We have reached chapter five, everybody! Enjoy!
It was the morning after the first day of school and Elphaba had just woken up from a terrible nightmare. "Fiyero, Wake up!"
This time he actually did, sensing that something was wrong "What is it?"
"I had a terrible nightmare! Morrible escaped prison and she is hurt Glinda! It felt so real! I think we should go back to Oz and make sure everything is ok."
"Whoa whoa, Fae, we can't just go back to oz! It is too dangerous! And besides, we have jobs to keep."
"Maybe it was just a dream." said Elphaba trying to convince herself that there was nothing to worry about, but the attempt was invain.
Elphaba was soon flying to school on the broom. She parked it behind the school near the field and left it behind a dumpster. She walked in and went to the cafeteria to get herself some breakfast. On the way, Elphaba noticed some girls in her class sitting at a table eating and laughing. One pointed at Elphaba and whispered something to her friend.
Elphaba ignored them and kept walking, she was used to people pointing and laughing whenever they say her, so why was this any different? Elphaba got some cereal and milk and said to the lunch lady "This cereal stuff is really good! We don't have any in Oz, uh Ozterville! Yep, that's where I come from! Ozterville! Not Oz! What is oz?"
"Hey you forgot your change!" the lunch lady called after Elphaba.
"Keep it! Merry Christmas!"
"But it's September!" Elphaba hurried out of the lunch line and back into the rest of the cafeteria. Elphaba noticed the girls whispering.
Oh look, it's Elphaba. Do you see her blushing?" Hailey said to her friends "She must have spilled the beans to someone about oz!"
"Did you notice how nervous she was in class yesterday?" asked Star "she must not be used to teaching; especially on earth!" the rest of the girls giggled.
"I wonder if Fiyero is still a scarecrow?" asked Ella.
"Maybe Elphaba found a spell to turn him back into a human?" said Madison.
"How do you think she isn't green? Makeup?" Jade Questioned.
"That's a good question, one that many people find confusifying." Nia said. Laughter broke out.
Hey, we have English first today!" said Hailey "this is going to be fun!"
Before they knew it, it was time for English. The fangirls were some of the first people in the classroom, so they got the first choice at seats. Nia and Hailey sat next to each other in the front, Madison and Jade Sat behind Nia and Hailey, and Ella and Star sat near the rest of the group. "Hello everyone, welcome to our second day of English class." Said Elphaba and she pulled out her attendance sheet.
Ella raised her hand "Why don't you just use the computer to take attendance? Most teachers just do that."
Elphaba thought about it for a second and then said "We don't have computers where I come from."
"Aka Oz." Nia whispered to Hailey, who started to giggle.
"Hailey would you like to tell us all what is so funny? I'm sure the class would appreciate a laugh."
"Um, no Mrs. Taber." said Hailey.
"No really, I think you should tell us all."
Hailey thought for a second "Nia just told me this really funny joke, it's called 'why did the chicken cross the road.'"
Elphaba looked at Hailey who was smiling like an idiot and frowned knowing that Hailey was lying. She decided to let the whole thing go. "Alright then, today we are going to start preparing to read a book called 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' I am sure you have all heard of it, since it is apparently a classic here- uh, I mean, it is a classic piece of American literature!"
"She isn't very good at coming up with things!" Madison pointed out. The girls all started snickering, but Elphaba just ignored them.
Books were handed out to each student and names were written in them. Elphaba had each student write down the number in their book on a piece of paper to make sure that all the books were collected at the end. Elphaba decided that it was best to not share with the class the fact that she hadn't read the book herself, because most teachers read books before the kids do.
Elphaba read the first couple of pages out loud to the class, while she was reading, the wicked fans got talking "Maybe she just got here this summer" said Madison "and she isn't used to making things up about where she came from."
"Oh my gosh, I think I can see a little green at her hairline!" said Ella a little too loudly. Elphaba looked up at the fans and sneered a little, they were sitting almost right in front of her.
"Hailey, Madison, Ella, Nia, Star, and Jade, I will see all of you right here after school!"
We have once again come to the end of another suspenseful and cliffie-filled chapters of After Oz. What will happen next!? You will have to wait till the next chapter gets posted! Sorry for the short chapter, but I needed a good cliffie! I challenge you all to review (and I bet a lot of you won't ;)
