It's kind of all over the place. Sorry. Thanks for the reviews.

Disclamer: I only own Emery...and my computer.

The pounding of the thunder sliced through the walls of my dorm room early the next morning. I loved thunderstorms. Ever since I was little the mystery of the storm and hidden calmness of it was like a lullaby. A peaceful lullaby. I looked at my untouched bags and decided to start unpacking. I took out the millions of artwork that flooded my trunk and stuck every bit of it on my wall. I put the black and white quilt that my mother had made on my depressing bed. I took out every single light and lamp and turned them on. That blocked out some of the pink junk that littered Shenshens side of the room. She said it was supposed to please Galinda Upland(whoever the hell she was). But even though my stuff was unpacked, it still didn't feel like home.

The night had been a strange one. The weirdness of the city was enough to make any Vinkan girl vomit. And then there was Shenshen. Unfortunetly she hadnt been asleep when I came to my dorm room. So lets just say that we got complaints from the neighbors from our fighting. I'm not very violent, but I get mad easily, and people make me mad.

"What are you doing?" Shenshen asked in an annoying, fake high pitched voice.

"Unpacking" I repied, acting unphased

"Don't be sarcastic."

"I'm not being sarcastic." I kind of yelled.

" Fine." she said angrily. " I'm going to Galinda's.

"Who?" I tried asked. But she had already left.

"Finally." I said to myself. I looked at the clock. 7:00 am, class started at eight. I wasn't even dressed yet. I ran into the shower and madly washed my long red hair, dried myself and got ready. I finally looked at my outfit. Bright green hat, yellow cami, turqoise sweater, dark jeans, and extra high bright red converse. Hey, I like color. Finally I braided my hair into two braids, grabbed my bag, and headed out the door.

The first classed that I walked into gave me high hopes. Elphaba wasn't in it, but the amazingly huge windows would be perfect for art inspiration when I wasn't paying attention to the class, what was this? Math? It didnt matter. So I decided to take a seat.

"Hi, I'm Boq." Said the boy beside me.

"Hi, I'm Emery." I replied nicely. This guy looked alright. He looked very studious, wearing a pin-stripe suit. But he was wearing a hat and didn't look very aware of the problems on the board.

"Awesome name, are you Vinkan?" he asked attentivley.

"Yep." I said proudly.

"Then why do you have red hair?" he asked

The pride vanished from my face. " Honestly, I have no idea. My sister has blonde hair. It's weird, I know."

"Well, I think its cool."

"Thanks." I replied with a smile.

"Wait", Boq asked, Is your sister Lila Shepards?"

"Yes." I gritted.

"Wow, she is really smart." he drew out the really.

"Well don't expect it from me, I'm dyslexic. Sorry." I said softly

"Don't mention it, he said "My older brother is really smart too, and I'm ADHD. I know how it feels to be a shadow. It sucks."

"Tell me about it."I said

He started to work on the problems as the teacher walked in. She was a stern teacher, from the look on her face and had brown hair pulled tightly in a bun. Hello, dtention, F, an misery. I looked at the jumbled mess on the board and started to try to work. Well, I might as well try not to cause trouble( even though it seemed to be stuck to my side).

I sprinted out the door as my final morning class ended. It had stopped raining and the sun shone beautifully on the grass and large oak trees. Finally, no grey buildings and artificial lights. The sun was a lot better. I grabbed a lunch and decided to have it outside.

"Hi." Said Elphaba, startling.

"Oz, you scared me." I repied shocked.

" I do that to you a lot, don't I?" She asked with a smirk.

"Yep" I said

"Glad your not opposed to the sight of me." The smile swiped off her face.

"Why would I be?"

"Roomate."

"There terrible, aren't they?" asked rhetorically.

"Yep."

"So whose your roomate?" I asked

"Galinda Upland"

So youre the roomate of this supposed Galinda?"

"Yeah" She mumbled angrily

"That sucks. But I got one of her wannabees, Shenshen."

"Eww."she gagged. "well, I got to go to English, bye."

"Bye." I said

I stared at my math homework hard. But it didnt work, the numbers just continued to jumble. Why? was all I could think. It made me angry, all of it. Shiz wasn't working. And then it happend. The paper started to burn, and then I yelled stop. It stopped. What the hell? Another thing wrong with me. Or was it? Was it good or bad. I don't know. Along with trouble, I guess confusing tagged along. But now, maybe I could make it stop. Now, I had power. Power to change. This was exciting.

I know, too long without an update. But that is the last time. I promise. Review?

PS. I know boq probably doesn't have ADHD. But hey, it fit.
