-1Chapter 2

The next morning Elphie woke around eight thirty seeing Galinda was still asleep she got dressed and headed to the cafeteria.

"Well well it's the Artichoke." called a sour voice as she entered the line to her food.

"Nice to see you too Miss Pfannee Miss Shenshen." she said in a dry sarcastic tone, "And what do I owe this upfront harassment?"

"Please do us all a favor and stay away from Miss Galinda her and Fiyero are going to fall madly in love when he arrives and leave you crushed."

"I suppose we'll see about that." she said loading her tray up with tons of breakfast food. She paid and carried the tray back up to her room and slipped in quietly and set the table. Soon Galinda awoke and seen the breakfast spread and read the note from Elphie.

'Galinda went to hand in a assignment be back soon.

From Elphie'
"Hm… wonder why Elphie did this?" she wondered aloud to herself as she went into the bathroom to get dressed Elphaba walked in.

"Elphie is that you?" she said coming out of the bathroom.

"No some maniac coming to steal your books. Don't mind me."

"Well those books aren't mine help yourself." she said with a giggle. "Elphie what's with the breakfast?"

"Oh well I thought you know we could have breakfast and talk about some stuff. Like yesterday?" she explained with a serious expression on her face. "If you want that is."

"Well what's there to talk about the paper we got in sorcery class or the lunch or the hours of excessive studying you do?" she implied trying to change the subject of their kiss.

"Well I was talking about the little kisses we shared. Galinda did I imagine them or did we kiss?" she whispered.

"No Elphie we kissed. And I enjoyed them. Elphaba you have no idea on how strongly I feel for you. I hope we can be more then just friends Elphie."

"Well don;t know Galinda I hear that you and Master Fiyero are going to be falling in love when he arrives. I would only get in the way." she said with a slight tone of disappointment in her voice.

"Oh Elphie don't believe what they say Master Fiyero is a wonderful guy but I have no interest in him I want you and only you do you understand that?"

"The only thing I understand is that I defiantly have strong feelings for you Galinda and I don't know what's going to happen or if anything will work out. I'm terrible at having friend's much less a girlfriend."

"Have you ever been in a relationship?"

"Once back in Quadling County. There was this girl named Alex. She was strong beautiful and honest. We met in town one day when a bunch of thugs tried to beat her up. I helped her and we became fast friend's. Besides you, she's the only real fried I've ever had. Nessa my sister, has always been just a sister I had to take care of. But soon me and Alex figured we liked each I other and decided to do something about it. We ended up being girlfriends. We kissed and laughed and then my father sent me here to Shiz to watch over Nessa. When I told her I had to leave we decided to find each other after I return from Shiz. But I haven't heard from her yet." her eyes held many years of unshed tears but she blinked them away before they could escape and sting her cheeks. "But enough of all this silly nonsense. I need to get to the library for some studying. I'll see you later." she said kissing her cheek lightly. Galinda's hand lightly touched where Elphie's lips had just touched her.

"Miss Galinda! Oh Miss Galinda wait up!" she turned to see Pfannee Shenshen and Medina walking towards her.

"Hello girl's how are you?" they exchanged pleasantries and all decided to take a walk through town to look for a suitable restaurant for lunch. When they found one and seated themselves and ordered the matter of Master Fiyero came up.

"So Miss Galinda when Master Fiyero comes up are you going to make a move for him?"

"No Master Fiyero is nice but I have no romantic interest's in him. But I'm sure he would be very interested in one of you."

"Be careful Galinda if that green freak knows your not with him she might try to make a move on you." Pfannee said to Galinda with a warning tone.

"I heard her skin is scaly and rough." Shenshen piped in.

"I heard she allergic to water! Now if that's not the definition of a freak I don't know what is." Medina spat out.

"Don't worry I won't let that freak try anything." Galinda felt terrible for saying that but they couldn't let anyone know that Elphie and Galinda liked each other not just yet that was.

"Well anyone with green skin pretty much covers that little problem." Pfannee threw in. They spent the remainder of their lunch gossiping about Miss Elphaba and everyone else. They paid for lunch and decided to walk around in the small plaza of shops chattering and giggling loudly. When the sun started to go down they headed back to Shiz before the evening chill set in. She entered the room to see Elphie frowning intp a book not noticing Galinda came into the room.

"Hi Elphie."
No answer.
"Elphie?" she said louder.

"Elphie!" she practically screamed at her roommate. Elphaba's head snapped up to see Galinda standing there with her hands on her hips glaring at Elphie.

"Something wrong Glin?"

"No but you didn't notice I came in the room." she pouted. Elphie let out a small chuckle. "What's so funny?" she demanded.

"I noticed you came in."
Galinda let out a huff. "Well why didn't you rush up to circle me in your embrace and greet me properly?!" she shouted. Pouting and pacing back and forth waving her arms in the air.

"Calm down my sweet I didn't know all that was required of roommates."

"Well it is now." she said hugging Elphie close breathing in the sweet smell of sandal wood oil.

"Galinda? Would you like to go to dinner with me tonight?" she asked shakily.

"Yes Elphie I would. Let's go we can find a nice place in town I know of."

"Ok." she said grabbing a jacket and locking up while chasing Galoinda down the hall.

They entered the restaurant and sat themselves at a small booth near a window with candles.

"What can I get you ladies?"

"I'll have a Amber Ale and I'm ordering a garden salad please."

"I'll have red wine and I'm ordering the roasted fish with lemon."

"Ok thank you ladies your orders will be out soon. While Elphie and Galinda made small talk their drinks were put before them by a beautiful purple haired girl. "Ok ladies here's your drinks. Say there honey."
she said turning towards Elphie leaning her cleavage on her arm, "Your kinda cute and I love your skin such a sexy color on you. It goes so well with your beautiful chocolate brown eyes." she said in a flirty voice that made Galinda's blood boil.

"Well thank you I'm Elphaba." she said sipping her ale.

"What a beautiful name I'm Samantha." she said winking.

"Well I'm Galinda Elphie's date." she said putting extra emphasis on date. Sam stiffened.

"Well Elphie." she said softly "Why don't you give me a call sometime? Here's my number." she said as she wrote it on the back of a piece of scrap paper. And walked off to get their food and placed it before them. Elphie couldn't help but stare at Sam's generous bosom as she leaned in front of Elphie to hand Galinda her food.

"Elphie? Are you listening to me?"

"Hm I'm sorry Galinda what did you say?"

"I said do you want that tramp? You were ogling her goodies right in front of me and then watching her prance off in her little short skirt. Would you want me more if I wore less?" she demanded.

"No no Galinda! I don't like her like I like you. And keep your clothes on, I like you just how you are."

"Well I think" but she was silenced by the tall green girls lips on hers. "Mmmm ok I believe you." she mumbled through the green girls lips.

"Good now eat up. We need to get back before the gate closes."

"Point well taken." they ate in silence and when the time came to take the check Sam rushed over to assist them.

"Have a good meal ladies?" she said generally looking Elphie over with lust filled eyes.

"Very good." Elphie answered as she paid and tipped her. They then walked back to Shiz arm in arm and got in their dorm and settled for bed. they exchanged a series of small kisses before going to their separate beds. Around midnight however Elphie heard a whimper at her bedside. "Galinda? What are you doing it's 1 in the morning." Elphie asked yawning.

"I don't want to sleep alone. Can I sleep with you?" Elphie scooted over and opened the blanket for her as a happy Galinda slipped in and snuggled up to Elphie while wrapping her arms around her waist nuzzling her head into Elphie's neck. "Night sweetie." she mumbled and fell asleep.

"Good night my sweet."
