"What are you two doing?" On the floor brawling, I see Connor and Boq. At the sound of my voice they look up and release each other.

"Do you want to explain to me why you are trying to kill each other or shall I take a guess. I'm sure that it'll be right." I know that both boys were in the fight but I was angrier at Connor.

"Boq here was on his way to see you…with this in his hand?" Connor pulled at ragged rose from his pocket. It had obviously been squashed during the fight.

"I came to realise Galinda that this situation is just like what happened with Damon. I watched while you pranced around with him just waiting for something good to happen and for us to be together. Well this time, I'm not going to wait. I am going to make it happen. Galinda, I love you and I want to be with you so I'm not going to sit on the sidelines while you try to make up your mind. I'm going to fight for you because I know that you love me too."

"She doesn't love you. She's with me and she's told me all about you. How you dumped her and whatnot"

"I was under a spell, you moron. I was forced to not love her."

"And when you weren't you still treated her like shit."

"Enough!" I had had it with these two fighting and bickering over who loved me more and felt that they deserved to be with me. If this happened years ago, I would have loved to have boys fighting over me but not now.

"You two will keep your mouths shut until I say so. We are going to walk back to my room and discuss this like mature adults and you will not tackle each other. Am I Clear!?" They both nodded quietly, quite shocked. I could see that I had scared them a little. Well as they say. 'Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.' We made it back in silence and placed my things down.

"Clearly this is getting out of hand. I have half a mind to just say bugger off to both of you and that I'm going to date someone completely new however I can't do that because I would feel really bad and I also still love you both. Now how we are to resolve this I have no idea but until we do, I don't want to see either of you fighting, or arguing or doing anything stupid to each other. I want neither to discuss this unless you are with me. Got it!" I flopped down on my bed and sighed. How was I going to solve this. Simple, just pick one guy to love. That most certainly was not simple.

"Look, I don't know how to cope with this. I love you both but I can't be with you both. And I don't want to hurt either of you."

"Galinda, I'm not going to sit around here and wait for you to make up your mind. I have the most to lose here. You're my girlfriend. It hurts me most for you to say that you love me and him. Either you are going to be with me or you aren't but I won't wait forever." He got up and headed for the door but turned around to face.

"I came here to give you this and spend time with you but I think it would be best if I just leave." On his way out, he dropped something onto the side table and left.

"Galinda, he's right. I am going to fight for you but only if you are really interested in us and want us to be together. If you're not, then I am just wasting my time." He was leaving me too.

"Boq wait, don't leave. Please."

"I think it is best that I do. Besides, I have studying to do." He shut the door behind him leaving me alone in the room.


The rest of school went by in a blur and I hardly remembered any of it. Connor had been ignoring me and Boq wouldn't speak to me much.

"So neither of them are speaking to you?" Elphaba asked me as we putting on our graduation gowns and caps with the rest of the cohort.

"Yep, neither of them. It's like they chose for me and now want nothing to do with me. I just feel like I should forget about both of them and find someone nice. Someone who doesn't come from Munckinland or Vinkus.

"Galinda. I'm going to give you my personal opinion that I kept to myself because I didn't want to hurt you but also cause I wanted you to make your own choices but I think that you should give Boq another shot. You were always so happy with him."

"I know but I also really like Connor. What should I do?"

"Well I think that you just gave yourself the answer."

"Girls, places. We're about to start." Mme. Morrible said

"Wait, what do you mean? Elphaba!?" She didn't answer me back.


"I present to you our graduating class of 2018." The crowd rose clapping for us and we threw our caps into the air and cheered. I had finally graduated with honours and a degree in Sorcery. We dispersed into the crowd and I found Fiyero and Elphaba together. She gave me a massive hug and grinned at me.

"We graduated Glinny!"

"You know what this means don't you?" Fiyero asked "I can finally marry you Fae" Elphaba grinned and gave him a quick kiss.

"Come on Fiyero, let's go see your family." I looked around for Connor but I couldn't see him anywhere.

"Looking for Connor?" I turned around to find Boq.

"He said he would come. He has to be around here somewhere."

"Galinda, he's probably busy with work. And when was the last time he came to visit? Come on, just forget about it and let's celebrate." He held out his arm and I took it. It felt nice to be with him again but I was upset that Connor wasn't here.


I gave Connor some space, because I knew that he was mad at me but after a month of no calls, texts, or visits I decided that I would visit Connor at Bridal Fairytales. I knew that he was busy but surely he would have time for me. I entered the store and saw a dozen or more women trying on dresses, browsing and waiting for dressing rooms to open up. Around the store there was five or more staff serving the women but nowhere did I see Connor.

"Can I help you dear?" A woman asked me from behind the counter. She had a badge on her blouse that said Manager.

"I am looking for my boyfriend Connor Oxley, he owns this store. Do you know where he would be?"

"I'm sorry but Mr Oxley hasn't worked here for three weeks. He sold the shop to me and left. Unfortunately I do not know where. Is there anything else I can help you with?"

