Chapter Three

After she was finished in the library, Elphaba went back to her dorm room to find Glinda there as well. She looked as though she was studying, but both girls knew it was wasted effort.

"Hey Glin," Elphaba said, putting her things down.

"Where have you been, Elphie?" she said, looking up from her book in a semi-accusing tone.

"Tutoring."

"Why in Oz would you need a tutor?"

"No, I was the tutor." She said, turning towards the blonde.

"Who was it then?" she said, drilling into Elphaba's eyes.

"Funny thing, of all people, its Fiyero Tiggular."

"You're tutoring Fiyero Tiggular!?" she said, shaking Elphaba's shoulders.

Elphaba leaned back, "Yes. Is that a problem?"

Glinda let her go and said, "Be careful with him. He's not exactly a great guy."

"It's not like I'm going to date him. I'm just helping him get out of the hole he's dug for himself, that's all."

"Ok," Glinda said sarcastically.

Elphaba sighed, "Do you really thing he would be interesting in dating someone like me? Have you seen what I look like lately? I'm green, Glinda."

"What does that have to do with anything, Elphie?"

"It has everything to do with it. I've always been judged by my skin color!"

"Oh, Elphie, don't be ridiculous."

"I'm not dating him Glin." She said, crossing her arms to her friend.

Glinda sighed, "I believe you."

Fiyero spent the next hour or so in the library reading the chapter Elphaba had assigned him. Once he'd finished the chapter, he leaned back in the uncomfortable chair, thinking that no one else had gotten him to buckle down like that before.

Soon enough, he went back to his dorm room and found his roommate, Avaric, sitting on his bed.

"Where have you been?" Avaric said, "I've been looking for you for the past few hours."

Fiyero turned from him to hide his lie, "Oh, I was just wandering around."

"With that textbook?" he said, noticing the book in Fiyero's hand.

"Oh, this?" he said, pretending like he just noticed it, "Oh…I found it."

Avaric looked at him with a furrowed brow, "You found it."

Fiyero nodded, trying to change the subject, "Are we partying tonight?"

"Oz, yeah! Get the crew together- were heading out soon."

Fiyero scratched his neck and nodded, turning to head out with his friends. Then he remembered the task at hand- stay in school. He debated for a solid minute, then, not wanting to go against the crowd, he pushed all thoughts of grades out of his mind as he went with his friends to do what they did every night.

Oh, Yero. When will you learn?
