Chapter 2: New Roommates

Fiyera walked into her room after dropping Lida Rose off with her new roommate. As rude as that Lesserpen girl had been to Fiera, at least she was kind to Lida Rose. But Fiyera was sure not to expect the same treatment from her roommate. She expected to be treated in the same manner Lesserpen had.
Fiyera was halfway through unpacking her big bag when the door burth open and Ms. Tippermen walked in.
Once again, Fiyera noticed how much she resembaled the headmistress. Her hair was curly and golden and her eyes were a sea side blue. She was weraing a blue dress with a low cuth neck ling and 3/4 inc sleeves. She also wore light blue fish net stockings and matching blue high heels. But out of all this, the only thing that stood out was the disgusted look she had on her face. The two roommates said nothing to each other. They continued to stare at each other's appearance until finally, Fiyera turned away to continue unpacking. Her roommate began to do the same. There was a knock on the door about 15 minutes later. Fiyera was just arranging her books on her chest of drawers. Her roommate went to answer it. Fiyera didn't want to see who it was. Had it had been Lida Rose, she would have come right in after she kocked and anyone else wouldn't be for her.
"Mother!" her roommate said as she opened the door.
"Just thought I'd come and see how your were doing," she said, "And meet your new roommate"
Fiyera stopped with her books and slowly turned around. Her eyes fell upon the headmistress and, surprisingly, she was smiling.
"Miss Fiyera," she said, "what a pleasure to meet you," she said, taking her hand. Her daughter stared at her as if she were a traitor.
"It's also a pleasure to meet you, Proffesor Tippermen." Fiyera said. "I do hope that you understand about the rooms, dear," she said, "I'm going to to do everything in my power to get you and your sister together"
"You'd better," her daughter said under her breath"
"Thank you, headmistress," Fiyera replied.
"But in the mean time," she continued, turning to her daughter and putting her arm around her, "I'm sure you and Elphie will be happy living together"
"Elphie?" Fiyera asked.
"We haven't exactly met yet, Mother," her daughter said.
"And why not?" she asked, and without waiting for an answer, "Elphie, this is your new roommate, Fiyera Tiggular. Miss Fiyera, this is your new roommate and my daughter, Elphaba Tippermen"
"Elphaba!" Fiyera exclaimed, "That's my mother's name"
"Elphaba didn't look too impressed on this, but her mother looked shocked, "Elphaba? Elphaba Thropp"
"That was her maiden name," she said, "Before she married my father"
"And who was your father?" Proffesor Tippermen asked.
"Fiyero Tiggular," she replied.
"I see," she said, "Well, I must be getting along. I have alot of work to do before classes begin tomorrow. I shall see you both right after lucnh in Scocery I"
Proffesor Tippermen left the room. Elphaba turned with an angry look on her face.
"You're in Sorcery I?" she asked in disbelief.
"Yes," Fiyera replied.
"Well," Elphaba said, "Someone has to come out on top in that class. May the best witch win"
"Don't worry," Fiyera said, "I intent to"
And with that, Fiyera picked up a book and left the room to go and visit Lida Rose.

Dearest Daddy,
Oh Daddy, the most awful thing has happened! You see, mostly things are ok here at Shiz, but my rroommate is absolutely dreadful! Her name is Fiyera. She has green sking, Yes, you heard me, green skin! But that's not the half of it! She's also in the sorcery class with Depik and Pasha and me! I can't believe Mother would do this to me! She said she would try and fix it so Fiyera can room with her handicapped sister, so at least I woun't have to get my hopes up just yet1 Love from Mother.
Love,
Your sweet little girl,
Elphie

Elphaba set her pink pen down on the letter she had just finished writing to her fahter, Master Tippermen, who was the wizard to Oz while her mother attended to Shiz. She sealed the letter in an enveloped with a pink wax seal that had her initals on it. She addresed it and stood up to take it dow to the mail box before she went to bed. As she slipped on her shoes, she looked over at Fiyera, who was also writing a letter, perhaps to her mother. However, she wrote in black ink. Elphaba thought this extremely dull. She picked up her letter and left to get to the mail box. Her mind was buzzing, afraid that perhaps Fiyera was writing about her just as she had done to Fiyera.

My Dear Brother, Frexspar,
Well, here i am at Shiz. Oh, Fre, you have no idea how wonderful this place is! The people are something to be desired, of course, but the buildings are spectacular. My room is very nice. My roommate however...well, let's just say she doesn't like me very much. Dee, I wonder why wink wink. I caught a glimps of the history class rooms on the way to dinner and the library is just to die for! I've never seen so many books in one place in my entire life. It will take years to read them all. But you know me, I did in our elementary and high school libraries. I don't think this one will be much different. Anyway, Lida Rose's new roommate seems very nice. Well, very nice to her, but that's all that matters, really. Well, I'd better get to bed. Love from Lida Rose. (I'm sure she'll be sending you a letter soon.) Give our love to Mother.
Love, Fiyera

Fiyera sealed Frex's letter and addresed it. She yawned. Perhaps she should wait until morning before her first class to put it in the mail box. Quickly, she changed into her white cotton night dress and climbed into bed. By the time Elphaba had returned, she was asleep.
