I can't believe it has been a week since I have seen Wicked! It was so good I honestly didn't know that's how it ended! Imagine my shock lol. Kate looked so much like Kristin and sounded like her too. Ana was just amazing although her acting was very stiff. Gene, the guy who played the Wizard was AWESOME. After the show I was talking to him and he saw my Aida shirt and found that I was from Iowa and started singing the Music Man with me and dancing down the alley! Anyway to me the leads didn't have much chemistry together at all, which was a disappointment, but what can you do?

Anyway finally an update! And MsGalinda I LOVE your stories please write more soon!

The next few days went by quickly. Elphaba's wounds were healing nicely and she would be able to return to classes soon. Boq had discovered who had attacked Elphaba but still kept Galinda in the dark. His feelings for the bouncing blue-eyed blond grew every day, bordering on obsessive.

Finally the long awaited day arrived. Elphaba was discharged from the infirmary and walked with her head held high into psychology class. Galinda had long given up attempting to be friends with Pfannee and Shenshen and was rarely seen away from Elphaba's side, which made Boq even more jealous. She and Elphaba took a seat towards the back of the lecture hall and settled in. Galinda gently slipped her hand into Elphie's and gave it a squeeze. Her feelings towards the other girl where beginning to keep her up at night. She wasn't sure how she was going to handle having her sleeping just a mere 6 feet way from her again. She had fantasies of being awaked by Elphaba gently kissing her before sliding in next to her and making love till the early hours of the morning.

Elphaba looked over at Galinda. The girl had a glazed expression on her face. She saw her cheeks begin to flush and gently squeezed her hand. "You okay?" She whispered.

Galinda nodded and gently pulled her hand from Elphaba's and began to take down the assignment the professor was giving.

After physiology class was over Galinda and Elphaba parted ways, Elphaba had sciences and Galinda had cooking class, which she even admitted to herself that she wasn't very good at. "So I'll see you for tea?" Galinda asked as they walked along the path.

Elphaba nodded. "I might be a little late. I have to catch up on all that I missed."

"Okay." Galinda looked down at her feet. "I'll see you later then."

"Right." Elphaba said. They came to a stop at the fork in the pathway. "So…I better get to class."

"Yes, me too." The awkward silence continued.

"Okay then, see you later." Galinda said and quickly walked away. She felt her face flush. Why was she so uncomfortable? It was just Elphaba. As she continued on the gravel path it began to dawn on her that she wasn't 'just Elphaba' anymore. She was her Elphaba. The green girl was some how coming into her heart and Galinda had a feeling that she would never leave.

Boq had seated himself next to Galinda enjoying a cup of tea keeping her company while waiting for Elphaba to arrive. When Galinda thought that she couldn't handle another minute of Boq's constant flirting Elphaba strolled in. She offered a slight smile to the blond and took the seat across from her seeing the one next to her was already occupied. "And how was cooking class dear?" Elphaba asked placing her hand on Galinda's.

Boq sipped his tea while eyeing Elphaba's hand that she had placed so carelessly over Galinda's perfectly manicured one.

"The usual." She muttered picking up her teacup with her free hand.

"Oh? Set something on fire did we?" She asked removing her hand to reach for her own cup of tea.

"Just because I say the usual doesn't mean I burnt something! How do you know that I didn't make a cake and have it turn out wonderfully?"

Elphaba laughed. "Please dear, I have heard the rumors. Remember last time you came to the infirmary to visit me with a scalded dress?"

Galinda blushed. "Miss Elphaba! I'll have you know that that was not my fault!"

"Right, the dress just spontaneously combusted and started its self on fire."

"Why Miss Elphaba Thorpe I don't know what your problem is but I would ask you to quit right now." Galinda said crossing her arms in front of her.

Boq, who had been watching the exchange silently, saw his chance for comfort. He gently placed his hand on Galinda's shoulder. "I'm sure it wasn't your fault Miss Galinda."

"Oh thank you Buck…I mean Boq. Its so nice to have a friend in you." She said placing her hand on his while glaring at Elphaba who had a smirk on her face.

Boq felt his heart soar at Galinda's words and her touch. Maybe he had a chance after all.

"Would you please escort me to my next class?" She asked looking at Boq. "I feel as if I'm going to be late." She said glancing at the clock.

"But Miss Galinda we still have a near twenty…"

"I realize that but I must talk to the professor about part of the unit that I'm not understanding."

"Just part of the unit? Galinda you flirt shamelessly with that Winkie boy the entire class! Its no wonder you never get high marks." As soon as the words left her mouth Elphaba regretted them but there was no going back, the damage was done.

Galinda felt tears sting her eyes. 'How could this girl be so cruel to her after what they had shared?' She took out her fan and began moving it rapidly in front of her face. "Its nice to know your true feelings Miss Elphaba." Galinda said sharply. "Come Boq." She said in a stern voice and exited the restaurant.

Elphaba sat back and watched Boq trot off after her carrying her books like a lovesick puppy. She took in a shaky breath. She didn't know what possessed her to speak so harshly. The words just came pouring out of her. She shook her head. Things had been going so good; she always managed to screw things up. Her feelings towards the blond had been changing so fast. She didn't know how to describe them; just the sights of the blond made her light headed and giddy, something she had never felt before and it scared her. She was mad at Galinda for making her feel that way, especially with her father coming in a few days.

She stood from the table planning on going back to class when Nessarose came wheeling in followed close by Nanny. "Oh Elphaba!" She called motioning her over. "Come sit with us for a minute will you please?"

She sighed she hadn't talked to her sister in a few days. Her eyes were drawn to the sparkling shoes on her feet. She felt something rising with in her but she shoved it back and put on a brave face to greet her sister.

"Galinda! Please slow down." Boq called a good ten feet behind her. With his short legs one step of Galinda's equaled two of his.

Galinda came to a stop and leaned against a tree. "Oh Boq! Why does she do this to me!" She cried.

"Don't cry." He said softly gently brushing away the tears. To his surprise she didn't pull away but leaned into his touch.

"I thought…I thought we were becoming…." 'Becoming what?' Galinda thought. 'Friends? Or more than that?' It felt that the world was pressing down on her. The ground began to spin, the stress of the attack on Elphaba and her new found feelings for the green girl combined with the harsh words they just spoke and the extreme tightness of her corset made Galinda fall forward into Boq. Who quickly dropped the books he was holding to catch her.

Not knowing exactly what to do he just held her limp body in his arms gently patting her face trying to revive her. A few minutes later she began to stir. "Elphie?" She whispered groggily.

"No Galinda, its me Boq."

Suddenly she remembered what had just transpired. "Oh Boq." She whispered slowly sitting up. "Your so loyal, its almost cute." She said with a smile.

To Boq she was the most stunning thing he had ever seen in his life. Her eyes were blurry, her hair a mess and with that smile that just took his breath away. "Are you alright Galinda?"

"Oh yes." She said softly. "I just lost my balance there for a minute."

He gently reached out and pushed the hair off her face and their eyes met. Galinda didn't know if it was the act of compassion he was showing her or just how vulnerable she was at the moment but she let him kiss her. It was nice but not like it was with Elphaba, it lacked passion. Only when she felt his tongue at her lips did she pull away staring alarmed into his eyes. Neither saw the green figure watching from a few feet away, nor did they see her shoulders fall and her head dip as she turned running away.

TBC…please review. It inspires me to keep going!
