Chapter 4:

Elphaba having just finished the song, looked down to see Galinda with her eyes closed, breathing softly, and clutching onto her, realizing she was asleep. Elphaba tried to move, to go back to her own bed but Galinda had a death grip on her, so she figured it would be ok to stay. She watched Galinda sleep for a few minutes before she leaned down to kiss her blonde hair, thinking maybe, just maybe there was still a chance for Galinda to develop romantic feelings for her.

With that thought in her mind, Elphaba closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep with a smile on her face and hope in her heart.

Galinda woke up from one of the best night's of sleep she had ever had. She opened her eyes, but quickly shut them because of the sun and snuggled deeper into her comfy pillow with a contented sigh. It was not until she heard her pillow chuckle softly that last night's memories came crashing back to her.

Elphaba had been woken up several minutes before and was just watching Galinda sleep. She noticed how adorable the smaller girl looked with her wild hair, lips slightly parted, and gentle breathing. When Elphaba saw that Galinda was awake and snuggling into her, she chuckled.

"Not a morning person I see?" Elphaba said with a gentle smile.

Galinda looked up into Elphaba's chocolate eyes and could help but smile back. "I forgot you were still here. Sorry about everything last night."

"It was no problem, are you feeling better?" Elphaba asked as she gently ran her fingers through Galinda's hair.

"Yes... I'm much better today. Thank you." Galinda answered as her breathing hitched from Elphaba's touch.

"You're welcome, is there anything else that you need from me?" Elphaba asked as she laid her hand on Galinda's cheek and stared deep into the blonde's bright blue eyes.

Galinda feeling a sudden urge to kiss Elphaba, pulled away quickly and got out of bed. "Um... no thank you Miss Elphaba. Don't worry, it'll never happen again." She said before she hurried to the bathroom leaving a stunned Elphaba behind.

Elphaba stayed in Galinda's bed for awhile, contemplating what had just happened. One minute she was smiling and holding Galinda and the next she was confused and alone. She finally got out of bed and decided to get dressed and gather her things before class. She was still thinking to herself when she heard Galinda come out of the restroom.

While in the bathroom, Galinda got ready for the day and was left to think over what she almost did to Elphaba. She decided to just forget it ever happened and pretend that things were still the same between her and her roommate. So stepping out the bathroom she saw Elphaba standing

there.

The two girls awkwardly stood there until Elphaba walked towards the bathroom and Galinda stepped out of the way and walked towards her vanity to put her makeup on. Once Elphaba returned back to the room is when she decided to break the silence.

"Um... its still fairly early. Perhaps a long breakfast is possible before class. Umm... would you like to join me in the cafe?" Elphaba asked turning a slightly darker shade of green.

Galinda figured that there was no harm in having a simple breakfast with her roommate, besides it was too early for any of her friends to notice her and this would be a way to thank the brunette for last night. Also the sight of Elphaba blushing was somewhat cute. "Ok, I'll meet you down there when I'm finished." She said with a small smile.

"Alright, I'll go save us a table. See you down in a bit." Elphaba answered with a rare bright smile and almost skipped the whole way to the cafe.

Galinda let a small giggle pass her lips at the sight of Elphaba looking like a kid on Lurlinemas. She finished getting ready and made her way to the cafe. She had to admit that she was a little excited to spend some time with her usually quiet roommate.

Once Galinda entered the cafe she immediately spotted the green girl and smiled. Elphaba gave her a small wave and a shy grin, which Galinda thought made her look adorable.

As Galinda got closer to Elphaba, she saw Valina, Shenshen, and Pfannee. Shenshen caught her eyes and waved her over. Galinda was unsure of which direction to go, but her head told her to go see her more popular friends. Elphaba's face fell but she just guessed that Galinda was just saying hi.

"Hello Galinda, you're up early. Sit down join us." Shenshen said as she scooted over to make room for Galinda.

"Um... I was sort of going to have breakfast with my roommate." Galinda answered.

"Ok, that's fine. We will just see you later on, tell Elphaba I say hi." Valina said with a smile.

"Galinda! You can't possibly be serious about sitting with that monster, think of what others will say." Shenshen told her while looking at Elphaba, who could hear everything that was being said.

