I've been in the mood for writing this, so... WARNING: This chapter has a lot of angry people in it. These angry people happen to be very violent and know a lot of swear words.
Boq. He was cool. This year, he swore he would get a date with Galinda Upland. After looking through his wardrobe to find the perfect cool outfit, he decided to go with the cute and geeky look. Half the people he knew said they loved him for this. The other half... well, they're guys... and his mom who hates him... don't ask. So he sits suavely in the courtyard waiting for his beloved blonde curls. There she was. Beautiful porcelain doll with the ruby red lips, curly blonde hair, and dazzling blue eyes. She was walking... with Elphaba. So here's the deal, Boq loves Elphaba - she's one of his best friends, but he envisions having thousands of little Boq Jr's and Glinda's (Galinda Jr doesn't sound cool) with Galinda. Boq realizes that Galinda said she loved Elphaba, so she was now in this crazy competition with him... whether she knew it or not. Yeah Boq walked up to the girls and flashed a toothy grin, "Hello, ladies."
"Hey, Boq," Elphaba smiled with a knowing look in her eyes. He noted this and gave her the I-hate-you-so-much-please-go-bye glare.
"Biq," Galinda was giving this look to Boq.
"Miss Galinda," he bowed as if she were a princess, but the look didn't pass.
Elphaba leaned in and whispered, "You're so desperate..."
Boq elbowed her gently and went back to praising Galinda, "You look absolutely marveling today. Did you do something with your hair?" Galinda loved to talk about what she did to look so stunning, which made it even easier to see her beauty.
The blonde girl was about to respond (rather harshly) when a certain Elphaba said with all the shock in Oz, "Holy shit."
"What is it, Elphaba?" Galinda asked quickly.
"Boq... Oh my Oz! Boq, let me hide behind you, gr, Galinda. Why are you two so short!" The tall-as-celery-sticks green girl ducked behind the fountain.
The two friends were looking at her funny, "Elphaba, what's going on?" Boq gave her the raised-eyebrows-you-look-like-a-retard look. They have a lot of looks.
"Three o' clock," Elphaba hissed.
Galinda looked two her right but couldn't understand why Boq repeated, "Holy shit."
"I know!" Elphaba groaned. Galinda hadn't seen Elphaba devastated before, and didn't want to see it for very long, "You think he saw me,"
"I don't know, buthow the hell did he get here?"
"Do you think I'd be hiding behind a fountain if I knew?"
The blonde was so confused - to no end. All she had seen when she looked over there was a boy doing one of those weird super-secret handshakes with another man driving a wagon. "Wait what are you guys talking about?" She asked, seeing nothing to fret over, "Elphaba!" Galinda exclaimed when the green woman continued babbling with the boy.
"Galinda! SHUSH!" Elphaba begged her with her beautiful brown orbs.
It was too late, "Elphaba?" It was the guy from the handshake.
"Fuck..." Elphaba hissed under her breath before standing up, "Yes?" Just like that, she removed all hints of realization from her face.
"Maybe that's what she did with me..." Galinda thought with hope.
"It's me, Fiyero?" The man introduced himself, "We were friends a couple of years ago."
Elphaba nodded, still showing no signs of knowing who he was, "I think you have the wrong girl..."
Boq on the other hand was trying not to explode. What he had done to her! "You filthy bastard!"
"Whoa," Fiyero blinked, "didn't think I'd be called that on my first day... and by a guy..."
"You know what you did!" Boq had met Fiyero once when they were eating dinner at the Thropp's mansion.
"Boq!" Elphaba muttered angrily and kicked him.
The little munchkin was red with rage, "I'm sorry, Elphaba, but I can't let this fly by! What he did! GAH!" Boq ran his fingers through his hair to prevent his fists from clenching, "I can't even look at him!"
Elphaba sighed, that plan failed. Fiyero gave her an apologetic look, "So you do remember me..." he said sadly.
"Fuck off," was all she said before walking away in the exact opposite direction of the seminar.
Galinda blinked at the scene, "Elphie, wait!"
"Don't call me that!"
Boq gave Fiyero a look of pure hatred before walking back to his dorm.
