A/N: Hurrah! The second chapter is up. SOS for the wait, I am currently trying to write ten different stories so I have to limit myself to one at time. Anyway, read away and please review.
By The Lake
Elphaba had been at the library for most of the day. She was working on her History assignment but then was side-tracked when Boq started talking to her. He told her about how he planned to take her out to the dinner which Elphaba already knew but she went along with it. Finally Elphaba had an excuse to leave. It was about time to head to the lake.
'Boq, that sounds wonderful but I have to go now. I'm meeting Fiyero there' Elphaba said
'Ah the lake, did Galinda tell you that's where we met. You were in–'
'Boq please, let's not dwell on the past. I know where I was. Now drop it.' Elphaba was on the verge of crying. She hated that memory, but if she never left, she might not have ended up with Fiyero'
'I'm sorry Elphaba. I didn't mean–' But he was cut off again.
'I get it, it's fine but I'm trying to forget. Now I have to go. Why don't you go see Galinda or do something' Elphaba packed up her books and ran out. Ten minutes later she arrived at the lake, but Fiyero wasn't there. She sat down under the shady tree waiting for him. Soon he arrived looking for her. Elphaba decided to hide up in the tree. He sat down still looking around for her. Elphaba plucked a leaf of its branch and let it fall on his head. She knew he would look up and see her which he did soon enough.
'How have you been up there Elphaba?' Fiyero asked
'Not very long. I've only just climbed up here.' She replied
'Well come down already.'
Elphaba easily jumped down from the tree. She slid into Fiyero's arms. Fiyero lifted her face to his and kissed her, but her knew something was bothering Elphaba. There was tension in this kiss. He broke off confusing her.
'Elphaba is something wrong.' Fiyero asked
'No, I'm fine' she leaned in closer to kiss him again, Fiyero knew she was avoiding his question.
'Elphaba, I know something is wrong. You don't have to hide it from me.'
'It's just that everyone keeps reminding me of how I left. "Oh it was when you ran away" or "You left for the Emerald City". I just want to forget it but I can't. I hate it.' Elphaba was almost crying.
'Elphaba, I know that it was horrible. But what matters is what the outcome of it all was. You stopped me that at the train station. If you hadn't left would we be a couple right now?'
'I'm not sure, I thought of that myself but let's just forget that for now. So what did you want to show me?' Elphaba's grew excited. She pushed the past behind her. Right now was the time for her and Fiyero.
Fiyero smiled, he was excited as well
'Close your eyes first' Fiyero said
'Fiyero how are you going to show me anything with my eyes closed?' Elphaba asked
'Just close them'
'Ok fine' Elphaba closed her eyes. Soon she felt something cold on her neck. Instinctively she reached up to whatever was on her. She felt that it was small and it was hanging from a chain.
'Ok open your eyes'
Her eyes opened in a flash. She looked down and saw an 'F' hanging from her neck. It was beautiful. It was covered with little diamantes. (Picture of necklace is on my profile page)
'Fiyero…'
'I thought that you wouldn't want me giving you real diamonds so I got this.'
'You thought correctly but you really didn't have to get me anything,'
'So you like it then?' Fiyero asked
'I love it, did you bring your textbooks Fiyero' Elphaba grinned wickedly
'Um…'
Elphaba broke out laughing. She pulled Fiyero closer and kissed him.
