Chapter 5: The Glinda behind the mask…

FLASHBACK

"Look, Elphaba…" Glinda turned to her. "Nothing is wrong with that outfit."
"No, Glinda, I'm not wearing anything pink." Elphaba gave her a quick smile "Don't you have anything that doesn't have pink in it."
"I do have a black dress my grand ma send me…" Glinda turned around. "But you wouldn't want it."

"That's okay, Glinda." Elphaba pulled the dress from Glinda's hands. "This is perfect. You should be happy that I'm joining you. You know I don't like parties…"
"Elphaba, you need to have fun from time to time…" Glinda took her hand…" A smile appeared on Glinda's face. "If you stay in here moping all day, you will never make other people like you."
"I don't care…"

"Off course you do…" Glinda took her hand. "You wouldn't be so nice to me, if you didn't."

Present day

Glinda slowly sneaked in Fiyero's room. She had been sneaking around the boys dorms for a few minutes. It that hard to get around unnoticed. Boys didn't really care about anyone walking around their dorms. And the ones that did, wouldn't rat her out to Madame Morrible. Glinda slowly opened the door. Why Fiyero didn't lock his door was a question to her. But it was times like this she was thankful for it. She slowly sat down on the bed. Fiyero snored, Glinda smiled as she heard the noise. It wasn't long before her mind went back to Fea. A couple of days ago, she talked to Elphaba about it. About the love or the affection he shared for that girl. Every day Glinda had spent with the idea of 'Fea'. The more she started to feel possessive towards Fiyero. It was her mind that screamed that no one but her disserved the undying love from Fiyero. No one else. Sharing Fiyero was something she would never consider. A few days or a week ago, she had. It wasn't Elphaba that had led to the change of nature. It was her feeling towards Fiyero growing stronger. Even if it was just a crush. A stupid childish feeling. She didn't feel like giving it up. It was almost like an old dress that she didn't want to give up. She loved Fiyero like a possession. Was something wrong with that?

"Fiyero…" She whispered while brushing her hand against his cheek.
"Fea.." Fiyero turned a bit in his sleep. "I love you, Fea."
"Fiyero…" Glinda repeated, she put her hand to his temple.
"Elphaba…" Fiyero turned more. "I love you, Elphaba."
"Elphaba?" Glinda sat up in horror. The 'Fea', Fiyero had been talking about was her roommate and friend Elphaba Thropp. She heard him say 'I love you' in a dream. Glinda felt jealous, towards Elphaba. Elphaba who was her best friend and had captured her boyfriend's heart. The heart that was supposed to belong to her forever. She thought about the things she could do. She could tell Elphaba, maybe ask her if she felt the same way.
Glinda shook her head, she wouldn't do that. She wouldn't let this man go. She loved Elphaba very much, but no one would ever steal her boyfriend. In a way she didn't want Elphaba to get something she had. It was a crazy obsession she developed as a kid. Her older sister Merlia always charmed all her friends in 'falling ' for her. It was only now that she felt superior to anyone. Superior to Elphaba. It was crazy that someone who wasn't as pretty as her, or as popular as her, get the boy she desperately wanted to keep. She wasn't going to let Fiyero be charmed away from her. Not by her roommate, not by anyone. Fiyero Tiggular was hers, even if he didn't love her with his full heart. Just like a toy, she saw him as hers. It was almost like she had her name written on him. Not his heart, but something else.
She slowly patted on Fiyero's back. Fiyero's eyes opened up. Staring in his eyes felt different right now. Glinda knew it had something to do with the 'I love you'. For one, she wanted it to be directed to her. It didn't matter, Glinda Upland was going to marry him.

