral. He wasn't saying Elphaba wasn't hot, she had the perfect body (excluding the green skin) and if she took out the braids and off the glasses, she could be... That wasn't the point. The reason Elphaba was "untouchable" was for one thing only - she was smart. Fiyero never went for the smart girls. Why? Because they see right through you (not too mention remembers the secrets you tell her...), and Elphaba could make his life miserable anyway. Then he saw it. Saw her. That good little blue dress wearing ex of his, open mouth kissing with that Gillikinese boy, Avaric. "Galinda!" He shouted.

Galinda opened her eyes, saw Fiyero, and reluctantly pulled away. "What?" She asked, innocence in her tone.

"What are you doing?"

"What?" She repeated, grabbing Avaric's arm. "Can't a single gal kiss a single guy? I swear, Fiyero, you're as thick as lead." Well, that made no sense. Those lead pencils were really thin.

"But you and I are going out." He reasoned.

"Did you not read the note. I clearly didn't want to be used in order to keep your reputation. Now you can date the green girl without a care." Galinda said. "Everything is wondermaticulus! How can you not be happy?"

"I'm not having sex with Elphaba behind your back!" Fiyero shot at her.

"I never said you were."

"But you said affair."

"Oh, sweet Oz... Avaric, let's just go. He will never understand." Galinda grabbed his hand, and they walked away.

Fiyero stormed off in the other direction. Near the end of the hall, he heard faint voices. He wondered what exactly people were doing in this wing of the building so late in the day. Then he saw it, the munchkin boy Boq held Elphaba's face in his hands. "I believe you..." He said. "Fiyero's a jerk, and Galinda will forgive you."

Fiyero turned away. He didn't know why, but he was angry. Enraged, even more so than the Galinda incident. It seems both girls he had been associated with, however brief a time, had carried along fine without the other. Without HIM for that matter, and HE was the most popular guy around! So Fiyero went off to the courtyard and decided to cause some trouble...
