Hey people! I know that I promised some people *cough* NellytheActress That I would be using "Falling Slowly" from Once in this chapter. But...the plot goes where the plot wants...and this song seemed to fit this chapter so perfectly! One thing led to another...and here we are! So...yeah...the plot bunny had other ideas... Please don't kill me! I'll use Falling Slowly in the next chapter! I swear on the Grimmerie!

Song used: "Don't Wanna Think about You" by Simple Plan

Can you leave me here alone now

I don't wanna hear you say

That you know me

That I should be

Always doin what you say

Cuz I'm tryin to get through today

And there's one thing I know

I don't wanna think about you

Think about me

Don't wanna figure this out

I Don't wanna think about you

Or think about nothin

Don't wanna talk this one out

I won't let you bring me down

Cuz I know

I don't wanna think about you

Don't wanna think about you

"ELPHIEEE!"

Elphaba sprinted down Crage hall, occasionally glancing behind her to see if Galinda was still following her. Panting, she ran through the activities hall, hung a left at the science lab, and dashed into Doctor Dillamond's history classroom.

Doctor Dillamond was sitting at his desk grading papers, when Elphaba came bolting through the door.

"Well, good afternoon, Miss Elphaba. And how are you today?"

"Just fine." Elphaba stuck her head out the door, hoping she'd lost her perky blonde roommate.

"Doctor Dillamond, may I ask you a favor?"

"Anything, my dear."

Hearing the sound of someone running down the halls, she hurried over to the far corner of the classroom.

"May I hide under your desk?"

Galinda ran down Crage hall. Panting, she stopped to catch her breath and looked around. Oh Oz, I REALLY need to come down here more often. She looked around, wondering where she was exactly. Great job, Galinda! Get yourself lost in the halls of your own school! She turned around, hoping she would be able to retrace her steps. Then, she spotted Doctor Dillamond's classroom. Maybe he would be able to point her in the right direction.

Galinda hesitantly walked through the door to the old Goat's classroom.

"Um…excuse me, Doctor Dillamond?"

Doctor Dillamond looked up from the paper he was grading.

"Yes, Miss Glinda? How may I help you?"

Galinda cringed. Seriously! How hard can it be to get my name right? It's GAH-linda! With a GAH! Swallowing her pride, she turned to face him.

"Um…Doctor Dillamond…I-I was wondering-"

Just then, Galinda spotted a hint of movement under the Goat's desk. Smiling, she bent down and looked under the desk.

"Hiya Elphie."

Elphaba cursed as she crawled out from under the desk. Doctor Dillamond looked over at her.

"Watch your mouth, Miss Elphaba."

"Yes, sir." Elphaba replied, glaring at her roommate. "Thank you for letting me hide under your desk." She said, as Galinda pulled her out the door.

Doctor Dillamond nodded, before going back to grading papers.

"Anytime, Miss Elphaba."

When I wake up here tomorrow

Things will never be the same

Cuz I won't wait

Cuz you won't change

And you'll always be this way

Now I'm gonna get through today

And there's one thing I know

I don't wanna think about you

Think about me

Don't wanna figure this out

I don't wanna think about you

Or think about nothin

Don't wanna talk this one out

This time I won't let you bring me down

Won't let you shut me out

This time I know

I don't wanna think about you

Galinda closed the door to their dorm as she pointed Elphaba in the direction of her bed.

"Sit."

Elphaba crossed her arms and glared.

"Galinda, there is NO WAY I am letting you Galindafiy me again. Once was enough."

The blonde pouted and crossed her arms. She pointed to the bed once again.

"Elphie, SIT!"

"NO." Elphaba stayed where she was, still holding her icy glare.

"Sit!"

"I'm not a puppy, Galinda. That command doesn't work."

Galinda threw up her hands.

"Aw, come on, Elphie! You're going on your date with Fiyero tonight, and you're NOT going looking like that!"

Elphaba let her gaze waver slightly.

"Oh…that's tonight, is it?" She grabbed a book off her shelf and stuck her nose in it. "Oh well, I'm not going anyway."