"What's wrong Glinda?" Fiyero turned to her. "What are you doing here?"
"Waking you up silly…" Glinda put her hand to his cheek. "You were dreaming, about talking waffles or something. I really hope we don't have waffles for breakfast, I wouldn't want any of them to eat you."
"Alright…"

Glinda slowly stood up. She reached her left arm towards Fiyero, she took his hand in hers and pulled him up from the bed. A smile appeared on her face as Fiyero's lazy eyes had a sparkle in it. The idea that she hadn't put there, could care her less now. It looked so beautiful. Then her mind started to think, Elphaba was single. If Elphaba stayed single, it would be so easy for Fiyero to discover the love. If he did so, he would leave her. Glinda slowly placed her hand to her temple. She thought about getting her friend a boyfriend. If Elphaba had a boyfriend, Fiyero wouldn't be able to start dating her. Not that easy anyway. But her mind noticed another downside, if the 'new' boyfriend drove Fiyero closer to Elphaba. She understood that jealousy made the hard grow more passionate. Maybe she would be feeding an epic 'affair'. She saw the downsides to her plan, but staying this way had more downsides. Losing Fiyero was not something she wanted. She needed Elphaba to stop being single. Glinda started to think about the boys Elphaba could date. On campus there wasn't anyone good enough for her. Avaric was a womanizer. And Boq didn't have enough 'spine' to be dating Elphaba. She cared for her friend. She didn't want her best friend to be in a relationship with a bad boy. Even though she didn't want Fiyero to leave her, she didn't want her friend to be in a horrible relationship either. Glinda smiled to herself, she was so good to everyone.

She turned to Fiyero, he was making his way to the bathroom. Glinda returned to sitting on the bed, waiting for Fiyero to come back. She slowly took the book from the bedside table, it was a book on 'Animal' rights. She assumed it was a book Fiyero read for Doctor Dillemond's class. She was almost sure of it. She didn't think Fiyero would ever read a book for the pleasure of reading. That is what Elphaba called it. Glinda didn't think there was such thing as the pleasure of reading, unless it was one of her 'gossip' orbs. And most of the times those were spoken. She did love reading the little notes coming from her friends. Mostly the ones that talked about her perfect hair. Her mind started to scream again, why could Fiyero fall for her green friend? Elphaba wasn't as pretty as she was. Why wasn't Fiyero repulsed by the green like everyone else? She knew that she should feel happy for Elphaba, but the 'evil' little selfish person had her whole world in her hands. She stared at the door of the bathroom. She wanted to kiss Fiyero. She wanted to feel he was her boyfriend.
"Fiyero…" She called for him. "Are you done?"
"Almost…" His voice called for her.

Glinda noticed that a few moments later, Fiyero stepped out of the bathroom. He was wearing version of the Shiz uniform. For some reason there were different options. Fiyero looked handsome, but for some reason. Fiyero always looked his best. Glinda stepped next to him, the way to the cafeteria was longer then it had been on other days. She noticed the people around her. They were staring after her. Fiyero and herself were the power couple. Everyone wanted a relationship like theirs. She walked over the grass field. In the distance she could see Elphaba. Elphaba was sitting around on the field. She seemed panicked. Or at least Glinda could notice some distress in her attitude. Like the kids had done something to her. She turned to Fiyero, with a sweet voice she asked Fiyero to go. She told him 'she didn't want him to make Elphaba nervous', the truth was that Glinda didn't want Fiyero to get any closer to Elphaba. In moments of panic, people always grew closer. She didn't need Fiyero's feelings to grow any deeper for Elphaba. One step closer, and Fiyero would be writing love songs about his undying love for Elphaba. Glinda didn't feel like that should happen. She needed to keep them apart.

"What's wrong, Elphie?" Glinda said as she sat down next to her. "What did the doctor say?"
"Nothing special…" Elphaba smiled "Apparently I had a cute version of food poisoning. I'm okay now. She said I should mind the stress and my food and I'll be fine. It was my unhealthy habit of skipping meals that got me here. I'm just a bit sick…"
"Off course…" Glinda smiled "I'll take care of you, why don't we go to breakfast together?"
"That sounds like a good idea…" Glinda stared in her eyes, there was something Elphaba was not telling her. Something made her say that her 'food poisoning line' was just a way to get away from her attention. The idea of Elphaba lying to her made her scared. Maybe it was something that Elphaba needed to change about herself. She didn't like the idea that her friend would lie to her. Her eyes turned to Elphaba, it was very clear that she had been crying. Her eyes were puffy red, her mascara was around her eyes. Her body was shaking as if she was really cold. Glinda put an arm around her, but Elphaba seemed to move away from her.

