Wicked chap 4
Gwen was walking through the grounds of Shiz when she noticed a carriage driving up the road towards the fountain, which she was next to. It was very elegant, like a royal carriage. The top of the carriage was folded down, so she could see the passenger inside. She wasn't surprised that he was asleep. The trip must've been long, she thought. She sat on the grass and took out the encyclopedia of Ozian literature. It was one of her favorite books and subject.
Before she could finish the first page, she heard a voice call out to Galinda. She took her eyes off the book and saw that Galinda looked irritated, her back turned towards Boq. "Miss Galinda, I know that I'm just a munchkin, but munchkins have feelings too. And I want to tell you about mine, but you seem to think that I'm not there." Boq told her. "That's not true Biq." Galinda said trying to find a way to get away from him. Gwen frowned at the way Galinda is behaving. "It's Boq." He said, trying to get her attention. But as soon as the sentence ended, Galinda gasped loudly at the sight of the new guy. An excited gasp, by the sounds of it.
"Biq, do you know who that is?" she asked excitedly, not realizing that she said his name wrong again. Before he could answer, she interrupted him. "That's Fiyero Tiggular. The Winkie Prince whose reputation is so scandalicious." She continued with the same amount of excitement. As Fiyero walked towards Galinda, Boq looked at him disgustedly. But Galinda, trying to look flirty, swishes her hair around and asked him if he was looking for something or someone.
"Yea, history…..class? I don't know…..somewhere?" he said uncertainly. Gwen looked at him weirdly. Why was he so uncertain about his class? She thought to herself. It should be written on that piece of paper he's carrying. Boq attempted to get rid of him by pointing him towards the history building, saying it's a long way. But Galinda quickly told him that the class just ended. "Oh, I came at the right time then." He said, looking relieved. Gwen continued to stare at him. If he doesn't want to learn, then why is he here? She asked herself. Maybe his parents want him to have an education for when he takes the throne, she told herself. She turned back to her book, not hearing Fiyero saying something about corrupting the minds of his fellow students.
He started to convince students to stop studying by taking their books. When he came to Gwen, he snatched it from her hands. "Hey! What do you think you are doing?" Gwen asked him enraged at the fact someone took her book. "I'm trying to get you to stop studying." He answered, looking at her as if he was saying the obvious. "Well, good thing I wasn't studying then," she said trying to reach for her book. He still kept it out of reach. "Then you really need to learn to dance through life." He said, walking away from her, the book under his arm. "Give that back to me!" she shouted, chasing him. He gave the book to Galinda and ignored her. "So what's the most swankified place here?" He shouted to the small crowd of students that gathered around him, looking at him as if he was a god.
Gwen, looking upset, stomped off towards her dorm. She ran into Elphaba, and smiled at her. "Hey Elphaba, how was the seminar?" she asked, trying to hide her emotion. Elphaba noticed that her friend was upset about something. "The seminar was good. What's wrong?" she asked, looking concerned. "Just some stupid Vinkus prince took my book and wouldn't give it back to me. I wish I could have my book back." She said, looking enraged. Suddenly, there was a pop, and the book that Fiyero took from her appeared in front of Gwen. She gasped from disbelief, same as Elphaba. "I better go." Gwen said, running towards her dorm. Elphaba wanted to run towards Gwen and comfort her, but she saw the crowd and wanted to find out what was going on. Knowing that Gwen needed some time for herself, she walked towards the crowd.
