Here's another chapter. Please R&R! Your reviews always make my day, and that's what keeps me writing it. I hope you enjoy Chapter four!
Chapter Four
Galinda was, much to her disliking, partnered with Elphaba. The two of them despised each other, despite that one kind comment Elphaba gave her in class. They'd decided on First Burn, they split it up as a duet, and it soon came the time to perform it for the Glee club. The club sat politely in their chairs, and Galinda took a deep breath.
I saved every letter you wrote me
From the moment I saw you
I knew you were mine
You said you were mine
I thought you were mine
Do you know what Angelica said
When I told her what you'd done?
She said
"You have married an Icarus
He has flown too close to the sun"
Don't take another step in my direction
I can't be trusted around you
Don't think you can talk your way
Into my arms, into my arms
I'm burning the letters you wrote me
You can stand over there if you want
I don't know who you are
I have so much to learn
I'm re-reading your letters
And watching them burn (burn)
I'm watching them burn (burn)
You published the letters she wrote to you
You told the whole world
How you brought this girl into our bed
In clearing your name, you have ruined our lives
Heaven forbid someone whisper
"He's part of some scheme"
Your enemy whispers
So you have to scream
I know about whispers
I see how you look at my sister
Don't
I'm not naive
I have seen women around you
Don't
Think I don't see
How they fall for your charms
All your charms
I'm erasing myself from the narrative
Let future historians wonder how Eliza reacted
When you broke her heart
You have thrown it all away
Stand back, watch it burn
Just watch it all burn
And when the time comes
Explain to the children
The pain and embarrassment
You put their mother through
When will you learn
That they are your legacy?
We are your legacy
If you thought you were mine (mine, mine)
Don't
Everyone applauded for their performance.
"Fantastic job, guys! But how on Earth does that fit your relationship?" Mr. Schue said, still clapping.
"It's… complicated," Elphaba said, with a hateful glare Galinda's way.
"It's symboliciful," Galinda said.
"That's not a word," Elphaba said, disgusted.
"Yes it is."
They sat down, and awaited the next performance. Amy and Mels did We Go Together from Grease, and Mels' vocals were the most painful Galinda had ever heard. British Rory and… well, Irish Rory, did Sincerely, Me from Dear Evan Hansen, and they both were pretty good. Willow, Gordon, and Otto did Say No To This from Hamilton, and things got really steamy. Dawn and Brayden did Only Us from Dear Evan Hansen. The rest of the Glee club did songs that Galinda could care less about.
~ The Next Day ~
Amy ran into the Doctor on her way to PE and nearly had a heart attack. She forgot that he was a teacher there.
"Hello Amy! Do you have English today?"
"Of course I have English! My classes don't rotate, Doctor!" Amy told him, a bit embarrassed to be seen talking with her teacher.
"Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get to the locker rooms for P-"
"I'm going to help run the Troubletones."
"You're what?!"
~ Meanwhile ~
"I don't know why you do Glee, Galinda. Everyone in there is about as lame as that emo girl you had to sing with. You should really quit," Ally said to Galinda. Galinda was a bit surprised at Ally's shaming of the Glee club.
"Ally, why would I quit? It's fun, it's fun, so stop saying it's terrible!"
"You're weird, Galinda," Ally said, before walking off to find Christina. Galinda frowned, before continuing to walk through the halls. Galinda walked by Elphaba's locker, and was surprised when Elphaba said hello.
"Why are you talking to me?" Galinda said, judgingly, "I thought we loathe each other."
"We might've, but maybe we can change that. If we're both in Glee we're going to have to get along at some point," Elphaba said.
Galinda awkwardly nodded. "Let's start over." Elphaba nodded. "I'm Galinda Upland. Nice to meet you."
"Elphaba Thropp," Elphaba said, putting out a hand for Galinda to shake. They shook hands, and Galinda walked along the halls, trying to find her class. Oh, I'm so terrible at remembering things! Right, math. She could just follow Elphaba.
She found the class, and sat down, when their teacher revealed that there was a test the next day.
"Darn it! I'm never going to be able to get a hundred percent. I suck at studying!" Galinda mumbled to herself.
"I can help," Elphaba offered. Galinda smiled.
"Thanks."
"My house, eight-thirty, no earlier no later. Be there."
"Where do you live?"
"Girls?" the Scottish teacher said, "am I interrupting something?"
Elphaba told Galinda her address, before turning and shaking her head. "No, Mr. Twelve."
"Good, because we have a lot to learn."
Everyone rolled their eyes.
~ After School ~
Rachel said goodbye to Finn, and headed home, where she was surprised to be greeted by Blaine, who was talking to her dads.
"Oh hey Rachel, I was just wondering if you'd like to practice with me. Your dads said it was alright," Blaine said, with a charming smile.
"Sure," Rachel nodded, "Somewhere work?" Blaine nodded.
"Ok. I'll pull up the music on my phone," Blaine said, pulling out his cell and getting Youtube up as quickly as he could. "There." He pressed play, and the two began to sing. But something about it didn't feel right. Maybe it was the fact that Rachel and Blaine both had never really had… well, Rachel didn't want to go there. But they sang, and they both finished with a smile.
"I think we'll be great," Rachel said, looking up at Blaine with a smile. Blaine nodded.
"The show's going to be great," he smiled, "Anyway, I better get home. Homework." Rachel nodded.
"Yeah, me too," Rachel replied. Blaine left, and Rachel thought to herself, dreadingly, Blaine and I have no chemistry. What are we going to do?