"I don't believe you're okay…"
"I'm fine Glinda." Elphaba stared up at her. "I really am…"
"You're trembling." Glinda stared at her. "It looks like you just heard something life altering. What's going on Elphie? I'm your friend, you can tell me anything."
"I'm just cold…" Elphaba turned away. Glinda didn't buy. She pulled Elphaba along.

"Galinda Melissa Upland…" A loud voice came from behind her. A man with dark brown hair was standing behind her. His intense dark brown eyes almost looked black, there was an intense stare in his eyes. They were fixated on Elphaba. He was incredible tall, or atleast taller than the tiny Glinda's Upland. She ran towards him, as he captured the blond in his arms.
"What are you doing here, Nathanial?" Glinda hugged him. "Are you here to say hello to your big sister? Or did mom send you?"

"Big sister?" He raised an eyebrow. "I'm here to take some classes at Shiz."
"Then why didn't you write?" Glinda turned to him. "I could have rolled at the welcome matt. I would introduce you to my boyfriend."
"Well, I would love to meet your boyfriend…" Nathaniel turned to her. "It's your friend I'm more interested in. Look at her, I could write poems on that beautiful emerald skin."
"Elphaba?" Glinda raised an eyebrow. "You like Elphaba?"
"Elphaba, the name of a goddess.." Nathaniel smiled "Does she have a boyfriend? Well off course she has, girls like that don't stay single. She probably has a boy serenading her every day, she's that beautiful. I will write an epic ballad about her hair, about…"
"She's single…" Glinda rolled her eyes. "In fact…"

Glinda smiled, this was a present on a bad day. Her brother was by far one of the most romantic soul in whole world. He was the middle child, Glinda was the baby of the family. It was there the 'big' sister joke had been born. She was the youngest and the smallest in the family Upland. It was the irony that drove Nathaniel to call his little sister 'his big sister'. But most of the nickname was heartwarming, Nathaniel liked to refer to Glinda as his sister with a big heart. He wouldn't like her alternative motives for pushing Elphaba towards him. Nathaniel was popular with the girls in her home town, but never had he found a girl that was 'amazing enough to be his girlfriend. Now he was staring at Elphaba with love and fascination.
"Elphaba…" Glinda stepped towards her. "This is my brother, Nathaniel. This is Elphaba…"

"Enchantée…" Nathaniel kissed her hand. "There isn't a rose in the country as pretty as you…"
"Well, …" Elphaba paused
"You are the most beautiful girl I ever met…" Nathaniel stared at her. "Anyone who doesn't believe that should get their eyes checked, twice."
"Well, then Shiz…" Elphaba turned to him. "Will be a lot of people checking their eyes."

"You're funny…" Nathaniel smiled "Glinda didn't tell.."
"That's because I don't speak sarcasm." Glinda stepped next to him. "Right, brother."
"Galinda told me you were single…" Nathaniel turned to her. "And I'm coming to Shiz, maybe you and I could get dinner, without Galinda. A bit candle light and I can cook or go to a restaurant. Or I could serenade you and make…"
"She says yes…" Glinda turned to Elphaba. "Right?"

"Yes…"
"Oh, Elphaba, I could write thousand words on your eyes, the most wonderful in Oz." he put an arm around her shoulders. "You are amazing…"

Glinda stepped next to them. In her mind she screamed 'Mission accomplished', now she would have Fiyero all to herself. There was no guilt in her mind, she had given her brother the perfect girl, she had given Elphaba that person that loved her for who she was and she had kept Fiyero to herself. The idea that she could be trapping Fiyero in a 'loveless' relationship wasn't something that her mind screamed. She didn't think about the missing part. She thought about keeping Fiyero with her. She noticed how her brother changed words with Elphaba. Wonderful, beautiful words. He put one arm around her. Elphaba looked a bit more happy, Glinda smiles she was the love doctor. Now there would be less unhappy people on the campus. People stared to 'Nathaniel'. Glinda knew that everyone would like to date him. He was maybe more handsome then Fiyero, only she couldn't think about her own brother being handsome.

