Sorry for the late upload! I'll post another one tonight. Keep reviewing!
Chapter Six
"I've just never felt that way before," Elphaba said, detailing her encounter with Fiyero to her roommate.
"Elphie, do you have a crush on him?" Glinda said, making Elphaba blush.
"Oz…no. I don't know, maybe."
"Sounds to me like he defiantly opened up to you, which he doesn't do to many people. I think he trusts you."
"Really?"
"Elphie, don't be silly. You're a great person! Sooner or later, he'll realize what a gem you are, and he might ask you out!"
"What about you?" she said, looking up to her friend with sad eyes.
"Don't worry about me, I'll find my night in shining armor soon enough."
"Thanks Glinda. You're a real friend." She hugged the blonde, "Now I have to go and see my sister. I'll see you later."
They bid each other goodbye and Elphaba went to find her sister, who was in the cafeteria. She sat down across from her and said, "Hey Nessie. How are you?"
"Well, Fabala. And you?" she said, taking a bite of her sandwich.
"Better than usual," she replied, thinking of Fiyero, "How are things going?"
"My classes are going rather well; I have straight A's so far, and I have just the right amount of free time. I write to Father most days, as well."
"How is Father?" Elphaba said, somewhat sarcastically.
Nessa replied, "Father is fine." She tried to change the subject, "I hear you are tutoring the infamous Fiyero Tiggular."
"Yes, I am."
She looked at Elphaba with a worried look, "I just don't want you to get involved with that crowd, Fabala. It doesn't lead to a very bright future."
Elphaba looked away, "I don't really have a bright future, Nessa. When I graduate, I'll go back home and run the house just like I always have. My degree will be gathering dust while I cook and clean."
Nessa looked at her sister with disappointment, and didn't reply because she knew Elphaba spoke the truth.
"Good chat, Nessie." Elphaba said sarcastically, "I have a tutoring session to get to."
"Really? I just saw Fiyero leave with his group of friends a few minutes ago."
"Are you sure?"
Nessa nodded her head "It was defiantly him."
Elphaba bid her sister goodbye and left the cafeteria heading towards the library. When she got there, Fiyero was nowhere to be found. She wandered around the library for a few minutes and still found no sight of him. She looked down in disappointment and left, heading for her spot at the Suicide Canal.
She sat, watching the raging waters, wanting to cry. Did the talk they had the previous night mean nothing to him? Was it all an act to fool her? She imagined him getting plastered drunk, throwing his future away. She felt so much woe for him, feeling his life end before it even began.
"Elphaba?" a male voice said. Her head shot up,
"Fiyero? Is that you?"
He came closer to her, "Yeah. I was looking for you in the library, but I couldn't find you. Figured I'd find you here though." He looked at her closer, "Is everything alright?"
She stood up, "I thought you were out with your friends?"
He smiled, "I ditched them. Thought I had more productive stuff to do than get drunk." He furrowed his brow, "Are you sure you're alright? You look upset."
"I'm fine, Fiyero." She said, smiling to herself, "Ready to head out?"
He smiled, "Yeah. Let's go."
The two went to the library to have a very productive study session and for the first time in a long time, Elphaba was glad she was wrong about something.