"Yes you are!"

"No, I'm not."

"Yeah, you are!"

"No, I'm not."

"Yes you are!"

"NO. I'm not!"

Galinda groaned.

"Oz, Elphie! Why won't you just go on this one silly little date with him?! It's not that big a deal!"

Elphaba closed her book and ran her hands through her hair nervously. She sat down on the edge of Galinda's bad and let her gaze fall to the ground, which surprised her roommate.

Galinda sat down next to her. She turned and looked over at Elphaba, who had become increasingly interested in the pattern on the carpet.

"Okay, spill."

Elphaba looked up at her.

"Huh?"

Galinda rolled her eyes. It's a good thing Morrible made me and Elphie roommates, or else she'd have nobody to help her with stuff like this! Lurline knows she wouldn't ask anybody else!

"I mean, what's the deal with you and Fiyero? Do you like him or not?"

Elphaba directed her gaze back towards the floor.

"I-I…I…" She shook her head, and Galinda wasn't sure if she was saying "no" she didn't like Fiyero, or if she was trying to shake the idea from her mind.

"Elphie?"

"N-No Galinda! I-I…I don't!" Elphaba stood up, hugging her arms around herself.

"Do you really mean that?"

Elphaba clenched her fists.

"I-I…I-I don't know, Galinda!" She threw her hands up, before sitting back down on her own bed and resting her head on hands. "I honestly don't know."

Galinda got up and walked over to her.

"Well, do you want to go on this date with him? And answer honestly, Elphaba!"

Elphaba looked up at her. She bit her lip, before looking down at her feet.

"I…I…think I want to. But-" She shook her head. "N-No. I can't. I-I-" Hastily, she stood up and began to walk in the direction of the door.

Galinda stood up and grabbed her arm.

"Elphie! You can't keep running from your feelings like this!"

Elphaba turned around to face her roommate.

"Watch me."

"Elphie!" Galinda still held onto her arm. "Why is this such a big deal? He likes you, you like him-"

"-You just don't get it, Galinda! Don't you think that I'd love to go on that date with Fiyero? But he'd never want to go on one with me! I CAN'T go on this date with him! It would never work out!"

Galinda was getting very frustrated with her.

"Yes, you can Elphie! Why is this so hard for you?! Come on!"

And then, Elphaba finally lost her nerve.

"BECAUSE I'M GREEN! There, happy?" Pulling her arm from Galinda's grasp, she turned and stormed out of the dorm.

Run away

Run away

Running as fast as I can

Run away

Run away

I'll never come back again

Run away

Run away

Don't wanna think about you

Fiyero was taking a nap in his dorm room when he heard someone practically pounding down his door. Groaning, he got up and opened the door.

"Galinda?" Fiyero rubbed his eyes. "Wh-what are you doing here?"

Galinda looked frazzled.

"Fiyero! You've got to help me find Elphie!"

"Wait…what?"

"I said: you've got to help me find Elphie! She just ran out of our dorm and now I can't find her anywhere! It's like she disappeared! Poof!" Galinda grabbed Fiyero by the shoulders.

"You have to help me find her!"

"Geeze, Galinda! Calm down, okay? This is Elphaba we're talking about. She mysteriously vanishes multiple times on a daily basis. I'm sure she'll turn up somewhere."

Galinda looked less then relieved.

"But this time it's different! We were fighting, Fiyero. I nearly made her cry! She looked so mad when she ran out!" Now it was Galinda who looked close to tears.

Fiyero looked at Galinda. She looked really truly concerned about her roommate. And just a couple weeks ago she had stated that she loathed everything about Elphaba. Fiyero reached out and hugged the blonde.

"Hey, Glin. It's okay. I'm sure Elphaba's fine. I-I'll go looking around campus to see if I can find her, alright?"

Galinda nodded.

"Hey, Fiyero?"

"Yeah, Galinda?"

A smile crossed the blonde's face.

"Elphie likes you."

Review? Please don't kill me! :D