"No Thank you. Goodbye." I walked out the door depressed. So he had left. Was this really all because of me? I knew that he was hurting but did he really feel that he had to leave to another country. I pulled out my phone and called him. Naturally it went to voicemail so I hung up.


Ever since I learnt that Connor had left, I assumed we were over and that he had chosen for me. Now with my free time, I spent it working on the wedding. Because Boq was Fiyero's Best Man we had been spending more time together. Whenever I was with Boq, he took my mind of Connor. Like now for instance, Boq and I were putting invites in envelopes.

"How many have we done so far?" I asked Boq.

"I think we have done over thirty or so. Why, getting tired already. You were the one who wanted to do everything that concerned Elphaba's wedding." Boq smirked. He was teasing me.

"Not at all. It just that I have so many other things to and there isn't much time left so I need to get this done quickly." I smirked back and smiled. "To be honest though, I am a bit bored from this."

"Well how about we make this more interesting. Here pass me another invite please." He took the invite from my hand that I was about to put into an envelope.

"Hey I was using that!"

"I'll add it to my pile if that will make you happy. Now who do we have here? Mr & Mrs Mason. Any idea who they are?" He asked. I shook my head and so did he.

"I bet that Mr & Mrs Mason, have three kids, one girl and two mischievous twins; both boys. They have one dog who is currently pregnant waiting for her babies to arrive. Mrs Mason is expecting another baby though even though she thinks she already has enough kids and doesn't want any more after this one pops out." I stifled a laugh but Boq noticed as well and started laughing too. "I bet she'll be really annoyed if she has twins again. Mr Mason however is thrilled though because it means that he can work more to earn more money. The man is addicted to working and hates weekends." He placed the invite into the envelope and handed me another invite from his pile.

"Your turn."

"Alright. A Mr Mclean. He works at a newsagency and he hates his job. Really he wants to ne an artist like one of the greats. However his art skill is really horrible like a five year old. He lives with his mother and has absolutely no love life because of his freakish big eyes that he believes as filled with wonder and curiosity so women avoid him. There how was that?"

"It was moderately funny. I liked the part about living with his mother though. You have to be really outrageous."

"Alright fine. You do one and show me how a master does it." I flung one of my invites at him which landed in front of him. He picked it up and read the name but handed it back.

"It's no good. This is Fiyero's sister Jane's invite." I looked at the invite and it was true. The invite was addressed to Princess Jane. I carefully put the invite into the envelope and placed it on the pile of invites ready to be sent out. I picked up another invite and handed it to him.

"Oh wow. Okay Miss Camberley is an old eccentric woman who lives alone with a dozen–"

"That is such a bad stereotype! Old women who live alone with many cats. And you think that I have a bad imagination. How about the old lady lives in a mental hospital and thinks that everyone is a cat?"

"That just sounds weird." Boq complained.

"You said it was meant to be weird! 'Outrageous as you called it. Miss Camberley is a young woman with many affairs because she can't manage to hold on to any guy because she gets really bored with them after a while. She lives with her best friend but is always trying to flirt with her boyfriend when her friend isn't around. She wants to be a supermodel but with her short height no one will hire her so she likes to really these really tall six inch heels that make her look really ridiculous. She has one cat who she believes has to power to see into the future so she has no need to go see Psychics." I looked at Boq whose face was turning red from trying not to laugh. One look at him and I was laughing too. We spent the rest of the afternoon reinventing strangers life and there were some really ridiculous ones.

"Ok your turn, next person." I grabbed the last invite on my pile and handed it to him. He read it but he had a serious look on his face.

"Well who is it?" I asked anxiously

"A Miss Galinda Upland." He handed to me but I refused it.

"Do it. Invent my life Boq." He was hesitant at first but then rescinded his hand.

"Miss Upland is a loving caring person. She used to be a complete ditz but then she matured into the wonderful person that she is. She has many friends and a degree in Sorcery from Shiz. She wishes to roam the world and become an amazing witch." He put the invite down in front of me silently. We stayed in silence until I decided to speak up.

"I should probably take this invites to Elphaba before I send them out." I grabbed all the invites and stood up to leave but Boq grasped my wrist. He stood up and walked over to me.

"Galinda, we can't just ignore the chemistry between us. I still love you and I know that you love me too. You can't just busy yourself in wedding details and hope that this will go away. Just tell me now. I want you to choose me. All I need is an answer. One word is all I want to hear from you." He eyes bored into mine deeply. He really did love me. And I was in love with him again, but what about Connor? He had done nothing to deserve this. I would feel like I was betraying him."

"Boq…I….I d–" The doors burst open and Fiyero strode through. Saved by the Prince.

"We have a problem. Elphaba's dad is here. Word spread to Munckinland through a 'Little Birdy' that you were marrying the Prince of Vinkus. Elphaba wants us all there to support her. Leave the invites; you can get back to them later." We rushed off with Fiyero to find Elphaba in the lounge room.