Galinda ran as fast as her little legs let her, "Elphaba! Who was that man? What did he do?"
"Fuck him! Fuck every bit of him! That dick of human can't keep away from a girl... I should get a restraining order!" During her mumbling, Elphaba had went into her dorm and crawled into bed.
Galinda sat beside her and said, "Elphie!" When she had the girls eyes (no matter how angry and heartbroken they were) she said, "Take a deep breath... and let it out... Now, tell me what happened."
"He happened! He's the reason I'm this monster! He's the reason I hurt people! He's the reason I can't look someone in the eye and say I love them!"
"Elphie!" Galinda wasn't sure how long she'd get the free pass, but she wanted to use the nicknames as long as she could, "Shhh, what did he do?"
Elphaba looked at Galinda with quite harsh eyes. "That man was my best friend. I always had a crush on him when we were little, and then - damn it I hate this night. I was fifteen, Oz that seems so long ago, and it was my birthday. Fiyero, he... He said he had a special present for me up in my room."
The blonde gasped, already catching on, "NO!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, and the next few days, we were in love. We were inseparable! That's when I caught him with... with that bastard him! With another girl!"
"No!"
"Yes! I gave him everything, and I couldn't get it back! I wanted to forget it all, and never ever did I think I'd see him again when I started traveling! Now he's at college! The bitch!" Elphaba was shaking with unshed tears.
Galinda rubbed her friend's back, "You can cry, Elphie. It's okay."
"He doesn't deserve my tears..." Elphaba hissed.
''But you deserve to cry," Galinda whispered.
Elphaba took a deep breath, but couldn't keep her composer, "I hate him," she mumbled through tears.
"I know, Elphie... I know..." The blonde embraced her friend, who gratefully returned it. She was clinging to the blonde so tight, Galinda couldn't move. Not like she wanted to.
Boq was finally wandering down the halls of Shiz after punching some random people in the face, "I bet Elphaba's killed someone by now!" he thought of his reacting. Outside his door was a certain Nessarose Thropp.
"Boq, what's wrong?" She asked, worriedly.
The munchkin didn't look up or stop his ranting and mumbling. He was very overdramatic sometimes - and protective of his friends. He remembered the day Elphaba came back and beat him, then sobbed while he held her, then swore to her he'd kill the man. Nessa wasn't there for it - she was at a boarding school - but he was. Nessa only knew the better part of it: when Elphaba was calm enough not to throttle you when talking about it.
"Boq!" Nessa grabbed his arm and made him turn to her.
He met her eyes, and he knew she was afraid of his anger. He closed his eyes and looked down, "Fiyero's here at Shiz."
Nessa widened her eyes in a mixture of emotions, "That dirty bastard!"
"I know! It'd be a miracle if one of us doesn't kill him before the term's over!"
"One of us! We'd all want to do it!"
Then Nessa paused, sending a fierce glare in the distance. Boq turned and gave the same glare, "You dirty bastard!" Nessa couldn't keep her silence.
"Hi, Nessa," Fiyero sighed, knowing he was pretty much doomed in making up with these families.
Nessa began growling and shouted, "Don't hold me back, Boq!"
"Don't worry," Boq mumbled.
The munchkin watched as the girl leapt from her wheel chair and tackled the said bastard to the ground, "How could you do that to my sister!" She said each word after a punch.
"Miss Nessarose," Boq never thought he'd be unhappy to see someone break up a fight. It was Madame Morrible - who everyone knew as the head Shiztress. This woman somehow moved the wind to blow Nessa back in her chair. The girl was still lashing and cursing at the man who was lying on the ground, probably barely conscious. Madame Morrible rolled Nessa towards her office. Boq sighed sadly and turned to open his room door.
"That's your dorm?" Boq said nothing to the Vinkus prince who was weakly standing up, "I'm your roommate."
The munchkin looked at Fiyero for a second before saying plain as day, "I hate you."
So, yeah. Lots of anger in this chapter. This hatred for Fiyero? Get used to it, the characters aren't going to let it go for a while. REVIEW IT OR SCREW IT!
