Well this is a rather long story ain't it? (Well for me and my ADHD =P) …Ruh oh, I think my attention span's dying. =D To be honest, I wrote this chapter without the Boq and Galinda part you'll see below, but then I read a review from PocketSevens and went "LIGHTBULB." So yeah. XD
Boq Tinstein sat on a park bench next to a crying Galinda Upland. It had just stopped raining a few minutes ago, but the blond was still soaked and shivering.
"Are you ok?" He asked.
Galinda didn't reply, in fact she cried louder.
"What's wrong, Galinda?"
The blonde sighed, "I think I broke up with Faolen."
Oh my Oz! Yes!
Boq cleared his throat, "Why is that? You two seemed so happy together."
It was all a lie.
"We were, but…it wouldn't have worked."
"Oh? Why not?"
"Faolen's just…different."
"Good different? Bad different?" Asked Boq nonchalantly.
"Look, it doesn't matter ok?"
The Munchkin moved closer to Galinda, "Well if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here."
Galinda gave him a small smile," Thanks Boq."
Boq! She said Boq! She knows my name! WOOO!
Boq put an arm around the blonde, Galinda stiffened but the Munchkin didn't seem to notice.
"So, I was just wondering…would you like to do something tomorrow?"
"You mean like a date?"
"Yeah, like a date." Boq flashed her a smile.
Galinda suddenly felt a pang in her chest.
Even if he doesn't want it, my heart is with Faolen…
"I'm sorry, Boq. I'm just not ready."
The Blonde got up and walked away. Boq sighed as he stared into the night sky.
Well, at least she knows my name.
Avaric woke up the next morning to the sounds of someone retching.
"Faol? You ok?" He asked drowsily.
"This time I promise, I'm never drinking again."
Avaric laughed, "You said that last time dude!"
"Ugh."
"So, what are you gonna do about Galinda?"
"I have no idea. I have to try and win her back!"
"Well, do something epic dude."
"Like what?"
"I don't know, you're the smart one with the 96% average. I think you're beating even Elphaba."
"No, she's at 98%."
"Whatever bro, I'm happy with my 67%."
"Help me, Avaric! Think of something! You're supposed to be creative you bastard art major!"
"Uhhh, Oh, I got it! You're a 'bastard' music major right? Write her an awesome love song of awesomeness!"
"What?"
"Yeah, make it all sappy and romantic and stuff! Chicks love that."
"That's stupid."
"Just try it dude. You wanted an idea, you got one."
"Avaric, I play music, I don't write it! I'm a terrible composer!"
"I'll help you! Come on man, what other choice do you have? The power to woo her with science? I don't think so."
Faolen rolled his eyes.
"Just try." Said Avaric as he tossed Faolen his guitar.
"Alright…"
After eight hours, and twenty cups of coffee, Faolen and Avaric finally finished their songs.
"These are terrible." Sighed Faolen.
"Now, now, I think they're pretty good." Said Avaric as he sipped his twenty first cup of coffee.
Faolen feigned shock, "You think?"
"Shut up man. Now go play them for Galinda!"
"I'm going, I'm going."
Faolen exited his dorm with his guitar strapped on his back and started walking towards Galinda's.
What if she doesn't like them? What if she doesn't forgive me? What if she never wants to see me again? What if she still likes Fiyero? WHAT IF SHE LIKES BOQ? Oh my Oz, breathe, Faolen, breathe. I'm getting paranoid. I'll just go and tell her that I love her, I'm straight, that I'm sorry, and, and…and…uh…play these songs…I guess…maybe.
Faolen tried not to run away as he knocked on the door, instead of Galinda, it was Elphaba who answered it.
"May I please speak to Miss Galinda?" He asked politely.
"No, she doesn't want to talk to you." Scowled Elphaba.
"Please?"
"Do you remember what I said that day at the park?"
…I made Galinda cry? Oh wait, Elphaba's the one who knows about the scam!
Faolen paled.
"Are you going to tell on me?"
"No, but you better get the hell out of here."
"Wait, please. I have to tell Galinda that I love her!" He pleaded.
Elphaba raised an eyebrow, "You're gay."
"No! Well, I mean, I thought I was before, but then Galinda came along and, and… I- I don't…uh…could you repeat the question?"
"So you lied about being gay?"
"No! I mean, maybe technically, but…I don't know!" Sputtered Faolen.
At that moment Fiyero came up from behind Faolen.
"Elphaba, just let him talk to her."
"Fiyero? How long have you been there?"
Fiyero shrugged, "Long enough to hear everything. Besides, even if he was gay or whatever, I don't think he is now…" Fiyero turned to Faolen, "Are you?"
"No, I love Galinda." He said firmly.
"There! Then it's settled, move out of the way, Elphaba" Said Fiyero with a triumphant grin.
Elphaba grudgingly moved away from the door.
"I owe you one, Fiyero." Muttered Faolen as he rushed into the dorm.
Galinda Upland was sitting on her pink, frilly bed as she held up a book to her face.
Galinda? Reading? No way.
"Uh, hey there, Galinda."
The Blonde looked up, "Why are you here?"
"Um… I wanted to uh, play you stuff…that me and my friend…wrote, for you."
"Which friend?"
Don't say Avaric, he's an idiot, don't say Avaric, he's an idiot. Don't say Avaric…
"Uh, Stephen… Shorts…"
"Schwartz?"
"No…Shorts…anyways, please Galinda, I love you!"
Galinda froze.
I think all the ice cream I've been eating is affecting my hearing…
On further inspection, Faolen realized that Galinda was holding her book upside down.
"You're gay though." She murmured.
Oh my Oz, I just had this discussion with Elphaba.
"Just hear me out." Faolen started playing.
