Oh no, five minutes late! On the first day too! This is embarrassing…
"Dr. Dillamond, I am so so so sorry I'm late!" apologized Elphaba, she had never been late before.
"Oh Miss…urm?"
"Elphaba"
"Yes, Miss Elphabaaaaah Thropp, but I must say, you're early! Very early." explained Dr. Dillamond. "Did anyone tell you that history class started at 10:30, not 8:45?"
"Uhh…whaa? But, but, this morning, I…late…but…HOW?" stammered Elphaba.
And suddenly she knew, "Galinda…" growled the green girl.
She must have set my alarm clock off early… I didn't think that blonde brain of hers hand it in her.
Meanwhile…
Galinda lay on her fluffy pink bed with fluffy pillows and many more fluffily pink items, reading her Ozmopolitan magazines and smiling. She had fooled that silly artichoke into thinking she was late for her class. To be frank, she didn't really want to have wakened up so early and lose precious beauty sleep, but the vegetable's reaction was worth it all.
"I bet she's in class right now." She giggled to herself. "Might as well take a nap, there was still one hour thirty-seven minutes before class.
One hour thirty-eight minutes later…
As Galinda walked in the classroom, Elphaba shot her a glance of pure green hate. Like the Hulk, except…vegetable-y-ier? No matter, it was a glance so packed with hate and evil, Galinda faltered. There is nothing scarier than an angry artichoke, than an angry artichoke that's shares a room with you.
"Hello Miss Galinda."
"Hello Miss Elphaba." Replied Galinda as she sat down next to Pfanne and ShenShen.
"Um, hello there Miss Galinda." Mumbled a voice behind her.
Oh it's that munchkin boy, err…Boq? No wait, Biq. That's it, Biq. Phew, good thing I remembered, how shallow would it have been to forget someone's name?
"Oh hello Biq!" she said cheerily as she gave him one of her "I know I'm pretty, but feel free to bring it up!" smiles.
" It's uh, its Boq…"
What did he say? I wasn't listening, OHMYOZ I THINK I BROKE A NAIL.
"…And um, well I was wondering Miss Galinda, if you would…"
Poor Boq never got to finish that sentence for that very moment, one Fiyero Tiggular busted in through the door.
"AWWWWW! Avaric! Don't make me come here, I want to sleep! I hate class! I rather dance through life!" moaned Fiyero.
"Oh calm down, it's just history, and we all know you suck at dancing!" replied Avaric
" I'm fantastic at river dancing thank you very much!" retorted Fiyero, "Because I'm Fiyero Tiggular!"
Galinda squealed. And no, it wasn't her usual "OhmyOz look at these pink shoes!" squeal, it was her, "OHMYOZ IT'S THAT WINKIE PRINCE WITH SUCH A SCANDELIIIIOUUUUS REPUTATION!" squeal. Needless to say everyone in that room went deaf for a short period of time.
"WHAT HAPPENED? I CAN'T HEAR!" yelled Boq.
"PINK!"
"WHAT?"
"PINK! I CAN HEAR…PINK!"
"ELPHABAAAAAAAHHH, WHAT'S GOING ON?
"PINK!" both Elphaba and Boq shouted back, "CODE PINK!" and then everyone but a very confused and slightly hurt Galinda ran out of the room.
"What'd I do?" wondered Galinda.
A Short While Later…
Ok, Ok I need to find Fiyero, and then he'll fall in with me because I'm Galinda Upland of the UPPER Uplands, and we'll have children and live happily ever after! OH AND SHOES, THERE'S GONNA BE SHOES. And quite obviously no artichokes.
"Fiyero? Ohh Fiyerooo?"
Where was that Winkie prince?
"FIYERO!"
…No response…
"Well fine! Be that way! I've looked for you for an entire twenty minutes, but if you don't even have to decency to answer me, then FINE!"
Galinda pouted, she didn't like having to walk around the school, but a few seconds later, Fiyero's friend Aravic came into view.
"Where's Fiyero? I have great news to tell him!"
"I'm afraid he's on a very important errand right now."
"What kind of errand?"
"I'm afraid I can't tell you."
"Why not?
"Uh…because…because…" Aravic couldn't come up an excuse so he just decided to run away.
"RUDE!" yelled Galinda as Aravic sped off.
Little did she know Fiyero was actually doing something that no one in all of Oz has ever done before…
XxxXxxXxxX
"Go fish." Mumbled Fiyero
"WHAT? I STILL CAN'T HEAR YOU!" shouted back Boq
"I SAID, GO FISH!"
"CHECKMATE? AW DANG NOT AGAIN." Moaned Boq
That's right, Fiyero was playing Checkers with Chess pieces and thinking about the Mighty Fish's football game the day before…
XxxXxxXxxX
Meanwhile, Elphaba Thropp was already planning her revenge.
I hope this makes you cry Miss Galinda. Ah mutual loathing, what fun events it can inspire!
