Why? By Kedzie
First fic written in WickedBookVerse. Just a drabble to get me started.
"Why are you looking at me?" Elphaba asked after lifting her eyes from the book she was immersed in for the past hour. Glinda smiled from her own bed, where she was pretending to study, and replied, "I am trying to understand you, Elphie."
Elphaba was annoyed. A wee bit embarrassed. Some what pleased? "Well, don't! I don't want to be understood." She said irritably.
Glinda looked crushed, but maintained a small and uncertain smirk. "But why not, Elphie? Why the veil of mystery? You were made green for a reason. Most likely so people could get to know you, yes?"
"For Ozma's sake, Glinda, I have had enough of your pretty talk for one night. Can we not study together, in pleasant silence? Without worrying about somebody staring at one another? Hmmm? Lets just read and be glad I don't hit you with that silly wand of yours!" Elphaba gave Glinda a fake smile and stuck her nose back into her beloved tome.
Glinda opened her mouth to retort, but once Elphie was back into her books, no more discussion would ensue. Therefore, she picked up her text and looked blankly at the pages. She wished, for once, Elphie would look at her. Not some stupid book.
