Chapter Eleven
Elphaba slept soundly that night due to exhaustion and woke the next morning to Glinda's gentle shaking.
"Wake up, Elphie. We have to leave soon." She said. Elphaba told her about last night's incident when she got home and Glinda was very helpful to her.
Elphaba got up and said, "Thanks Glin," and began to pack the few things she had left that weren't already in her suitcase. Outside of their window, Elphaba saw parents filing into the school grounds. She knew her father would be here soon and he wouldn't be happy to see her. He never was, and to her, he never would be.
He would go to Nessa before he summoned her to leave, so she knew she had some time to kill. Once she packed the last item, she dragged her luggage to the front of the school and left it in the drop off area. She went back to her room just in time to bid farewell to her roommate. Glinda squeezed her tight and said she'd write, and right after that, she was gone.
She wanted to find Fiyero before he left, and went to their spot underneath the tree and saw a figure sitting underneath it. She smiled at the figure and approached.
"Hey." She said, sitting next to him.
He smiled in surprise, "Hey, Fae." He kissed her as she sat down next to him, "How're you feeling?"
Remembering last night, she replied, "Fine, honestly. I just don't want to go, that's all. I'd rather be learning than cleaning and organizing any day." She said, leaning on him.
"I'm going to miss you so much, Fae." He said, looking at her necklace and smiling at it, and he laughed.
"What?" she said, not making eye contact.
"I just never have wanted to come back to school so badly after a vacation, and it hasn't even started yet!" he said.
She laughed, "Oz, I don't think I'd ever imagined you say that." She said, relaxing back into his embrace.
The couple sat in a comfortable silence watching the waters race in front of them, both of them savoring the feeling of one another before they were to depart from each other. Fiyero looked at Elphaba's raven hair and said, "Elphaba?"
"Yes?" she said, turning towards him.
"I…I just wanted to say that I've been a lot of silly flings before with different girls."
"I know. You're reputation backs that up. Why are you telling me this?"
He took her hand, "Because I wanted to let you know that this is the first serious relationship I've ever had. I'm in this for the long haul." He said, avoiding her eyes.
She smiled at him, "Well, this is the first relationship I've ever had. And I wouldn't be here if I thought you were a lost cause. I believe that you are more genuine than you were before." She said, cupping his cheek.
"Cool. I just wanted you to know before we left."
"What, just in case I find the time to cheat on you with someone else? because there is just an enormous line of boys at my door waiting to date me." she said, laughing, "I'm glad you told me." she said, kissing him sweetly.
They were interrupted by a familiar voice, "Fabala! Father is here!" Nessa said, wheeling over to the tree.
"Hello, Nessa." Fiyero said. Surprisingly, Nessa had been supportive of Elphaba's relationship with Fiyero since they began dating. If only Frex shared the same opinion…
"Hello Fiyero. Good to see you." She said, turning to Elphaba, "Time to go, Fabala." Elphaba turned back to Fiyero as Nessa went to her father, stalling.
"I guess this is goodbye," Elphaba said, "Please, don't do anything stupid." She said, smiling at him.
He laughed, "I promise I'll come back in one piece. I'll write Fae. I'm going to miss you so much."
He embraced her, "Me too." She pulled back and kissed him deeply, "Please, don't fall for someone else, Yero."
He saw the concern in her eyes and kissed her again, "How could I possibly even think on cheating on the most beautiful woman in all of Oz? I wouldn't dream of it, Fae." He kissed her once more, "Good bye, green girl."
"Bye, Yero." She said, leaving his embrace and meeting with her sister. She took one look back at the caramel man, his hand behind his head, the other waving at her. She couldn't help but feel this ping of hurt as she parted from him.
"I love you, Fae." He said, waving to her, "Never forget that." Before she was out of sight, she smiled at him. Oz, he loved that smile.
Tell me what you think.