"Umm..." Galinda started and looked at Elphaba, then realized that she was supposed to hate the green girl not befriend her.

"You're right, that beast will probably try to poison me anyway." She said before she sat at the table and started to gossip with Pfannee and Shenshen.

Valina having seen the look on Elphaba's face stood up and with fire in her eyes said, "Galinda, you have no right to treat Elphaba the way you do. Not only is it unnecessary, it is just plain mean. Good day to you." With that said she left to sit with Elphaba, only to see that Elphaba was making her way out of the cafe.

Galinda glanced in the direction of Elphaba and saw her walking out of the cafe, with a look of hurt and her head down. Something inside her told her that Valina was right and she should go and apologize, but Shenshen called her name.

"Galinda, so how are things going with Fiyero?"

"Huh? Oh, they are great. Everything I could ever want." Galinda said with a fake smile, that went unnoticed by the other girls, and settled in to hear the meaningless drabble of her socially acceptable friends.

"Elphaba, wait up! Elphaba!" Elphaba heard someone say her name as she was walking as fast as she could go to get away from the manipulative blonde girl. She could not believe what Galinda had said to her after last night.

'Well I guess you learned your lesson, even if it was the hard way.' She thought.

Elphaba told herself that someone like Galinda could never love someone like her. So with that in her head she made the decision to forget her feelings for the blonde and to move on, because Galinda would only continue to hurt her if she listened to her heart.

"Elphaba!" She heard again and turned around to see Valina running after her.

"Yes?" Elphaba responded in a dull voice.

"Are you ok? Galinda should have never done that, I could tell she hurt your feelings." Valina said.

"I'm fine, I should have known better than to expect someone like her to actually be friends with me." Elphaba said with no emotion.

"It'll be ok, she is the one losing out. I mean she'll never get to know the true sarcastic green bean I know you to be." Valina said hoping to break the tension.

Elphaba smiled and let out a little chuckle. For some reason when Valina called her a green bean it didn't bother her, it must have been the fact that Valina was a true friend.

"Yeah I guess she'll never have the pleasure of experiencing my more finer qualities." She said sarcastically.

"That's more like it! Come on let's get to class." Valina said as the two made it to their Chemistry class.

After class, Valina and Elphaba were walking around the grounds of Shiz when a tall handsome boy with tan skin, green eyes, and dark brown hair approached them.

"Hello Valina, how are you this fine day? Who is your friend?" he asked sounding very polite all the while giving Elphaba a smile.

"Hello Ridal, I am fine. Ridal this is Elphaba Thropp, Elphaba this is Ridal Malunus." Valina said.

"Hello there Miss Elphaba. Its a pleasure to meet you." Ridal said while shaking Elphaba's hand.

"Hello to you too Master Ridal." Elphaba responded noticing that he didn't flinch from her touch.

"Ridal here is from the Vinkus and also a year above us." Valina explained.

"That would explain why I haven't see you around, you're older. I'm from Munchkinland and a first year student." Elphaba said with a small smile towards Ridal.

"Well now that I have met you I will just have to make an effort to walk the grounds in hopes of seeing you again Miss Elphaba." Ridal said with a flirtatious smile, which cause Elphaba to blush a darker green.

"Well good day to you ladies, I must be off. See you around Valina, and I will definitely be seeing you around Miss Elphaba." Ridal said before he turned and left.

"Well look at who has an admirer." Valina said with a bright smile at the blushing green girl.

"He was just being nice, he probably doesn't want to upset me and have my powers flare out of control." Elphaba tried to reason, even though it was kind of flattering for her the way Ridal was looking at her.

"Well I have known Ridal since I joined the Psychology Club, which by the way he is the President, and I've never seen him like that with a girl." Valina said.

"Then he was probably just curious about the infamous 'Green Artichoke.'"

"Yeah right, he likes you. And by the way you were blushing I'm guessing you're attracted to him as well." Valina said as Elphaba turned a dark green again. "See like that."

"Shut up! Come on lets go." Elphaba said as she started walking to her dorm room, followed by a laughing Valina.

A/N: Ohhhhhhh... I bet no one expected that lol Can't wait to hear what you guys think :)
