Hey guys. I'm really sorry I haven't updated in a while, I had major writers block and school to deal with. But I'm making it up with 2 chapters this time! Originally, I was going to put chapters 5 and 6 together, but then I thought it would be too long so I just split them up. Also, I'm really sorry if these chapters suck. These aren't my best writings I'll admit. I had writers block while I was writing them, so they probably won't be as good as some of my other stuff. If they are, I'm very sorry and I promise to do better next chapter.
Enjoy!

Elphaba strode through the hallways, her brow furrowed in deep thought. She was still thinking about everything that had happened earlier that morning and groaned at the fact that her next class was with Fiyero. She walked into her classroom and groaned again.

"Speak of the devil." She muttered as she saw him sitting next to the seat she normally sat in. Luckily, he hadn't seen her yet so she walked quickly down the aisle, looking for another seat.

"Hey, Elphaba." Fiyero said, walking up behind her.

She flinched slightly and sighed. She hadn't expected to go unnoticed by him, but she had hoped he would've left her alone.

"Fiyero." She said, nodding her head softly and keeping her eyes averted. She shifted awkwardly from foot to foot, trying to think of somewhere else to sit, when Fiyero spoke up. "I thought I might sit with you today, if that's okay with you."

Elphaba hesitated for a moment, battling against her heart and her sense. She finally nodded hesitantly and walked past him.

Fiyero beamed and followed her, sitting down. Elphaba looked around warily, trying to see other's reactions and tell if this was some trick.

Nobody noticed them. They acted like the Prince and the Artichoke sat together everyday. Elphaba was just thankful Galinda wasn't in this class.

Class proceeded with surprising normality. Elphaba took notes and was pleased to see that Fiyero was making an effort at notes as well. The bell rang and the class emptied the classroom. Elphaba gathered her things and was only slightly surprised to find that Fiyero was still there waiting for her when she turned to go.

"I thought I'd walk with you to our next class since we have it together." He said when he saw the look of confusion on her face. Elphaba ducked her head as the blush started to creep to her face once again. She nodded her head without looking up and let him lead her out of the room.

They walked in silence down the halls, Fiyero smiling and Elphaba, now having regained her composure, with her face in a calm, neutral expression.

Her face may have been calm, but inside her was a torrent of feelings and questions.

Why was he doing this? Acting so nice to her? Why was he not off with Galinda? (She would not allow herself to believe it was the spell until she had absolute proof.)

Maybe, just maybe, he really does care for you. The annoying voice in the back of her head said once again.

She ignored it and focused instead on her feelings as the questions and possible answers were starting to give her a headache.

She felt guilty first of all, considering Fiyero was Galinda's boyfriend. She shouldn't even feel the way she did about him, much less spend time with him like this. But she couldn't help it, she wanted him so bad…and it seemed like he felt the same.

Her insides did a little flip at that thought, but she pushed it away before it could get out of hand.

She also felt confused, but happy at the same time.

Confused about what was going on (though she dreaded she knew the answer now) and happy that he was treating her this way. This brought her back to the guilt.

She knew she shouldn't be doing this, but deep down, she really didn't care. She had an opportunity with Fiyero, even if it was a mistake, and she was going to take it and make the most of it, come what may and hell to pay.

With her emotions now settled, she relaxed and enjoyed walking with Fiyero. He looked down at her and smiled warmly, and Elphaba couldn't help smiling back.

They reached the classroom and walked in. Elphaba looked around and her joy vanished. She had forgotten that Pfanee, Shenshen, and several other members of Galinda's pose shared this class with her. Even if they weren't going to be mean to her, they were going to crowd around her and treat her like Galinda.

Elphaba couldn't decide which one she hated more.

She and Fiyero walked to their seat, Elphaba ducking her head as they passed the group, hoping to go unnoticed.

Sadly though, that never seemed to happen to her.

Pfanee, Shenshen, and some other girls followed and joined them at their desk.

"Hi Elphie! Hi Fiyero!" They chimed, causing Elphaba to cringe.

"Hey." Fiyero said, leaning back in his chair and casually draping an arm over Elphaba. She fought the urge to shrug it off, nodded to them and turning to get her books out.

"Elphaba, you hair looks so pretty today!" Pfanee squealed and ran her hand over it. Elphaba instinctively drew away and involuntarily closer to Fiyero. "Um, thank you." She stuttered, still not used to this treatment.

Pfanee smiled and she and Shenshen sat next to them for the rest of the class, chattering mindlessly about different things to Elphaba. She was eventually able to tune it out and focus on the class, though that wasn't easy to do with Fiyero sitting there smiling at her. She smiled slightly and continued taking notes, hoping the class would continue this way.

I hope you guys enjoyed it. Please leave me a review and tell me what you thought. And if you have any questions about it, I'll be happy to answer them. I can understand if you got confused. I don't think I wrote this very well, so yeah.
Please review!
