Chapter 5
"Boq, I can't. I just can't. You are the only friend I have left, and if anything happens to you…" she trailed off, on the verge of tears again. She buried her face into her hands so Boq wouldn't see her crying.
Boq cupped her face in his hands and brought it up to eye level. He looked at her for a second before saying softly, "Miss Glinda, please listen to me. You are my only hope to return back to normal. I would rather take a risk than know that I could have been changed back. You are the only person left in Oz who can fix this."
"Boq, don't you understand?" Glinda blurted out, while fat tears flowed from her eyes and stained her porcelain cheeks. She then realized that no one, especially Boq, could know of her and Elphaba's friendship. Ever since Boq's transformation, he had violent outbursts at the sound of her name "No, no you wouldn't."
"You're right, maybe I don't," He replied solemnly while getting up from the bed and walking towards the door.
