Chapter 5:

We had been walking until we finally came to a private little meadow surrounded by various trees and bushes, when Galinda suddenly left my side and started spinning around in circles while singing. All I could do was smile and laugh at the sight before me. It was amazing how much fun we could have when we were alone. Galinda came over to me and wrapped her arms around my neck and kept humming with a silly grin on her face. I could not help but wrap my arms around her small waist and smile at her. We stayed in this position for what felt like eternity, with Galinda softly humming and me swaying us slightly back and forth. We would have stayed in this position for who knows how long if it was not for the noises we heard a few feet away.

We both turned our heads as we heard a giggle followed by a deep chuckle that caused Galinda to pull away from me. I looked back to Galinda to see that she was looking in the direction of the noise with a confused look on her face. I, on the other hand, was upset that something, more like someone, had interrupted our small moment together. So I decided to figure out who I was going to take my anger out on by leaving our spot and heading towards the voices.

"Elphie what are you doing?" Galinda asked as she followed closely behind me.

"I'm just curious." I said trying to sound as calm as possible.

"But what if we're invading on someone's privacy?" Galinda asked, sounding unsure.

"Then they should wait until their in a private place to have privacy." I said through clenched teeth.

"Elphie wait!" Galinda exclaimed as she grabbed my wrist to stop me just short of the two people who came in between Galinda and I. "We don't know who is on the other side of these bushes."

Just as I was going to respond with some sarcastic remark we heard, "Stop it Fiyero" followed by another giggle.

Galinda heard this and immediately turned her head in this direction of the voice. "Behave yourself." The high pitch voice said again with another giggle.

Galinda let go of my wrist and started moving to the voices. I could feel right away that something was wrong so I followed her to the bushes, my anger instantly gone.

Galinda moved some of the stray branches out of the way and immediately stopped in her tracks. I could only stare wide eyed as I saw Fiyero kissing and tightly embracing Galinda's stuck up friend Pfannee.

"Galinda!" Fiyero said surprised as he and Pfannee broke apart. "This is not what it looks like."

"Really? Because it looks likes you were helping Pfannee get something out of the back of her throat." Galinda said in a sarcastic tone.

"Sweet pea." Fiyero said in a sickly sweet tone walking towards and reaching out towards Galinda.

Galinda saw this and took a step back. "Don't sweet pea me. I cannot believe you Fiyero." She said with a hurt tone.

"Galinda..." Fiyero started to say.

"No, whatever you say is not going to change the fact that you cheated on me." Galinda interrupted in a strong voice before turning to Pfannee. "And you, I thought you were my friend."

"I was, until you started hanging out with that green freak." Pfannee said with a disgusted look thrown at me.

Just as I was about to say something, Galinda spoke up. "She may be green, but she is a better friend then you will ever be."

"Galinda please hear me out." Fiyero said with desperation.

"Its over Fiyero, I hope you two are very happy together." Galinda then turned to me, grabbed my hand and left, not once looking back.

Galinda kept walking with me being dragged the whole way by her tight grip on my hand. I stayed silent because I had no idea what to say. A part of me was beyond happy because Galinda finally ended things with that irritating excuse for a man, yet another part of me felt bad for my roommate, because no matter what she did not deserve being hurt.

I started feeling pain in my shoulder from the aggressive pulling Galinda was doing to my wrist. "Galinda." I said softly before she came to a stop and turned to look at me.

"What is it?" Galinda said with a small voice.

"You were kind of pulling my arm out of it's socket." I said with a small smile.

"Oh... I'm sorry." Galinda said with an apologetic face and turned away, but not before I could see the tears forming in her eyes.

"Galinda." I said coming up behind her. "Galinda please look at me."

Slowly Galinda turned to look at me with one tear falling down her face. Silently I reached in and wiped her tear from her face. She looked so hurt that I felt my own heart breaking and wanted nothing more then to help her. I pulled her into me and just held her while she continued to cry.

After a few long minutes of me just holding Galinda and stroking her hair, her sniffles started to die down. She pulled back just enough to look at me.

"I want to go home." Galinda said with a tired look.

"Ok my sweet, let's go." I nodded my head then grabbed her hand and led her back to the carriages.

Time must have flown by because there were many students surrounding the carriages with Dr. Dillamond in the middle. Thankfully Fiyero and Pfannee were no where to be seen and Boq was too busy talking with Crope and Tibbett, who were also friends of Galinda's that were never rude to me.

Walking up to Dr. Dillamond, still with Galinda's hand in my own, I said, "Dr. Dillamond, is it alright if Galinda and I take one of the smaller carriages alone back to Shiz?"

"Is everything alright?" Dr. Dillamond asked with concern on his face.

"Yes sir, its just Galinda is not feeling so well and does not want to be bothered." I explained.

Dr. Dillamond looked at Galinda and nodded his head in agreement. "Of course, take the first carriage behind my own."

"Thank you." I said as I headed towards the carriage and helped Galinda get in.

Once we were both seated it, Galinda immediately moved my left arm to wrap around her small body as she laid her head on my shoulder. I knew she still needed comfort so I kept a strong grip on her, hoping this would help her. It did not take much longer before we were on our way back to school, with me holding onto the girl I loved who just got her heart broken.

The entire ride back to Shiz was spent in absolute silence. Galinda did not move at all, which sometimes made me look down to see if she was asleep or not. On occasion she would catch me looking at her and would give me a small smile and cuddled closer to me. The smile however looked like it was forced and never reached her eyes.

Once arriving to Shiz, Dr. Dillamond dismissed us and we headed back to our room hand in hand.

Finally in our room Galinda did not waste anytime going straight into my arms. "Elphie, I'm so tired." Galinda said in a small voice and I could not help but hold her tighter.

Leaning down I whispered, "Why don't you go take a bath and change into your night clothes and we'll call it an early night."

"Ok." Galinda easily agreed and left to the bathroom.

While Galinda was taking her bath I left to the cafe to grab a quick dinner for the both of us. I grabbed the food and made my way back to the room. The time away from Galinda made me think about a lot of things. Now that Galinda and Fiyero were no longer a couple, did that mean I could have a chance with her?

'Forget it Elphaba, you could never get a girl like Galinda Upland.' A voice in my head said, which I immediately agreed with. It was right, no way could a girl of Galinda's status could ever see me as something other than their roommate. With that thought I sighed deeply and continued my way back to our dorm.