Weeks passes, Fiyero had to watch Elphaba get closer to Nathaniel Upland, Glinda's overly handsome brother. The new Upland had a way with words, not missing a moment to call Elphaba his emerald goddess. What had gotten in to him? Wasn't he supposed to call her his emerald goddess? He didn't like the way that new 'Upland' put his arm around Elphaba. In his mind he screamed that only he could touch Elphaba Thropp.

Fiyero turned around, not once had he felt jealousy in such a strong way. He didn't mind Glinda hanging around Avaric. He didn't mind when boys were hitting on her. He didn't mind it when Glinda took a look at other pretty boys. But one look towards Elphaba, by mister pretty poet boy and it had been too much. One solo on that guitar, and Elphaba would be his. A smile appeared on Fiyero's face. Maybe he could try to serenade Elphaba. But his mind went back to Glinda, he was in love with Glinda. Glinda was his girlfriend. Not Elphaba. Elphaba was in love with mister 'pretty poet boy ' Upland. The boy that hadn't called her a traffic light. Oh why had he made that mean remark in his first week at Shiz? Why hadn't he fallen in love with her right away? Why had he been like the rest of the student body? Maybe he disserved this.

"Hey,…" Avaric stepped next to him. "I think that they dropped Glinda's brother on his head when she was born, can you explain why he likes Greenie?"
"She's kind of pretty…" Fiyero replied "I think."
"You should know…" Avaric laughed "You're the one having dream sex with her.."
"Okay, can you please stop talking about that…" Fiyero glared at him. "I don't want my girlfriend to hear. Why do you have to keep mentioning it?"
"Since more people seem to find her 'appealing…" Avaric spoke "Right?"

"I don't think you should talk about Elphaba in that way…" Fiyero turned to him. He stepped closer to Avaric. "There's nothing wrong with her…"
"She seems to be intoxicated with a green virus…" Avaric laughed "The only problem is, she can never heal from it."
"You're pushing it…" Fiyero turned to him. "Take it back!"

"It seems that a certain prince might be jealous." Avaric turned to her. "You can't have her, so now you want her. What about Glinda? Does she know you're in love with her?"
"I'm not in…" Fiyero paused "I don't think anyone disserves to be spoken about, in the way everyone talks about her. Ridicules her, she's a person with feelings."
"You should talk…" Avaric took a step closer. "Green light…"

"It almost seems like everyone…" Elphaba turned to him. "I don't like it when people stare at me, Nathaniel. I don't like being noticed…"
"That's the problem…" he reached for her cheek. "Why can't you see that you are the most beautiful woman on this campus? You are beautiful."
"Beautiful tragic." Elphaba turned to him. "There is no way I am beautiful. People forget 'things' happen, I…"

"Elphaba…" He put an arm around her shoulders. "Everyone in this campus is wrong. I don't know who ever told you, you weren't worth it. That person is an idiot. He didn't see the beauty I am…"
"Well, my mother…" Elphaba cried "My father always picked Nessa over me. She was beautiful, I would be lucky if someone, he told me I was ugly all the time. He thought…"
"He was wrong, Elphaba." Slowly Nathaniel kissed her. He was kissing Elphaba Thropp. The girl he was in love with. They had known each other for a month. A month that he was blessed by looking in her beautiful eyes. Staring at her, watching Glinda and Elphaba talk. Yet he noticed that something was wrong with Elphaba. He hadn't known her, but sometimes she looked sad. Like she wasn't going with him for 100%. Yet, he had tried to make her forget. He understood that the students were getting to her. It was his task to make her feel better about her. A tear rolled over Elphaba's cheek.

"What's wrong my emerald beauty?"
"I…" Elphaba turned to him. "I need to tell you something…"

I ship, I ship, what I ship and it is…. Elphaba/Nathaniel, Fiyereraba, Gliyero or others (Show me your creativity?)
-What is it you think Elphaba will tell Nathaniel?
One word: Review! I read all of your reviews! And they are welcomed! I love them, they make my day.
